An astounding level of incompetence got us here.

Get that cash out there.

"A pandemic magnifies all existing inequalities"

Truly astounding levels of incompetence.

Terrible time for "not built here"

Nice little essay on human behavior.

This is interesting and accurate description of how people don't want Trump mad at them; I'm not sure about the historical metaphor though. It really reeks of western centric thinking.

Who is to blame? I said industrial agriculture, but there’s a larger scope to it. Capital is spearheading land grabs into the last of primary forest and smallholder-held farmland worldwide. These investments drive the deforestation and development leading to disease emergence. The functional diversity and complexity these huge tracts of land represent are being streamlined in such a way that previously boxed-in pathogens are spilling over into local livestock and human communities. In short, capital centers, places such as London, New York, and Hong Kong, should be considered our primary disease hotspots.

Creepy and effective.

The Bezos Earth Fund, which Jeff Bezos announced Monday on Instagram, will support "scientists, activists, NGOs — any effort that offers a real possibility to help preserve and protect the natural world." Not much else is known about the fund.

Looks interesting.

Oof. But also I like the emphasis on joy before things are gone forever.

That a string of incremental changes to Amazon’s seller platform may have manifested as a mysterious crisis at the sleepy United States Patent and Trademark Office, via Shenzhen, sounds, well, not exactly cyberpunk, but at least a little bit sci-fi.

Not great results but she's in it for the long haul.

Here's hoping

Plants win again!

Why not both?
