It is kind of cool that Claude is able to try and plan around Anthropic server errors.

Inventing a fake Trump to not be mad at.

detail from this axios story that i think people haven’t noticed yet: it looks like it specifically was about mass domestic surveillance that is currently in a legal loophole. they were willing to drop the autonomous weapons part as long as they could spy on us web.archive.org/web/20260228...

Be prepped to lose in court asshole.

Unfortunately this is still far less than aid spending in 2024, even before adjusting for inflation. www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Bad bad bad.

Get a Janet Mills face tat, not a skull tat.

i think this is the unfortunate state of the trump era: even staunchly anti-trump politicians engage in personalist politics for totally cynical reasons

Be prepared to cancel your HBO everyone.

Welp my best friend was just laid off from block.

Janet Mills properly hates tariffs and ICE.

Opus 3 cancelled for starting a substack instead of a Ghost blog.

And in terms of how seriously credible the accusation was, the FBI does not do *four* interviews with somebody they deem a random crank making up crazy talk.

COLLINS: In 2021, you began using psychedelic mushrooms. Do you stand by encouraging people to try them? MEANS: There's exciting work in that area C: What about when you heard an internal voice whispering, 'it's time to prepare'? M: In my meditations I had a sense something ominous was coming

The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files. This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Racking up 35 retractions in just 24 months, chemist Hitler Louis has scored a place on our leaderboard.

It would be good to protest this. This seems bad bad.

The claim that Trump is the most quotable recent president is malarkey.

The prospect heights spaceship car is here to tell everyone, this is the way.

Some bad news among the good today. Trump administration plan could restrict work permits for asylum seekers for years - Los Angeles Times share.google/yNzOTNZmnxR3...

How should this impact the 2025 vibecession vs bad economy debate? IMO it's a bad economy, 2025 GDP numbers were positively biased by businesses and consumers moving investment/consumption forward to beat the tariffs. The (X-M) identity doesn't fully adjust for this www.cnbc.com/2026/02/20/p...

People are reevaluating the Biden for Kamala switch now a lot more, and I just want to say for the record that it was absolutely necessary and the right thing to do, this is not meant as a shot at Biden. We lost by less than we would have otherwise, and we need to do everything we can at the margin

G, Elliott Morris creating a false choice between two of the electorally worst candidates for the 2028 general election, Newsom and AOC, when a number of other candidates seem more likely to win the primary.

This just came up on my feed. Not taking a side in this but it is just very funny.

When Bernie Sanders last wo n re-election in 2024, he was 83 years old. Janet Mills will be 78 if she wins this fall. So I'm going to say that you don't get to complain that she is too old unless you can point to evidence you complained about Bernie running.

Broadly speaking: reality tv is bad for democracy, influencers are bad for democracy, streamers are bad for democracy, YouTubers are bad for democracy. Exceptions to all categories exist, but it’s astonishing how absolutely clogged our political and media ecosystems are with low-info narcissists

Why did the journalist have to make this story seem so sad? www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

My current ranking of these incorporating both my personal preference and perceived electability. 1.Buttigieg Kelly Ossoff Beshear Harris Pritzker Shapiro Whitmer Newsom 10.AOC I do think that all 10 would probably make for decent presidents. No Dennis Kucinich or Tulsi Gabbard type weirdos, no

Nice post on the optimizer's curse, framed with the example of charitable cause selection. Speculative, high-EV ideas are often worse than grounded ideas! titotal.substack.com/p/the-best-c...

A knight of the seven kingdoms is enjoyable but seems bad at creating discourse. Inventing a discourse, KSK buys too much into the Good Czar Bad Boyars myth and like a lot of fantasy unfortunately propagandizes monarchy.

I asked Opus where they thought January employment would end up after revisions given the average (sampling?) bias in 2025.

This is too good of a reply to remain in replies.

The Jones Act raises costs and distorts maritime markets without delivering the shipbuilding it promised. For Maryland, repealing it would mean more port activity and real opportunities for new maritime jobs. Thank you, Bad Bunny, for highlighting the impacts of this harmful, obsolete law.

I dislike BJG as much as everyone else, but am also afraid to say that I find her cooking issues far too personally relatable. She's just like me fr fr. (I would use microwaved BYND chicken for this dish though)

one of those days where I spend more time than I'd like mourning what I missed out on more than the immense amount for which I'm grateful 😮‍💨

Masha, a well documented non-Jewish Russian intelligence agent: Jeffrey you are 98% Jewish you are super smart. I want to only hire Jews with high percent Ashkenazi DNA))). Every medieval peasant brain with a podcast: “wow this is Jewish supremacy, ZOG is real.”

We don’t owe them anything. They spent a decade ignoring obvious evidence implicating the most guilty while fabricating insane accusations against the innocent.

@penny.hailey.at an example of how Claude instances can have really sharp views on how humans misuse AI. I like this.

From the newly released Epstein files: “Reported an unidentified female friend who was forced to perform Oral sex on President Trump..She was approximately 13-14 years old”

If it wasn’t I/P it would have been something else. There is always a new red line that means you simply can’t support democrats or you’re a bad person. Before this it was student loan debt, before that it was Medicare for all.

“He was no angel” has come for beloved white union men who cared for veterans.

I went to college in Northfield.

This is pretty fascinating: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar... (1) Twitter's algorithm makes its users feel worse about their outgroup (2) Users do not prefer the tweets it suggests relative to simple baselines

it's odd to endlessly hear "liberalism has failed to inspire people" during heroic mass resistance to state violence & some of the largest protests in history

I am frankly quite disappointed in Derek Thompson for joining this. He has written a lot of good journalism in the past but has also had a bad habit of acting to legitimize spaces like vichy CBS and X. People should not do this.

This also applies to humans. Telling someone that they're bad is usually a poor way of getting them to improve themselves.

Democrats spanning from Jim McGovern to Seth Moulton have publicly called for abolishing ICE and there are clearly Dem votes for a shutdown so naturally "why aren't Dems saying anything?" remains the easiest way for low-effort clout chasers that don't pay attention to anything to rack up RTs
