I wish this weren't true, but we now have take his threats about Greenland more seriously, and start to talk about the world-changing mistake if he chose to go to war with Europe - which would essentially guarantee the rest of this century is China's.

Nobody wants to admit to caring about the climate anymore, and yet clean tech financing is booming, making a mint for investors. Trump is betting the future on a shrinking pot. The smart money is going green.

The Smart Money Is Turning Out to Be Green Money
Climate and money are too often divorced in our imaginations, the assumption being that you can’t make money or properly run an economy and keep the climate from imploding at the same time. People who...

If (like me) you are HIV+, on treatment and living in Europe, please take part in the Ask Us study.
Our research should help ensure people get the best treatment for their needs.
Trans and neurodiverse respondents particularly welcomed - more data is needed for these groups.

The issue teaching how to spot AI is that the tells are going to be constantly changing and something that was a feature of AI a couple months ago will no longer be a feature of it

Like I am fairly good at spotting it but sometimes I literally don’t know for sure.

So many Americans seem to have a reason why nothing can ever be done about fascism except elections and posting. Yet in Indonesia, a complex and multi ethnic country spread across an archipelago, the people overthrew President Soharto.

January 6 and Access Hollywood were the two moments when the GOP establishment's initial response was "it's finally over, thank God."

And then they wound up walking it back because they'd so badly underestimated the depravity of their base and they weren't willing to stop him without base support.
I know this feels impossible now, but I swear, on January 6 itself, there was a pretty broad bipartisan consensus that storming the Capitol to find and kill lawmakers was bad, and that Trump was responsible for inciting his followers to try it

On January 6, 2021, Thomas Webster, an ex-NYPD officer, attacked a cop at the Capitol. He went to prison—then was pardoned. Jamie Thompson spoke with Webster and with officers who were attacked about the enduring effects of that day—and Trump’s mission to make Americans forget it.

Trump may genuinely have just saved the BBC. Before it was being attacked from all sides for both valid and made up reasons. Now most of the nation is fully backing the BBC in the face of a twat who thinks he can use money and the courts to silence people he doesn't like.

This is from Justine Davis, MLA for Johnson in the NT. It’s very good.

“Australians are capable of moral agency. Caring about people overseas, about racism at home, or scrutinising government conduct does not make someone an extremist - it makes them a participant in civic life.”
