If Zarah Sultana MP had not entered this into the public record by saying it in the House of Commons on 14 April 2026, today it would be illegal to print this in any UK media.

I’ve been on a bit of a Wim Wenders streak recently. Wings of Desire, Paris, Texas, and now Perfect Days.

This is interesting. In my blogposts analyzing ATproto I had compared the shared heap vs message passing from a CS perspective

Ian Preston of Peergos did the actual formal mathematical proof of the incentive structure: https://peergos.net/secret/z59vuwzfFDp45jmsA6Wj2jc9hemCjB4JJHB81iosJsA9GAVRtkbrqBs/1024927538#%7B%22app%22:%22markup%22%2c%22path%22:%22ianopolous/docs%22%2c%22args%22:%7B%22filename%22:%22social-scaling.note%22%7D%2c%22writable%22:false%2c%22secretLink%22:true%2c%22linkpassword%22:%22UfAQURKSTTmM%22%2c%22open%22:true%7D

> It is interesting that this is independent of N. Let's say you have 1000 servers, and 1000 followers per user. Then the shared heap model uses about the same network bandwidth. With a small number of servers SH can be better, with many servers AP is better.

> The conclusion is that the shared-heap model builds in a structural incentive to keep M small, and thus has a natural centralizing force. Conversely there is an incentive in AP to keep F small.

Ie, there is a mathematical incentive in ATproto to only have a few large players.

Fuck Palantir. Fuck their manifesto. Fuck that we have fallen so far they feel comfortable saying the evil part out loud.

Now that’s a 10 out of 10 loaf! 🍞

Nannette got in the box and my friend and I were both taking photos, this was the best and is her photo posted with permission. She's done similar things before, I think she knows she's modeling😅 #NYC #AltText #CatsOfMastodon

Imagine getting the brief to write some copy on a fucking bin bag and then smashing it out of the park like this. Sensational effort.
