The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

I saw an honest to god UFO tonight. Around 10:45 PM near Carp, Ontario. No idea what it was. Maybe Perseids? Never seen a meteor move like that though Initially thought it was the ISS but the ISS was over Africa. Anyone else see this? Any ideas what it was?

For Canadians, contact your MPs and demand Carney invest in the kind of projects that will build a future that isn't on fire.

They are fire bombing our forests.

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity.
TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. πͺ
I like the tree burial option, though having a crow drop my mandible in someone's swimming pool is probably bad form. We can donate our bodies to science, which is great, but what if I want to donate my body to comedy?
