Telegram Notes: Occasional Observations

December 29, 2025

Another dinobaby post. No AI unless it is an image. This dinobaby is not Grandma Moses, just Grandpa Arnold.

My new Telegram Notes’ service is coming along. Watch Beyond Search for a link to the stories. We will post a short summary of a story in Beyond Search which I have producing since 2008. The longer Telegram Notes’ essays will appear in the new service. We are testing a couple of options. We have a masthead. The art was produced by Google and Venice smart software. If you know nothing about Telegram, its Messenger Service, or its new financial services, the illustration won’t make much sense. If you know a bit about Telegram, you will know about the GOAT. The references to crypto and other content are references to allegations about the content on the platform.

The working version of the Telegram Notes’ masthead. Thanks, AI services. You are good enough.

Beyond Search will continue to host new articles in our traditional format. However, as we figure out how to best use our time, the flow of stories is likely to be uneven. (Personally I love the GOAT picture. But what’s that on the information highway beneath the GOAT? Probably nothing.
