Remember when Trump (who has bombed 7 countries, invaded 1, and is threatening at least two others (not counting Mexico)) was to be the anti-NeoCon president? I respect the anti-NeoCons. But hey, Trump-supporting-anti-NeoCons: Do you respect yourself? @TulsiGabbard

Wow. #JustWow buff.ly/JD8FyNs

Brilliant remix of the Battle Hymn of the Republic by the extraordinary Marsh Family. Favorite line: "He is drumming out the glory of a land once free and brave..." buff.ly/mq0vSeg

What if technology didn’t feel so… hollow? Some friends and I just released a manifesto about a world where tech leaves us feeling nourished (along with an evolving list of theses about how we can build it) resonantcomputing.org

The Chief Justice was right. #POTUS #OBLIVIOUSNESS

Harvard's 2020/21 reports on Epstein were Hamlet without the Prince (Summers). We need to understand why: www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

From the Department of Tragic Irony: On the day the Harvard Law School releases a digital archive of the Nuremberg Trials, the President threatens the lives of members of Congress who utter its most basic truth: That everyone, especially soldiers, must follow the law. nuremberg.law.harvard.edu

I've published the fourth episode of the podcast reviewing the Francesca Gino case (Harvard Business School professor removed for academic misconduct). This is the first of four to review the evidence behind the four findings of misconduct.

Ten years ago today, I ended my effort to get corruption at the center of the Democratic presidential debate. Flawed and impossible in many ways, it was right. Then, and even more so now. buff.ly/uRCpMDj

Trump is right. The filibuster should go. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGiu...

I'm going to make this even easier for @jay.bsky.team - I'm willing to be a PR person at a very reasonable rate. I've worked in tech marketing for 10 years and was a software engineer for another 10. I've run the social media & tech side of a $11M campaign for Larry Lessig. I'm qualified. DM me.

Hey, the future. There were a few. Too few, but some.

Colorado AG Phil Weiser has filed suit against Trump for moving Space Force b/c Colorado has mail-in voting. My favorite line in the complaint: "Trump’s statements and beliefs on mail-in voting are simply untethered from the facts." Let this become the refrain everywhere. buff.ly/BxyhZbU

Wow. Talk about handing your opponent a megaphone. youtu.be/EPlDZajxr3Y?...

Re health care costs: "These are insane numbers." Two ways to think about this story. One: the "insane numbers." The other: that 1/2 of America has no clue about these facts, because of the bubbles we've allowed media to become. THAT is the insanity.

A former GOP official has privately financed the purchase of the second-largest voting technology vendor in America? What could possibly go wrong... Here's what could go right: We urgently need a demand by election officials for open-source voting technology.

This takes courage. Courage has always been costly. buff.ly/K5gi48o

This is the most important political speech IN a generation FOR this generation. Let it begin the fight back.

"It is unAmerican" — unless we just give in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCpT...

Yes, let's spend American wealth to prop up yet another right-wing fantasist.

We are a nation of cowards. Where are all the free speech warriors who were going to start a revolution because Twitter was throttling Hunter's d*ck pics? buff.ly/0xkjHt8

The ghost of a (much dumber) Nixon returns. Criticize the President, suffer an FBI search at your home. buff.ly/ScN6SAC

Super-interesting essay by one of my favorite legal historians about the 1872 story of a child born to enemy alien parents deemed a US citizen, even though the child left the US almost immediately. #ImagineIfOriginalismAppliedConsistently.

After repeatedly failing to render a cartoon correctly, ChatGPT offered this advice. Got to admire the honesty (also, saves server cycles).

This is not difficult. EVERY Democrat in the 117th Congress voted for a bill that would have ended partisan gerrymandering, and EVERY Republican voted against it. The GOP didn't want to disarm; this is the consequence of their decision. youtube.com/shorts/-8QgG...

And thus does the end begin? AI companies need to commit firmly not to permit truth to be bought. "Joe's Tavern seems to be the most liked restaurant in Anytown" should not be a function of whether Joe's Tavern pays an LLM. buff.ly/1Dvw59h
