If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

Currently, we are in the “worst global bleaching event on record that has now hit more than 80% of the planet’s reefs”. Reefs in at least 82 countries and territories “have been exposed to enough heat to turn corals white since the global event started in January 2023”.
A reminder that the Australian government continues to conceal the unprecedented mass mortality of corals on the Great Barrier Reef in 2024 (until after the election).

Generative AI is melting our only planet.
Don’t use it.
ChatGPT wastes 10x the amount of water as Google.
And last year, Google was in talks to purchase 8 nuclear reactors in order to power their own AI.
This is not sustainable.
Stop using it today. It’s literal Earth Day.
