A few initial thoughts on the Hogue Commission report, which I believe is an incredibly important document for the future of Canadian democracy. In short, at a time when the US is undermining efforts to study and respond to disinformation, this report puts Canada on the frontlines of a potential democratic response.

Really it’s my own fault for booking @FlySwoop. Canceling flights less than 24H and requiring passengers to contact you through social is peak zero-fucks-to-give energy 🤷♂️

Two years ago I discovered scholarship arguing that AI is creating a new colonial world order. The idea haunted me & pushed me to investigate. Today I begin to release my findings: a culmination of reporting across five continents. Here’s my introduction. technologyreview.com/2022/04…

BREAKING: This morning @propublica has what I consider the most important story we have ever published.
It concerns a trove of secret IRS files we were given on the tax returns of the nation’s richest people. The findings are extraordinary.

I was sad to learn today that my friend & @8VC partner lost his uncle to COVID-19 in India. The pandemic is getting worse there, and they need more vaccines.
In honor of his family, I will donate $50 for every re-tweet, up to $125,000 USD, to help with efforts in India. (1/2)
