By all means, try to watch this. Attenborough at 99 is so on it you have to give it up for him.

Depressing, then inspiring and optimistic. We CAN save the oceans and hence our planet.

People vs. Big Tech
His name is Simon Kjaer. He is an international Danish footballer and Milan player.
He is not a global star, he does not have gold shoes and huge personal following, nor is he one of the most expensive players in the world.
But `he went into the history of the sport, as a modern super hero. First he saved his teammate, Chris Eriksen, who fell unconscious on the field, giving him first aid in critical first seconds..
He then asked his teammates to form a ′′ shield ′′ of protection around his fallen co-worker to protect him from flash cameras and shocking highlights trending across social media.
As a captain and friend he took the time to go to the stand and give courage to the wife of the unfortunate Eriksen, who was shocked to see the husband and father of her two children, fighting for his life, As captured in the photo below.
Dear parent, starting today, don't pray for your son or daughter to be a young Messi or Ronaldo. Please become a Simon Kjaer !

High Seas Treaty gains momentum as 18 new countries ratify

A wave of new ratifications during the U.N. Ocean Conference in France has brought the High Seas Treaty closer to the 60-country threshold needed for it to enter into force. The treaty would, for the first time, allow nations to create marine protected areas in international waters. Advocates say it’s critical to tackling the biodiversity and climate crises and to achieving global conservation targets. Once ratified by 60 countries, a 120-day countdown begins, followed by a conference where implementation rules will be set and only those who ratify early will have a vote.

Dr. Melfi saw it years ago!
It's been a year since they did this. I got it after I left all Meta platforms for good. I still get an email from Meta once in a while, saying it's been a while. 🤣

What's the difference between AI and a tribute band? Both use material created by someone else.

CCC is the difference. Music played by a tribute band (in theory):
Consent to record or perform (in theory)
Credit (automatic)
Compensation: composer and publisher royalties, mechanical license
