Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

It is putting it mildly to describe these people as a death cult.

Good god Jared Leto. That’s my 90’s crush memory completely soiled. And this is almost certainly only the surface scum, he’s clearly a repellent toad who’s been allowed to behave like this unchecked for over 30 years. Alas aren’t they all. So much for Me Too.

Deeply disappointed by Andy Burnham’s lack of support for assisted dying (influenced by religious belief?) which simply condemns people to die badly for longer. Better palliative & social care would be great but won’t happen overnight and should not mean people’s individual choices should be ignored

Startup raises $10M to change “disrupt” recruitment by making the candidate pay for the privilege instead of the hiring company.

The utter insanity that is how social care is funded. I have a theory about why this hasn’t been fixed. I get that there is no easy solution but I don’t think anyone has really tried. I think it’s because we are collectively in denial about ageing & mortality. We think it won’t be us. It will.

The biggest AI risk isn't rogue machines—it's "cognitive surrender,” writes Evan Liu. As part of a series of student essays produced in collaboration with the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, Liu argues AI tempts us to outsource the struggle of learning itself.
