Weekend Links - Information Warfare and Brave New Worlds
Piglets! Once again all my love and apologies for my abandonment. I’m still figuring out how to make this pivot to a new space work best, but my personal life admin is a shocking wreck right now. The first long weekend of the year notwithstanding, my house is a wreck and my professional life’s demands are still too heavy. But I need to write to stay sane so here, have a nice meaty dump of links as my penance to you.

Well, ain’t this just wholesome!
And here’s your pretty for the weekend:
