I DO NOT want self-driving cars.
I DO NOT want humanoid robots.
I DO NOT want Al in every app I use.
I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want a habitable planet.
She keeps rubbing herself against the chair or sofa until she builds up a static charge and then runs over and shocks me.
Why does she understand static electricity??? How does she know to use it for evil???
Every boundary you set is a testament to the love you now give yourself. Even when it’s uncomfortable, remember that your healing is worth the discomfort of others.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting.
We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.
L.A. Material’s @tomoki_chien found that L.A. issued nearly $1 million in invalid street sweeping tickets — many in one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods. LADOT claims it voided them but wouldn’t release the data to prove it.

Jo Nagai was raising swallowtail butterflies at his home in Kobe, Japan, when he noticed something odd. The ones he had looked after as caterpillars seemed to recognize him. Wild butterflies fled. His didn't.
He was in second grade. He wrote a four-page letter to Dr. Martha Weiss, an entomologist at Georgetown University who had studied whether moths could retain memories through metamorphosis. He asked if she could help him design a version of her experiment for butterflies.
She said yes.
Using a muscle therapy device, Jo trained caterpillars to associate the scent of lavender with a mild vibration. When the caterpillars became butterflies, 70 per cent of them still avoided the lavender. Their brains had been completely rebuilt during metamorphosis. The memory survived anyway.
Then he bred them.
The offspring, which had never been trained, also avoided lavender. So did their grandchildren. Without ever experiencing the vibration, two generations of butterflies inherited an aversion to a scent their grandmother had been taught to fear.
Jo documented it all in a 33-page research paper and presented his findings at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe in 2024. He was 10.
A second grader wrote a letter to a Georgetown professor, and together they found evidence that butterflies can pass memories down through generations.
