It's almost time for the annual two week State of the World conversation led by @bruces.bsky.social and yours truly. We'll try not to explode as we survey the damage, which is exceptionally plentiful and weird this year.

A supposed "genius" who was supposed to lead a team cutting staff strategically and smartly actually made a show of doing his work without thinking about it - taking a chainsaw to government. That's so weird.
