"Venture is dead." I've heard this same prediction in every tech wave Web 1.0, crypto, and now AI. The argument is AI's capital efficiency makes VC obsolete.

I believe the opposite. AI won't just save venture; it will restore value to the entire startup economy.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Fantastic piece by @whittledaway.bsky.social on rewilding.

Nothing else represents such sheer, distilled hope at a time when that can be in very short supply, and it's our primary weapon against nature loss in highly depleted places like Ireland.
Despite the backlash in recent years (in Ireland anyway!), rewilding is now well established in academic and practical responses to the biodiversity crisis.

w'thanks to @pettorelli.bsky.social & @landethics.bsky.social for their input to this article #rewidling

This piece -- melancholy and somehow a bit listless in an honest and important way? -- is beautifully written despite the understandably scattered thoughts. It's going to haunt me for a while. www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/the-fires-...

Great piece from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and a noteworthy example of Bluesky users noticing something stupid, posting about it a bunch, and driving a whole news cycle. I expect we're going to see a lot more of that this year ➡️ www.404media.co/metas-ai-pro...

It is impossible not to resort to cheesy cliches but this is just a soul-achingly breathtakingly beautiful night in the forest surrounded by a galaxy of fireflies, having what I can only assume is the most spectacular end of year orgy 😂

New paper! Wildlife crossings are a win-win, protecting motorists and increasing wildlife resilience to climate change by reducing mortality and reconnecting habitats.

We review how crossings support adaptation and offer siting/design considerations to maximize benefits.
