Buy less, buy things that last, ideally used, put effort into caring for them, mending and repairing. In the long run it will be cheaper financially and environmentally.
If corporations can’t adapt to more environmental consumption then by capitalist rule they shouldn’t be around 🤷🏻♀️

It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?
www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h... "please, buy new phone. the economy is dying" is an incredible gaslight

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

I am able to maintain clean air in my home and work space. This had a huge positive impact on my family’s health, both protecting us from COVID for the last 5 years, but also in managing the effects wild fire smoke of the last few summers.
Why can’t we have this in workspace and schools?

My 3 imperatives from the UN event on indoor air.
We must...
1. Recognize indoor health is fundamental to human health
2. Recommit to ventilation / filtration not just as a technical standard for minimally acceptable conditions, but as a cornerstone of public health
3. Require indoor air monitoring

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

Because funneling subway riders into fare inspections is okay, but speed cameras to make roads safer is not.
For the record, I’m fine with BOTH speed cameras and fare inspections. We need actionable policies for city life that keep municipal infrastructure and systems working and safe.

The way institutions are bending over backwards to placate right-wing outrage—firing people for being honest about Charlie Kirk—is a reminder that one of the key tools the political Right uses to get its way is the implied threat of violence/force.
