Hell of an argument for banning social media for under 16s from Kemi this.

Get kids off it so we can be free to carry on destroying our democracy and tearing apart our society without them.

Caught up on Carney's Davos speech. Powerful - cites Havel filtered through Kundera anti kitsch sensibility

This guy doesn’t realise how much of a symptom of the problem he is. A back-combed, permatanned avatar of smugness handing out lectures to people whose responsibilities he can’t even begin to encompass.

Fun fact, ~200l water is used for a cubic meter of business as usual concrete. And there is a lot of that around and still planned for a no future-future.

’Osborne is just about two weeks into his new full-time job with OpenAI, and he’s got one of his most important gigs of the year very early into his tenure. His new role comes with the job title of managing director, but in practice he is […] head of its “OpenAI for Governments” initiative.’
I’ve written about George Osborne making his Davos comeback – trying to convince governments to buy into OpenAI.

But it’s really about the tactics of different AI companies, and the *serious* need for them to find big customers (and revenues) this year.

Guess who's coming (back) to Davos
It's (mostly) not about Donald Trump – another Davos returnee has got nearly as tough a sell.

This was in the donations pile this week and at first glance I thought ‘here we go’ but after leafing through it for a bit, I’ll admit I’m wrong. This looks brilliantly insightful and painfully true.

Your reminder of european-alternatives.eu .

Used it the other week to find an alternative newsletter service and was delighted to discover France's www.brevo.com - which seems to have a great price, service (for what we wanted) *and* compliance (e.g. anonymised tracking).

I’ve been reading Trump’s "Board of Peace Charter," and despite the name, this isn’t a multilateral institution, it’s a centralised structure built entirely around the authority of one person (Trump).

"One possible advantage that European AI labs hold over the large American firms—closed shops that share very little about their training data or the intricacies of their model design—is a willingness to develop out in the open."

Europe is America's biggest customer for fossil gas exports, by a pretty decent margin. One hell of a time to be directly antagonising and alienating the key customer for the already-shaky LNG boom in the US

Maybe we can, oh I dunno, start to have a conversation with voters about this? The problem is not going to go away.
The way politics is being conducted by both the tories and Labour seems surreal to me. We have a lunatic in the WH who simply cannot be relied on to be an ally, indeed the opposite, we need to spend a ton of cash on defence and no-one seems to think voters might need to be, er, readied for all this

A massive "Hands off Greenland" protest is happening right now in Copenhagen to demonstrate against Trump's threats.

"The aim is to send a clear and unified message of respect for Greenland's democracy," organisers said.

“Respect for Greenland, respect for Greenlanders, respect for Denmark.”

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.
