🚨 A direct attack on clean water.
Trump is gutting a rule that stopped coal companies from dumping toxic heavy metals (mercury, arsenic, lead) directly into rivers and streams.

This isn't energy policy. This is a license to poison drinking water for the sake of profit.

I once suggested to a Psychiatrist that he - and his wife - both take antidepressants at full strength so that they, too, could "enjoy the benefits"😏He declined. My previous Primary Care Physician said one day: "Well, you know, Gordon, they're all poisons" (i.e. meds).

Psychiatrists were asked what they’d recommend for depression.

79% chose antidepressants for a patient.

But only 39% chose the same if it were them.

Leading medical journal The Lancet publishes call to expel Israeli Medical Association over Gaza genocide
——
Medical journal The Lancet has published a petition calling for the Israeli Medical Association to be boycotted and expelled from the World Medical Association over its failure to condemn what the petition describes as Israel's genocide against Palestinians and the collapse of Gaza's healthcare system.

The campaign, launched by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, Healthcare Workers for Palestine, and Doctors for Gaza, has so far received support from more than 1,150 healthcare professionals and medical organizations. The call for expulsion is expected to be raised at the World Medical Association's general assembly in October.

The Israeli Medical Association opposed the move, arguing that its expulsion would not advance peace, healthcare, or human rights, and would instead create a precedent for using political pressure campaigns to isolate healthcare workers based on their nationality.

Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy.

Not might. Not could. Will — if nothing changes.

The paper is called "The AI Layoff Trap." Published March 2, 2026. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Boston University. Peer reviewed. Mathematically modeled.
The conclusion is one sentence.
"At the limit, firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand."

An economy that produces everything. And sells it to nobody.
Here is how you get there.
A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI. A competitor fires 700 to keep up. Another fires 1,000. Every company is behaving rationally. Every company is following the incentives correctly. And every company is building a trap for itself.

Because the workers who were fired were also customers.
When they lose their jobs faster than the economy can absorb them, they stop spending. Consumer demand falls. Companies respond by cutting costs — which means automating more workers — which means less spending — which means more falling demand — which means more automation.

The loop has no natural exit.
The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income. Capital income taxes. Worker equity participation. Upskilling programs. Corporate coordination agreements.
Every single one failed in the model.
The only intervention that worked: a Pigouvian automation tax — a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI, forcing them to price in the demand they are destroying before they pull the trigger.

No government has implemented this. No major economy is seriously discussing it.
Meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve. 100,000 tech workers laid off in 2025. 92,000 more in the first months of 2026. Jack Dorsey fired half of Block's workforce and said publicly: "Within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion."
Nobody is doing anything wrong. Companies are following their incentives perfectly. That is exactly the problem.

Rational behavior. At scale. Simultaneously. With no mechanism to stop it.
Two economists built the math. The math leads to one place.

This documentary is the single most inspiring thing I’ve seen in years. @DemocracyNow gets no media industry buzz, but considering the odds & money stacked against it & its enormous reach, it is the greatest media success story of this era — and it’s not particularly close.

“By inventing commerce, humans invented a death cult that worships waste, monetizes worthless things, and devalues anything that was ever worth something. It is ironic that a species so obsessed with owning things became so quick to want to part with them”

@JoeyNimkii It is good to see your postings again. I have been on Facebook more recently and I do miss your delightfully caustic comments. I hope all 3 of you are well. I am just getting older and stuck indoors unable to get out at all for anything.

The greatest damage done by neglect, trauma, or emotional loss is not the immediate pain they inflict but the long-term distortions they induce in the way a developing child will continue to interpret the world and her situation in it.

59 years ago today, the Supreme Court of the U.S. struck down state laws prohibiting interracial marriage.

Today and every June 12, we celebrate #LovingDay, a day of inclusivity, visibility, and education.

Thank you to Richard and Mildred Loving for their bravery.
