Very recently 2 people skied down Mt Everest. One down the North Face which has rarely been climbed up. Another came down the regular route with no O2. The latter is up on YouTube. The cinematography from the drones is incredible #scape

New ChatGPT ad copy: "Shallower than Google"
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Puzzling that the centrist pundits who are arguing for a "big tent" Democratic Party are the same people who spend all their time on social media attacking the left. The Venn diagram of these two groups is practically a circle.
Meanwhile, if you take Dems and subtract the left, you get 2000 and 2024

With the Epstein case, we either end up in a world where pedophilia, sexual assault of children, and human trafficking are endorsed by the United States of America, or we hold every single person involved in these heinous crimes accountable. It appears the Trump regime is trying hard for the former.

X isn't popular in the greater scheme of things. It's active user base is relatively small. But the epistemic damage it's doing the communities still there is vast and, unfortunately, some of those communities are profoundly influential on the national discourse.

Unaffordable electricity is fast becoming a major source of insecurity in the U.S.
AI data centers are devouring power—and causing light bills to skyrocket—while private equity giants like Blackstone buy up utilities to extract maximum profit. This really needs to be a bigger story.

Eleven states and the District of Columbia have seen double digit increases in the cost of residential electricity over the last year.
In New Jersey, electricity costs are up over 20%.
In DC, that number is over 30%.
