Here's an excerpt from the secondary trauma toolkit. FYI, this 'zine is free for patrons at the $3 level and up, and it's made for sharing...

Black text on white reading: Secondary Trauma Traumatic breaking news is everywhere. It ambushes us. Secondary trauma (vicarious trauma) is a mental health threat. It's what journalists, healthcare workers, and social media mods experience when they cover tragedies like casualty events or interview violent crime survivors. Right-wing assholes thrive on crushing our empathy, but humans are naturally empathetic. Empathy, like diversity, is our power. Let's protect it, sharpen it. "Secondary trauma – aka compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, or secondary traumatic stress – occurs when someone is significantly impacted by someone else’s trauma," per PsychCentral. It can lead to PTSD-like symptoms (depression, apathy, anger, helplessness, nightmares, hypervigilance). It's seldom acknowledged and often stigmatized when it’s from news or social media. What's going on inside? The answer is: A perfectly reasonable, but unpleasant response. Play Tetris, Pokemon Go, Candy Crush, or any game you like. This is called "imagery-competing task intervention," and a 2025 study found that 20 minutes of Tetris on their phones helped reduce PTSD symptoms in healthcare workers coping with secondary trauma.

US bet: Ai, China bet: Green
“In 2024, the country invested an estimated $940bn in clean-energy capex, broadly defined as renewables, electricity grids and energy storage (batteries), dwarfing its AI investments” ft.com/content/1258...
Presented basically this argmnt last wk @basakkus.bsky.social
Could America win the AI race but lose the war?
The US has gone all-in on artificial intelligence. But the idea of an end-of-times battle with China over tomorrow’s key technology is part delusion, part lobbying tool for Silicon Valley

Oh, and Rob Reiner the movie exec also bought an early script for Good Will Hunting, and wisely told Affleck & Damon to ditch the action tropes to instead focus on character

Good Will Hunting was originally a lot more like Beverly Hills Cop before Rob Reiner advised a rewrite.
