Homemade intelligence dashboards on Iran are spreading. But an abundance of information does not come with the accuracy or context required for real understanding. Intelligence agencies do this in-house; good journalism does the same work for the rest of us www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/09/1...
Next week I’m heading to Austin to speak at @sxsw.com for the second time. A) come and watch if you’re there (it’s already fully-reserved 🤯but walk-ups are possible!) and b) shout if there anything I must attend! (And if we know each other say hi.) schedule.sxsw.com/2026/contrib...

Distressing powerful story

Can this Canadian startup really deliver lightning suppression on demand? Possibly maybe ... but caveats abound.
(In which I dig into the rich history of US agency efforts to control the weather.)
So proud that @technologyreview.com has been shortlisted in the Reporting category in this year's National Magazine Awards!

Brits say please and thank you (and it sounds weirdly rude to our ears when Americans don't) but would never say sir or maam
Today's Big Story (from @squigglyvolcano.bsky.social) is the tale of how America blew its lead in the race to find evidence of alien life on Mars.
It's really really fun. Enjoy.

After the whole OpenClaw furore, @gracehuckins.bsky.social asks: can personal AI assistants ever be totally secure?

For some, Moltbook showed us what’s coming next: an internet where millions of autonomous agents interact online with little or no human oversight. But is it? Smart from @willdouglasheaven.bsky.social

Our first Big Story of 2026 is on the Vitalists—the extreme-longevity movement that believes death is immoral, and we need to just... stop it.

Um. Headlines are easier than this.
Lots of “the Jimmys wear bad tracksuits and odd blonde wigs….”
