Good. Noem is out.

But just how corrupt do you have to be for Trump to fire you for unseemly conduct?

I mean “is society better off as a whole”, not “this is a nice convenience for me”….

Ummm. Yeah, I don’t think a minor convenience outweighs all of the tremendous harm.

p.s. Sure, there are some very helpful algorithms out there for better medical imaging, editing photos, checking your code and writing, etc.

I don’t mean that stuff.

I mean things like ChatGPT, Claude, etc? Doesn’t it clearly do more harm than good for the world?

I’m curious: Can anyone give me an honest reason why generative AI is, net net, good for society?

I honestly can’t see a reason why it is.

Can someone give me a genuine case of why the benefits outweigh the tremendous harms?

On top of everything else, oil and gas prices are going to spike because of Trump’s war in Iran.

But guess what doesn’t get disrupted by wars?

Renewable energy. Solar. Wind. Geothermal. Storage.

The US Had a Big Battery Boom Last Year Despite Donald Trump’s unrelenting attacks on renewable energy, there’s a quiet revolution happening on US grids.

Big Battery Energy? Yes, America boomed in 2025. 🔋 Batteries are one of the 6 technologies outlined by Sr. Scientist Amanda Smith, PhD. that will make up the cleaner electric grid of the future.

I get the whole “Quit ChatGPT”, but honestly they are all bullshit generating, automated plagiarism machines.

They do more harm than good to society, without a doubt, and we would be better off walking away and focusing on enhancing, not replacing, human skills.

Nobody should using generative AI for anything that they really care about.

When you lay off 40% of your workforce on a single day, without some kind of fiscal emergency, it doesn’t make you a business genius.

It makes you a moron who didn’t see — for months and years — that nearly half of your entire organization wasn’t needed.

The company’s “AI” famously can’t do anything right even 50% of the time, and they are so transparently unethical that even the Facebook folks are like “we probably shouldn’t use tech that way,” so sure, by all means, put them in charge of the nuclear codes or whatever.

Or, you’re the moron who will soon realize that AI can’t actually do what 40% of your team did.

Windows are an oft-overlooked opportunity in building energy efficiency. 🪟High-performance windows reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, cutting heating and cooling costs by up to 50% while meaningfully lowering a building's carbon footprint.

Project Drawdown is thrilled to welcome three new leaders to our board of directors: Deepa Shiva, Lois Quam, and Sean Kinghorn who bring world-class expertise across business, investing, and governance.


Welcome to the team! 🤝 Let's get to work.

The image features a graphic from "Project Drawdown" titled "+INSIGHTS." It includes text stating, "Your windows might be the most uncomfortable part of your home" followed by "They don't have to be..." There is also a lightbulb icon and an arrow pointing to the text. The background shows window shadows.

Are your windows working hard or hardly working? The wrong windows might be the reason your energy bills are so high.

PD researchers Heather McDiarmid, Ph.D., and Henry Igugu, Ph.D., break down five ways upgrading your windows takes your home from basic to brilliant.

Whenever I see something like this, I immediately think about the dozens of meetings, pitch decks, proposals, and business plans that led up to this.

Creating this was actually a serious *job* for a bunch of people.

And it would be fun to meet them at a party.

“So, what do you do?”
