Bernie's new billionaire wealth tax would raise $4.4T from the super-rich over the next decade.

That's more than enough to reverse Trump's Medicaid cuts, raise teacher pay, make childcare affordable, and build millions of affordable homes.

And guess what? The super-rich will still be super rich.

That's no moon Jerry

Hello I am very excited about this

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

Writers shouldn't need AI to write or even revise what you want to say.

Writers write; writers don't prompt. #scriptsky

Hello, book people! I am the book content editor for Reactor Mag and I'm looking for 2026 sci-fi, fantasy, horror, romantasy, and speculative books coming out in the second half of the year! If you have an adult or YA SFF/H book out July-Dec (or publicist), share the link/info here!

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

I’ve barely been there and it’s nice. I still have my account but deleted everything I could with Redact. I circle back over there for a couple people who don’t post here, but that’s it.

Does anyone have a book recommendation for eco-rebellion? I’m looking for something similar to @madihaab.com’s “Heat Devils” from our Issue 17. Fast-paced and action-packed with a focus on taking down corporations that have ruined the planet. Any ideas? 🌱🧡

The reply function is also a little weird, but manageable.

There is a quote attributed to science fiction author Jerry Pournelle (although the sentiment has been offered by many others) that money will get you through times of no awards better than awards will get you through times of no money.

I predict this man has a very bright future.

Congratulations, pal.

I would love it if we would stop changing clocks in the US. But don’t the studies show that standard time is the way to go? IIRC some places have tried to stay on daylight time year round and it was disastrous. People THINK they want to stay on daylight time, but apparently doesn‘t end well.

HI ALL!👋 We heard that the sky is bluer here so we thought we’d come over and take a look!

Look, none of us are okay right now. Worth keeping in mind as you post and read posts on here tonight.
