Is “science golden age” mosrly AI and free of brown skinned scientists
Aaron RuparNew in PN: The new "science golden age" looks suspiciously like a grift "It’s impossible not to wonder whether part of Trump’s loathing for universities is that there's no way for him to corrupt the process and make money off it in the same way he can by giving billions to Silicon Valley types."
Whilst the cost of living crisis continues to spiral, with food and fuel prices soaring, so do global oil and gas companies profits. Shell has today announced it's profits have more than doubled. This is obscene. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

I wrote this a few days ago. If you want to “protect” women’s sports from trans women, but not sexual abuse, you are really missing the entire plot and most of the side-stories.
Losing My Perspicacity, July 24, 2026Sit down, Sophie Cunninghamlosingmyperspicacity.beehiiv.comAlso remember that the fascists in power are just like the cops or the feds or anyone else in that the idea “if you did nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about” is bullshit.

What??
Spinoza at a bad dinner party.A reminder: California’s Prop 45 will exempt data centers from environmental regulations. It is backed by billionaires, silicon valley, power companies, water companies, and buffy wicks. If you don’t want 100 acre data centers in Ventura, Long Beach, or Monterrey, vote NO on prop 45.
Refrigerators, like almost every other appliance, have plummeted in total cost to own and environmental/climate impact over the past several decades, even when accounting for the shorter lifespan. The smart features are dumb but the rest of this is boomer coded slop
Jon of The NorthI don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.
So WSJ editors are going for “racism against white people” now?

Aaron Ross PowellJosh Hawley has a law degree from Yale. He know that "no honest person pleads the fifth" is a lie, and he understands why it's a lie.
