UDEMY Crash Course: Build a Full-Stack Web App in a Weekend!
web design
Instructor: Jonas Schmedtmann
A quick, fun, and hands-on introduction to web development.
Build a complete app with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React!
If you are anything like me, you might find it takes a bit longer than a weekend (and you can always change the design to suit your own purpose after you finish the course as I am doing here).
Note: This course was the basis for the new landing page for Dog-Eat-Dog Enterprises! For better or worse, I have taken the "half a loaf is better than none" approach. Over time, the user interface [UX] will come to life; for now, you have an idea of what it will look like when complete. You can always click the button at top right to return to the previous user interface. (Link)

The AIR You're Breathing Is Slowly Destroying You — Feynman's Warning
science
Physics with Feynman - 02/25/2026 [27:50]
You breathe about 20,000 times a day. Each breath pulls in a molecule that caused Earth's first mass extinction 2.4 billion years ago - and right now, it's silently corroding your DNA, your proteins, and your mitochondria from the inside out. What if the "breath of life" is also the slow engine of death? (Source) -

Bernie vs. Claude

Senator Bernie Sanders - 03/19/2026 [9:17]
I spoke to Anthropic's AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights.
What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up. (Link) -
Congress Isn't Ready for AI

Senator Bernie Sanders | Shane Smith Has Questions
VICE News - 03/09/2026 [38:34]
Shane Smith sits down with Senator Bernie Sanders for a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of America's biggest crisis artificial intelligence. Bernie warns that a handful of the world's wealthiest men are quietly engineering the most consequential revolution in human history, one that could wipe out millions of jobs overnight and leave ordinary Americans with nothing but unanswered questions. Driverless trucks, automated warehouses, AI lawyers and accountants the future is arriving fast, and Congress isn't even having the conversation.
Bernie then unloads on the billionaire class fueling this transformation exposing how wealth and power have never been more dangerously concentrated, how money has corrupted American democracy from Citizens United to Elon Musk's $290 million in campaign spending, and why a federal wealth tax may be the last line of defense for working people. This is Bernie Sanders unfiltered and he's sounding the alarm.
I went to Silicon Valley to ask some of the leading AI experts that question.
Here's what they had to say: (Link) -
We need a moratorium on AI data centers NOW. Here's why.

If so, is humanity in danger?

The threats from AI are real
ai
Senator Bernie Sanders - 12/02/2025 [15:02]
The threats from unchecked AI are real - worker displacement, corporate surveillance, invasion of privacy, environmental destruction, unmanned warfare.
Today, a tiny number of billionaires are shaping the future of AI behind closed doors. That is unacceptable. That must change. (Link) -
It's Time for a Moratorium on Data Centers
ai
Senator Bernie Sanders - 12/15/2025 [4:12]
I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.
The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%. (Link)
