Did I just hear correctly that Morocco’s team only has one player born in Morocco?
Community note
Morocco's 2026 World Cup squad has 7 players born in Morocco out of 26, not 1. compas.ox.ac.uk/article/pride-…

Such great marketing. Reminds me of when this shoe company got the NBA to ban their shoes for making you jump too high

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Reminder that I became a trillionaire almost 18 months ago when I went to Vietnam.

Should I buy Ryan Air and put someone whose actual name is Ryan in charge?

Flexport is an endlessly fun thing to sell:
Infinite deal size and variation
See inside the worlds great companies
Guided tours of historical sites by @typesfast if you make Presidents Club

During a pitch a prominent VC once told us the market size for global logistics was only $6B.
My CFO’s response: “So you’re saying it’s smaller than the market for USB cables?”

I was once pitching in a board room at a top 3 VC firm for a $15M Series A.
12 people in the meeting. One of the GPs fully fell asleep. Out cold for 30 minutes. Nobody acknowledged it. Everyone just kept going.
I kept presenting my Series A slides to an unconscious man in a Herman Miller chair and somehow that was considered normal. That's venture capital.
You might fly across the country to perform for people who may or may not be conscious.
It's a dance.
And sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow and sometimes your partner is unconscious.
If you're raising right now, just know: every founder has a story like this. The process is weird. The power dynamic is weird. You're not crazy for thinking it's weird.
No one talks about it because they want to continue raising. But I'm happy to stick my neck out there.
It is weird.

Here is @SpaceX's full IPO roadshow presentation from CFO Bret Johnson, who has been CFO at the company for the last 15 years.
It's worth watching.

The Trump administration just took massive positive steps to crack down on the tariff fraud I’ve been ranting about for the last year. Credit where it’s due this is great policy.
