This is about a thousand more people than died in the attack on the World Trade Centre in 2001, yet hardly a mention in news bulletins. Extreme heat is becoming so frequent to the point where it’s no longer noteworthy, while some say we should slow down on emissions reductions…

The antidote to arrogance is not ignorance, but profound humility. It’s the understanding that a whale’s migration, a mycorrhizal network, and a mangrove’s root system represent a wisdom we are only beginning to decode. Our role is student, not master.

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

Whereas broader AI use may take longer than many expect, malevolent use by hackers and deepfakers, as well as unsupervised use by children, is growing rapidly, making political interventions more likely, notes Raghuram G. Rajan. bit.ly/4eXFQnB

Just because something is technically feasible does not mean that it is good for humanity. Rather, that depends on who controls the technology, and what ideology and interests guide them, @DAcemogluMIT writes. bit.ly/4o2y1Q0

Prof. Katharine Hayhoe
I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet.* Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming.** Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”*** * in 1937, Guy Callendar published a paper showing that the world had already warmed over the last 50 years due to human emissions what he called “carbonic acid“ – what we now call CO2 – from burning fossil fuels ** If you are wondering, “how could humans be causing more than 100% of the warming?” — it’s because, according to natural factors, the earth should be cooling right now. So our emissions are offsetting that cooling AND causing all of the observed warming. *** For more on the well funded disinformation campaign, read or watch Merchants of Doubt and The Petroleum Papers

A Texas anti-data center organizer just described what happens when communities try to fight billion-dollar tech expansion projects: there’s nobody left to call. She says EPA and FEMA complaint systems are now a shell of what they once were after cuts pushed by Trump and Musk-era DOGE policies.

We should all be deeply offended. This is OUR taxpayer money, and elected officials who are supposed to be accountable to us are carrying out deeply cruel immigration policies in Newark and across the country.

Donald Trump is trading stocks in companies his government affects through policy decisions. He’s holding the stocks while pulling the levers that determine their value. It’s corruption, plain and simple.

Nicholas Kristof@NickKristof·
Here's what the pork industry doesn't want you to know about the way it sneaked a provision into the 2026 farm bill that would nullify ballot measures that improve animal welfare, while helping Chinese companies torture American pigs. The issue is personal to me, because we once raised pigs on our family farm, and I saw that these are not commodities but animals rather like dogs: smart with very distinct personalities. A naughty boy who punishes a single animal may be punished, but an adult who presides over the systematic abuse of hundreds of thousands of pigs as a business model is hailed as a visionary CEO -- and voters get that, and that's why they have backed laws that improve animal wellbeing. This is, remarkably, an issue that unites many liberals and conservatives alike; @TomiLahren, @Cernovich and @IngrahamAngle are among those who have been outspoken on this issue. I hope R and D members of Congress alike will stand firm, for the stakes are immense, with four pigs slaughtered around the clock on average all year. Here's a gift link to my piece: nytimes.com/2026/05/30/opi… I welcome your comments.
