🚨 Anthropic just showed a 27-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude.

Taught by the people who built it.

Free. No registration. No paywall.

I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.

Watch it and bookmark it now.

I’m actually speechless…

@Spoonamore @TorMichaelsShow @centre_gop @GopCentre @centregop Thanks. Or if not, you can just tell me the date of the ep you're on I'll find it in there. All best.

Didn’t take long for that to come home to roost, huh?

And, like always, we’re stuck with the bill.

@Nat_Dowzicky @reason I love a lot of your work at Reason but ... Is it ok if I flag videos with a warning at the end when they contain crazy theories about harms caused by people and societies working on helping people out. :) Cheers.

2025 likely had the lowest *absolute* number of murders since 1968. Think about how big of a new story the rise in murder was. Nobody cares about an even more remarkable decline. Pessimism has won regardless of what's happening in reality. https://t.co/Br4f1TeTQM

NO G. Greenwald. But this is great.

You won't hear a better 55-second description of MAGA and Trump than this: in terms of the perspective of any minimally honest MAGA supporter:

[ᗰᗩƳᖇᗩ @LePapillonBlu2]

Listen to what this psychologist has to say:

"Trump has the most severe personality disorder a human being can have.”

“The world is in a hell lot of trouble, because the most powerful man in the world is both evil and demented."

@ClipGD @NASA @Astro_Christina @astro_reid That’s it. They only get one pass. Wow. Ok.

@newstart_2024 Fucking hell. Your sources matter. Anyone is a better source for this info than vile JP.

Girls are hitting puberty earlier than ever before — and the numbers are shocking.

In the late 1800s, the average age was around 16–17. By the early 1900s it had dropped to 12.5–13. Today it’s down to about 11, with some Black and Hispanic girls showing signs as early as 8, 9, or even 6–7 years old — the earliest recorded in history.

Patrick Bet-David asked FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary why this is happening.

Makary pointed to the modern environment: constant exposure to substances and chemicals with estrogen-like binding properties (found even in river water) that partially activate estrogen receptors. He called it a “huge issue” and an existential threat to human development, noting the age has been dropping by about a week and a half every year for the last 30 years.

He also mentioned that in Europe, where some of these exposures may be lower, puberty still starts later (14–15 in some cases), and that American medicine has largely treated this as a minor footnote rather than a priority.

It’s a sobering conversation that makes you wonder what’s really changing our children’s biology so rapidly.

What do you think is driving this dramatic shift in puberty timing?

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Jonathan Haidt dropped a pretty blunt warning about giving young kids iPads or phones.

He says we’ve all discovered how incredibly effective they are as pacifiers — they work almost instantly. But that’s exactly the problem.

40% of American two-year-olds already have their own iPad. Once a child gets used to constant stimulation, they basically never learn how to be bored. The moment they have even 30 seconds of downtime, they start screaming for the device.

Haidt’s advice is straightforward: If you haven’t started, don’t. If you already have, take it away. It might take 3–4 weeks for the brain to readjust, but it’s worth it.

He’s even hearing stories of preschoolers crying at drop-off — not because mom is leaving, but because the iPad is staying in the car.

It’s a sobering reminder of how quickly these devices rewire young brains and create real addiction patterns.

Have you noticed this with kids in your life, or are you trying to hold the line on screens with little ones?

@FurkanGozukara You can’t get a better source for this or any information than Candace Owens?

[Robert Cohen 🌻 @DocOrgone]

@Spoonamore yup

[Robert Cohen 🌻 @DocOrgone]

@mattvanswol You're such a liar. You know they were not standing for Trumps lies and gross misuse of her suffering. He was talking about blood spewing out right in front of the mother but that didn't bother you at all. What a fake you are.

[Robert Cohen 🌻 @DocOrgone]

@elonmusk 😂😂😂

[Robert Cohen 🌻 @DocOrgone]

@Spoonamore Just opens this again and of course spot on but unsurprisingly it reads more spot on today and will continue to do so. Alas.

my main mantra of what I can know for sure: it is going to get much worse before it can get any better. Sigh.

🧵The best response to the bogus decision by the IOC @Olympics to ban the helmet of @heraskevych and silence the memory of Ukrainian athletes murdered by russia, is to see their faces, learn their names and share it with the world!

They want it gone, we’ll show it everywhere!🇺🇦

Body cam footage, released after months of court battles, shows Border Patrol agents in Chicago steering into American teacher Marimar Martinez before shooting her five times, contradicting DHS claims she “ambushed” them.
