@melodymakernz LOL! i love that I misunderstood you! I'm often holding my breath when I'm thinking about hitting the ball, but my coach says I should have regular breathing and then breathe through hitting. :)

TEN American scientists familiar with the US nuclear program are either missing, have died suddenly or have been murdered in the last 12 months. Nobody with power seems to think that’s in any way strange…

AI datacenters require between 1 to 5 million gals per day. In Iowa and Oregon, mega data centers have drained local aquifers, forcing residents to rely on trucked-in water. Aquifers can take hundreds to thousands of years to naturally recharge leading to permanent water scarcity
Silicon Valley Fodder@Playerinthgame

It would be helpful if people clarified that AI data centers are causing this concern. Traditional data centers certainly come with their own issues but, where a traditional data center might operate at 10-20 MW, AI data centers are designed for 100-300 MW, even 1 GW

I do *not* want an AI "summary" of an email, or a book, or a life. I do not want an AI summary of a winter sky, or my father's hands, or the hope in my child's eyes. I do not want an AI summary of the human heart, or the first little shiver of lust, or the long good work of love.

🚨do you understand what just happened with America's biggest corporations.. Disney made $8.3 BILLION in profit last year. Federal taxes paid: $0 CVS made $6.57 BILLION. Federal taxes paid: $0 Tesla made $5.7 BILLION. Federal taxes paid: $0 Meanwhile Tesla paid China $1 BILLION+ in taxes the same year. 88 corporations. $105 BILLION in US profits. Zero to the IRS. Instead? The government PAID THEM $4.7 billion in rebates. You paid more in federal taxes than Walt Disney. Let that sink in. > 1950s: corporations funded 1/3 of the federal budget > 2025: corporations fund 8.6% It's not illegal. It's not a loophole. It's the system working exactly as designed.

At least 88 of the largest corporations in America paid no federal corporate income taxes in their most recent fiscal year, per ITEP

Why did y’all need a research paper to tell you that if no one has a job companies don’t have customers
AI Highlight@AIHighlight

🚨BREAKING: Two researchers from UPenn and Boston University just published a paper that should be uncomfortable reading for every CEO automating their workforce right now. The argument is straightforward. Every company replacing workers with AI is also eliminating its own future customers. Laid off workers stop spending. Enough of them stop spending and nobody can afford to buy anything. The companies that fired everyone end up selling into an economy with no purchasing power left. Every executive can see this. The math is not complicated. But here is why nobody stops. If you do not automate, your competitor does. They cut costs, lower prices, take your market share, and you collapse anyway. So every company automates knowing it is collectively destructive because the alternative is dying alone while everyone else survives. The researchers proved this is a Prisoner's Dilemma playing out in real time. The numbers are already moving. Block cut nearly half its 10,000 employees this year. Jack Dorsey said AI made those roles unnecessary and that within the next year the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion. Salesforce replaced 4,000 customer support agents with AI. Goldman Sachs deployed a coding tool that lets one engineer do the work of five. Over 100,000 tech workers were laid off in 2025 and AI was cited as the primary driver in more than half those cases. 80% of US workers hold jobs with tasks susceptible to AI automation. The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income does not change a single company's incentive to automate. Capital income taxes adjust profit levels but not the per-task decision to replace a human. Collective bargaining cannot hold because automating is always the dominant strategy. They also identified what they call a Red Queen effect. Better AI does not solve the problem, it accelerates it. Every company chases faster automation to gain market share over rivals but at the end everyone has automated equally, the gains cancel out, and the only thing left is more destroyed demand. The one thing the math says could work is a Pigouvian automation tax. A per-task charge that forces companies to account for the demand they destroy each time they replace a worker. The conclusion is that this is not a transfer of wealth from workers to owners. Both sides lose. Workers lose income. Companies lose customers. It is a deadweight loss with no market mechanism to stop it on its own.

Your tattoo ink doesn't stay in your skin. It breaks apart and travels through your body to your lymph nodes, where it settles for life. And in the US, nobody has ever tested what's actually in it. Lund University in Sweden studied 5,695 people for this one. They controlled for sun exposure, tanning beds, skin type, smoking, income. After stripping out all those variables, people with tattoos still had a 29% higher risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Mixed black and colored ink pushed that number to 38%. People who'd had their tattoos for 10 to 15 years had 67% higher risk. Only 30% of the melanomas showed up where the tattoo actually was. The other 70% appeared on completely different parts of the body. The ink is traveling through the body, doing damage far from where it was injected. Your immune system is the reason. It treats tattoo ink like an invader. White blood cells swallow the particles and try to drag them to your lymph nodes (small filters spread throughout your body that help fight infections). But the particles never leave. They just sit there. A research team in France used X-ray imaging on donated human bodies and confirmed tattoo pigments stay lodged in the lymph nodes permanently. A separate 2025 study then found this causes inflammation in the lymph nodes for months, and it actually weakened the body's response to COVID vaccines. Black tattoo ink is loaded with the same compounds found in coal tar and cigarette smoke. The World Health Organization classifies these as cancer-causing. Colored inks use pigments that break down into different cancer-causing compounds when they get hit by sunlight or during laser tattoo removal. Arsenic, cadmium, lead, and chromium show up across almost every ink color. The EU saw the data and in January 2022 restricted over 4,000 chemicals in tattoo ink across all 27 member states. The FDA has the authority to do the same thing. They have never used it. No tattoo ink sold in America has ever been FDA-approved for injection into human skin. The only guidance the agency has issued was in 2024, and it covered bacteria in ink bottles, not the cancer-causing chemicals in the ink itself. 82 million Americans have at least one tattoo, roughly 1 in 3 adults. Every one of them has permanent, untested chemical deposits sitting in their lymph nodes right now. The EU already decided those chemicals were too dangerous to leave on the market.

Your brain recognizes the shape of a tree in 50 milliseconds, way before you're consciously aware of what you're seeing. And within seconds, your stress levels start to drop, not because of fresh air but because of the shape itself. Trees are what mathematicians call a fractal. The trunk splits into branches, those split into smaller branches, those into twigs. Same pattern, every scale. You see this design in coastlines, rivers, clouds, even the blood vessels in your own lungs. A physicist at the University of Oregon named Richard Taylor has been measuring this for years. He hooks people up to brain-wave monitors, shows them different images, and tracks what happens. Trees win. When people look at the kind of fractals you find in branches and bark, stress drops by up to 60%. A Swedish researcher named Caroline Hagerhall found the same thing: fractal images trigger alpha waves in your brain, the wave pattern your brain produces when you're calm but still awake. The swaying matters because your brain runs two attention systems. One is involuntary, stuff grabbing your focus whether you want it to or not. The other is directed, the one you actively control when you concentrate or resist checking your phone. Directed attention is a limited resource. It drains. City life burns through it fast: every notification, every ad, every car you dodge crossing the street. Tree branches moving in wind hold your involuntary attention just enough to be interesting, kind of like watching a campfire, but not so much that your directed system has to engage. One system stays gently occupied while the other recharges. Psychologists call this "soft fascination." People at the University of Michigan tested this in 2008. They had volunteers walk for about an hour through either a tree-filled park or through downtown streets, then retake memory and attention tests. The park walkers improved their scores by 20%. Downtown walkers showed zero improvement. Walking on a treadmill didn't help either, so the benefit came from the trees, not the exercise. In 2015, researchers at Stanford went further. They scanned people's brains before and after 90-minute walks. Nature walkers showed less activity in the brain region that controls rumination, when your mind gets stuck replaying the same negative thoughts in a loop. City walkers showed no change in that region at all. The dose is small. A 2019 Michigan study measured cortisol (the hormone your body pumps out when you're stressed) from saliva samples. Just 20 to 30 minutes in any place that felt natural, a backyard, a park, anything with some green, dropped cortisol 21% per hour beyond its normal daily decline. You don't even need to go outside. Roger Ulrich published a study in the journal Science back in 1984, tracking 46 surgery patients across nine years of hospital records. Patients whose bed had a window facing trees recovered almost a full day faster than patients facing a brick wall (7.96 days vs 8.70), needed less pain medication, and got 3.5 times fewer negative notes from nurses. Stress-related illness costs the US over $300 billion a year. A window with a tree outside it costs close to nothing.
@adorewordss

you should pay more attention to trees and how they sway in the wind, trust me
