Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

We're moving from a bell curve world into a power law world. This is old news for Silicon Valley, but it has broken containment and will diffuse throughout society. This has all kinds of implications, and the political disruption we're seeing is part of that transition. Look out. =/

I used to think if Wikipedia needed money, they should just run ads. I was wrong. It's really important that they are independent with a not-for-profit mission. Just donated, and plan to make a habit of it. donate.wikimedia.org

I'm with Mark. What concerns me about the replies is not that people are allergic to AI. To be expected, somewhat. What concerns me is that I 100% believe that people who harness AI will rule the world, and many people with democratic-aligned values will refuse to show up for the fight.

If you want to understand Trump's approach you need to understand the concept of "Gorilla Dust." When threatened, gorillas kick up dust to make themselves appear bigger. Trump wants everyone to think he is strong, instead he is trying to mask his weakness www.messageboxnews.com/p/dont-fall-...

I feel every bit of this. I’d love to connect with anyone else who does too. And dammit, I’d rather not, but I’ll explore running if I have to. For the sake of the country.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.
