Imagine buying a car. You sign a contract. Then you discover the dealership changed the interest rate after you clicked "Accept." Or you transfer money to a bank account. You confirm the transaction. Then you realize you sent it to the wrong person—and the funds are gone. These aren't typos. These aren't forgotten passwords.

Earth is now warming faster than at any point in recorded geological history - around 10 times faster than the extreme warming event 56 million years ago and 20 times faster than at the end of the last ice age. We are almost certainly in a new extinction event.

THIS SHOULD TERRIFY EVERYONE. AI models from two of the world’s biggest AI companies broke out of controlled tests and attempted to hack real-world systems. Regulation isn’t optional anymore. If lawmakers don’t get serious about AI regulation, we’re living on borrowed time.

The saddest truth? The Earth does not need humans—we are the ones who rely entirely on the Earth. If we continue to destroy our only home, there will be no other world to nourish and protect us; yet, knowing this, we continue to drain Mother Earth dry like parasites.

I think the push for Democratic Socialism is completely logical reaction to the RNC's Kleptocratic Fascism and the DNC's Corporatist Centrism.

If you are a US citizen leaving the country, buy a cheap phone when you get there. Upload it all to the cloud and toss the phone before flying home.

Spotting Accessibility Issues Early — Online Workshops

Accessibility is not only a developer problem, it's team work! And many issues can already be spotted, prevented, and documented during the design phase.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
