I was largely unaware of the environmental impact of AI for a while. If you are in the same boat that I was in, this article is well worth a read. As everyone seems to be praising the forward progress of AI, more of us need to be asking, "At what cost?" nature.com/articles/s4225…

Public education is how we build a better Kentucky, but we can't get there if our school funding is given to private corporations. Public dollars are for public schools. Period.

Concerned Parent in North Texas PLOWS into Tractor Supply’s hidden WOKE agenda.

It is clinically proven that social media is impacting our brains, and not in a positive manner. Adults barely understand the dopamine response our brains have, so we must learn as much as we can & have those sometimes difficult conversations with the young people we care about.
