Why do we as a species hate teenage girls so much?

My take: business interests do not in the main care about Pride or DEI. They care about PR.

. . . I used to teach this to high school sophomores in World History. To whom is this news?

The motives and politics are absolutely petty. The results are an ongoing nightmare.

Car dealerships in North America continue to wrestle with major disruptions that started last week with cyberattacks on a software company used widely in the auto retail sales sector.

CDK Global, a company that provides software for thousands of auto dealers in the U.S. and Canada, was hit by back-to-back cyberattacks Wednesday. That led to an outage that has continued to impact operations.

For prospective car buyers, that may mean delays at dealerships or vehicle orders written up by hand, with no immediate end in sight.

On Monday, Group 1 Automotive Inc., a $4 billion automotive retailers, said that it continued to use “alternative processes” to sell cars to its customers.

Turns out even the most "advanced" modes of plastics recycling are bullshit, just as 40+years of plastics recycling efforts before them.

Y'all might wanna start paying attention to our water systems and how incredibly vulnerable they are. Plan accordingly, as it ain't getting fixed soon!

In short we've learned nothing, done nothing, and will be caught flat again. If you're not ready, get ready, because no one is coming to save you.

I have a very difficult time imagining an internet that is both interoperable and ranking-free. Now, that having been said, we are well outside my area of expertise here so I'd love to hear from folks who know more than me.

School segregation got reinvented under many other names, including "redlining" and "public housing" and "urban renewal."

The folks in power have numerous strategies available to keep people in their place, as it were.

Due to a dependence on GPS, large scale farms are now hackable/disruptable.

Kessler Syndrome and YOU (www.kesslerrebellion.com)

Kessler Syndrome would end space travel and satellite communications for generations. It's worth taking a look at this group and its work.

It's not quite enough for me, personally, but this is a small step in the right direction.

I think that the real "down near the metal" solution is to own a dumb car, but those are getting thin on the ground . . .

The loss of public trust in the CDC in particular and public health in general are a huge problem. We'll need a generation or two to fix it.

This has a real "hide the zombie bite from your friends" feel to it, albeit on a much grander scale.

I've just been clued into this and I'd like to know if anyone can give me an idea of the quality of the information contained therein. Thanks in advance--I hope you're well today!

I gotta admit you had me in the first half . . .

I can tell you that an average 2-bedroom apartment was about 600USD when I moved to the city I currenlty live in. Today the cheapest apartment in town is 1300USA/month and getting higher. If I hadn't been lucky enough to buy a house when I did, I couldn't afford to live anymore.
