I took the Minister and her aids on a Cambridge stroll to take the iconic picture, and we had a great time while at it.

The next Cambridge Disinformation Summit will be held 23 through 25 March 2027 at the University of Cambridge. Next year's Summit will focus on incentives and power infrastructures that support malign cognitive influence and disinformation campaigns. www.jbs.cam.ac.uk\disinfo-2027

Post-conference chill

Thank you very much @jagolinzer.bsky.social for supporting our work at Cambridge Sustainability Policy Lab and for your invaluable contribution to our keynote conversation today.

A first glance of what you can expect from our Forum -- delighted to welcome Aly Rahim from the World Bank to our community. Registration: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cambridge-... www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1Ui...

If we're going to do it in Cambridge, we might as well go full-on Cambridge

Daisy season Thank the lord I can just step outside to this view to clear my head

What do intelligent mice, fast swimming, and a virus have in common? A cruise ship headed to the Canary Islands, apparently. Mónica García Gómez, the Spanish Minister of Health, will talk to us about a rare success story in managing a global crisis in her conversation with @jagolinzer.bsky.social 🧵

Every now and then I'm reminded of what a remarkable writer Hannah Arendt was. It should be mandatory reading everywhere.

I dream of a mini-vacay when I can sleep surrounded by puffiness and binge-watch all the seasons of Fargo, and then sleep some more, only interrupted by purrs and kisses to puffy foreheads. When will that happen? I do not know.

Good times www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

The boys are all grown-up now, but they still seek mommy's love, of course

My cats are impressively manipulative. They learned that miawing doesn't work anymore, cause I definitely spoiled them too much as babies, so they can miaw all they want, but now they climb up to my face, start purring loud & fast, give me kisses & cuddles... I'm not made of stone...

Some places will really be like, we don't want those pesky foreigners, especially if they're African and Arab, to have substantive conversations & remind us that we genocided them constantly. We will however take their money and tokenize them in every display we can. Time's up...

I've got a sinking feeling that it's all going downhill rapidly. It's the young people, their brains are fried; they are most certainly not okay.

Being born in unearned privilege in the West has fostered a type of professional mediocrity that's astounding to the rest of us. It doesn't matter that you're bad at your job & do the bare minimum, you'll do just fine,while exceptional workers in other countries have to struggle & compete constantly

I see a shocking drop in quality of service across the board in working with people. They're forgetful, unprofessional in communication and just completely distracted. Make no mistake, screen time overall and social media are to blame.

I'm sorry I can't reply to your email right now I'm busy holding Rocky's little cute paws

If this doesn't kill twitter, I don't know what will... I'm not paying a single dime to keep posting there. My cats are too cute for X anyway.

Hello 👋

A call for collaboration: I'm soft-launching the start of a new study that I'm particularly excited about, "The spanish method: countering disinformation -- a case study on crisis communication and mitigating societal polarization”, researched and produced by our policy lab.

<US has now demonstrated not only that it cannot, but that it can't be really trusted to make sound strategic judgments. So I think even the countries of the Gulf which have been dependent on the United States are going to have to look elsewhere.> www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

We are family

Today I think abt a dear friend & her sister who lost their mom, recently. Their mom was a defining figure of my time at Lehigh. I'm still processing it, in a way that doesn't allow me to look back much, not to invite pain just yet. Much love to Alexis & Becca. www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

We will livestream our talk on Tech CEO Culture, featuring @karaswisher.bsky.social, podcaster, journalist, and author of Burn Book. Saturday 9 May 2026, 3:30-5:00 PM BST. Hosted with @mctd.bsky.social and @jbs.cam.ac.uk. www.youtube.com/live/r6LCAUC...

When Ukraine fights for its freedom, it fights for us all!

Can someone explain to me why event badges always, ALWAYS face backward??? It's the mystery of my life spent conferencing. Anyway, Luminita Odobescu is badass and this event was awesome. Love to see power women reuniting and powering thru it all 💪

One of those first-ever gatherings that will be talked about for a long time, these were possibly my favorite sessions at the GPM: hearing Maria Ressa talk about the horror of normalizing murdering with impunity journalists and human rights protesters in several places across the world...

The many times that I could have chosen to live in this city and I just... did not... was I right, was I wrong?! I guess we'll never know...

Fantastic session and @mariaressa.bsky.social , ever the consummate journalist, documenting it all 📸🤳

The American delegation is in the house once again 🤙

What a day, fascinating stuff, back to back

A surprise guest, the one and only Tim Walz

I was honored to give the virtual keynote for the Cambridge Disinformation Summit last week. Alan Jagolinzer of the Cambridge Judge Business School, who chaired the summit, said, "I see disinformation as preparing the landscape for corruption." www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6yI...

I'm truly delighted to participate in the first ever Global Progressive Mobilisation, at a time when action towards a sustainable human development around the world is at its most urgent. I look forward to reuniting with colleagues in BCN. @psoe-cef.bsky.social www.globalprogressivemobilisation.org

Don't ask me why, I call my cats crocodiles and they seem to love it, they respond when asked 'how are my crocodiles doing today?'... They sure bite like crocs, you should see them bite the head off garden snakes (or vipers) and catch birds and poor little bats mid-air...

Electric blankets = one of the best inventions ever, as per the experts

<As a major supplier of both the Russian and Ukrainian defense sectors, China is especially positioned to suck up information from both sides of the front line.> www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

In the normal informational fog of war environment, I see a distinct narrative starting to emerge. It has all the hallmarks and elements of a disinformation campaign, a proper one. Just like in past scenarios, it's well crafted, and it casts the blame on the GCC for this war.

<A U.S. official says that Hegseth & DOGE cuts reduced the Pentagon's office dedicated to preventing civilian casualties by 90% & by two-thirds at the military's Middle East Regional Command... Then you have a de-emphasis on the prioritization of protection of civilians.> www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Opened my investor app: the overwhelming majority is in red. The only ones up: Chevron, video games, McDonald's. Good times ahead. Also, if you're not too risk averse and hedge properly, a good time to buy. Oh and Palantir is thriving, of course.

This is my work chair. Obviously, they're my quality control officers, making sure my work is top notch 👌

Sometimes I just have to feel grateful for things, just the way they are, not to anger and provoke the Gods...

Ethics shouldn't be a matter of reward. We can rationalize any outrageous behavior, as long as we have an incentive to do so. This is why the system as a whole needs to be dismantled and reimagined, globally, starting with micro-decisions and ending with macro-structures.

The definition of mama's boy... They all take turns to sit on me or around me, but this baby simply refuses to sleep anywhere else. I'm certain that my work is better because I do it while holding his fat cat butt.

What a find... the year of our lord 2004, the beginning of my global career, thanks to Lee Iacocca's program for future leaders
