Did you know that in the early 2020s, producing energy with solar power became cheaper than fossil fuels?
“Solar and wind power are almost too cheap for our economy,” says author Bill McKibben, arguing the switch from fossil fuels must happen soon.

RIP TikTok. The ultimate example of the olds not getting it.
It is especially ironic that we're freaking out about a foreign owned social network when we're letting untrustworthy figures straight through the door over here

I don't really use TikTok that much, but I find it fascinating that our government is on the verge of banning an app for national security reasons that are still unclear in the same week that Meta, the largest social media company, says it's now fine to hate LGBTQ people and call us mentally ill.

Jordan v. New London. The SCOTUS ruled that it's perfectly legal and ok to discriminate against hiring smart people because they were able to prove the case that stupid people make better cops.
SCOTUS literally said American police are stupid and they want to weed out smart ones.
