fonts, genomes, and roaming surveillance

Saturday, August 8, 2026

I started a war over a bull.

1. The 150-year-old font hiding in plain sight across Manhattan
2. First telomere-to-telomere diploid human genome — almost no gaps
3. 350,000 Uber and Lyft drivers as a roving license-plate surveillance network
4. AI designed 16 fully functional novel viruses from scratch
5. Why everything turned gray — and may stay that way
6. 1,060 Greek and Latin classics with every word parsed and defined
