My opinion is that Mythos is the current best model but not actually some world-changing dangerous model, and that anthropic did their usual song and dance about safety largely because they didn’t have enough compute to serve it at scale So then they launched Fable because they still have to think about the IPO, but they are still somewhat compute limited so they put all sorts of restrictions on it Around the same time, because they are trying to get regulatory capture and not because things are actually dangerous, Dario did more scaremongering and published his honestly confusing white paper that offered no real solutions So finally they succeeded, they managed to freak out the government, their cynical plan backfired, and now it’s a giant pain in the ass

New favorite phrase “fractal wrongness”

For America 250, the Right shouldn't try to replicate the Left's culture and end up with Vanilla Ice on stage. Instead, we should have Elon launch rockets with big American flags. Get NASCAR drivers to spin donuts in front of the White House. Own it.

I was wondering why are they making a big deal about a job that will be finished in under a month then it hit me, confession through projection. If the CA dems ran this project it would take months or years. They fully expected a empty pool all summer at the peak of DC tourism. The idea it would be done on time never even entered their minds.

When your Hermes Agent PC hard crashes and you need Claude's help to recover all your agent sessions and Claude's on break. I guess I'll... go outside. (j/k. Codex is working on it)

When you stand against Israel, you drift away from standing for America. I am not saying this because the Mossad pays me. I am not saying it because I began as a supporter of Israel and then bent my other positions to fit. I had no such loyalty. I arrived at this conclusion the way you arrive at a wall in the dark, by walking straight into it. I am an apostate from the Middle East. I left Islam and still managed to live in the region for fifteen years afterward, under threat, yes, but quiet enough to survive. Leaving Islam is a death-level offense there. I moved to the United States a couple of months before October 7. I had no plan to stand publicly with Israel. None. Because in the world I come from, standing with Israel is not merely a sin, it is the sin above all sins, heavier even than apostasy. A man can leave Islam in secret. Standing with the Jews is open treason against the whole order. My plan was to build a platform, comment on Islam, use the freedom of speech I could never touch back home. That was all. Then October 7 happened, and I understood that the monster I had fled was already here. It had crossed into the West ahead of me. The same force that erased the Christian civilizations of the Middle East, that strangled and stagnated the region for fourteen centuries packaged itself inside a product the West was already eager to buy. Anti-Zionism is easy to sell, and so people are buying the thing that will dismantle their own civilization while believing they are buying a popular cause. They think the box says “anti-Zionism.” They do not know what is inside it. You can't be anti-Zionist today without serving the cause of Islam, because Islam is what is inside the box. And you can't serve the cause of Islam without working against America, because America is the next civilization on the list. Against Israel, for Islam, against America, it is one line.

Dear Lord Above - here we go again.... Hello Congresswoman..... Sounds like you got this weeks talking points about vanity projects, yada yada yada.... We've already corrected you colleague. Now its your turn it looks like... The National Mall including the Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool is managed by the National Park Service. This restoration project is exactly the type of project the Great America Outdoors Act and Legacy Restoration Fund was created to address - maintenance backlogs. Once again, Congress overwhelmingly voted for it, Democrats and Republicans alike. We supported it because the oil and gas royalties we pay are directed into both of these funds. Not entrance fees. Oil and gas royalties from federal lands. Once again, the upgrade to the National Mall is brought to you by your friends in the US Oil & Gas Association. And finally, again -- here is a report from the Congressional Research Service. Have you staff read it and tell you what it says.... congress.gov/crs-product/IF…

Imagine spending your whole life becoming an academic expert. Then a random guy online tells you that you are wrong about your own field. And he's right. But you can never admit that. Because it would mean admitting that your life was a lie. That is the dilemma of many academics.

Occasional reminder that @LeaderJohnThune allowed democrats to blow up the appropriations deal in exchange for absolutely nothing because two communists died trying to kill ICE agents

26me: Hi, 2020me. Now that you’ve voted for Biden, I’ve come to tell you the future: You’re going to vote for Trump. Best administration of your life. But the *Republican* senate will block everything the voters want most. Hakeem Jeffries will accidentally be the silver lining. Oh: put all your net worth in NVDA. 2020me: eff off, you lunatic.

LA has a choice. Vote Spencer Pratt.

This is a real photo of university students in Iran in 1971. A few years later the government forced all women to cover their heads with hijabs. It happened so fast. So forgive me if I’m not amused by AOC and Mamdani wearing garments that represent this oppression of women.

Democrats: “Look straight white men!!! It's a straight white man eating meat! Will you vote to let us put men in your daughters' locker rooms now!!” Answers still no.

John Thune be like “At least I didn’t pass the SAVE Act.”

Something really interesting could happen in KY-04 this November...Vote Libertarian.

Hello Senator Thune, I'm replying to your post from yesterday: "Despite Democrats' partisan games, we're still going to get the entire federal government funded." Today, you sent the Senate home... not because of Democrats. Because of you. Here's what actually happened. On May 18, the DOJ announced an Anti-Weaponization Fund: $1.776 billion to compensate Americans harmed by Biden-era DOJ abuse. Your own caucus revolted. After a two-hour closed-door meeting, you departed for Memorial Day recess without a vote. ICE and CBP funding, punted to June 1. The "partisan games," it turns out, were yours. Your stated objections: no congressional authorization, no eligibility standards, no legal precedent, executive overreach. Fine. But let's talk about November 2025, when you tucked a provision into the government funding bill. The FBI had quietly seized phone records from eight Republican senators without notice, under an investigation codenamed "Arctic Frost." Your provision gave those senators, and only those senators, $500,000 per violation, retroactive to 2022. The House voted 426-0 to repeal it. The critics weren't opposed to compensating victims of DOJ abuse. They were opposed to senators compensating themselves while doing no other structural reforms. Lindsey Graham held the Senate hostage to preserve it. He delayed a spending deal in January 2026 to secure a floor vote on his revised version. Let's put the two columns next to each other: ➤ DOJ abused senators: $500K/violation payout, senators only, no hearings, no process, no eligibility debate, no floor vote on substance. ➤ DOJ abused Americans: "very legitimate questions," two-hour meeting, Senate goes home, reconciliation punted, June 1 deadline in jeopardy. You told Punchbowl News you "did not personally see a need for this fund." You personally saw a need for the fund when the targets were you. Go cry harder to your Punchbowl friends @JakeSherman and @AndrewDesiderio, because at this rate, they'll soon become the only people who are buying what you're selling.

Incredible video. Spot on. Copy/paste for every city. For journalism at @uaustinorg, Nate chose (not assigned, lol!) to go to NGO distribution sites in Austin. No problem. He didn't know his "preferred needle gauge", so they gave him a grab bag of assorted needles and pipes and asked if he needed shown how to shoot up. He was 17. It's madness.
