Jeff Bezos claiming humans are consuming too much water and not leaving enough for AI data centers is INSANE.

Who would’ve thought that forcing ads every 15 minutes would make young people look for ad-free alternatives?

Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.

The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.

What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.

Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.

In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

Men who say "women strip naked in front of the camera when they need money, men do hard labor when they need money" ignore these women and erase their existence because they don't serve men's misogynistic and reactionary narratives

My mom paid off her house in 2003.

Thought that was it. Thought she was done. Thought it was finally hers.

Property taxes were $1,800 a year back then.

She’s retired now. Fixed income. Same house. Same neighborhood.

Property taxes are $24,000 a year.

That’s $2,000 a month.

On a house she already paid for.

She’s 71 years old and the government sends her a bill every year just to stay in her own home.

You never really own anything in America.

You just make payments to a different landlord.

I think of these women every day and feel guilty.
If not for geographical luck this could be me. I don't know how to help
