I had the opportunity to talk #ecotourism with @CBSNews this weekend. Thanks @CBS_Herridge for the great convo, and giving this topic more exposure! cbsnews.com/video/how-to-t…


Helpful and fabulous breakdown of a super complex and vital topic. Thank you @byjasonpdinh!

"Interstellar Eavesdropping." As an editor, that is my proud contribution to The Internet this week. Except, it's probably not SEO friendly enough to be of value. Hence, I'm leaving it here. 🛸 discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/n…

Stop talking about the risks of AI. Start talking about the risks of AI companies.

Don’t ever forget: #AI didn’t come for your jobs, and also toss your sense of what is real, PEOPLE did that. People consumed with greed, who worship money and will pursue financial gain at the expense of everything else. People.

"Although Dr. Bronner’s has gained widespread popularity [+ annual of $170M], the company — legally registered as All-One God Faith Inc. — is no conventional corporate giant. One of its core “cosmic principles,” it says, is to “fund and fight for what’s right!”

Dr. Bronner’s soap, initially rooted in counterculture and relegated to the shelves of health food stores, is now sold at major U.S. retailers and internationally in 40 countries. Here is the wild and very California backstory. latimes.com/business/story…



Lots of debate and dialog circulating about the effort to mark the start of the Anthropocene. Some interesting reflections and points in this thread, reflecting on pros and cons.

If approved, 1950 would mark the end of the Holocene in the geologic timeline, and the beginning of the Anthropocene epoch. I personally think that's the wrong idea, and here's why.



"I think you are potentially placing yourself and your clients in a dangerous dynamic," he wrote to the OceanGate boss in March 2018. "In your race to Titanic you are mirroring that famous catch cry: 'She is unsinkable'".

"The Big Three automakers are facing pressure to keep EV costs down amid inflation, materials scarcity, and increasing competition from international automakers... [Plus] workers for other preeminent players in the nascent industry — Tesla and Rivian — aren’t unionized"

The kind of story that we founded @Heatmap_News to cover: The UAW contract with the Big Three is up on September 14. What could follow is a battle royale over who benefits from the EV revolution. heatmap.news/electric-vehic…
