Tweets about illegal fishing, corporate transparency, maritime domain awareness and football. Ex DOD & Pew but always NY Giants, Notre Dame and Stony Brook. Opinions mine, not my employers. The same one from Twitter.

Just a reminder that I manage a conservation and fisheries (or fisheries conservation) starter pack. One day I'll get around to a counter IUU specific one but today is not that day.

It got almost no attention but six months ago Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ditched the beneficial ownership rules that facilitate tax evasion and oligarchy by simply choosing to not enforce them. Bob Kuttner has that story.

How Scott Bessent Enables Oligarchy

The Treasury secretary has gutted the most important anti-corruption reform legislation in a generation—the 2020 Corporate Transparency Act.

Parent needs a hand coming up with a fantastical story at bedtime whose details may resemble fact but are impossible to verify?

Congratulations, Nature has already filled this void: what you're looking for is 'an uncle''

Some parents are letting their kids talk to ChatGPT in the guise of characters. Some are using it to tell bedtime stories or create coloring books.

"My son thinks ChatGPT is the coolest train loving person in the world. The bar is set so high now I am never going to be able to compete with that.”

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?

Some believe AI can spark their child’s imagination through personalized stories and generative images. Scientists are wary of its affect on creativity

Missed opportunity for a Captain Planet sidekick

But seriously, I’m super excited to join a team working specifically on State level fisheries transparency. Sunlight is always the best disinfectant no matter what industry you’re in.

Some personal job news - I’m officially joining the @fishcoalition.bsky.social as their Senior Policy Manager, which means the exact same mix of illegal fishing, corporate transparency and sports content that you’ve all enjoyed here for the past forever.

Everything Stephen Miller learnt about international law came from that Simpsons episode where Homer and Bart steal Mr. Burns’ yacht.

Why that Admiral took that meeting without General Counsel sitting next to him to answer I do not understand.

Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · 9d

Reminder that Miller once asked an admiral “When a boat full of migrants is in int’l waters, they aren’t protected by the U.S. Constitution, right?” When admiral said that’s technically true, but int’l law still applied, Miller replied: “why can’t we use a Predator drone to obliterate that boat?”

Stephen Miller takes leading role in strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug boats

Exclusive: Miller’s homeland security council has played a key part in coordinating operations, sources say

Thank you! I was going to say the same thing - I was wearing outfits like this in 2010-2015. Though I think the jacket is too long and cuts her off oddly, otherwise it’s fine.

I’m just a simple person but I think things advertised to taste like candy corn should actually taste like candy corn

A lot of counter illegal fishing focuses on industrial fisheries, but there are also real issues with charter fleets doing incursions into MPAs or not being properly licensed.

And don't forget, these vessels charge people thousands of dollars!

Illegal fishing threat's 'larger than you think'

The threat posed to The Bahamas by illegal charter fishing is "much larger than people think", a global investigator warned yesterday, "with at least a dozen" other US vessels under suspicion.

I don’t understand how people still think it’s a good idea to do a Choitner interview. I would run screaming.
