Can’t wait to be in Singapore in a couple weeks. I might even be more excited about the food than about giving these lectures, but so very much looking forward to both. If you’re in SG or nearby hit me up.

🚨 NEW via POLITICO: Waltz’s team set up at least 20 Signal group chats for crises across the world
Mike Waltz’s team used at least 20 Signal chats to coordinate official work on Ukraine, China, Gaza, and more—often discussing sensitive info.
This goes way beyond what was previously known.

It’s a more extensive use of the app than previously reported and sheds new light on how commonly the Trump administration’s national security team relies on Signal.

This was my first thought too. Yes it’s sloppy but it’s intentionally running gov ops offline and away from gov oversight. WTAF?
As I explain here, security isn't even the biggest part of the Signal Scandal. This is to keep actions secret from the US government. It's how to do crimes, bribes and more. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/signa...

It's great to see this thoughtful review of *The Varieties of Atheism,* published by Peter Fritz.
"Totally absent from this volume is the point-scoring that transpires between airport bookshop atheists and putative defenders of the faith....The result is sophisticated and satisfying."

Christian theology has long emphasized salvation as redemption—sin as a debt to be repaid. Yet the Bible also offers another vision: Jubilee, where debts are not settled but erased. While both metaphors appear in scripture, they operate on different logics.

This time thru my “Religion and Social Capital” class I included Hahrie Han’s @hahrie.bsky.social latest book Undivided, documenting a racial justice program at a Cincinnati megachurch. It worked really well with the curriculum (Bourdieu, Coleman, Putnam, Durkheim, Mauss and many others).

This is one of the primary goals of "AI" these days: to create an empty chair that takes the blame for corporate misconduct.
We didn't discriminate, the AI told us who to hire. We didn't wrongfully reject the health insurance claim, the AI told us to. And on and on.
