My latest piece in Canary Media.

In this issue we're communing with a long-dead anarchist philosopher by way of modern technology.

On 5th December 2025, my metaverse piece "Crumpled Cave" was part of the virtual exhibition "Mad World" along with other various artists.

We've been talking a lot about autonomous vehicles, and in particular Waymo, on this blog. In my opinion, the safety records — which Waymo has published after driving more than 100 million driverless miles — already suggest that none of us should be driving cars anymore. Some or many of you will disagree with this statement, but there's a reason why car crashes are the number two cause of death for children and young adults in the US.

The conversion of humans into tradable assets did not begin with blockchain. It is older than any technology we might blame. Whenever a system needs to allocate resources, predict behavior, or extract value, it develops methods to render persons as comparable units. The mechanisms vary—ledgers, algorithms, scores, tokens—but the operation remains constant: reduce a human to a legible instrument whose worth can be calculated by others.

Fintech loves to pretend the world is running on modern infrastructure. Founders talk about APIs, real time rails, cloud cores, and digital transformation as if the old world politely powered down before the new one came online. Meanwhile, a huge portion of emerging market money still moves through systems shaped by FoxPro, a 1990s database language that Microsoft buried while half this industry was still in diapers. People do not like admitting this because it ruins the aesthetic. But the re...

The Base–Solana bridge, secured by Chainlink CCIP and supported by Coinbase, is now live…

People feel that modern money is stealing from them, even if they can't articulate the mechanics. Bitcoin is that system.

The BizarreBeasts universe is fundamentally about co-ownership, and today, we're extending that principle to one of the most BIZARRE forms of media: the written word. I am going BIZARRE to announce the launch of our official Paragraph Writer Coin: $BBBLOG. This coin supports the $BB project and distribution of BIZARRE blog posts on Paragraph (now over 85 with 600+ subscribers), but more importantly, it is a Signal of Early Support and a mechanism for adding utility to the project/community th...

Rising Toll and Current Casualties The latest reports from disaster mitigation agencies indicate a grim and rising toll. As of the time of this report, the confir...

The widespread use of digital technologies has given law enforcement brand new opportunities to use sophisticated tools for detecting crimes. That said, simply because technology has opened up new pathways for investigation does not mean that we should use them in ways that violate personal privacy.
