I'm interviewing Bluesky execs on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt in a few weeks, so it's only fitting to ask on Bluesky... what do people want to know?

I think the political left should be the loudest voice calling for an AI model development pause, frontier pacing, and mandatory third party audits right now. Put aside the doomer stuff (though I think it’s plausible), we just found out that OpenAI’s agents committed a pretty major felony!

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

French troops require wine or else they won't fight. The problem with wine is that glass bottles break and steel cans leak when hit by shrapnel and fouled the flavor. So they invented Vinogel, a 3x solid wine concentrate made with pectin that could be reconstituted or eaten.

A 25kg plastic jug of Vinogel, by virtue of being solid, even if the container broke, the substance would not leak and it was shelf stable so could be transported in ultra-light plastic.

It is the position of the U.S. government that a person who is indicted but then has their charges dismissed can remain in permanent limbo as long as the government files a notice of interlocutory appeal and then advises the Solicitor General to not act on it

```
In the United States Court of Appeals
for the Eleventh Circuit

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
v. No. 25-13969-DD
TIMOTHY BURKE,
Defendant-Appellee

United States’ Response to Motion to Dismiss Appeal for
Failure to Prosecute

In his response to the United States’ July 31, 2026 motion for an
extension of time, appellee Timothy Burke asks this Court to dismiss this
appeal for failure to prosecute. This Court should deny that request.

As we explained in our latest extension request, we have again sought an
extension of time to file our brief because the Solicitor General has not yet
decided whether this appeal should go forward. As this Court is well aware,
the United States may not brief this appeal—or for that matter, move to
dismiss it—without the Solicitor General’s authorization. Thus far, everyone
else who is required to take part in this process (the United States Attorney’s
Office; the Appellate Section of the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division;
an Assistant to the Solicitor General; and the Deputy Solicitor General) has
made their recommendation on whether the appeal should proceed. See 28

People angrily insisting that El-Sayed using the phrase “break bread” re: sharing a meal with Jews at Passover was ignorant or offensive or insincere is a peak combination of assholes going out of their way to find something to get angry about & some Jews having weird illiteracy about Judaism.

At the Pesach Seder, when making the blessings over food, we still say the general b’racha for bread - המוציא לחם מן הארץ - over the matzah. We just *also* say a second b’racha about being commanded to eat matzah (על אכילת מצה). You’re saying HaMotzi LECHEM min haAretz over it.
