If you're celebrating Flo Balogun today (as you should) you better be happy about birthright citizenship!

He was born in Brooklyn because an airline wouldn't let his mom fly home to London so late in her pregnancy.

If you haven't upgraded your Anthropic subscription to take full advantage of Fable while it's available to subscription accounts, you are missing a real opportunity!

What does Fable know about biology and chemistry that the general public shouldn't know?

If you're 15, 20, 25 years into software engineering and quietly wondering if the experience still counts: it counts more than ever. It just moved up the abstraction stack.

@bcherny When can we expect the fixes to make it to the homebrew packages?

[Britt Treece @abtreece]

@superwuster What if... we just... simplified taxes so it didn't matter when we made donations to charity, etc, etc, etc

"We're reviewing our financial assistance to Scouting America."

Reality: they provide equipment and in-kind logistical support for the @boyscouts @natjamboree.

This isn't aid, it is a recruitment program they're threatening to sabotage.

Putting @boyscouts "on the clock" to become less welcoming or lose federal support isn't policy, it's bullying.

In Scouting "all forms of bullying and harassment are prohibited."

STATEMENT:

From Day One at the War Department, we have made it very clear: No more DEI at DoW. Zero tolerance.

As a result, over the past several months, the Department of War has been reviewing its relationship with Scouting America—formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America. A great organization, that has — in many ways — lost its way.

On January 21st, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14173: "Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity," terminating radical DEl preferencing in federal contracting. All of our affiliations must meet this standard.

But, for more than a decade now, Scouting America's leadership has made decisions that run counter to the values of this administration and this Department of War, including an embrace of DEl and other social justice, gender-fluid ideological stances. This is unacceptable.

Our review of the DoW's financial assistance and partnership with Scouting America, including its quadrennial National Jamboree celebration, has been rigorous and ongoing. Scouting America remains far from perfect, but they have firmly committed to a return to core principles. Back to God and country—immediately!

Scouting America and the Department of War are near a final agreement where we believe we can continue our partnership with Scouting America, as long as the organization rapidly implements the common-sense, core value reforms. They are on the clock, and we are watching.

We have more to announce soon.

Businesses passing the 3% CC fee to the payer are starting to irritate me. As if paying by credit card doesn't save them time and effort... We should all start paying by check again

Congress is basically just a government welfare program that pays for 500 elderly folks to have staff of young people who help them do social media.

The pendulum has swung so far to the right that liberals should start flying the Gadsden flag.

AI does not make a non technical person technical, jfc. The engineers getting the most from AI already write amazing code raw dog, they just use AI as a code monkey to do it for them while upholding the SAME BAR.

Non technical Vibe coders CANNOT DO THIS.

@GergelyOrosz @QuinnyPig I saw @GergelyOrosz was following which, to me, implied credibility, so I assumed it must be legit and followed.
