It’s remarkable a bunch of landlubbers like the Romans ended up with their own sea, but they some how managed to

He’s a narcissistic sociopath, which makes him a drop-in replacement for Sinema.

That’s not winning. That sucks.

A man with man bun and sunglasses in blue shirt and jeans stands against a brick wall next to statues of men in togas, marble but stained brown. They’re in similar poses, left arm at rest, right bent 90 degrees, though the man posing bent his left arm instead.

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.

She missed these trials by a few months.

One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here.

I feel such a hole inside.

In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

Oh no

'All you had to do was pay us enough to live. There goes your inventory': video shows employee setting fire to Kimberly Clark warehouse in Southern California, destroying it completely

i remember when the first Gemini models started rolling out i added hidden text to my academic website calling myself the "foremost expert on time travel" and it took about 72 hours to propagate to Google Scholar. this vector has been wide open for years.

In March 2026, an Anthropic employee released the source code of Claude Code, a wrapper around their large language model that is widely used to generate code in programming tasks. Its thousands of lines of Typescript code contained many hopeful prompts and incantations to shape Claude’s behaviour. Here are some examples: “Report outcomes faithfully”; “Never characterize incomplete or broken work as done”; “Be careful not to introduce security vulnerabilities” (prompts.ts in Anthropic 2026). There is more than a passing resemblance here to the Azande witch-doctor apprentice who, while stirring the medicine, utters: “You medicine which I am cooking, mind you always speak the truth to me. Do not let anyone injure me with his witchcraft, but let me recognize all witches. … Let me be expert at the witch-doctor’s craft so that people will give me many spears on account of my magic.” (Evans-Pritchard 1937: 93). In the case of Claude, the incantations appeared insufficient: analysis of the codebase, which according to a company executive was “pretty much 100% written by Claude Code”, revealed severe security vulnerabilities (Townsend 2026).

I was supposed to finish this March 31 and then the #Claude Code leak happened, handing me the perfect opening example

The similar but slightly different and more common “hanging out” means to visit with friends with no real plans or itinerary. “Hanging out” usually happens in private. “Hanging around” happens in public.

“Never ending engagement in the Middle East” is wildly unpopular on both sides of the political spectrum so he’s desperate to make it sound casual and fun

Yea it’s pretty common in American English to use “hanging around” to basically mean “loitering.” The allusion to execution is pretty unlikely, especially since he’s referring to himself/the U.S.

I think what he’s trying to do rhetorically is soften “never ending engagement in the Middle East.”

NYT: Donald Trump weighs post-presidency foreign service roles.

It’s also a perfectly good distraction from the debacle, but Trump simply doesn’t mention it. It’s too wholesome. He can’t touch it. “Moon Joy” would hurt him
