The #ESA is the world's most successful conservation law, and it's under attack again. The Trump admin. just proposed four new rules that would gut the Act and drive imperiled plants and animals closer to extinction.

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Agree. I strongly believe that using AI to summarize information is a strong form of outsourcing your thinking.

Summarization is crystallizing your thoughts, and -- at least for topics you are still trying to learn -- you can't afford to let an LLM do that in your stead.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

This is what Elon Musk's trillion dollar payout looks like when annualized and compared to the total annual income of every EMT, school bus driver, nurse, teacher, cashier, and even CEOs.

🦬 The alacrity with which this administration kneecapped federal renewables is infuriating, but also insightful, because it shows that the next Democratic administration can and should do it to oil and gas.
Today the Department of the Interior announced they will hold the six offshore lease sales across off of California. I wrote about Reagan’s Interior Secretary James Watt opening up 80 million acres of offshore waters to oil and gas about a year ago. The last offshore lease in California was 1984.
