How much does the EPA care about environmental protection?
Well, to be specific: [REDACTED]

So with evidence mounting that AI will just make things up rather than admit it doesn't know, I think it's safe to use male pronouns.

Does the vastness of space fill you with existential...thread? 🧵

"The Tragedy of the Commons" was written by a eugenicist and was effectively debunked as ahistorical fantasy decades ago. More propaganda in the service of privatizing public space and resources. Pass it on. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/voices/the-tragedy-of-the-tragedy-of-the-commons/
