DEI has replaced "woke" because it's the perfect way to blame every disaster caused by billionaires on the &^$$#^s or the *&%%*^$s, and the press reports it as if were some sincere concern and not just a chant that would break out at a Klan rally.

Industrial carbon capture technology is getting lots of hype and investment, but sadly it just doesn't work. And it distracts us from what does.
It reminds me of cryptocurrency. Lots of hype and money flowing, but no meaningful use case.

“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

One reason people insist that you use the proper channels to change things is because they have control of the proper channels and they’re confident it won’t work. - Jon Stone
The Ohio Supreme Court has nullified the $650 million judgement that multiple counties won against Big Pharma over the opioid crisis.
The court ruled that the state's product liability law prohibits counties from bringing public nuisance claims against pharma corporations.

Conservative media reaction to the CEO shooter really illustrates how much of their schtick relies on a tacit agreement that they and only they are allowed to cross lines and say taboo things.
If anyone else does it they bust out the "Oh my heavens, wont, somebody think of the norms!" persona.

Debating whether or not Republicans *really* want to abolish multiracial, pluralistic democracy is futile. The proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is the state level: Wherever they are in charge, Republicans are openly embracing staunchly authoritarian measures intended to erect one-party rule.
The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...
