Ed Zitron warns that hyperscalers' AI-driven borrowing, rising memory costs, and speculative valuations risk a broad tech-sector collapse — possibly a 'tech Great Depression.'

A documentary investigating fringe and published physics claims that CERN's LHC might have produced retrocausal effects, closed timelike curves, missing collision data, and links to the Mandela Effect — and what the LHC/

Rising CO2 is changing ocean chemistry — harming corals, shellfish and coastal livelihoods — and requires emissions cuts plus large-scale mitigation to slow damage.

An energy engineer debunks rapid AI job‑replacement claims by quantifying the power, cooling, turbine lead times, and grid constraints that make those timelines implausible.
