Amazon has joined the slew of companies rolling back its DEI efforts in apparent celebration of Donald Trump’s “anti-woke” agenda. The changes specifically target LGBTQ+ people, with the section on LGBTQ+ rights being completely removed from its Positions page.

The AI probably saw that massive boner in her pants and got confused.

Damn, telling the mother their baby died, then selling it... that's cold.

IMO any chain-smoker who attempts a marathon should be given a head start. Like a golf handicap.

Maintaining the readiness of your military is not "warmongering". Warmongering is encouragement or advocacy of aggression towards other countries.

Great to see an article that goes beyond the usual techno-fixes although the focus on individual behaviour is disappointing as others already noted.

I see capitalism, current behavior and culture as different aspects of the same thing. We can't address the climate crisis by tackling just one of those we need to do all of them and we need to do it yesterday. If we seek to make changes in only one area the pushback from the other two will stop it.

Obviously that isn't going to happen, given the political systems humanity has. There is no mechanism for globally coordinated action as a species, especially of the kind that socially engineers new values. The UN is not up to the task.

All we can do is reduce the damage of what is to come.

"What do you have to lose?"

Umm. Their lives, apparently? Such an irresponsible statement.
