Is #CloudflareConnect a developer conference? @kateholterhoff.com & @monkchips.com discuss their reckons in this (not so) Quick Take, live in San Francisco. And, yes, it’s Kate’s birthday 🎂 redmonk.com/videos/qt-cl...

It's all late 90s early oughts R&B in the coffee shop this morning. Aaliyah, Lauren Hill, D'Angelo, Floetry. A great era for soul production. The balance of crisp snap to bass drops, always with an eye to vocal harmonies to ride the rhythms. Incredible vocal artists helped obviously.

It would be cool if there was like some kind of nonprofit organization dedicated to developing open AI

Like many artists, I am struggling with AI. My reaction to this has been to create an entirely human made product for other humans to make! You can buy a little paper house. It arrives in a bright envelope with a bit of art and silliness. More here: www.lucycorrina.co.uk/shopproducts...

Lina Khan on Mamdani: "One thing we saw the mayor be very attentive to is all sorts of daily nickel and diming -- taking on junk fees, subscription traps. Those can seem very micro and targeted, but in the aggregate I see those as really designed to take on unfair methods of competition."

Don't sleep on Serbia. The kids are alright. 🇷🇸

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

this is a good post by Katelyn Lesse, head of platform at Anthropic about the problems the industry needs to solve for multi-agent systems. most pressingly imo - authentication and authorisation. "Security and proper isolation are critical for untrusted code and content." - sandboxes 🚀

This is good

If she wins a full term in November, Fire Thunder would join a growing number of Indigenous women successfully seeking higher office across the country. In Montana, the success of these candidates is a result of decades of women-led organizing on the ground.

Another interesting thing that happened in Brazil and might be worth considering in the U.S.: a triumph of the liberal field was to detach Bolsonarism from the right. It wasn’t about left or right anymore; it was both left and right, liberals and centrists, fighting against far-right extremism.

don't really want the haters to hate me, but also don't want to post and respond in the hermetic system run by one of the worst people on earth.

make no mistake. the hermetic system is intentional. functionally x is a much more closed system than it was. there is some clever product work that's gone into making it a good place to share long form work. see for example the way it handles arXiv links. it's not a bad reader at all.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Fuck Yeah. Sweet like a caipirinha. 🇧🇷

With 83% of the vote counted nationwide, Lula has stretched his lead to 2.8 million votes. That's a lead of 51.4% to 48.6%. That puts him on track for a victory that could be larger than his 1.8% win four years ago, which would be an immense comeback. He's even up in Minas Gervais now, by 0.6%.

What a fantastic day. Well done Brazil and Serbia!

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Took the fam to watch Ghosts: The Possession of Button House today and it was spot on. If you enjoy the series you will likely enjoy the movie. A couple of belly laughs, plenty of chuckles, and it was well enough plotted. Good escapist fun, with some ET/ST coded bike sequences. 4/5.

Cool cool. Another gem from the "State's Rights" enjoyers.

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

Bro really is very good at this. "Because hurricanes and gas leaks and diabetes don't check your party affiliation when they hit, and when it comes to serving Georgia... I don't either." 🎯
