If you absolutely knew with 100% guarantee that any houses on the coast (including like all of Manhattan) will be swept away by storms in the next 20 years, what would you do?
Whatever that is, we're not doing it.
It's... like... people don't actually believe climate change is real even when they say they do. They don't ACT like they understand it, not in a concrete way, not when it means they have to change something like where they live.

“Revolution” is defined as “radical reorganization of social relationships” which is exactly what we need for a sustainable future. But the elites, who are invested in capitalism continuing and who control the mainstream media narratives, would much rather have you imagine the end of the world than a radical reorganization of social relationships for a sustainable world — Sophie from Mars
Absolutely brilliant video.

I'm seeing authors using gen-AI to create book covers with faces that are recognizably stolen from actors.
HOW DARE YOU. Forget the fact that you should be sued for that... HOW DARE YOU steal an actor's likeness while they're on strike because the studio execs won't pay them and want to do THE SAME THING (steal their likeness with AI). You're not just violating ethics — you're a second-rate villain at that point.

@feld It's absolutely true that there are risks everywhere. But it is also true that those risks are not equally distributed. There's no "safe" place from climate change. There's only less risky.
**don't build in a 500 year floodplain (or anywhere near it)
**don't build on a marshland, wetland, on the coast, in the middle of a forest
The northeast and midwest are actually relative goldilocks zones. Anywhere that experiences both cold/heat are better prepared for both.
