Federal scientists will stop updating the NOAA list of billion-dollar weather disasters. The list, which had grown rapidly in recent years, reflected both worsening extreme weather and expanding development nationwide.

We’ve talked about this before, but we wanted to expand on it a little more. Late last week, Elon Musk’s so-called β€œDepartment of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) effectively took control of the Department of the Interior without a single Senate confirmation, public hearing, or vote.

So some people are plainclothes ICE agents interrogating small children, other people are random sociopaths impersonating ICE agents but everyone is supposed to know the difference, surely this won’t get even worse

Hayao Miyazaki, Who Said AI Is β€˜Insult to Life Itself,” Reduced to AI-Generated Meme by OpenAI The internet is flooded with AI-generated images in the style of Studio Ghibli, whose founder said β€œI would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all.”

Hayao Miyazaki, who said AI is an "insult to life itself," would probably hate all the AI-generated art ripping his studio's style that people in the AI industry are now obsessed with www.404media.co/hayao-miyaza...

I'll never be sorry for caring about things as much as I do, but living in a world with so many people who don't is so incredibly frustrating and demoralizing.

I love this time of year because people will post something super dramatic and vague like β€œNooooooo” and I can’t tell if it’s about football or *gestures outside window* all of this.

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.
