Card grading company PSA has been hit with a proposed class action lawsuit
It accuses the trading card grading giant of fraud, misleading marketing, and inconsistent grading practices
This is what I was tweeting about yesterday. We can no longer rely on the assumption ai will be visually distinct or bad looking. Yesterday I heard an ai song that was horrifyingly good to where I was shocked it was ai. You must be against ai on principle, not bc of aesthetic
Iโm a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline.
โNearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet.*
Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming.**
Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.โ***
* in 1937, Guy Callendar published a paper showing that the world had already warmed over the last 50 years due to human emissions what he called โcarbonic acidโ โ what we now call CO2 โ from burning fossil fuels
** If you are wondering, โhow could humans be causing more than 100% of the warming?โ
โ itโs because, according to natural factors, the earth should be cooling right now.
So our emissions are offsetting that cooling AND causing all of the observed warming.

Went down a funny rabbit hole:
1. Saw a tweet from a youtube channel complaining about getting demonetized
2. Channel just posts AI slop animal stories
3. Many comments on these AI slop vids come from other AI slop channels doing the same thing
4. That's how I found this
Honestly I donโt care about this as all, I was asked about this a month ago in an interview but Iโm not invested in this topic. I am however passionate about the false narrative that rock isnโt in a good place. DWP fests are bigger than ever and thatโs with modern rock and metal bands (MCR, BMTH) headlining this year not exclusively heritage acts or 70โs rock nostalgia acts. We donโt need to bow down to our elders at all times out of some misguided deferential bs. Rock is alive and kicking ass.
$55 billion dollars later and weโre back at square one. Except Iran is $20+ billion dollars richer, our economy is cooked, weapons stockpile is depleted, most bases in the middle east are gone, and our allies hate us. Oh and a lot of innocent dead people.
Masterful gambit, sir!
