My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

Very true. Also, threads will always have inflated numbers due to its integration with Instagram. Some that actually use it, but I think I technically have an account that was created when I was prompted to open it and haven't opened it since.

Population hit 8.2 billion monthly people, up from 6 Billion in 1999.
Current growth is about ~1% in the last year. At the current pace, there will eventually be more bluesky users than people.
The world risks becoming a ghost planet.
It is still so unsettling to see straight up racist/fascist talking points from official government accounts. Everyone involved in this admin needs significant prison time if we ever make our way out to the other side.

1. The student never mentions Jews
2. The university is going to expel a student for criticizing a country over genocide
3. A Republican congressman is taking credit and implying the student is a Muslim terrorist
4. The U.S. Justice Department is involved
"I'm sorry" before sharing the "harsh truth" is such a tell.

But capitalism is not humanity!
(3) push hard enough on the pronatalist arguments — particularly from the activists and funders — and you’ll find them sliding into white nationalism.
My basic critique of the “depopulation bomb” argument is:
(1) this is fake. Birth rates aren’t falling because of some exogenous force. They’re falling because mass preferences have shifted. Forecasting that we have a crisis because those new preferences will stay locked in for centuries is silly.
