There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.
DID YOU KNOW: Sequoia and redwood trees alive today were already mature when the Roman Empire was at its peak — the oldest living giant sequoias are over 3,000 years old, which means they were standing in California before the Parthenon was built in Athens, before Julius Caesar was born, and before the Roman Empire even existed.

So yesterday Donald Trump posted a video of him crashing Stephen Colbert's final show, and literally throwing him in the garbage, and of course, I had to FIX it.
🎙️ Paul McCartney racconta “I’ve Got A Feeling”
“Questa canzone è un matrimonio tra la mia ‘I’ve Got A Feeling’ e un pezzo scritto da John, intitolato ‘Everyone Had A Bad Year’. Una delle cose più eccitanti dello scrivere con John è che molto spesso arrivava da un altro punto di vista. Se io dicevo: ‘Va sempre meglio’, John poteva facilmente dire: ‘Non può andare peggio’, il che apriva immediatamente la canzone.”
Così Paul McCartney ha raccontato la nascita di I’ve Got a Feeling nel libro The Lyrics, spiegando il contrasto creativo che rendeva unico il rapporto con John Lennon.
“Erano stati uno o due anni difficili per John: la rottura del suo matrimonio, l’allontanamento da Julian, un problema con l’eroina. E poi c’era la situazione generale della band, che in quel periodo era in pessime condizioni. Questo è racchiuso nella combinazione delle frasi ‘Everybody pulled their socks up’ e ‘Everybody put their foot down’. Questi versi si riferiscono in qualche modo allo stato della nazione o a quello dei Beatles.”
Una testimonianza preziosa che mostra come, anche nei momenti più difficili, i Beatles riuscissero a trasformare tensioni personali e crisi collettive in musica straordinaria.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set.
And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people.
So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.
Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace
