A long thought experiment prompted by the rise of civilizational states. Assume civilizational states become the cores of the blocs that divide the world. The year is 2075. What does it look like? And what determines the direction it takes? Five scenarios. https://medium.com/lawyers-guns-and-money/the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it-363004c016ca

The Bejing Summit was a nexus of three trends. None of them are favorable to the United States. Combined, they are a trap for the world. https://medium.com/lawyers-guns-and-money/it-all-came-together-in-beijing-70ddf48544d1

New, from me: Canvas Breach Disrupts Schools and Colleges Nationwide

"An ongoing data extortion attack targeting the widely-used education technology platform Canvas disrupted classes and coursework at school districts and universities across the United States today, after a cybercrime group defaced the service’s login page with a ransom demand that threatened to leak data from 275 million students and faculty across nearly 9,000 educational institutions."

"Canvas parent firm Instructure responded to today's defacement attacks by disabling the platform, which is used by thousands of schools, universities and businesses to manage coursework and assignments, and to communicate with students."

However you feel about Mamdani - and to be clear, I love him - what he’s managed to do across policy, messaging, and execution should be a blueprint. Making real change while making jokes about Mario Kart. Just really good - and it’s sad that it’s so different to everyone else.

Part three of three on LGM. Looking at the transition away from our old timekeeping to atomic clocks. No leap seconds, but the transition holds danger, too. Also, speculation about life detached from "human" time. https://medium.com/lawyers-guns-and-money/we-voted-to-detach-our-clocks-from-the-sun-nobody-knows-if-were-ready-cb6f5fbcc5e7

We Voted to Detach Our Clocks from the Sun. Nobody Knows If We’re Ready.

In 2022, the world agreed to end the leap second by 2035. The transition window is a minefield — and we’re walking through it.
