The Resonant Computing Manifesto Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that.

Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us.

Zillow Removes Climate Risk Scores From Home Listings

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Don't look up!

AT LAST! And a big congrats. You get to join the ranks of Perez, Jimenez and all the other greats!

Here’s just a few drops that brewed up in this week’s Espresso Shots: designing a life from scratch, acting on sparks of inspiration, a patchwork of role models, and savoring the analog charm of tiny vinyl. #storytelling #leadership #til

Third in line for the presidency, can marshal the votes of the bicameral congressional majority to pass just about any bill.

“Helpless”

Your J. Jonah Jameson phase! Looking good and ornery.

Oh, this is very cool — assume I can install via BRAT? Do wish Obsidian also had iOS Widget support. I have also used @bearnotesapp.bsky.social and they have a lovely random note widget (with the ability to target a specific tag). This has come in wildly handy in resurfacing notes on mobile.

Best of luck. Have never had a problem with Obsidian Sync.

Bearded Martin Sheen always scared me.

Protests

I'd really like better coverage of protest numbers from yesterday. I'm seeing estimates of 1 to 5 million, but then news headlines that say "thousands protest across America." Please update with your city info if you have a published estimate: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Trump tried to illegally remove the head of the FEC and she told him she's not leaving until it's done legally. This is an abhorrent headline from Bloomberg. It's disinformation.

The ordinary questions you might ask: Is Elon Musk a government employee? Are his lieutenants? Does he personally hold a security clearance and do his “lieutenants”? Have they all undergone a background check? Are they subject to foreign influence? Have they ever done a sieg heil on stage?

Uh, I use @bearnotesapp.bsky.social and == is the method I use for highlights.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Just wanted to say how much I loved your interview with Ezra Klein. Absolutely fantastic and the deep, but meta — “what the hell is going on here” — discussion I had been hoping for. Reading your book now, which is fantastic. Thanks much!

Lmao getting rid of a corruption charge through corruption

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

Poking Fun at Trump, Mexico’s President Suggests U.S. Should be Called ‘Mexican America’ (Gift Article) President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico also said Donald Trump was ill-informed when he said Mexico was “essentially run by the cartels.”
