This MAY be very farfetched but hold my sparkling water:

- Global temperatures started rising in ~1950
- US started installing ACs in ~1950
- 90% of US homes have AC

- EU never did: only 19% of EU homes have AC (!)
- Only 16% of the top EU companies were founded after 1950
- But 64% of top US companies were founded after 1950

Could it just all be down to having AC and being able to think clearly?

Lee Kaun Yew, the founder of Singapore, said the #1 reason Singapore became rich was AC while its surrounding countries stayed relatively poor

It's weird that we talk so much about a "loneliness epidemic" but we don't really talk to people about how to make friends or why they are not making friends.

So, a few things.

I've said this before and people get very angry about me — but something has to replace smoking.

Not only are run clubs a thing but I’ve seen a resurgence in book clubs and dinner parties and game nights, etc. More of my friends are playing tennis and golf. People genuinely just want community back and also hobbies that have nothing to do with trying to get rich.

this is gonna sound like a bit, but i'm serious: if there's one thing i suspect might be a cure to all ills, it is good reply game. i'd argue that good reply game, in le guin's sense of "love is not a stone that sits there, love is bread that must be remade anew, daily", IS love

It’s so refreshing talking to someone that wants to talk to you. A really nice feeling. You can talk for hours and not get tired.

The bigger stat for me: 96% of execs surveyed believed AI would lead to efficiency gains, but 77% of workers say they’re now less productive, and 47% say the targeted productivity gains are impossible.

Once in a while I watch a video of someone integrating the library, taking notes of how I could improve that experience.
It often comes down to people not spending 2 mins reading what's in front of them, so my job has been to plant redundant info in various locations.

Germany's finance minister Lindner loves to claim "record public investment".

In fact, Germany is forecast to have the second-lowest public-investment-to-GDP ratio of all EU countries in 2025.

Bürgergeldempfänger, die nicht arbeiten wollen? Zahlen des Jobcenter Düsseldorf: seit Einführung des Bürgergelds am 1.1.2023 gab es 286 Sanktionen wegen fehlender Mitwirkungsbereitschaft = 0,7% aller Leistungsempfänger

Please let this sink in and then compare it to modern animation schedules. Entire seasons are made in the time allowed to an animator for one crowd scene. I hope stuff like this lets people have a better understanding of the industry and helps them be kinder towards those in it

Die Zahl sog. Arbeitsverweigerer lag 2023 bei gerade mal bei rd. 15 T. Ein Nichts. Sorry Herr #Linnemann, aber ich habe selten ein sachunkundigeres, undifferenzierteres, aber verhetzenderes Stammtischgelaber gehört, wie Ihres bei #Lanz.

Die Nachricht: Israels Besatzung ist als solche illegal

Das ZDF macht daraus: Israels Siedlungspolitik ist illegal https://t.co/n09whjIgLt

Wie kann man so schlecht berichten?
