#Wikipedia just dodged a bullet in the UK but is still in danger.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2026-07-13/Special_report

The bullet was the possibility Category 1 classification under the UK Online Safety Act. It was spared that classification but remains on a "watch list" of platforms that "could become Category 1 at any point in the future."

If Wikipedia is later classified as Category 1, then either (1) contributors could no longer be pseudonymous or (2) Wikipedia would be subject to severe penalties under UK law.

How severe? The maximum penalty could include a fine up to £18 million, a UK-wide denial of access, and personal criminal liability for senior managers.

"Professor fired over #CharlieKirk post could receive $1.9M in settlement."
https://thehill.com/homenews/education/5948386-professor-fired-over-charlie-kirk-post-could-receive-1-9m-in-settlement

This is just the latest in a series. Universities that disciplined professors for criticizing Charlie Kirk knew or should have known that they were violating those professors' free-speech rights. But they did it to align themselves with the Trump admin, even on the wrong side of the law. Consider these settlements and damage awards to be a cowardice tax.

2026-06-28T14:55:59+02:00

Now we know. The high-security cell phone hardware and software used by the Secret Service are clunky. For example, when a local cop photographed Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man who shot at Donald Trump in 2023, agents had to receive the photos on their personal phones because their agency phones couldn't receive photos.
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5943032-secret-service-hacking-vulnerability/

This answers one version of a question I posed in 2021. When govt officials need tools with the features of Google Docs or Zoom, I imagine they have high-security tools to do -- or almost do -- the job. But are they Bond-level or clunky?

Paul Litvak wrote a thoughtful piece on the limitations of the journal article and the advantages of a proposed new one.
https://www.paullitvak.com/p/the-future-of-academic-journals

The new structure he proposes is similar to one I described in 2012: one that would disaggregate claims and connect each one to the current evidence, growing and changing as the evidence changed. See my 2012 essay, "The idea of an open-access evidence rack."
http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:32988193

One difference is that his would use #AI. Mine would use #crowdsourcing. (But his could also use crowdsourcing and mine could also use AI.)

His seems meant to stand alone. But mine is meant to be a dynamic collection of "perpetually updated, public footnotes" to be cited by other genres, such as articles, books, and so on.

"The Trump administration is dismantling a $368 million deep-ocean observation system that was put in place a decade ago to monitor coastal environments, marine ecosystems and powerful currents that affect the global #climate. The #NSF said it would send ships in June to begin removing more than 900 deep-sea instruments anchored off Oregon, Washington State, Alaska, North Carolina, and an area between Greenland and Iceland known as the Irminger Sea."

Update. There are good political reasons to observe, record, and protest #ICE agents, even with no expectation that you'll change their behavior. But it turns out there's empirical evidence that this kind of observation reduces violence.

From sociologist #NicoleBedera: "The vast majority of men are only willing to engage in public violence if they feel like the people around them will approve of — and reward them for — that violence. #ICEWatch works because it surrounds men seeking approval with people loudly expressing their 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘭…There are countless videos from ICE Watch observers that show agents leaving without detaining anyone after they encounter resistance."

"Columbia University, which has faced criticism for not striking a more defiant stand against efforts by the Trump administration to set its agenda, showed signs late Monday of adopting a tougher tone. In a note sent to the campus, the acting president [Claire Shipman] pledged that the school would not allow the federal government to 'require us to relinquish our independence and autonomy.' The message came less than 12 hours after #Harvard became the first university to refuse to comply with the administration’s demands."

"In an unprecedented move, the US #NIH has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities.” NIH staff members have been instructed to identify and potentially cancel grants for projects studying transgender populations, #gender identity, diversity, equity and inclusion (#DEI) in the scientific workforce, [or] #environmentaljustice…Grants that allot funding to universities in #China and those related to #climate change are also under scrutiny. 'It’s extremely alarming that grants that have been vetted by the scientific community and deemed important and impactful to understand the world are now being cancelled because of political ideology,' says Lisa Fazio, a cognitive psychologist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, who studies misinformation.
