🚨The first episode of All Models Are Wrong is out🚨

What the @Internetarchive founder predicted 50 years ago

I spoke with @brewster_kahle during @GETDWeb about his work on AI in the 80s, what went wrong with the web and the one time he tried to start a bank.

Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.

His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”

He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”

I used to be a fan of NS, and I even got accepted there.
Overall, I like the idea of coworking-tech spaces and similar things and ever since FarCon, I've literally been obsessed with this idea

But when NS came into my quiet home they really made everyone even quieter, and in some places forced their way in — I no longer really like them

Almost a month has gone by, and somehow almost nothing interesting, fun, or useful is happening on farcaster
Could it be any other way?

China has avoided alliances, but what the United States is doing to Iran and Palestine leaves Beijing little choice. The Dengists are losing internally and this is giving way to a whole new wave of Maoists inside the Chinese political system. They are young, (fashionable,) and they are done with trying to appease US imperialism.

Kyoto University Symposium 2026: "Geopolitics in the Time of Monsters"
Presentation 8: Sheng Zhang

Sheng Zhang examines the competing traditions shaping China’s Middle East policy, contrasting Maoist solidarity with Dengist economic priorities. Using Palestine and Iran, he explores Beijing’s political commitments, trade relationships, public opinion and diplomatic constraints. He argues that regional conflict is challenging China’s balancing strategy and strengthening Iran’s strategic importance. The discussion considers boycotts, Gulf investment, energy security, generational differences and strategic patience, asking what might push Beijing toward a clearer position as regional power shifts and tensions with Washington deepen.

NEW: House Dems "inundated" w/ calls & emails urging them not to elect Jeffries speaker

One member told @axios they got "300-400" calls in 2 days

Another said "over 500"

A third said "higher" than 500: "It's our No. 1 issue, and it's not close." https://t.co/eKtNKwFi0f

🚨Decentralization is a type of person

I spoke with @enfascination to talk about why so many online communities settle into what @ntnsndr calls “implicit feudalism, ”hierarchy" as a cheap accountability measure and wokeism as reverse dominance.
