1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Hi, Bluesky! Over one million people cut Disney+, which is why Disney did the right thing and brought Jimmy Kimmel back without conditions. So I ask you, which mega company are we boycotting next and why?

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Europe strikes sweeping trade pact with Indonesia

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski addressed Russia at the UN Security Council meeting:

Mr Von Trapp does tear up a Nazi flag but it's the nuns who turn out to be the real antifascists. Modern equivalent: two popes in 2025 telling Vance he's an exceptionally terrible person and wrong about almost everything?

"This deliberate redistribution of institutional attention and care reveals an ideological project informed by dangerous foreign templates – scripted by ACT, and Seymour, and staged by the PM – masquerading as fiscal prudence." sanjanah.wordpress.com/2025/06/17/i...

No #WeAre hashtag, no world leaders marching arm in arm to protest the massacre of 31 journalists in one attack. This is white supremacy in action www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

This piece argues we’re in not one, but three AI bubbles: 1. a financial bubble with inflated valuations, 2. an infrastructure bubble with overbuilt data centers, 3. a hype bubble where AI can’t meet its promises. Honestly, all three seem highly likely to me.

Incidentally, and following up some posts yesterday, can we get away from universities v manufacturing, as the assumed choice? Both, and lots more, as part of a modern mixed economy. This shouldn't need to be so difficult, stop being dragged down by the culture war. bsky.app/profile/davi...

As is now normal for products and services in the modern world, higher education is a global market overlaid onto national priorities. As is also normal, this is mostly ignored, making it an even more complex situation for anyone involved. www.ft.com/content/3f49...

Your regular reminder that a NATO country shot down a Russian jet after it violated NATO airspace for *17 seconds*. What results? Russia didn’t start WW3 Russia didn’t carry on violating Turkish airspace. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Ru...

THIS is why I get annoyed. We are three people, working out of a basement, while holding down full time jobs. It took us UNDER TWO MINUTES to sum up the framework within which the Jimmy Kimmel suspension sits, and begin the conversation *with what he actually said*. How can it be beyond BBC News?

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

It helps to understand modern politics if you understand that parts of the new right are as dedicated to overthrowing modern democratic societies as much as the communist left of old. They believe society has become corrupted. What is different is their media and business support.
