Make stuff. Do your hobbies. Geek out with your weird friends. Practice arts and crafts. Every society that ever burned to the ground left behind only the handicrafts, and every society saved from the brink was saved only by arts. Do not give up the joy of creating.

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).
I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Writing is thinking and much more than a skill. Writing and writing knowledge are methods for thinking through ideas and storing insights so we can return to them later. Writing allows someone to build their ideas & imagination into reality.
The idea of losing the skill of writing is bigger than an inability to write an essay; it's the inability to express oneself, to know what one truly thinks. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/17/u...

Educators are worried that many students can no longer write essays without A.I. And it’s costing more than just grammar skills.

A study of 192 people with chronic conditions released from immigration detention tracks their mental health afterward, asking what interrupted medical care leaves behind once custody ends.
