Worthy article to consider as we devolve into a nation of cherry pickers, gleaning from "social" media only those items which reinforce our chosen path of bigotry, be it left or right.

Who'd 've thunk it? Financial incest in the AI market with "circular deals" and "special vehicles". We all know what incest leads to. Or do we?

Strikes me as derivative of "at sixes and sevens", but maybe it's because I'm just an old fashioned guy where everything old is new again.

Parents and teachers cover your ears. Dictionary.com says its word of the year is “6-7.” The viral term is one kids and teenagers can’t stop repeating and laughing about.

America is currently a giant experiment to see how long we can keep stuffing a year's worth of news and outrage into every single day before everyone's heads explode

Like an old discarded bauble
gathering dust in some musty attic corner
catching gleams of sun through a broken shade
as hours shift seamlessly by
Looking down on us
not to judge
but to weep for those
who long forgot her true import

Since the ubiquitous presence of endocrine disruptors has been shown to negatively impact human fertility (among other health issues), think what impact it likely has on much smaller organisms. The biosphere is being insidiously and radically transformed by avaricious corporate industrialism.

NPR @npr.org · Sep 12

Research published this month found that even in pristine, untouched areas, insect populations are still on the decline. Climate change is a likely culprit.
