Disabled veteran, engineer, former government worker, former corporate executive, solutions architect, currently trying to save what's left of the planet and our democracy.

1 Billion acres have now burned across the planet so far this year. That's a land area equivalent to half of the continental USA. I want people to understand how much actual CO2 is released by burning trillions of trees, and how much CO2 won't be absorbed by them. Hint, it's 2x the amount to start.

Just a reminder that the city of Spokane, WA is burning to the ground at the current temperatures. Next year will be so much hotter as this el Nino releases it's energy from the oceans into the atmosphere. Which cities will be next?

They are already doing this to people. I'm terminally ill, and now retired. My Social Security and VA disability mean I'm low income. It took hundreds of pages of paperwork and 2 years to turn on my disability. I worked for the government for decades, so they already had the records.

In a socialist world, maybe. And that's a big maybe. In a capitalist world, not a chance. I say this as a retired engineer who ran the first TCP/IP networks in the government. And was the CTO of Solutioning for 4 of the largest technology companies on earth.

Sean Hannity: Do you believe that, in 5-6 years, there won't be any need to save for retirement because of the abundance AI will create? Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: I do.

Remember, only 50% of eligible voters voted in 2024. We ended up with Trump and a Republican majority in both houses, and a corrupted Supreme Court for decades. Your vote matters. So does your neighbors.

267,000 people are now under evacuation in France and Spain. And their fires are a fraction of the size of the fires in the US and Canada, and Brazil for that matter. But our government is still denying global warming exists.

You can't outsmart a fool. They will just argue until you give up. You can, however, out stupid them. For instance, just say "Trump will fix..." (You can insert anything you like here.) They will stop arguing immediately. Try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised how quickly they stop arguing.

These are actual quotes by Trump and Musk. I watched them say it in interviews. The last election was actually rigged, but it was by the people claiming it was rigged.

Here is the Earth's albedo from 2003-May, 2026. Albedo is the Earth's reflectivity of infrared radiation from the sun. Lower is worse. It means the earth is absorbing more heat than it is radiating into space.

www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... Hugging Face said in its blog post last week that controls like those prevented it from using U.S. AI models to investigate the AI-powered breach of its systems. Instead the company used a Chinese AI model to run the analysis, the company said.

ChatGPT owner says AI acted on its own to hack another tech firm

The incident follows recent concerns in Silicon Valley and at the White House that AI models are becoming dangerously good at identifying security flaws in software.
