This is how msm filters the headline "most will die" or "survival uncertain" ...

Grocery prices set to rise as soil becomes "unproductive"
Depleted soil leads to reduced yields, forcing farmers to rely on fertilizers that raise food production costs, consumer prices.

Timely discussion in the comments of this post, on a topic worthy of consideration for those of us who've opted to use this platform.

I agree with OP, but it was useful for me to have a think on "why do I agree?"
“Is it okay for a social media platform to be an echo chamber” back in the day we had websites and websites were generally focused on a single topic and if you were into that topic you would visit that website and if you weren’t into that topic you just didn’t go on that website and it was fine

Headline is maybe a smidge too strong... but still! 🤯

"It performed a computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 1025 or 10 septillion years. If you want to write it out, it’s 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years."

Reminder: if you use Bluesky with Chrome and want the ability to turn off reposts for specific users, I made a free Chrome extension to do just that. Hopefully the team add this feature to Bluesky soon. 🤞
🚀 Update: Google approved my "shush" extension for Bluesky and it's now live on the Chrome Web Store. If any of you need to "shush" individual user's reposts (web app only), the extension is freely available here:

chromewebstore.google.com/detail/blues...
On Bluesky you can turn off all reposts, but not for specific users.

So, I just coded a Chrome extension that adds this feature to Bluesky. Now there's a "Shush" link on all reposts, and if you click it, all future reposts from that specific person will be removed.

Hopefully it gets approved. 🤞

This has been such a helpful framework for me:

stress = demands / resources

The breakthrough was realizing there are really only two ways to reduce stress:

1. Lower demands
2. Increase resources

Went there one last time, just to be sure. Seemed even more lame than usual after spending the last few days here.

I feel lighter now!
