One of the biggest election stories no one's talking about: the US Democratic primaries are becoming a proxy war between rival AI factions, with candidates tuning their strategies accordingly. My latest Substack digs into how that happened.

Scatter plot titled "Political alignment with AI industry: Strategies employed by US politicians in summer 2026." Vertical axis ranges from accelerationist (bottom) to cautionary (top); horizontal axis from blue districts (left) to red districts (right). Labeled examples: Bores—"Invite the attack"; Rutinel—"Stay quiet, let allies shield you"; Lawrence—"Frame it as land, not ideology"; Lasher—"Take the money, mock the PACs"; Whitmer—"Pitch growth to older voters."

Monarch of Crystallography: Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin and the Structure of Large Molecules.
Two scientists.Two crystallographers.Both successful, but one died young after her most significant discovery was snatched from her, while the other lived to a ripe old age after a string of ground-breaking discoveries and a Nobel Prize. The former, Rosalind Franklin, is a household name. But the latter, in spite of the foundational importance of her work, has always remained on the fringe of our cultural perception: Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin (1910-1994).  It is one of the truly frustrating …

I've just signed a petition calling on the richest governments to tax the profits of oil and gas companies. It’s completely unfair that those who did the most to cause the climate crisis stand to profit from more destruction and war while we pay the price. You can sign it here:
