The document, dated March 11, 2025, focuses specifically on records & communications from the Counter Foreign Information Manipulation & Interference (R/FIMI) Hub, a small office in the #State Dept’s Office of Public Diplomacy that tracked & countered foreign #disinformation campaigns; it was created after the Global Engagement Center (#GEC), which had the same mission, shut down at the end of 2024. #MIT Technology Review broke the news earlier this month that R/FIMI would be shuttered.

Hello from Central Square in Cambridge, which I haven’t visited in many years. I saw a new-to-me coffee shop called The Smoot Standard and I said “I understood that reference” out loud and went inside. The interior signage is on-point. #Boston #MIT

Now that I think of it, Kendall changed wildly too, it was sleepy #MIT, and maybe some startups. Now it just feels like its been taken over by BioPharma concerns.

At least the #Kendall Band is still slightly functional, when thats gone, all is lost.

"New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow returns to the world of Red Team Blues to bring us the origin story of Martin Hench and the most powerful new tool for crime ever invented: the personal computer.

The year is 1986. The city is San Francisco. Here, Martin Hench will invent the forensic accountant — what a bounty hunter is to people, he is to money — but for now he’s an MIT dropout odd-jobbing his way around a city still reeling from the invention of a revolutionary new technology that will change everything about crime forever, one we now take completely for granted.

'Picks And Shovels' is a high-tech crime thriller about the “weird era of PCs” in the early 1980s, when Reaganomics, the tech industry, multilevel marketing, and the AIDS crisis all converged in San Francisco. "—Jacobin

Today I learned about the existence of MIT's giant flywheel, which reportedly has a right of way easement across Cambridge in case it ever falls off track and rolls into the sea. There would be no stopping it.

Also, I learned what a flywheel is.

What a world!

They were quick to identify that Trump’s campaign didn’t really seem to be about fighting antisemitism @ all, but rather about using that fight as a justification for govt overreach. Roth, a historian & the pres. of #Wesleyan told The New Yorker, “Anti-antisemitism can be appropriated by any political movement. They can use that as a vehicle for persecuting researchers & institutions that are not aligned w/the ideology of the person in charge.”

I love that #Harvard has taken a stand against the current administration and chosen not to fold their research efforts. Too much is at stake for the future of citizens of the US and globally. Their website profiles the work of Dr. David Walt. David and I shared a lab while at #MIT. He is a wonderful person and researcher. It is critical that his efforts, and those of scientists around the country, continue.

Here's a letter that I sent to Princeton University President Chris Eisgruber a few weeks ago urging the University to stand firm against the Trump administration's attempt to turn it into the Ivy version of the New College of Florida.

I'm pleased to see Harvard and MIT join the conflict.
