One of the biggest things to me is this is *on by default* and OpenAI not disclosing humans may read chats like this. I asked where they do disclose it, the company didn't answer. They did quietly update info telling people how to opt-out after I emailed them though www.404media.co/inside-proje...

Another Pennsylvania #measles death, this time in an unvaccinated 40 year old woman.
3 deaths with less than 700 confirmed cases suggests this outbreak is much larger than reported (no surprise).

WRT “flood gates” here’s one more reminder that personal car trips are the number one category of climate change-inducing GHG emissions in the Bay Area, by a significant margin.

I get that rebalancing street design away from car dominance is inconvenient to those whose lifestyle is fully oriented around driving. But personal passenger vehicles are the No 1 source of GHG emissions in CA. Taking action to address this isn't "environmentalism gone awry", it's a core component.

Why wouldn't local media give info about how many raises OPOA has had in the last decade vs civilian unions? My rough math: SEIU and IFPTE have received a total 19% worth of increases, literally having to go on strike to get most of it after years w/out. OPOA: a staggering 38.5%.

I am a scientist – and the answer is climate change.
Yes, there is nuance. Yes, it could take a long time to identify the precise mechanisms.
But there is no question why ice and snow-related disasters are on the rise. Our planet is warming at an unprecedented rate, and humans are responsible.

In Nepal, it will most likely take months for scientists to understand exactly what led to deadly flash floods that killed over 1,000 people and left thousands missing. Early theories posit glacier meltwater and a thawing permafrost could have contributed to bedrock collapse.

That's not even including speaking engagements, podcast money, and product endorsements. She probably cleared a million that year, easily.

For me, the biggest takeaway from Sophie Cunningham’s hard launch into the right-wing culture wars is how *lucrative* bigotry is now. There’s an entire conservative media ecosystem that will turn anyone willing to make transphobia their personal brand into a well-compensated star.
