Today, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new — an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.
Ada Palmer argued in The Chronicle that there's never been a better time to start a PhD. I spent twenty years hiring and firing the people with those PhDs. Wrote back. They published it.
My letter in the South China Morning Post. Twenty years in tech and what I saw was never algorithms replacing people, it was people quietly learning to sound irreplaceable. In Brazil, 546,000 took mental health leave last year. The pressure is structural. The diagnosis, somehow, still personal.
Anthropic's AI safety lead resigned to study poetry. The media laughed.
I wrote about why he might be the sanest person in the room. Tarkovsky's Stalker, Hannah Arendt, and a Portuguese word Silicon Valley badly needs.

Let’s toast to the end of our democratic way of life with a lovely gig.
Tony Blair Should Be on Trial for War Crimes, Not Running Gaza

Ever notice how the biggest changes often begin in the smallest places? The corner café, the Saturday market, even a neighbour’s kindness. Just published The Chorus of Small Acts, where I try to wrestle with that. #politics #democracy #stayalert

As of today, we shall no longer be in a position to truly know US inflation figures, or indeed any data.
Projections:
Goldman Sachs: Core PCE ≈ 3.5% YoY
FOMC: around 3.0 to 3.1%
OECD: Headline CPI ≈ 3.9% peak
Fed median consensus sees inflation settling around 3%.
A stronger case for why D.C. should become a state has never been made. Trump’s seizure of power today is based on false pretext and is meant to distract from Epstein. But it has real consequences.
The people of D.C. should not be ruled by a tyrant. This is intimidation without representation.
I was curious how an old critique of plutocracy could still resonate today so I followed that thread through policy decisions, economic tactics and the quiet recalibration of governance. #OhYouUS

A stylised newspaper front page from “Crown City News” with a bold headline reading “Congratulations” and a subheading thanking the reader for playing Mario Kart World, featuring a large central image of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Yoshi, Toad, Toadette, Wario, Waluigi, Bowser, Rosalina, Pauline and other characters celebrating in front of a Mario Kart archway, with surrounding clippings showing a Chain Chomp, a haunted mansion track and boost panels.
Honestly, it was deeply moving and memorable. The new Rainbow Road is absolutely stunning and already feels like a legendary track! 🤩🕹️ #NintendoSwitch2 #MarioKartTour

Two vibrant pop art portraits of Aretha Franklin are displayed side by side against a bold red wall; both works feature geometric shapes and neon colours, echoing the signature style of Andy Warhol.

🎵 I feel an overwhelming sadness
Of all the friends I do not have left
Seeing how my family has fracturеd
Growin' up and movin' on 🎵
2008 was a dam bursting; 2025 is a slow, silent leak — different tempos, same collapse. #US #Pensions #PrivateEquity
It’s hard to keep up with all of Trump’s abuses of power. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social sums up his chaotic first 100 days—in 100 seconds.

Not all revolutions roar; some shimmer quietly, trembling on the dance floor. We dance — for every battle we fight today.

What if the future whispered instead of shouted? As I wandered through the plans for Expo 2025 Osaka, I found timber rings, living hearts, and quiet revolutions offering a gentler vision of tomorrow.
