ngl, thinking that the issue here is just that "US is rational and stable" is a load-bearing assumption for a lot of things so people default to it. because house of cards collapses entirely if assumption is put into severe doubt

The plan is to buy out those in the flood zone while simultaneously building attractive, affordable housing on higher ground so they have somewhere to go. Few if any managed retreats address that second problem of where residents should relocate.

We also need to start teaching today's students how to look into the future when making decisions about their careers. Long gone are the days when you can assume that you will work with one job title at one company for your whole career.

When multiple professions go away, so do the businesses that support them, as well as the places those people out of work would spend their money.

In addition to being an environmental nightmare and sucking up ridiculous amounts of power and water, AI will take out entire industries.

Jobs most at risk:
Programmers
Customer service reps
Data entry clerks
Paralegals
Content writers
Bookkeepers
Marketing analysts
Media/journalists
Sales

Our phones, our f-ing doorbells, the supermarket, cameras in parking lots & cameras on the street are all tracking our movements and our identities.

Warning⚠️
AI IS DANGEROUS!

We're in the beginning stages of a surveillance state nightmare that will be global & dangerous.

Freedom is at stake.
Your livelihood is at stake.
Your life may even be at stake.

Call Congress at 202-224-3121.

Demand restrictions on AI to protect our privacy & jobs.

It's been 65 days since Donald Trump invaded a sovereign state, abducted its leader, and declared the US will "run" the state indefinitely

It's been 9 days since Trump launched a war (his word) against Iran without congressional approval

No House member has filed articles of impeachment for either

Ring's Jamie Siminoff has been trying to calm privacy fears since the Super Bowl, but his answers may not help | TechCrunch The facial recognition question is where things get more tangled.

He can do a perpetual damage control tour for the next 30 years, but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s trying to build the panopticon.

This would be a nice development but it requires not only changes to and investment in infrastructure but also for American culture to grow beyond fear of cities and of “urban” populations

I do like the idea of people being priced out of fear though

Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the “SAVE AMERICA” act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to “save America”.

Coin used as Leeds bus fare was 2,000‑year‑old currency The coin was handed down to Peter Edwards from his grandfather in the 1950s.

It’s dangerous, not to mention bullcrap, white people are not in any kind of danger or having anything taken from them.

It’s a call to violence and lunacy. Hayden Lake was a scary place.
