Not an accident that DHS posts a photo of a volunteer on the @katmabu.bsky.social congressional campaign getting handcuffed. Pure intimidation of opposition voices via a federal account.

I find it so baffling that a new leader like Bari Weiss would be allowed by her own team send such a tone deaf all-hands message. Even a quick audience sense check with AI shows it would bomb. Mine: claude.ai/chat/c3d2884...

60+ nautical miles of spread in the Figaro fleet right now. Irishman @tomdolanskipper.bsky.social making a bold move west to find wind. Check in in the morning to see if it paid off…

No surprise, given the current strategic dichotomy between east and west, that China is seeking advice on AI risk while the White House is purely rushing headlong into an arms race.

This is what we’re all up against in the war for attention. Netflix gathering probably well north of a trillion data points a day by now on user behavior, attention usage, etc. TikTok probably more so, same for YouTube, other platforms. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a...

Watched 200+ sailors from more than 20 countries launch for the U21 World Championships this morning. Dun Laoghaire at its best. Plenty of future Olympians in this bunch, great to see events at this level staged in Ireland.
