This was a cool one! Got to sit down with @HarvardBiz for a lengthy Q&A on the Iran War and the ongoing, historic energy supply crisis: how it works, how bad it could get, and how decision makers should think about the risk. Check it out: hbr.org/2026/03/the-oi…

Read @tom_stackpole on housing crisis on Martha’s Vineyard, the onetime regular place turned celebrity rich people playground where he grew up. Lessons for everywhere, particularly places where second homes/short-term rentals push out year-round residents motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

Martha's Vineyard has a rep as the summer playground of the liberal elite. But it's home yearround to working- and middle-class families increasingly squeezed out by housing costs. MV native @tom_stackpole reports on the fight to save the island community motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

@DanielSchulman @MotherJones @tom_stackpole I live in a small beach resort community & it is the same here. Most workers cannot afford to live in the immediate area and then are forced to commute in stand-still summer traffic. Proposed affordable apartments are being met with resistance from locals for some unknown reason

@ack_uber @DanielSchulman Oh yeah, Nantucket is also part of this coalition. I’ve got family there, too, fwiw. The housing situation is really out of control. What’s your take on it?

The point is, to address the housing crisis, we need to look at places where things are bad, see what they're doing, and, if it works, organize and try to replicate it. (E.g., Montgomery County, Maryland!) Because it's not going to get better on it's own. 5/5

And like a lot of places, success or failure here is a question of whether people in the community can organize. There's a committed core who has managed to navigate small town politics and unite people, lobby for policy at the state level, and try to find solutions. 4/x

I got to write about the housing crisis in my home town. Like a lot of places, it's almost impossible for normal people to find affordable rent or buy a house. So, folks are organizing to find ways to build, buy, and hold on to year-round housing. 1/x

As a linguist, I'm really curious to watch how a better understanding of history might change the modern use of the word Luddite. As someone concerned about how tech is being used to concentrate power, I want everyone to learn from this, stat.
Tech Won't Save Us@techwontsaveus

This week @bcmerchant is back to talk with @parismarx about the real history of the Luddites and why we should be inspired by them. In this clip, Brian explains how the divide on the “machine question” is as relevant today as it was in 1811. Full ep: podcasts.apple.com/podcast/the-re…

Joining Threads from Instagram is easy, but migrating from Twitter is a headache! This shows why we need social media based on open protocols – as @WhatTheLJW and I explain today in @HarvardBiz: hbr.org/2023/07/thread…

Whoa. Adobe is offering *full* legal indemnification for copyright lawsuits over generated images that enterprise users produce in Firefly. Their model is trained on licensed & out of copyright images, which others don't do - so it's a big throw-down. fastcompany.com/90906560/adobe…
