“The collapse of the AI bubble is going to be ugly…AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector & tech monopolists run amok.“
Read this article by @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy. Whether you agree with it all or not, it’s important.
Trump demanding control of Greenland—which the US already has access to—is based on multi-layered lies. Threatening NATO allies to get it undermines the Western alliance.
I did a point-by-point breakdown of Trump's aggressive letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Støre about the Nobel and Greenland.
You really couldn’t ask for a nicer guy
Greenland could be the moment when EU becomes a geo-economic superpower. It has long had the economic might but lacked the political will. Today’s leaders meeting will be decisive.
Je suis triste de voir la fondation Wikimédia pousser à collaborer avec les enterprises AI qui l'ont déjà cannibalisée
En même temps, la fondation va bénéficier de l'usage de leurs ressources (et peut-être les autres sites web peuvent suivre cet exemple)
The French Army just announced that it will be part of the military force that goes to Greenland
Germany is also part of it, on top of Sweden
If the US invades Greenland, it means that two NATO nuclear powers will be fighting against each other
Simultaneously as 🇩🇰 delegation talks 🇬🇱 in Washington D.C., a 🇺🇸 P-8 Poseidon from Keflavik 🇮🇸 flies all Nordic mission, contributing to NATO’s most important task: keeping an eye on and deterring 🇷🇺 in northern Europe.
Omg they’re *so* close to correctly identifying systemic vs random violence
How is 🇬🇧 challenging 🇷🇺 aggression in the Wider North?

“…[T]he ship was seized by special forces police and the coast guard from helicopters. Finland’s President… said that ‘Finland was prepared for security challenges of various kinds.’”
The importance of a Finnish show-of-force in response to infrastructure sabotage probably can’t be overstated…
Incredibly, not one of these milestones scores as a “win” using the traffic engineering metrics that quietly dictate city planning.
Urban planning prof Jonathan Levine and I have one paper detailing why and another explaining why it has to change for any vision of abundance to succeed. Links below.

Rethinking my DMV experiences and realizing 90% of my interactions (in 3 states) have been good or very good and my only frustrations have been directly attributable to understaffing…
Not sure whether to laugh or cry at the student in this coffee shop using ChatGPT to summarize and write a reflection on a reading titled “Individuality”

Different capacity for harm = different obligations
The assumption that pedestrians don’t “do their part” (when being aware of vehicles is the difference between life and death) is mind-boggling. Pedestrians can’t afford to be careless and therefore seldom are, but EVEN SO a hypothetical careless pedestrian generally endangers only their own life!

I’m not sure what makes me happier — football visualized via clustering analysis or the fact that Michigan is in the middle of the playoff cluster.
It’s something that Scotland is exploring, especially given how much cheaper continental crossings are! It feels bizarre coming from an American context, but the requirement for drivers to even give way at junctions was only implemented in 2022…
