Republican Accountability PAC to Invest $50M to Defeat Trump

Is the GOP on the verge of collapse? I doubt it, but there are obvious signs of decay, including the fact that a substantial chunk of Republican primary and caucus voters told pollsters that they would be so dissatisfied if Donald Trump became the party’s presidential nominee—and it looks like he will—that they would not […]

Apple Answers To Mother Nature

The company mines precious metals to use in its products and creates a non-renewable waste stream from these same products, and runs massive data centers that suck electricity all day every day, nevertheless, Apple is aligned with Mother Nature.

A Big Idea: “Non-Mineable Land” Inside of Minecraft

Minecraft is the best-selling game in the world. The game teaches players, primarily children, to mine and build whole worlds out of raw materials.

Bias Against Aging People, Like All Bias, Is Idiotic and Unproductive

The truly odd thing about ageism is how every single living creature on this planet is aging. We’re all aging right now, as we do each and every moment of our lives. Ultimately, this means our bias against aging people is discrimination against the self, and that ageism is a brutal form of self-hatred. As […]

In A New Kia Sportage, You’ll Have the Power to Make More Good

Buying a new vehicle is a big financial decision. People shopping for cars weigh the monthly outlay expected of them, the insurance costs, gas and maintenance costs, and how much the dealer is going to make on the purchase.

How Much Do You Really Know About Monosodium Glutamate?

Americans pour mountains of salt onto their food. We also reflexively say, “No, thank you,” to Monosodium Glutamate, which could lower one’s salt intake. We’ve been saying no to MSG for decades, but why? According to one of MSG’s leading manufacturers—Ajinomoto—MSG’s bad reputation is both undeserved and rooted in racism. In the 1960s, a wave […]

No Slavery. No Exceptions.

S L A V E R Y. The very word sends chills. Along with genocide, slavery is one of two original sins and a bloody stain on the history of the United States. There are “hear no evil” people who do not want to hear about it, and people who can’t see how it matters […]

Civil Lawsuits Start to Penetrate the Gun Lobby’s Legal Armor

Despite appearances to the contrary, American gun makers and sellers are not untouchable, unreachable, or above and beyond the law. Typically, when legislators fail to act to protect people, the makers of dangerous products and perpetrators of dangerous industry practices are held in check by the threat of civil litigation. But this principle does not apply […]
