- Design intern proposed turning it into an ~~experience~~, demoed her idea
- They didn’t hire her, but the redesign looks a lot like what she proposed
- Spotify says “nuh-uh, and besides lots of people contributed to it.” OK.

Veganism, a thread 🧵:
Having gone vegan, I genuinely struggle now to square vegetarians' love of animals with the realities of the dairy and egg industries. For context, I grew up vegetarian and went vegan about 5 years ago now, but I realized the inherent moral tension back in college (I just wanted to do some research to ensure I wasn't losing nutrition and stuff, more on that later).

Towards the end of Dawn of Everything, Graeber/Wengrow talk about how a clan system within tribes allowed individuals to move between tribes. These clan/moiety systems meant that there was always a "family" to be adopted into, and a common frame of reference. The authors posited that these systems evolved partially to resist authoritarian centralization.
What they didn't talk about is the fact that religious communities serve a similar function within the context of the modern nation state...

Fork, Explore, Commit: OS Primitives for Agentic Exploration
Cong Wang, Yusheng Zheng
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.08199 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.08199 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.08199
arXiv:2602.08199v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: AI agents increasingly perform agentic exploration: pursuing multiple solution paths in parallel and committing only the successful one. Because each exploration path may modify files and spawn processes, agents require isolated environments with atomic commit and rollback semantics for both filesystem state and process state. We introduce the branch context, a new OS abstraction that provides: (1) copy-on-write state isolation with independent filesystem views and process groups, (2) a structured lifecycle of fork, explore, and commit/abort, (3) first-commit-wins resolution that automatically invalidates sibling branches, and (4) nestable contexts for hierarchical exploration. We realize branch contexts in Linux through two complementary components. First, BranchFS is a FUSE-based filesystem that gives each branch context an isolated copy-on-write workspace, with O(1) creation, atomic commit to the parent, and automatic sibling invalidation, all without root privileges. BranchFS is open sourced in https://github.com/multikernel/branchfs. Second, branch() is a proposed Linux syscall that spawns processes into branch contexts with reliable termination, kernel-enforced sibling isolation, and first-commit-wins coordination. Preliminary evaluation of BranchFS shows sub-350 us branch creation independent of base filesystem size, and modification-proportional commit overhead (under 1 ms for small changes).

“In 1976, #BuckminsterFuller stated that “it’ll take 50 years [to 2026!] for us to realize that our institutions are rooted in an inaccurate understanding of the world. And they will become so dysfunctional in 50 years that we cannot fix them… They will disintegrate before our very eyes, every single institution of humanity. And that’s when we will need to reinvent, recreate institutions for the human family that are rooted in the truth of the more accurate understanding of the world, the context of sufficiency.” (Reported by Lynne Twist who attended this lecture at Marin Civic Center in 1976.)”

I’m delighted to hear more people talking about data poisoning in the context of mass surveillance.
This video has YouTube Syndrome (overlong to reach 10 min, filler, spends too long teasing the actual info), but starts getting into the heart of it around 3:45.
I was hoping for more actionable advice about active poisoning toward the end, and not just “like nicer stuff on social media,” but…good start, glad people are talking.

“Throughout our trip to Germany, most of the conversations I had with other survivors and their families reliably returned to fears and intergenerational traumas in the context of the Trump presidency; the rise of nationalism, authoritarianism and uncertainty in the U.S. and around the world. But although this was at the height of devastating reports of famine and genocide emerging from Gaza, everyone in our group, especially the Jews, seemed to make a concerted effort to avoid mention of Pa…

This from @… is a very good question. My own educated guess is that ICE has been compiling a “future harassment” list, rather than already having a “kill list;” the former makes far more sense in the context of their behavior here and Good’s history.
Regardless of the answer, it is a •very• good question. If Congress had a spine, they’d be marching DHS in front of them to answer it.

Putting this in the context of decades of US imperialism is both appropriate and necessary. Look at this map: even just in the Americas, this US-instigated coup of a foreign country has a long and miserable series of precedents.
