This is an excellent resource for tracking threats to the election processes during the US Midterms on Nov 3rd. Highly recommend.

🟢 LOW CREDIBILITY: We continue to assess that reports of 'plague' in Russia are of poor sourcing quality, low-credibility, and pose minimal risk, if any, to others. Bookmark the tracker, continuously updated.

SCOOP: Last week the National Design Studio announced a new AI website, America.gov. Turns out some NDS workers are on loan to the government and are actually employed by a newly formed nonprofit, founded by the general counsel of SpaceXAI who is himself a DOGE alum.

🟢 UPDATE: Our Irkutsk 'plague' tracker has been continuously monitoring reports for any credible information, and our assessment of LOW credibility remains unchanged. Our assessment will update in real-time, if warranted. Bookmark our tracker here.

And yeah, to be clear, we're tracing the information warfare. Compared to the 'plague' itself, it is the real story.

@davetroy.comOct 6, 2026, 6:14 PM

Not especially, yet at least. Let's keep eyes on the facts.

@davetroy.comOct 6, 2026, 5:53 PM

"appeared" and "showing" doing a lot of lifting there.

@davetroy.comOct 6, 2026, 5:27 PM

Absolutely idiotic. Even if this is 'real,' if it's as deadly as reported it will burn out quickly and be a regional concern. Stop spreading nonsense.

@davetroy.comOct 6, 2026, 5:18 PM

🛑 NEW: Reports of 'plague' in Irkutsk, Russia have set off a wave of speculation and anxiety. To help combat misinformation, we have setup a live tracker to continuously assess new claims. As of right now: reports have LOW credibility. Read more here.

Yeah. Those came out at a time he may have noticed that, also.

Trump is warning of a "final battle" against Democrats, who he calls "communists, Marxists, and fascists". He is using OUR taxpayer dollars to fund these ads calling us Democrats "the enemy". This is illegal and unconstitutional, like everything else he does.

I'm generally avoiding the 'contemporary political memoir' genre. Not that they're not valid but they often are self-promotional and contain little in the way of insights.

Some of us in San Francisco first heard of the Network State and related tech cults from Emily Mills.

She documented how these ideas had infused our local politics. It sounded odd at first, but her work sparked mine.

On Tuesday, we're onstage together in SF.
