@jeffmcneill The email situation's interesting.
On the one hand, it's TCP/IP networking which routes mail, though it might be possible to apply the peering notion to mail servers rather than network peers.
(Technically, of course, VOIP also operates over TCP/IP, though that's only a subset of total phone traffic, and ... I'm not entirely clear on how that might operate.)
The next question is whether or not it would make sense for individual email servers to be bonded. That probably splits sensibly into a few categories:
Large email service providers: Gmail, iCloud (Apple), Outlook (Microsoft), Yahoo, Proton, etc.
Individuals operating their own servers (families, small groups, generally not business-oriented).
Businesses and organisations self-serving email for their own employees.
Other online services with an email notification component: FB, Fediverse servers, Reddit, Pagerduty, etc. These serve third party email, rather than just personal or own staff, often notifications though potentially user-generated messages as well.
Mailing lists. This is a common sticking point for other anti-spam proposals. (See classically: https://craphound.com/spamsolutions.txt, and yes this is a somewhat market-based solution.)
Mail-campaign services. Generally: sales/marketing emails, such as Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, etc. Third-party mail, generated by the third parties and generally sent in mass to large numbers of fourth parties.
Black-hat "bulletproof" email providers. Spamhauser.
Proxy servers. Individual systems hijacked by third parties to send spam.
Questions:
- Does it make sense to bond each of these classes?
- How much should that bond be / how should a bond be computed?
- What is excessive (say, for individuals), what is insufficient (say, for major email service providers), to permit legit mail, but discourage spam?
- What forms of abuse might be triggered through such a system? Spurious claims, joe-jobs, and the like, say? How should those be mitigated or addressed?
- Who can file claims, who gets paid?
I'm not going to answer those, it's for discussion. I think there might be some viability to this. It's not a per message postage concept ("microtransactions"), but instead an aggregated and risk-based skin-in-the-game notion.
I do think that bulletproof hosters and proxies would be pretty well addressed, while large services and marketing providers would be strongly incentivised to clean up their acts. Smaller servers should be reasonably OK under this schema, and might aggregate to a large pooled bond (small servers already often have to direct outbound through a larger provider already).

A really neat Chemical Science paper has been picked up by Chemistry World.
The study explores electron-sharing and dative bonding and the results suggest that single-electron bonding frameworks may be more common than first thought.
Bonding is always an interesting (and frequently controversial!) area and it frequently provides new surprises!

The Portland OR women's basketball team went into quadruple overtime in today's game. They were all punch drunk tired and giving it their all.
My dad and I were riveted, on the edge of our seats, loving every minute of it. It was a great game, made more so by just enjoying the little things in life with a 90-something firecracker dad. I don't have cable, I don't watch games without him, but games with him are always looked forward to.

The Weather of Our First Reaching
In the luminous space between mother and child, attachment becomes the first language of love — a silent exchange shaping how we trust, connect, and heal. This reflection explores the invisible architecture of early bonds, where psychology meets poetry and the heart learns its first rhythm of belonging.https://thereflectivemind9.wordpress.com/2026/06/18/the-weather-of-our-first-reaching/

All over the place – AuDHD edition
As I start writing this, Koa has been living with me for 24 days now. It will be a little more, once this post goes "live". Lately, I have been sharing posts about the joys and struggles of living with a young puppy. The love I feel growing, being proud of this little dude with every new thing he is slowly learning, feeling my brain rest when I see him peacefully sleeping. But also, the worries, the broken sleep, the doubts... Knowing that I know, but being worried that I can't do what I should be doing... The constant fear, being fed by my cPTSD, it's keeping my brain at a certain awareness level, it seems. If course, with a puppy in the house, it' good to have the spider-senses working, as they can be very mischievous, and get themselves in trouble in the blink of an eye. But when you keep doubting yourself, when you are "expecting" results, or when you're just eager to get to the point of those results, and you're pushing too hard... Well, as I have recently shared here, and as I have shared in the past, just with other topics making me feel that way... I feel my brain is all over the place at the moment. And I struggle to deal with that at times. […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/27/all-over-the-place-audhd-edition/

If you are a dog lover, and have given one or many safety across the whole life journey, I so recommend this heart-warming movie, Caramelo.
Rarely have I seen the potential connection so well portrayed as in the later sequences of the film.
Incredibly touching and real.#dog #movie #animals #bonding #film #Brazilian #dogparenting #animalsentience #recommendation

🧠 #Consciousness & #Bonding🔗 – how does #unity arise in #experience✨?
Our consciousness appears coherent – yet countless processes are running in parallel in the brain.
In the #Zoomposium with #WolfSinger, we explore this question from a #neuroscientific perspective.

“We are lonesome animals. We spend all of our life trying to be less lonesome. One of our ancient methods is to tell a story begging the listener to say—and to feel—‘yes, that is the way it is, or at least that’s the way I feel it. You’re not as alone as you thought.’”
