It was an honor to have my reflection included in this zine declaring political hope amid a time of dissolution and laying-bare. Thank you @linasrivastava.bsky.social. Here's to keeping honest and keeping at it.

With massive dependency on Taiwan chip supply, "there is increasing concern that inaction by some of Silicon Valley’s most important companies risks destabilizing the global economy." @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/t...

The specifics of this are extremely bad. DHS is using a tariffs/product importation law to demand Meta unmask the identity of an Instagram account that posts about ICE enforcement actions. The page sells no merch. Lawyers call it "wildly outside the scope" of the law www.404media.co/dhs-tries-to...

EXCLUSIVE: Jeffries will endorse Mamdani for NYC mayor, after nine months of pressure and just before early voting begins Saturday. That leaves Schumer as the last key person in the state's Dem leadership to withhold support.

👀 When is research not exactly facts. When it's Silicon Valley.

Who's in the room when legislators make tech decisions? What makes communities visible? What makes science legible? Some highlights from CAT Lab @cornelluniversity.bsky.social Summit on NY State tech policy. citizensandtech.org/2025/10/at-c... w @eleag.bsky.social @natematias.bsky.social

What is the Times doing calling this extrajudicial murder spree “cartel strikes”? On what evidence do they ape the killers’ propaganda? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/u...

Throttled by Meta.

I don't think Dowager Countess dry delivery meets the moment, NYT.

Wow was that fast--an immigrant advocate group already filed an amended complaint seeking class action relief in its birthright citizenship case in federal court in Maryland

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent hits the target. She is reminding us of the stakes in this case. And she is spot on. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

NEW: A WIRED investigation of 911 calls placed from ICE detention sites across the US show a system inundated by life-threatening crises, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. By me & @dmehro.bsky.social. Free to read:

Advocacy in Myanmar, Thailand, and Cambodia shows that Global South demands gain traction in platform governance when they align with Western priorities, are amplified by international allies, and build trust with marginalized communities, writes Mai Van Tran.

As Malaysia investigates possible Chinese local use of restricted chips, this explainer on remote poaching I helped develop remains very timely. Researcher Min-yen Chiang goes deep on how China continues sourcing chips and expertise. www.opentech.fund/news/how-chi...

So far, the two let's-normalize-war alerts I've gotten are from NYT and the UK's conservative standby The Spectator.

You know how customer service bots and standard search engines like saying "Did you mean ...?" Too often the Google AI Overview still feels like that. No, I didn't. Please show me my results. "Operator... Operator..."

I don't usually post basic outrage posts, but the idea that the media is credibly talking about Trump "pushing" Putin to do anything is just ... *gestures wildly* *pounds bar* *McConaughey tears* ... really offensive.

"'Innovation' is bullshit." Prof. Neil Richards of Washington University. It's a concept wielded as a"self-serving, self-contained selective ideology that contains only the things that tech companies think are good." #framewars @knightcolumbia.org More Neil here: source.washu.edu/experts/neil...
