If you're wondering why the Internet has gotten worse the past decade, here's why.

8 to 10 million gallons of raw sewage is pouring into the Merrimack River in Massachusetts every single day since Friday.

The beaches are closed. No swimming. No fishing. No boating. No 4th of July celebrations.

Maura Healey was more focused on giving illegals housing than making sure the sewage infrastructure was up to par.

Democrats destroy everything they touch.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and the Minnesota Board of Pardons granted a pardon to Tou Lue Vang, an immigrant convicted of s-xually ab*sing a 10-year-old, helping prevent his deportation, according to NYT.

I’ll never forgive them for not giving us an entire movie about Calypso and Davy Jones’ tragic love story.

@monsterhunter45 They get big "sales" numbers also because they are handed out free to campaign workers.

I am super excited to have USAID no longer funding these things.

Anthropic is literally becoming the AI villain:

- Not communicating updates people care about
- Limiting usage of the best model
- Making a big deal about small things (Sonnet 5)

OpenAI looks like the hero now:

- Lots of updates from the team constantly
- Lots of usage resets (free usage)
- Eating the cost of their best model

I don't run a trillion dollar company, but this seems so shortsighted to me. Anthropic was CRUSHING OpenAI six months ago, but all of these decisions are slowly catching up to them and hurting customer sentiment.

Obviously the Fable situation with the U.S. Government is not easy to handle, but you can come out of it looking like the hero. Anthropic is not doing that. Instead, they're going to limit the included plan usage and then immediately switch models or charge more?? I don't get it, someone explain the logic?

I was fully out on OpenAI. Today, I use Codex and GPT-5.5 more than Claude/Opus. I wouldn't have thought that was possible a few months ago. I was Claude-pilled HARD.

All of this is a great lesson for the rest of us:

1. Communicate often and honestly
2. Don't cover up important things with trivial things
3. Give a ton of value for the cost

There's still time for Anthropic to save this, but they're definitely not trending in the right direction.

@UpdatingOnRome Jesus, the old "Trump is a Nazi" garbage again? Trump is far from a perfect human, but I wish they would ACTUALLY look up what fascism actually represented

Cheat units in games! The truth revealed!

There are two main sources of cheats, historically. The first is programmer-driven, and appears when the devs need to quickly solve a level or get to some pertinent event quickly. The coders insert cheats to allow this. Doom’s infamous IDSPISPOPD let you clip through walls to get across a level fast. IDCLEV25 warps you to Episode 2, Level 5. These were all to speed the playtesting tasks for John Romero and me.

@NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani This is a lie. You balanced the budget by borrowing billions from the NY state government which pushed back pension payments, so you literally took money from "the backs of hardworking people."

Don’t get it twisted.
