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.

also, a good insight in the comments - the primary sources were *masterfully* captured by pool photographers. not only do we have a worthwhile challenge to augment correspondence software, but I'd further and say farcaster inevitably ends up in the press pool itself. we should coordinate both challenges in that frame.

That’s huge do you think Farcaster could seriously rival X for breaking news in the future?

News ruins everything as journalists and politics follow closely behind.
