S2 E1: Claude supercharges scientific research, Bitmine bets $200M on MrBeast's DeFi empire, Starlink helps Iranians circumvent severe internet blackout, and much more.

For those who have wanted to know, “what’s the tea with AI?” since the beginning of 2025, there hasn’t been a more consistent source than TEA (The Era Arc).

That’s why I was so happy to announce last month that the creator of The Era Arc would be coming to the pages of Cities Decoded.

Every Monday and Tuesday, I have the privilege of sending out the Daily TEA alongside this creator. Every Friday, I have the privilege of promoting their NEW series where they review the latest AI products. And if you want to know the TEA on Wednesdays or Thursdays…it’s always on the Cities Decoded website!

In addition, I am so excited to announce the monthly TEA where The Era Arc and I break down some of the best stories from the past month of daily TEAs.

For Jan 2026, we have:
