Global and interlocking patterns of national AI strategies are more entangled and pluralistic than binaries of tech leaders and followers.

How is AI governed globally? We offer a networks & clusters approach to global governance. Using computational methods, we evidence the pluralism in AI governance in which there are great powers and ‘leaders’ but the non-leaders may not follow or suffer as they must academic.oup.com/ia/article-a...

What are we going to do? Will we start seeing baritones and basses rushing to stage as the soprano dies? Or get past the inherent sexism of many stories? Or, is the tenor voice wrongly cultivated for many like that of the countertenors in another era? www.economist.com/culture/2026...

Donald Trump's military parade was an embarrassing flop, and his vision for a new White House ballroom has been widely ridiculed. Incapable of achieving genuine spectacle, he has opted for cheap shock politics instead, notes @jp-singh.bsky.social. bit.ly/4anyXbh

My op ed based on Trump's speech at Davos where after excoriating the Europeans, he spoke about a shared "special culture...the precious inheritance that America and Europe have in common." He didn't believe a word he said. Here's the history of that culture and all that Trump does to negate it.

This poll from my school shows that 79% of DC residents oppose Trump's actions on law enforcement. 78% feel safe. Crime was already declining. Trump's response: a justice dept. investigation of DC police data. And, more boots! My Dean @markjrozell.bsky.social is quoted in the analysis below:

We asked 604 D.C. residents about Trump’s takeover. Here’s what they said.

Though crime continues to be a concern, most residents strongly oppose Trump’s actions and don’t think they’ll make D.C. safer, a Washington Post-Schar School poll found.
