Really excited to share this application with the world today. I'm designing this program for this moment specifically. The dominant social platforms suck. There are a lot of bright spots with people experimenting and building new things. But also, tech and AI is moving so fast!

Waking up to @bimade.bsky.social yesterday as the new voice of The Seven from WaPo was a delight and a joy. It gave me Another Round feels. Like Tracy and Bim and Heben just kickin it. Different vibe, sure. But love hearing a familiar voice.

Renee DiResta recently argued in Noema that we need a way to prove personhood online. And quoted Eli and my work calling for civil society and industry to do the work to create and govern a shared human-agent internet. www.noemamag.com/we-need-a-wa...

We Need A Way To Prove Personhood Online | NOEMA

The growing number of AI agents roaming the internet will eventually force us to verify what the old web mostly presumed: that there is a morally and legally accountable person somewhere in the chain.

Seattle really turned out for USMNT. Wish the team had turned out too. 😤

I've been rooting for Agentina in the Mundial since 2010. USMNT since 🤷🏽‍♀️. Colombia since this year cause we've got a Colombia fan in our lives. But that's kind what I love about the World Cup. It can be patriotic but it can also be about the beautiful game and the story of these players and teams.

Uncivil language that's directed upward is part of a healthy democracy. And the moderation tools we've built for public conversation with public broadcasters make that distinction. This feels like an especially important distinction on the eve of America's 250th 🇺🇸

Listen. I love Kraft Mac and Cheese. But I also appreciate organic produce. I think that is how social technology could evolve too: From mass market social media to bespoke, local-first options.

The guy starting a pizza restaurant didn't set out to make trash pizza. And the entrepreneur building a new social app or consumer product, usually doesn't set out to eXtrAcT mAxiMuM vAlUe fOr tHeiR sHaRehOLdErs. But financial gravity often pushes them in that direction.

Blacksky Algorithms founder @rude1.blacksky.team gave the most real keynote and call to action to close out PublicSpaces 2026.

Rudy Fraser standing at a lecturn in front of a screen showing his name.

Keynote speaker Rudy Fraser gestures at a screen thay reads: "What is open source if not a multi-generational sharing of knowledge and a promise to preserve the commons that grew you?"

Rudy stands before a screen showing screenshots from a moderation dashboard. It reads: "What are things like content moderation or encryption if not a form of harm reduction, community care, and an example of us keeping us safe when others won't?"
