An Israeli told me that 1/8th Israelis protested EVERY WEEKEND in 2023 up until 7 October. They still have Netanyahu, though they did manage to overturn his takeover of the judiciary. So well done, but 2% << 1/8th

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Yes, but FFS why the “anytime soon” qualifier? Have computer science departments stopped teaching computer science 101 (theory, not programming,) or did the tech bros all drop out before learning omniscience is and will always be computationally intractable? #agi via @alondra.bsky.social

I’d planned to do this before I got invited to #globsec2025. Where I critiqued US events enough a retired US general warned me semi-publicly to watch out for my US passport. Whatever happens with that passport, I’ll always be American. I sincerely believe defending EU democracy defends the US too.

Now I've had a chance to read Andrea Sella's article in @chemistryworld.com on why he returned his Royal Society Faraday Medal. I recommend that you read it too. It's inspiring, though inevitably also disturbing, in these troubled times. www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/why-...

It's a real bad day for democracy: - Law enforcement forcibly removes U.S. Senator from a Cabinet member's press conference - SecDef refuses to promise to abide by court rulings - SecHome uses language of occupation and liberation to describe domestic law enforcement tasks This is coup behavior

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

Autocracy has no concern for human life. Zelenskyy asked us to think of this not only with respect to Russia or morality, but as security. He basically called for total war of economic and social exclusion against autocracy. Meanwhile #globsec2025 had to fall back from Bratislava to Prague.

Is there already a good essay / manifesto about how members of the entity formerly known as GAFAM should choose between compliance with an entity defending human rights, the ecosystem, and the rule of law (which secures their payments) or one against all those things? #AIEthics #digitalGovernance

I'm at @globsec.bsky.social where among other things I'm meant to discuss "Leverage cloud technologies, including sovereign cloud models, to support secure and autonomous digital infrastructure." It sounds like "Leverage Russian nationals, including patriots, to patrol NATO's borders." MAYBE clever…

Graham (R-S.C.) pressed on whether Putin would stop. “I don’t believe he is,” going to stop, Caine said. Hegseth said it “remains to be seen.” Graham shot back: “Well, he says he’s not. This is the ‘30s all over. It doesn’t remain to be seen.” #Ukraine #Hegseth www.politico.com/news/2025/06...
