We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists. W/ @texastribune.org @cazadoresdefakenews.info, Alianza Rebelde Investiga

China may outspend the U.S. on R&D by >30% by 2030 📈 www.rdworldonline.com/china-could-... Meanwhile Trump’s budget slashes NSF by 56%, NIST 40%, EPA 55%, CDC by 33%, NASA 24.3%, NOAA 25%, USGS 38.6% 😵 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

All net new job creation in the US is from new businesses (5 years old or less). In Michigan, our past is strangling our future speakerdeck.com/dugsong/impa...

Timothy Snyder (who has been consistently amazing throughout this crisis!) has written a very important article preparing people’s minds for what I fear is near-inevitable: a US equivalent to the Reichstag fire.

You can catch @dugsong.com talking about the security industry, building companies and shaping cultures on the latest episode of “Inside the Network” - insidethenetwork.co/episodes/dug... Dug is always considered and always worth listening to..

The future of American opera is in #Detroit! Yuval Sharon’s wild reimagining of Mozart’s “Cosi fan tutte” as BigTech AI dystopia just premiered - thx to Barb Walkowski for securing him for Detroit Opera! www.nytimes.com/2022/07/07/m...

Another keynote at #Michigan Ross, this time for the student-run Midwest Ventures Conference. The kids are alright, and so is the entrepreneurial future of b-school!

Fact-check of Trump’s tariff speech finds some doozies. Why tariffs? Speech suggests they could replace income tax, benefiting wealthy over lower income Americans. When a choice makes no apparent sense, it’s usually about $$$.

An incredible conversation with @jeffiel.bsky.social & @karaswisher.bsky.social today, and dinner with founders from #AnnArbor to #Detroit tonight! Great to have Jeff back in Mich-again!!! ❤️

Some data worth pondering as the conversation shifts to "reciprocal" tariffs.

Ann Arbor was meant to grow. We just didn’t follow through. In the 1970s, city planners envisioned 150K residents in a compact, connected city. Instead, we built zoning walls around downtown and called it progress. Part 4 of my “Density is Fun” series. #a2council thewychefamily.com/density-is-f...

In 1967, “The Innovation Millionaires” called out Ann Arbor, Boulder, LA, Phoenix, and Ft. Lauderdale as likely tech hubs after Boston-Cambridge & Santa Clara County (only one mention of “Silicon Valley”) - but A2 has been by far the laggard

#Solarpunk dreams of planetary abundance - but can we govern our way to it? 🤔🌎🌳 @nicolasberggruen.bsky.social @ezraklein.bsky.social

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

So much love at tonight’s #a2skatepark art show! Stoked to snag the Margaret Kilgallen tribute deck, but snaked by @ccassell.bsky.social on the printmaker’s woodcut!!

Mark Pauline’s Survival Research Labs (SRL) was total GWAR + Battlebots + Kaiju chaos in the 80s/90s, blowing minds, eardrums, phalanges. Will future resistance / #Michigan militias go full Mad Max? youtu.be/QuRKYUBoD9I?...

Annual #a2skatepark art show tonight at the Circ Bar! Support your local skatepark 🤙

Deeply moved by Tarek Albaba’s film on the #hatecrime killing of 3 Muslim students in #ChapelHill. Watching it in #Dearborn (home to the largest Arab American community) on the Int’l Day to Combat #Islamophobia (6 years after #Christchurch) is a powerful reminder: We must stand together against hate

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

My (uncensored) album from the 25th anniversary of the National Cryptologic Museum. Thank you to all those who served in silence. photos.app.goo.gl/4YSPCJjSG54A...

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.
