This is actually insane.

Anthropic released their two newest frontier models on June 9 (Fable 5 and Mythos 5). Three days later, the US government forced them to shut both down for EVERY customer in the world.

These were the most capable AI models ever released. Fable 5 was state-of-the-art on essentially every benchmark, especially for long, complex tasks. Software engineering, vision, scientific research, autonomous agent work. One test compressed months of work on a 50-million-line codebase into a SINGLE DAY.

Mythos 5 is the same underlying model with safeguards lifted in targeted areas. The strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model in the world. Already being used for real drug design and novel scientific hypotheses through Project Glasswing in collaboration with the US government.

Friday at 5:21 PM ET, the Commerce Department hit Anthropic with an export control directive citing national security. It bans access for any foreign national, whether outside the US or working inside the country, including foreign-national Anthropic employees. Giving them access counts as a “deemed export.”

Anthropic had no choice but to disable both models globally to ensure compliance.

The reason: another company claimed to jailbreak Fable 5. Anthropic reviewed the demonstration and says it is a narrow, non-universal exploit that other public models (including GPT-5.5) are also vulnerable to. They call it a misunderstanding and are working to restore access.

Think about that. Two of the most capable AI models in the world, developed with extensive red-teaming with the US government and the UK AI Security Institute, bricked globally over a contested jailbreak claim.

If this becomes the standard, every frontier model launch in the US is at risk going forward.

The precedent is enormous.

A Japanese programmer looked at every existing programming language in 1993, decided none of them made him happy, and spent two years building his own the language he built became the foundation GitHub, Shopify, Airbnb, and Coinbase were all built on.

His name is Yukihiro Matsumoto.

Everyone in the programming world calls him Matz. He was born in 1965, studied information science at the University of Tsukuba, and graduated in 1990 with a head full of ideas about what programming languages could be and a quiet frustration with what they actually were.

He knew Perl. He did not like it. He said it had the smell of a toy language. He knew Python. He did not like it either, because he felt its object-oriented features were add-ons bolted onto a language that was not designed around them from the start. He wanted something that was genuinely, completely object-oriented, easy to use, and built for the person writing the code rather than the machine running it.

He looked for that language. He could not find it.

So on February 24, 1993, he opened a chat window with his colleague Keiju Ishitsuka and typed: "Let us decide the codename now."

They wanted to name it after a gemstone, inspired by Perl. Ishitsuka suggested Coral. Matsumoto suggested Ruby. Ruby was shorter by one letter. Ruby won.

He spent the next two years building it alone, working through the architecture piece by piece. The object system. The string class. The IO streams. He later said he talked through specific features while speaking to his baby daughter, using her as a sounding board the way programmers use rubber ducks. In August 1993, he finally wrote the line of code that produced "Hello, world." on the screen.

The first public version, Ruby 0.95, was released to Japanese domestic newsgroups on December 21, 1995. No press release. No launch event. Just a quiet post to a mailing list.

The design principle underneath everything was the one nobody else had ever made primary. Matsumoto called it programmer happiness. He believed programming languages should be built for the joy and productivity of the person writing the code, not optimized purely for machine efficiency. Every decision in Ruby's design ran through that filter. If it made the programmer's life harder, it was wrong.

That philosophy attracted a small but devoted following in Japan through the late 1990s. Then in 2003, a Danish programmer named David Heinemeier Hansson discovered Ruby and used it to build an internal project management tool for his company. He called the tool Basecamp. He extracted the framework underneath it and released it publicly in 2004.

He called it Ruby on Rails.

Within a year of that release, the framework had changed how web applications were built. Rails introduced the principle of convention over configuration, meaning developers could make decisions about structure quickly because the framework had already made sensible defaults. What used to take weeks of setup took days. What used to take days took hours.

Shopify started on Rails in 2005. GitHub built on Rails a couple of years later. Airbnb, Twitch, Coinbase, SoundCloud, and Zendesk all followed. The first generation of consumer internet companies that defined how people think about software products were largely built by small teams moving fast on a framework that traced directly back to one Japanese programmer who was dissatisfied with his tools in 1993.

Shopify now processes over $200 billion in annual commerce volume. It still runs on Rails. GitHub became the largest code hosting platform on earth and was acquired by Microsoft for $7.5 billion in 2018. It started on Rails.

Matsumoto has said many times that he created Ruby for selfish reasons. He was so underwhelmed by every available option that he built something that would make himself happy. The programmer happiness he was chasing was his own.

The community that grew around Ruby adopted a motto that says everything about who he is. Matz is nice and so we are nice. They abbreviated it MINASWAN. It spread because it was true. He answered emails from strangers. He engaged with the community with patience. He treated the language as a gift, not a product.

He is still the chief designer of Ruby today. The language is 31 years old. It is still being improved.

The last stable release was Ruby 4.0.4, shipped on May 11, 2026.

One programmer, unhappy with his tools, built something better in the evenings in 1993. The companies you use to buy things, to store code, to book travel, and to watch streams were built on top of what he made.

He just wanted to be happy while he worked.

Did you know Ruby was behind the tools you use every day?

ISLAMIFICATION: If you were wondering what Islamic rule would look like in America you need only tune into a livestreamed Hamtramck, MI city council meeting. Multiple members of the all-Muslim council were charged in a ballot fraud scheme pled down & kept their seats. The whistlblowers that cooperated with the Michigan AG were all fired. This is America.

We took Erin Brockovich's map of every data center in America. Then we laid the nation's aquifers on top of it.

We noticed they're not building data centers where the land is cheap. They're building them where the water is.

Farmers near these facilities say their livestock have stopped falling pregnant. Residents say the humming never stops.

And the projects arrive under NDAs, so most towns don't know until the ground is already broken.

The question isn’t where they’re building anymore. It’s why they’re building where they’re building. Tonight, we think we can answer that question.

We’ve been covering the data center issue in great detail on this broadcast, and for good reason. It’s a serious problem in America and worldwide, and it’s one that is uniting people from all sides of the political aisle because, guess what, whether you are a conservative or a liberal, you have human rights that enable you to have access to basic survival needs like water, which was given to us by God, not by the state or Big Tech, by the way.

Erin Brockovich joined the data center fight recently. She launched a site including a map that shows data centers either completed, under construction, planned, or community reported, likely due to all those pesky NDAs in place stopping us from knowing they’re coming to our area. But the public isn’t stupid.

So Maria thought she’d do something a little bit different. She created a series of maps using Erin Brockovich’s data center data, then superimposed aquifer maps onto those maps, then superimposed smart city locations onto those maps. What Maria found was pretty mind-blowing and, she says, lends credence to her theory that those in charge are purposely making rural areas unlivable for the purpose of pushing people into smart cities, where they will be under constant surveillance and on a short leash.

Robert Kennedy Jr. has done more as HHS Secretary than any HHS Secretary in my lifetime. He is cleaning up the food supply. He is removing chemical dyes from children's food, pulling heavy metals out of baby food, investigating microplastics and forever chemicals. And he is working to bring the childhood vaccine schedule down from 54 vaccines to 26.

That isn't a small thing.

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.

In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

30 years ago, the military was forced to take an experimental anthrax vaccine that severely injured over 100,000 servicemen and caused pilots to black out mid-flight.

Congress outlawed this. Biden ignored that law with his COVID vax mandate.

You need to be eating more organic acids

Acetic acid (vinegar): improves satiation, promotes insulin sensitivity, AMPK activation

Citric acid: improves mineral absorption, prevents kidney stones, antioxidant effects

Glucuronic acid: improves estrogen detox, liver detoxification, antioxidant effects

Lactic acid: regulates gut microbiome, improves mineral absorption, activates immune function

Apple cider vinegar, citrus fruit, lemon juice, pickles, kombucha, kefir, and yogurt are all great ways to get these in your diet

Dibasic acids like citric acid react with divalent cations like magnesium, calcium, zinc, and iron and help solubilize them improving their absorption

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Ireland is being made to shrink its dairy herd, with healthy in-calf cows going to slaughter early, to satisfy a nitrogen figure set in Brussels.

Start with how cruel the timing is. Barely a decade ago, when the EU scrapped its milk quotas in 2015, Ireland told its farmers to do the opposite. Expand. Grow the herd. Build the new parlour. The government's own strategy pushed dairy hard for export growth, and thousands of families borrowed heavily and did exactly as they were asked. Now the same establishment that cheered them bigger is ordering them smaller.

The instrument is a rule that sounds technical and harmless. The EU caps the nitrogen that livestock manure may spread on the land. Ireland's grass-fed dairy farms, among the most efficient and lowest-carbon on earth, held a hard-won allowance to graze a little heavier. After a water-quality review, that allowance was cut, from 250 kilos of nitrogen a hectare down to 220, across great swathes of the country from 2024, and it has stayed under threat ever since, its conditions tightening at every review.

To drop under the new line, a farmer has three doors. Find more land, ship his slurry away, or get rid of cows. Land is scarce and the squeeze itself sent rents soaring, so for many the only door left is the herd.

The Irish Farmers Association reckoned an extra sixty nine thousand acres would be needed nationally just to stand still. One senator, a farmer himself, warned that up to forty one thousand cows, a great many of them pregnant, could be sent to slaughter to comply, and called it an animal welfare catastrophe in the making.

Sit with that. Healthy, productive, in-calf cows, on some of the greenest grass in Europe, culled early because a stocking number on a form moved by thirty kilos. The very cows the nation was begging the farmer to buy ten years ago.

This is what modern environmental policy looks like at the sharp end. A good cow loaded onto a lorry she never needed to be on, on a wet Tuesday in County Cork, to shift a figure in a spreadsheet.

A Prayer for Protection & Safety

Heavenly Father,

I come to You in stillness, not in panic, not in fear, but in the quiet confidence of one who knows where their help comes from. My help comes from You, the Maker of heaven and earth. And in that truth, I find all the security I need.

I rest today in the shadow of Your wings. That is not a small thing; it is everything. To be covered by You, watched over by You, hidden in You, there is no safer place in all of creation. No darkness can penetrate where Your light dwells. No harm can reach what Your hands are holding.

I bring before You every concern for my safety and the safety of those I love. Not with anxiety, but with trust, placing each one deliberately and peacefully into Your care. You know every road they will travel today, every moment where protection is needed, every unseen danger. And you are already there, already ahead, already at work.

Still, any fear that seeks to take root in my heart, Lord. Replace it with a settled awareness of Your presence, the kind that does not depend on seeing or understanding everything, but simply on knowing that You are God. That you are good. And that Your watch over my life never ceases, not for a single moment.

I breathe in Your peace. I breathe out every worry.

I am held. I am covered. I am safe in You.

And that is enough.

Amen.
