I applied for a summer internship with NOAA when I was a college student because I was very concerned about climate change. I didn't get it. The competition may have been very fierce.
By the way, we still need a Green New Deal. Also, it would have been nice if all of Build Back Better had passed.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Most young people are worried, as they should be, about the impact that AI will have on their lives and their ability to earn a decent living.
Our job is not complicated. We must make certain that AI and robotics improve life for all, and not just make billionaires even richer.

NEW: Americans want AI regulation & yet the opposite may happen.
Same thing happened on Wall Street regs, crypto & health care.
It's an axiom: legalized bribery enshittifies politics so organized money defeats disorganized people, even when people want something better.

Happy birthday to the great Joe Dante. One of his numerous career highlights was directing one of my favorite horror movies, The Howling (co-written by another cinematic giant by the name of John Sayles).

Trump’s “mass deportation” is not deportation at all.
When people are captured without due process, that's kidnapping. When they’re sent to another country against their will, that's human trafficking. When they're put in a prison with no way to get out, that's a concentration camp.

So, anyway, both Pi director Darren Aronofsky and I have been fascinated by comic book characters and mathematics.
And then there's that other Ben, Ben Affleck, who co-wrote mathematician-focussed Good Will Hunting and played Batman.

Random thought: Does Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville ever say anything that isn't unbelievably stupid? "Ask Tommy Tuberville" would be a really funny recurring skit on SNL or Jimmy Kimmel.
