Just landed in Minneapolis for a conference and was shocked by the extremely thick air pollution. Turns out it’s the Canada wildfires.

The air is hard to breathe and I wouldn’t be considered part of a “vulnerable” group health-wise.

MUST-WATCH: “XAI is treating people who live in MEMPHIS as if they don’t count.”

The air pollution is deadly.

And Musk’s XAI is already expanding, as Trump’s EPA deregulates to pave the way.

This should be a bigger story.

Warner Bros and Kodak released a 10+ minute video of Ryan Coogler explaining how he shot Sinners on film and how people can see it in different formats in theaters. This is some of the best film promo I’ve seen in years.

Journalists need to be more than scribes. Racist white people are overtly trying to take us back to an apartheid state and we're getting articles that read like meeting minutes. Literally none of their reasons for any of this makes sense, unless you ask yourself: are these people racist??
