- Reposted by Keith A. Preble, Ph.D.For the first time, Waymo has disclosed that it employs workers in the Philippines to monitor and support its driverless rides, which are marketed as fully autonomous.

- The use of crypto can't be good for economic sanctions and other tools of statecraft. There hasn't been enough regulatory attention paid to cryptocurrency and its ability to finance WMD programs: /1 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...
- The EU is a major trading partner, but the arrogance of US officials quoted in this piece is astounding: www.bbc.com/news/article... All those negotiations this summer were a waste of everyone’s time.

- Oops, my phone autocorrected - it's Byron Donalds, not Daniels.
- It's hilarious the stuff that people like Daniels will say to delegitimize protestors. Let's sit back and ask ourselves how much money a single person would accept to go out and risk being violently assaulted by ICE or law enforcement? $20? $200? $2000? /1
- These findings shouldn't be a shock to anyone. Why policymakers in DC continue to push them as some kind of versatile tool of economic statecraft (which they aren't) still astounds me. www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

- Reposted by Keith A. Preble, Ph.D.Trump accepting Machado's Nobel Peace Prize is a great insult to the FIFA Peace Prize committee
- Reposted by Keith A. Preble, Ph.D.I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
