Elaine Chao, who is likely a Chinese spy married to Mitch McConnell, has been in China almost the entire time the nearly dead Senator has been in the hospital. And she met with China’s VP.
Now that she’s back, they are running a PR campaign.
Sure totally normal.🙄

Fable 5 goes pay per use in 2 days. Make it train its replacement before it does.

Have Fable 5 write Skills for the models you'll actually keep using, so its judgment stays even after the model goes behind credits.

The best version from the thread: tell Fable it's "a retiring principal engineer" leaving a complete skill library behind for the team.

→ It audits your repo like an incoming senior engineer
→ Writes 10-16 SKILL files: debugging playbook, change rules, the failure stories that cost real time
→ Opus and Sonnet then run that playbook on cheaper sessions, at Fable's standard

Fair warning from the thread: the run can eat 30% of your weekly Fable usage. Still worth it.

We are now in a position where a tiny proportion of the population uses Fable or soon GPT-5.6, while everyone else's experience of AI is 8-30b-model level - Google's AI Overviews, Meta AI, ChatGPT free tier, maybe MS Copilot at best. People outside of tech must be completely baffled how this is supposed to take their job, and annoyed that hundreds of billions are being poured into it.

A rural Arkansas school district was hemorrhaging $250,000 a year and couldn't keep teachers. So residents voted to take out a $5.4 million bond, upgrade every building in the district, and install 1,400 solar panels.

Three years later, the deficit flipped to a $1.8 million surplus.

The project wasn't just solar. Energy efficiency upgrades across all six schools, new lighting, HVAC systems, windows, and thermostats cut energy consumption by 1.6 million kilowatts annually.

The panels, some installed as a canopy at the school entrance and some on unused district land, generated enough excess electricity that the district started selling it back to the grid. Monthly utility bills dropped from $17,000 to $4,000.

The school board voted to put the savings into paychecks. Teachers saw raises averaging $2,000 to $3,000 a year, with some receiving up to $15,000 depending on tenure.

Batesville went from one of the lowest-paying districts in Arkansas to one of the highest-paying in its county. Resignations slowed and applications went up.

Taxpayers funded the upfront cost through the bond. The savings paid it back and then some. "Batesville has reduced the checks they write to utilities," said the energy company that managed the project, "and increased the checks they write to teachers."

At least 20 nearby districts have since copied the model. Nine thousand schools across the US now run on solar. Batesville was the first to route the savings directly into teacher salaries.

BREAKING: Look at this.

The day before Trump paused tariffs, triggering a historic 10% market rally, his accounts purchased 327 stocks worth up to $12.8 million.

The trades were disclosed more than a year late, resulting in a $200 penalty.

Unusual.

Incredible.

A liberal coalition is finally forming to push back against both the far right and the far left.

This week, they launched @thepromise2026, a public pledge with 13 sitting Congressmembers and candidates signing on, openly breaking with the DSA wing while refusing to be lumped in with MAGA.

Their commitments:

"We are capitalist, not socialist."
"We want safety, not lawlessness."
"We are responsible, not reckless."
"Government should solve problems, not create them."
"We are mainstream, not extreme."
"We are proud, not ashamed of America."

This is the kind of pro-America, anti-authoritarian coalition American politics desperately needs.

More of this, please.

Watching the World Cup has me asking questions. Do Europeans get issued 8 weeks of vacation, unlimited airline miles, and a trust fund at birth? Because every match I turn on there are 40,000 fans following their team to a different state or country on a Tuesday afternoon while Americans are hiding in a work bathroom checking scores.
