New from @nytimes: an early Israeli strike in the Iran war was meant to free Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from house arrest to install him as leader.
Honored that #UbiquitybyFilterLabs analysis of Iranian online had the opportunity to contribute to the reporting!

Collecting hyper-local online data reveals narratives a broad view can miss. Our data from Iran shows unity doesn’t always equal support for the Supreme Leader. Jonathan Teubner, the CEO of @FilterLabs, shared more with @KeirSimmons on @NBCNews

What makes data good?
@PRBdata CEO Dr. @JenniferSciubba says it's all about:
✔️ Trust
✔️ Understanding
If it’s confusing or unreliable, it’s useless.
Clear, credible data drives better decisions.

America’s life expectancy was falling before Covid.
That’s not normal.
It’s a signal that something deeper is broken.
This isn’t just about health, it’s about the quiet failure of entire systems.

If your media brand vanished today…
Would anyone notice?
AI tools are now more essential to people’s lives than most media brands.
Why?
They’re useful, relevant, and integrated into daily life.
Can you say the same about your content?
Still think media bias isn't real?
One media CEO built bias flags into their CMS.
It checks who’s quoted, how balanced a story is, and even prompts AI to suggest what perspectives are missing.
Not censorship. Just reflection.

"Media is dead" is lazy thinking.
AI relies on real journalism. No model can investigate, break stories, or show editorial judgment.
Platforms don’t replace the press. They only amplify what humans create.
Without media, AI collapses.
Some tech companies aren’t waiting to be caught in geopolitical crossfire… they’re designing their businesses around it.
As Ansgar Baums explains, a new generation of firms is using national security as a wedge.
Palantir is leading the charge, but it’s not alone. Across the U.S. and Europe, startups are pitching themselves as essential to defense and state resilience (and thriving because of it).
The era of building for global scale is giving way to segmenting for strategic advantage.
How does Germany position itself in a new great power competition?
Ansgar Baums advises governments and multinational companies on how to survive geopolitical disruption, and he says Germany is going through a full-blown worldview crisis.
That’s why you’re seeing plant closures in Germany—and it’s not just cars. This logic is coming for every global industry.
China’s not just a market. It’s becoming the center of gravity.

You want to understand the global economy?
Watch where the profits stay.
Ansgar Baums broke it down like this: German automakers are reinvesting every euro they make in China… back into China. They can’t afford to subsidize factories in Europe anymore.
