The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents | Fortune Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations β€œscrewed up” giving students access to so much technology: β€œI genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”

Now THAT's a headline.

**sigh** Who's gonna enforce this Chuck? This isn't an agency that can be redeemed or reformed, and that was true ten years ago. Shut it down, you have the most leverage you'll ever have in this fight, so FIGHT. More and more I'm convinced the dems are truly just diet-republicans

There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

Dismantle ICE. Prosecute these murderers. Impeach, remove, and charge the people who set this into action.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

A national general strike is needed not just to protest the violence, but to acknowledge the absurdity that we’re all just supposed to carry on with our stupid little daily lives amidst the ambient terrorism of an unchecked state militia executing innocent people in the streets of our country.

NYT: Federal Agents Kill a 37-Year-Old
Minneapolis Man
The victim was an American citizen with no criminal record who had a firearms permit, the city police chief said. Videos of the encounter contradict the federal
government's description of the shooting, a New York Times analysis found.

years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose

I did not create this memecoin nor do I endorse any memecoins.

This technology is being used to automate pump and dump schemes. The "community" is recruiting "investors" and co-conspirators with upfront payments and the promise of future gains by collectively exploiting each other.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone β€” including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

Texas solar power surpassed coal in 2025 for the first year ever. Here's why. In 2025 β€” for the first year ever β€” solar arrays provided more electricity to Texas’ main power grid than coal-fired power plants.

This is a watershed moment for Texas - for the first time ever, solar supplied more electricity than coal in 2025.

I will say it again: At this rate, TX will likely decarbonize its electricity sector faster than CA.

TX clean electricity is growing at 13%,m more than twice that of CA's at 6%.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible
