My reaction to @CarlosLozadaC op-ed in today's NYT nytimes.com/2022/10/13/opini…

There is a lot of “Paraguay isn’t very good” talk. Full stop. Under Alfaro, they lost just once in WCQ and went 9 straight without defeat. They beat URG, Brazil, & Argentina. They were one of the best defensive teams in the 🌎. Paraguay isn’t bad. #USMNT made them look bad.

Austin Franco should answer to this. To be this hateful this young is alarming. Im sorry you had to experience this.

This guy looks like a real winner.

Do not hire this guy. He hates Jews. #AustinFranco let’s make him famous.

"Claude usage limit reached. Your limit will reset at 7pm" every. fucking. day. was about to pay $200 for Max. then I read this article 98.5% of tokens - wasted you're not paying for answers. you're paying for Claude to re-read its own homework 30 times spent months blaming Anthropic for being greedy. turns out the problem was how I write prompts 5 minutes of reading basic plan now handles more than my old Max

Haha, Charlotte FC with the ultimate troll move—condolences to KitKat, then "here's 413,000 bars at our game." Pure gold. Soccer stolen chocolate = winning combo. Fans eating good Saturday. Break me off a piece! 🍫⚽

Priceless: Watch how German Chancellor @_FriedrichMerz destroys a "pro-Palestine" protester 👇

I could not agree more. I'm a lifelong democrat, I find most of what Trump does abhorrent, but the reaction on the left to what could be the freeing of 90 million Iranians and the dawn of New Middle East is stunning and disheartening. I'm politically homeless.

A few thoughts: 1) This attack should not have happened without Congressional authorization. This is no mere technicality -- it's the framer's foundational design for how the republic should wage war. 2) Khamenei's death is a great victory, but we've all been on this rollercoaster before. The U.S. and Israelis have taken out lots of leaders and rulers in these long wars. 3) I very very very much want the regime to fall, and I desperately want democracy to take root, but remember, we're ultimately relying in large part on civilian protesters (hopefully with the support of dissenting regime elements) to actually topple the regime. 4) If we rely on protesters (who possess magnificent courage), I'm worried we might see something like what happened to Iraqis who rose up against a defeated Saddam in 1991. It was a bloody massacre. That's a nightmare scenario. 5) Our forces have performed magnificently, and I'm hoping and praying that the Iranian response remains inept and ineffective. But it's dangerous to simply presume that it will. 6) If we take losses (or if we suffer economic disruption) that's when we'll see one of the consequences of failing to go to Congress. We're a divided country. Trump is a mercurial man. 7) Trump's temperament and character are one reason why it's silly to say, "If I'd support this under any other president, I should support this under Trump." He's not like any other president. Bad and dishonest leaders make me less confident in their plans. 8) If, however, the Iranian people can rally, if our attacks can prevent the regime from massacring civilians, then it will be a massive accomplishment and a great day for the U.S., Israel, and the world.

The Iranian people have the right to determine their own future. Germany is coordinating closely with the United States, Israel and partners in the region. We remain committed to peace and security in the region and to Israel’s security.

To you, Zohran Mamdani! You stayed quiet when we have faced massacre, when Islamic Republic assassins were sent here in New York to kill us, stay quiet now! STOP lecturing us Iranians about peace. I don’t feel safe in New York listening to someone like you, Mamdani, who sympathizes with the regime that killed more than 30,000 unarmed Iranians in less than 24 hours. You talk about “safety” of this beautiful city? Listen carefully; Safety without justice means nothing. We Iranians do not allow you to lecture us about war while you had nothing to say when the Islamic Republic shot schoolgirls and blinded more than 10,000 innocent people in the streets. You were busy celebrating the hijab while women of my beloved country Iran were jailed and raped by Islamic Security forces for removing it. And NOW you find your voice to defend the regime? No. I will not let you claim the moral high ground. The people of Iran want to be free. Where were you when they needed solidarity? New York belongs to people who stand against terrorism not those who excuse it. This city is stronger than fear. Stronger than propaganda. Stronger than you think.

Audits in Utah, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, and Georgia found a few dozen possible noncitizen registrants out of millions—and virtually no voting. Trump’s claim that noncitizens are swinging elections is false, says Cato’s @stephen_richer. ow.ly/1LXL50YewC6

"Israeli genocide" is the new blood libel of our time. It will haunt Jewish life for years to come. Together with several friends, I've written an open letter expressing "outrage and contempt" for the accusation. Please sign and circulate. Here's the link: forms.gle/cRcyCRJgq2nV81pn9

After 3 years of using Claude, I can say that it is the technology that has revolutionized my life the most, along with the Internet. So here are 10 prompts that have transformed my day-to-day life and that could do the same for you:

An Abu Dhabi royal backed a secret $500 million investment in Trump’s crypto company. Months later, U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips. on.wsj.com/4qgD3b5

The corruption went into overdrive even before the inauguration. People saying that the American system of checks and balances is holding are detached from reality. When it comes to checking corruption, they don’t seem to exist. wsj.com/politics/policy/spy-…
