GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

If you’re waiting for a charismatic leader to step up and fix everything, get used to waiting. There’s no mythical rescuer coming. There’s just all of us and the daily work of supporting our communities. Find a local org, get involved, help the people around you. That’s the only answer.

⚡️ Zelenskyy at Davos: We want to end the war this year—not just quickly but fairly and reliably.

“All those things you learn in economics, in finance, are all made up by us … if this is all made up & it's not working, let's invent something that works better” In Ep 16, @adriennebuller.bsky.social & Hans Stegeman break down post-growth economics & “green” finance ⬇️ youtu.be/0H3tjdc3PyE?...
