The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI.
Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and electricity.
AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.

For some scientists fighting partisan attacks, the goal is to defend their work from political interference. But in retaliating, @katherinejwu.com reports, they also run the risk of advancing the narrative that they want to fight.
Scientists Are Caught in a Political Trap

Food waste isn’t just wasteful — it’s catastrophic. 🌍
That means eating your leftovers, buying only what you’ll use, and cutting waste really can make a global difference.

In the age of monarchs, kings issued decrees. Tsars of imperial Russia proclaimed ukases. Dictators of the 20th century made diktats.
Trump issues executive orders. They make him feel powerful.
But arbitrary power depends on the acquiescence of everyone subjected to it.
