Replace "tax" with "revolution insurance" whenever you're reading about taxes in the US, and it clarifies the stakes much better.
For example:
1) "'...the wealthiest folks...they're paying more for revolution insurance than the poorest folks. But are they paying as much in revolution insurance as they could pay to help run the country the way that we run it? And the answer to that is probably not,' said Anthony Infanti, a law professor a…

reCaptcha (which is owned and operated by Google) exists solely to data-mine people. The latest iteration forces people to install an app from Google on their mobile device.
If you run a web app or site, do not use it, for any reason. You're selling out your audience or your customers (and don't even get paid for it).
As Martin says, it's yet another attempt from Google to destroy the Internet (by controlling it).

"The White House said, in an emailed statement, “All of the president’s trade discussions are totally unrelated to the Trump Organization.” It argued that there are no ethical issues as the president’s family develops about 20 Trump-branded properties worldwide, because the president’s sons run the businesses. President Trump’s financial disclosure report, however, shows that he still personally benefits financially from most of these ventures."

I spend a lot of time being worried or angry or annoyed at the way that generative ai fervor is undermining our ecosystems (environmental, cultural, epistemic, digital, etc).
But right now I'm just feeling mournful. Seeing project after project, institution after institution run enthusiastically into a future where we boil our oceans to better insulate ourselves from one another is ... tragic. We're losing a lot right now, and we're going to have to come to terms with that.…
