@esaagar I’m very curious what the bottle neck is in this? And due to continued incompetence how vulnerable those bottle necks are to exploitation

Crescent Hollow isn't as sophisticated as Windrose, but we sure do put a ton of love into the naval ship and airship systems! In fact the next patch addresses several naval/airship issues. Check it out on STEAM today 😉: https://t.co/2lUT4whdQw

I mostly avoid commenting on what President Trump says from day to day, while pulling no punches in my assessments, whether positive or negative, of his policy. His Iran ultimatums feel different. Making such threats is a policy. If he were to follow through on them, the consequences would be immediate, irreversible, and catastrophic on a world-historical scale.

So while some will inevitably insist he should be “taken seriously rather than literally,” or that he is executing a sophisticated “madman” strategy in a complex game of 5-D chess, or that he needs everyone’s steadfast support to maximize his leverage, now rather than later seems the time to say that the actions that he is proposing would be a disaster for our country, both strategically and morally, which makes the remarks themselves a terrible mistake.

Simply put, what’s the point of all this? If these are empty threats that we all know he will not carry out, then they are ineffective threats (the Iranians are on X too!), merely making the president and our nation look foolish. If they are not empty threats, then the president is asserting the American position that such actions are acceptable in this situation and ones we are willing to take. We are not living in some quantum thought experiment where he simultaneously is and is not serious. We cannot expect the Iranians, but only the Iranians, will believe him.

Whether the threats are empty or not, we should be willing to say: This is wrong. We should not establish a pattern of threatening escalation from a blockaded strait to elimination of a civilization. We should not launch strikes intended to devastate the lives of millions of people and take our nation to total war without indisputable justification, or before the American people have deliberated upon and assented to the path with full understanding of what total war might mean for them. Those principles are vital to our Republic, independent of whether the strategy could “work.”

But it’s also worth emphasizing that the strategy is a dead end. This war is actively weakening American power, increasing the danger to American citizens, and frustrating the president’s important efforts at addressing our many domestic challenges. It has closed a strait that was previously open, strengthened the incentive for other nations to pursue nuclear weapons, and in this most recent rhetoric made more plausible their use. Our choices for continuing the war appear to be catastrophic escalation of the air war or extensive deployment of ground troops, neither of which were planned or had support at the outset.

Stepping back from these threats and admitting such actions do not offer a path to resolving the conflict may be unpalatable, but it is by far the least unpalatable option available. Let us all hope cooler heads prevail.

Americans are suffering. It is way too expensive just to live for most families. Our cities aren’t safe. Our country is being transformed every day by foreign migration. Our elections aren’t secure. The SAVE act was not passed and won’t be passed. It’s time to end this war in Iran and focus on our country, our people, our future. Far too much of Trump’s second term has been spent on foreign adventures. It has to end. Turn the attention back home.

Anthropic accidentally leaked their entire source code yesterday. What happened next is one of the most insane stories in tech history.

> Anthropic pushed a software update for Claude Code at 4AM.

> A debugging file was accidentally bundled inside it.

> That file contained 512,000 lines of their proprietary source code.

> A researcher named Chaofan Shou spotted it within minutes and posted the download link on X.

> 21 million people have seen the thread.

> The entire codebase was downloaded, copied and mirrored across GitHub before Anthropic's team had even woken up.

> Anthropic pulled the package and started firing DMCA takedowns at every repo hosting it.

> That's when a Korean developer named Sigrid Jin woke up at 4AM to his phone blowing up.

> He is the most active Claude Code user in the world with the Wall Street Journal reporting he personally used 25 billion tokens last year.

> His girlfriend was worried he'd get sued just for having the code on his machine.

> So he did what any engineer would do.

> He rewrote the entire thing in Python from scratch before sunrise.

> Called it claw-code and Pushed it to GitHub.

> A Python rewrite is a new creative work. DMCA can't touch it.

> The repo hit 30,000 stars faster than any repository in GitHub history.

> He wasn't satisfied. He started rewriting it again in Rust.

> It now has 49,000 stars and 56,000 forks.

> Someone mirrored the original to a decentralised platform with one message, "will never be taken down."

> The code is now permanent. Anthropic cannot get it back.

Anthropic built a system called Undercover Mode specifically to stop Claude from leaking internal secrets. Then they leaked their own source code themselves. You cannot make this up.

🇨🇳 🇹🇼 Roughly 2,000 Chinese fishing vessels gathered on Dec. 25, 2025 in unusual geometric formations in the East China Sea about 300 km northeast of Taiwan, according to ship-tracking data analyzed by maritime experts, AFP reports.

The boats lined up in long parallel shapes stretching up to 400 km, holding position for about 30 hours before dispersing. Similar mass gatherings involving roughly 1,000–1,200 vessels were detected again in early January and later again in the same area.

Analysts say the scale and coordination suggest China may be testing its ability to mobilize civilian fleets in a regional crisis, including a possible operation involving Taiwan.

He explicitly says that he's "with Israel" over "isolationist" Americans. In a sane society that kind of statement would be the end of his political career. You shouldn't be pledging your undying loyalty to any foreign country at all, period, much less explicitly placing your loyalty to it over your loyalty to the constituents you were elected to serve.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

So far we’ve heard that although we killed the whole Iranian regime, this was not a regime change war. And although we obliterated their nuclear program, we had to do this because of their nuclear program. And although Iran was not planning any attacks on the US, they also might have been, depending on who you ask. And although we are not fighting this war to free the Iranian people, they are now free, or might be, depending on who seizes power, and we have no idea who that will be. The messaging on this thing is, to put it mildly, confused.

17 Army helicopter crashes in 2024. The midair collision over the Potomac this January. Three fighter jets that simply fell into the Red Sea in April and May. Another whole helicopter crew lost last month. Now this. Unmitigated chaos and incompetence in US military aviation.

Rest in peace brother!!! Thank you for an amazing childhood. The WWF and WCW wouldn't have been the same without Hulk Hogan.
