The main event of Farcaster this week definitely seems to be farcon, but I do think it’s worth noting another milestone moment: a major global news breaking on Warpcast. 

I first found out about the Iberian blackout on here, thanks to casters in
Spain alerting me to the news. 

I wound up monitoring a lot of the heated debate that followed over the cause on X. But those early casts gave me a glimpse of how this could develop as a platform for real news.

well this was an interesting way to start the farcon week. no comms or power during the entire day here in Portugal.

the good news is that I was able to wrap up building this set.

this is very interesting. when the blackout was over (without internet or comms the entire day as well) I immediately thought it was a known fact and only mentioned it briefly at https://warpcast.com/alvesjtiago.eth/0x37a7c5bb. your cast made me realize that we could all play a bigger part on getting information out there and not assume that it is known / has been broadcasted.
