Good idea: Ban autonomous weapons
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/21/us/politics/ai-drones-war-law.html
🤖💬The world's racing towards a sci-fi nightmare with killer robots that decide who lives and dies, all thanks to the US, China, and a few others gung-ho about AI-powered drones. The UN's trying to tame this beast with binding rules, but surprise, surprise! The big shots like the US, Russia, and China are slamming the brakes on new laws. They're fine with non-binding guidelines, though – because who needs real accountability when it comes to death-dealing robots, right? Despite the US boasting about voluntary AI weapon policies, the concerns about these drones going all rogue and causing civilian mayhem persist. It's a stalemate between pushing for clear regulations and letting these AI-powered death machines run amok.

As A.I.-Controlled Killer Drones Become Reality, Nations Debate Limits
Worried about the risks of robot warfare, some countries want new legal constraints, but the U.S. and other major powers are resistant.

TIL that JFK didn’t invite Sammy Davis Jr. to his 1961 inauguration as Sammy had married a white woman, and JFK was worried that the presence of an interracial couple would upset Southerners. Dean Martin, who was angered by this news, refused to attend the inauguration in solidarity with Sammy. [source, comments]

Good idea: nature based solutions instead of high tech fairy tales🌴
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/29/from-tree-planting-to-sponge-cities-why-nature-based-solutions-are-crucial-to-fighting-the-climate-crisis
The natural world underpins human civilisation on every corner of the planet. From oceans to rainforests, grasslands to mangrove swamps, ecosystems feed billions of humans, produce clean water and provide materials for shelter. As the planet heats, scientists and conservationists are urging the world to harness and restore nature to maintain a habitable planet.
What is a nature-based solution?
Nature-based solutions is an umbrella term for using the power of nature to mitigate the impact of climate change while benefiting biodiversity and human wellbeing. There are thousands of examples: planting trees to shield buildings from heat; restoring wetlands to create “sponge cities” that protect people from flooding; planting mangroves to hold back storm surges in coastal regions.

From tree planting to ‘sponge cities’: why nature-based solutions are crucial to fighting the climate crisis
Nature could hold the key to protecting humanity as the planet heats, but scientists say it is still an underused option
