Wow.

Joe Kent just revealed the last thing Charlie Kirk said to him:

“The last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this Earth was in June, in the West Wing.”

“He looked me in the eye and he said … Joe, stop us from getting into a war with Iran.”

“One of President Trump’s closest advisors was vocally advocating for us to not go to war with Iran and for us to rethink, at least, our relationship with the Israelis.”

“And then he’s suddenly publicly assassinated and we’re not allowed to ask any questions about that?”

“The investigation that I was a part of [with] the National Counterterrorism Center, we were stopped from continuing to investigate.”

“But there was still a lot for us to look into that I can’t really get into.”

“There’s unanswered questions.”

“We know, because of the text messages that have been made public, that Charlie was under a lot of pressure from a lot of pro-Israel donors.”

Holy shit! Joe Kent did not hold back in his interview with Tucker Carlson:

“One of Trump’s closest advisors who was advocating for us to not go to war with Iran and to rethink our relationship with Israel is suddenly assassinated and then we were told to stop investigating it.”

I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

Important new course: Agent Skills with Anthropic, built with @AnthropicAI and taught by @eschoppik!

Skills are constructed as folders of instructions that equip agents with on-demand knowledge and workflows. This short course teaches you how to create them following best practices. Because skills follow an open standard format, you can build them once and deploy across any skills-compatible agent, like Claude Code.

What you'll learn:
- Create custom skills for code generation and review, data analysis, and research
- Build complex workflows using Anthropic's pre-built skills (Excel, PowerPoint, skill creation) and custom skills
- Combine skills with MCP and subagents to create agentic systems with specialized knowledge
- Deploy the same skills across https://t.co/Ru4OXv4saV, Claude Code, the Claude API, and the Claude Agent SDK

Join and learn to equip agents with the specialized knowledge they need for reliable, repeatable workflows.

"Much of the industry will be writing less and less [Python] given the agentic-loop productivity benefits of Go and other modern compiled languages." -- @wesmckinn McKinney (creator of pandas)

Wes’ thoughtful (and spicy!) take is well-taken. If agents are doing the writing, human-first ergonomics stop being the bottleneck.

I'm doing a fireside chat with Wes, @apreshill, & Marcel Kornacker tomorrow. It's all about multimodal AI but I'd have to fire myself if I didn't ask Wes about this.

We'd love to see you there.

Creating publication-ready plots in R is easier than ever with ggpubr. This extension for ggplot2 simplifies the process of generating clean and professional graphics, especially for exploratory data analysis and reporting.

The attached visual, which I created using ggpubr, demonstrates its versatility. It includes a density plot with group comparisons (upper right), a boxplot with statistical significance annotations (lower left), and a grouped bar chart (lower right). These examples showcase how ggpubr helps streamline the creation of informative and visually appealing plots, perfect for presentations and publications.

If you’d like to learn how to create publication-ready visualizations with ggpubr and other tools, join my online course, Data Visualization in R Using ggplot2 & Friends. In this course, you’ll learn how to design polished graphics like these step-by-step! Learn more by visiting this link: https://t.co/ztlEzoEDWv

I've known our Minister of Health YB DS @DrDzul since 1996. I was in Datuk Seri's class at USM medical school for almost two years.
Leading the Ministry of Health, our 2nd largest ministry, is undoubtedly daunting.

Well deserving..Congrats to all those conferred the Fellowship..Prof @kamarul_imran et al 🌹❤️

In recognition of the critical role of Public Health Physicians in advancing the shift to preventive healthcare paradigm (from the sickcare reactive model)….if l may paraphrase a caption of my speech…

“While the more favoured clinicians might treat one patient at a time, it is the public health physicians (the often unsung heroes), who actually saves lives by the thousands if not millions….

Quietly, without the spotlight, they intervene at the population level, applying the right public health principles and the right interventions, to the right targeted populations (or sub-population), at the right time, using real-time, granular data….

And moving forward, where big data, machine learning, and advanced analytics are transforming traditional public health methods into real-time, tailored responses, we are already stepping into and embracing the era of Precision Public Health.”

Kudos once again to our silent guardians of the nation’s health.
Your dedication is both critical and indispensable. 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Deeply honored to be conferred as a Fellow of Public Health Physician by YB Datuk Seri @DrDzul!

From student to Fellow - what a journey!
