By my estimation if SCO win, they'll get a third place spot.

He's unlocked recursive miracle attribution. That he was attributed 2 miracles is itself a third miracle. Some guy getting 3 miracles? That's another miracle..

It's such a missed opportunity. Climate change could be used as a blanket excuse for a boon in technology, construction, transport network development, urban redesign, an agricultural revolution and all the investment, tourism, etc that would come with that. Adapting our communities and ways of life toward a sustainable world could be an awesome process and something to celebrate. Any politician that sees this and runs with it will look like a hero for relatively little effort.

Thanks for the heads up! My thoughts: thank god. In time for the candidates too. When Chessbomb and then chess24 got wiped out, I stopped following tournaments as closely cuz the chesscom page is cumbersome to use and laggy af.

To expand on your thought of physical engagement.. With all the dangers and pollutions of car traffic eliminated, outdoor classrooms. More walking, reading, play, reflection. Daily field trips to learn about local industry, some aspect of real world life, or simply to interact with other groups of people such as intergenerational engagement. A distinct and important role of elderly people in this.

Everyone else urge Biden to stop arming Israel citing anti-genocide values. Not to mention guaranteeing republican victory in November.

This is an application of ai that I don't think people have caught onto yet.. Doing the calculation. Everyone and their descendents who got rich screwing the environment and others will pay reparations and the few people who can stop the financial computer network from carrying it out won't since everyone will want to find out what happens. Ai is capable of orchestrating this reckoning.

Sure but a headline like 'sensible regulation affects almost no one' wouldn't get the clicks

If they banned all robocalling, wouldn't that solve it? Can a prioritisation of quality of life over marketing include the phone space? Four US states ban billboards. With an ad blocker, the internet is usable. Nitpicking which tactics can be used in robocalls won't hardly solve the vicious spread of misinformation in this way.

Fair enough, but the result is the same. The teams aren't clubs and are beholden to a closed single entity, big asterisk next to the Packers.

I wonder if by boycotting they'll find interest in other sports where the league doesn't own all of the teams.
