I believe this is a good thing. We need more real, people to people, connections. Not more virtual ones. With the advent of AI, already luring us away from real connections with a scary efficiency, this Metaverse death is a small relief but a relief nonetheless.

People want safety, affordable renewable energy, clean water, and peace.

Yet across the world, Trump is spreading chaos with an agenda of war, threats, punitive tariffs, and hate.
