My buddy @timmarchman.bsky.social helps lead the @wired.com team breaking DOGE news. He told me how reporting on tech companies was good prep for this government takeover, and why Musk’s tactics would make more sense at "a small startup that made apps to use AI with your blender." @thebulletin.org

Was truly delighted to edit this piece about climate changes impacting the springs that provide Rome (Regina Aquarum, or the “queen of the waters”) with fresh water, and how careless management and poor water conservation threaten their future: thebulletin.org/2024/11/when...

The next meeting in New York of the TPNW nuclear ban treaty is in 438 days… It can take 664 days to get US visas in Nigeria, the largest state party to the treaty… Do the math. Or read @olamidediy.bsky.social @bulletinatomic.bsky.social on the glaring inequities keeping key disarmament voices out.
