I never know exactly what to think about the subset of citizens who are overreacting to climate change in the context of governments underreacting so badly.
But a very interesting finding.

56% of surveyed young people said "humanity was doomed" due to climate change.

@EricTopol @ashishkjha The paper is yet another embarrassment.
It is advocacy that pretends to be science.
It discredits everyone who tries to uphold the standards of scientific integrity.

Shit on the Bay Area all you want, but the reason why we have a thriving angel investor ecosystem is because companies give out equity and make their employees rich when they exit.
This is a huge letdown for the Atlanta startup community

It pisses me off that there's so much cool stuff in China that now might get killed by Xi Jinping's "profound transformation".

In the past 4 months, I've buried myself in creating this short doc on China's stunning underground queer ballroom scene. There's so much love and support in the community. I hope this vid brings you as much joy as it did for me: https://t.co/QzwQu3Hwxa

Even if you could turn your nation into a bunch of patriotic traditionalist he-man factory workers and soldiers by banning everything interesting or fun...why the hell would you? What kind of a world is that?
