AI Data Centers on Public Land (opens the original)
Read excerpt
ederal agencies are quietly turning tens of thousands of acres of western public lands into expedited, cheap real estate for AI data centers. Between amended solar permits, 100-megawatt fast-track loopholes, thousands of unmonitored backup diesel generators, and 5,000-gallon chemical spills, the government is treating public ground as a permission slip for big tech rather than a shared resource. We break down the paper trail, local revolts, and who profits when compute meets land. https://fof.fo
Killer Robots: The UN Autonomous Weapons Non-Treaty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twelve years, one dead human rights lawyer’s warning, and the UN just produced a document with all the teeth of a permission slip. The US and Russia agreed on something for once: delete the word “ethics” from the paragraph about robots that decide who dies. Meanwhile a defense startup raised $5 billion in May and is pouring concrete on a factory in Ohio. Nobody’s waiting for Geneva. We talk about why “we can’t tie our hands because China won’t” is exactly backwards, and why losing this fight in
Space Force Guardians: Wardrobe Malfunction? (opens the original)
Read excerpt

It's Working: Flooding The Zone (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Joshua sat down Monday to pick this week’s episode, opened 3 tabs, and closed all 3 without picking anything. In his defense there were about 40. 🗂️ In 1984 a psychologist named Karl Weick published a paper explaining why people who care enormously about enormous problems reliably do nothing about them. Short version: make a problem big enough and the human brain quietly logs off. He was writing about social policy for an academic journal nobody outside psychology reads. 34 years later Steve Ban
Deep Into 2027: Iran War Leak (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Christopher Lloyd (no relation) bought a flatbed in 2024 for $187,000. In 2026 he stopped washing it. A truck wash is $130, which is nothing, and it’s the most articulate decision in this whole episode. 🛢️ Working out why took us to 1987, to 1973, and into a $12.1 billion quarter that a CEO called “disciplined investment.” Somewhere in there is one number that tells you exactly how long this war runs. Analysts already know it. They’re saying “deep into 2027.” 🚛 https://fof.foundation theoverlap@
