You know how in every movie set during WWII there’s a scene where Nazis are checking papers on the trains? That is the USA as of today

Armed federal immigration officers in tactical gear moved through terminals at some of the busiest U.S. airports Monday, standing near security lines and checkpoints after President Donald Trump ordered their deployment during a partial government shutdown that has disrupted air travel nationwide. The officers have not screened passengers so far. The Trump administration said they would supplement Transportation Security Administration staffing at certain airports but provided few details about exactly what they would be doing. After intensified immigration enforcement and protests in cities across the country over the past year, their presence has unsettled some travelers and raised new questions.

Most of Europe’s original natural #forests have been transformed for agriculture and managed forests producing energy, paper and timber.
The few remaining “old-growth” natural forests are relics of the past that illustrate how forests would have looked in the absence of human management.
Most Swedish forests are so-called #boreal forests.
This type of coniferous woodland #ecosystem encompasses most of the northern regions of the planet.
After mapping and measuring the most natural old-growth forests in Sweden, scientists found that they differ much more from managed forests than previously thought, even if some of those managed forests looked old.
Old-growth forests store 78-89% more #carbon than managed forests do, a difference in carbon storage larger than Sweden’s cumulative emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels since 1834.
These new results underscores the much larger carbon storage benefits that flow from protecting forests than using them to produce bioenergy and wood products.

Buzzfeed's shares go from $15 to 70 cents, now approaching bankruptcy, seemingly as a result of going all-in on 'AI' generated content.
This emerging pattern does not speak to a wicked problem. Rather, it should be no surprise that people don't want to read machine-generated content that outwardly pretends to come from a person. Because it is innately &intrinsically deceptive, which people do not like, so ending trust that will be very hard to win back. If at all
