Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...

"There's a few thousand protesting around the country against Trump & Musk... while there's hundreds of thousands in the streets in Munich protesting a *potential* government. Where is your heart and spirit, Americans? You always talk about what it means to be American, go and fucking be American."

“It is not the case that America is retreating into splendid isolationism. No, we are still taking sides in world affairs. But now we are holding hands with the Russians and the Chinese and opposing the countries to which we have long-standing treaty obligations.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

....It's over. We've crossed into the point of civilization where fake content can be generated by anyone with a PC and it is, for general purposes, indistinguishable from real content by a reasonable observer.

A week ago, Trump fired every member of the Aviation Safety Committee. Stephanie Bernstein, now former member of the committee: “I naively thought, ‘oh they’re not going to do anything in the new administration to put aviation security at risk.’ But I’m not so sure.”

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵 In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians. We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties. with @julianachueri.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/1940...

This is by far the most wonderful story I've read all week. I'll be linking to it in tomorrow's newsletter. I haven't seen it get too much attention so I'm sharing it here as well. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

PSA: An account named @no-more-bots.bsky.social has created an alleged blocklist of "BOTS" that cleverly has several real people who post about spam and social media manipulation mixed in as well. I have reported both the list and the account.

Exactly two years ago, Oleksandr Matsievskyi was killed by Russian forces. He was taken captive near Bakhmut, unarmed but was shot dead after he spoke the words Slava Ukraini (Glory to Ukraine). Matsievskyi has become a symbol of resistance for the Ukrainian people.

Huh

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer. It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health. Warning signs are everywhere.

Libraries have faced unprecedented attacks this year. Despite these challenges, the Internet Archive is more committed than ever to fighting for access to public information for all those who seek it. Help us in the fight: archive.org/donate/?orig...

Singapore public housing is pretty nice.

Good morning everyone 😊

Oh no. I’m having another round of City Pop hyper fixation.

This explains so much about the US election outcome. Warning: hour long video (do at least check out the 15 minutes from around 33:00 onwards.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC-V...

My ONLY quibble with Carl on this is that, yeah a lot of us noticed but we were treated like Cassandra

[Reproducing my most viral post] When discussing Universal Basic Income, inevitably the retort comes: "So you just want people to not have to work, is that it?" Accompanied by a smug smirk, expecting me to backpedal and hem and haw, say "Of course not, that's silly." Except...yes. Yes, I do. 1/11

What can I say but Holy Haleakala!

Please read this book. It will crack the code. All the pieces will fall into place. It’s truly a very different take. I’ve been studying this way of looking at our human journey for almost 20 years. It is a game changer.

NFL stats nerd getting it better than every political pundit reading the polling entrails for meaning.

Yep, looks like the good ol' USA is really gonna elect Trump (and the GOP) again. Good luck to America, and to all of us worldwide who relied on a rules-based international order backed by US diplomacy and alliances. Cause that's going away.

Feynman was many things, but "hero" shouldn't be one of them.
