Liam Rosenior is a highly promising young coach as he proved at Derby, Hull, Strasbourg and with six wins in eight games at Chelsea. He thinks deeply about the game. He’s obviously a very intelligent person. He’s also worked in the media. So Rosenior should be smart enough to avoid observations that lead to headlines unhelpful to him and his players.

Coaches, especially goalkeeping ones, do step into the opposition half to deliver long kicks to warm up their keeper. It happens often. Crossing the halfway line isn’t crossing the line. The media was always going to pick up Rosenior’s spiky comments towards Arsenal staff at the time – TV cameras everywhere, let alone fans filming the warm-up at the Emirates – and then follow up in his press conference yesterday.

Rosenior talked about “respect” and, however nuanced he might have been, and respectful towards Mikel Arteta, it was always going to lead to large headlines screaming antagonism towards Arsenal. The whole incident made Rosenior look a bit weak, rather than strong. It seems a minor issue to look rattled about anyway. Rise above it.

Rosenior may not care about the headlines, and some Chelsea fans may love his cocksure attitude, but it serves as fuel to the fire of opponents, it creates unnecessary negativity around him and he could use more of that time also bigging up his own team. He spoke about Cole Palmer. So speak more about what a special player he is. Accentuate positives about your own team, not throw negatives at others. Especially when they’ve just beaten you home and away. #CFC

Horrified to learn of the bombing at a mosque near Islamabad, Pakistan that has killed at least 31 people, and injured over 150 more.

Canadians are keeping the people of Pakistan, the victims, wounded, and their loved ones in our thoughts today.

There's an opportunity right now to build a $100k per month side hustle as an AI Concierge.

And you don't even have to be *that* technical to do it. Just high agency.

There are probably millions of people out there who see all of the latest AI innovations like Claude Cowork, want to take advantage of them, but have no idea how to actually do that.

I know, because I'm one of those people...

I had dinner last night with the CEO of a multi-billion dollar tech startup. He was telling me about the full digital assistant/employee he just hacked together over the weekend. All of the things it's doing, how it's been an unlock for his workflows and life.

I told him I'd gladly pay him $5000 to come to my house and spend the day building me one using the same approach.

He laughed that he'd happily do that (though obviously won't given his day job).

There's a real, high cash flow opportunity for a hustler to launch a services business as an AI Concierge for the tech curious.

Ideally they would physically show up and build out a tool (or suite) to help an individual leverage the latest for their business and life.

I bet you could charge $5-10k for the initial upfront work and then some low ongoing service fee to keep the thing up to date (if the person wants that and needs help with it).

5-10 clients per month and you have a meaningful cash flow engine.

All comes down to the quality of what you deliver long term, but my guess is people would see a Month 1 positive ROI on the investment and referrals to their friends would drive the entire business.

Just a thought...

In response to a video President Trump posted Thursday depicting the Obamas as monkeys, press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Politico:

"This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public."

She shared the full video, which also depicted Hillary Clinton as a boar and Hakeem Jeffries as a meerkat, but neither were included in Trump's post.

Republicans were told the only way to avoid a shutdown was to accept dozens of Democrat earmarks.

They took the deal, and Schumer changed it anyway, keeping all their stuff but carving out Homeland Security for just two weeks.

That's not negotiation. That's getting played. I couldn't support it.

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

Claude Opus 4.6 & GPT Codex 5.3 out today, and OpenClaw recently. And I'm sure xAI/Grok & Google/Gemini will soon be out with more. What an exciting time to build stuff!

I'm walking around with a smile, happy & sleep-deprived 🤣

Next week, I'll come to SF/Bay Area for a few days/weeks/months to hang out & build some stuff ;-)

Looking to focus on programming, and contribute to good engineering teams. But occasionally socialize, in as much as my introvert brain allows.

2026 is going to be fun (and wild), LFG!

PS: I'm doing a deep-dive podcast on OpenClaw with its creator (@steipete) soon. Let me know if you have questions.

Under the guidance of @POTUS, our nation’s thriving economy is attracting strong and stable foreign investment from around the world.

As Chair of CFIUS, Treasury is implementing President Trump’s America First Investment Policy, including a new effort to facilitate greater investment from allies and partners while continuing to ensure that no investment threatens our national security.

Britain has dethroned a prince, forced Mandelson to resign, & lost confidence in Starmer because @RepThomasMassie & I forced the release of the Epstein files.

What is America doing to hold the Epstein class accountable?

We need to haul these powerful men before Congress.

[David Jolly @davidjollyfl]

Folks, this election is no longer about policy - it's about our national identity, about who we are. The President depicting the Obamas as monkeys, a Florida gubernatorial candidate unleashing antisemitism and cheered for it, another peddling Islamophobia, ICE agents detaining a 5 year old in bunny ears and a Spiderman backpack, the whitewashing of credible allegations in the Epstein files of pedophilia and rape. All of it now routinely enabled and given equity in the public square. It's vile.

We're holding a mirror up to ourselves right now. Forget about policy - this is about who we are as a people, and its terrifying what the answer most days seems to be.

One of the fundamental tenets of our campaign for Florida Governor is that everyone's rights should be protected and their dignity celebrated - their dignity celebrated - regardless of the color of their skin, where they were born, who they love, or who they worship.

Whether you believe in the teachings of a faith that declares we are all made in God's image or whether you embrace Jefferson's declaration of the natural rights of man, this is what we are litigating right now in America.

We will never make America great again if we don't first make America good again. Please consider doing your part to make us good again. May we all commit to at least that this November.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

for me the odds that AI is a bubble declined significantly in the last 3 weeks and the odds that we’re actually quite under-built for the necessary levels of inference/usage went significantly up in that period

basically I think AI is going to become the home screen of a ludicrously high percentage of white collar workers in the next two years and parallel agents will be deployed in the battlefield of knowledge work at downright Soviet levels

[Nikola Vucevic @NikolaVucevic]

Chicago,

Thank you for welcoming me and my family 5 years ago. It was an honor to represent the Bulls, a historic franchise, and to play in front of some of the best fans in the world at the United Center!

While I hoped we could have achieved more together on the court, I will always be grateful for my time there and for everything this chapter gave me. My family and I will truly miss this city and all the incredible people we met along the way.

To the Bulls staff who I had the pleasure of working closest with - a special THANK YOU for the support, the laughs and the moments we shared throughout my time here. You all mean so much to me and those relationships will always be bigger than the game.

PS… As a big foodie, I really enjoyed all the great restaurants Chicago has to offer, on a downside, you have kinda ruined it for me for me wherever else I go!

Software development is undergoing a renaissance in front of our eyes.

If you haven't used the tools recently, you likely are underestimating what you're missing. Since December, there's been a step function improvement in what tools like Codex can do. Some great engineers at OpenAI yesterday told me that their job has fundamentally changed since December. Prior to then, they could use Codex for unit tests; now it writes essentially all the code and does a great deal of their operations and debugging. Not everyone has yet made that leap, but it's usually because of factors besides the capability of the model.

Every company faces the same opportunity now, and navigating it well — just like with cloud computing or the Internet — requires careful thought. This post shares how OpenAI is currently approaching retooling our teams towards agentic software development. We're still learning and iterating, but here's how we're thinking about it right now:

As a first step, by March 31st, we're aiming that:

(1) For any technical task, the tool of first resort for humans is interacting with an agent rather than using an editor or terminal.
(2) The default way humans utilize agents is explicitly evaluated as safe, but also productive enough that most workflows do not need additional permissions.

In order to get there, here's what we recommended to the team a few weeks ago:

1. Take the time to try out the tools. The tools do sell themselves — many people have had amazing experiences with 5.2 in Codex, after having churned from codex web a few months ago. But many people are also so busy they haven't had a chance to try Codex yet or got stuck thinking "is there any way it could do X" rather than just trying.
- Designate an "agents captain" for your team — the primary person responsible for thinking about how agents can be brought into the teams' workflow.
- Share experiences or questions in a few designated internal channels
- Take a day for a company-wide Codex hackathon

2. Create skills and AGENTS[.md].
- Create and maintain an AGENTS[.md] for any project you work on; update the AGENTS[.md] whenever the agent does something wrong or struggles with a task.
- Write skills for anything that you get Codex to do, and commit it to the skills directory in a shared repository

3. Inventory and make accessible any internal tools.
- Maintain a list of tools that your team relies on, and make sure someone takes point on making it agent-accessible (such as via a CLI or MCP server).

4. Structure codebases to be agent-first. With the models changing so fast, this is still somewhat untrodden ground, and will require some exploration.
- Write tests which are quick to run, and create high-quality interfaces between components.

5. Say no to slop. Managing AI generated code at scale is an emerging problem, and will require new processes and conventions to keep code quality high
- Ensure that some human is accountable for any code that gets merged. As a code reviewer, maintain at least the same bar as you would for human-written code, and make sure the author understands what they're submitting.

6. Work on basic infra. There's a lot of room for everyone to build basic infrastructure, which can be guided by internal user feedback. The core tools are getting a lot better and more usable, but there's a lot of infrastructure that currently go around the tools, such as observability, tracking not just the committed code but the agent trajectories that led to them, and central management of the tools that agents are able to use.

Overall, adopting tools like Codex is not just a technical but also a deep cultural change, with a lot of downstream implications to figure out. We encourage every manager to drive this with their team, and to think through other action items — for example, per item 5 above, what else can prevent a lot of "functionally-correct but poorly-maintainable code" from creeping into codebases.

President Trump now says it was Attorney General Pam Bondi who insisted DNI Tulsi Gabbard attend the FBI raid in Georgia. Last night, he told NBC he didn’t know why she was there. And Gabbard said in a letter to Congress that “the president specifically directed my observance of the execution of the Fulton County search warrant.”

Sobering data from Challenger on the US labor market:
Announced job cuts in January more than doubled year-over-year, hitting their highest level since the 2009 Great Recession.
Most notably, these layoffs are occurring while GDP continues to grow at approximately 4%, accelerating the decoupling of employment from economic growth—a phenomenon that, if it persists, has profound economic, political, and social implications.

The signs have been there all along & Ripple's deep integration into the global financial system is unlike anything we've seen in crypto. From the Federal Reserve to the World Bank, from BlackRock to the UN - they're everywhere that matters

XRP isn't just another digital asset. It's positioned to be the bridge between the old and new financial world

This is bigger than most realize

Sinceramente, quando eu acho que já atingimos o fundo do poço, descubro que há um alçapão. A Câmara dos Deputados quer aprovar aumento de salário para servidores que já ganham muito e os salários podem chegar a R$ 77 mil.

Apresentei requerimento para que a votação fosse nominal e escancarar quem votou a favor. Nem isso foi aceito!

É uma vergonha. Começamos 2026 com o pé esquerdo.

Epstein Files is bigger than just one issue. It showed us the real problem. We’re not in control of our own government. Both parties lied to us. They protected the powerful, who turned out to be depraved. So, now we have to ask - who does the government actually work for?

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

Donald Trump invites Americans to believe there’s no money left to make health care affordable while he spends billions of taxpayer dollars to hire masked ICE & Border Patrol agents to intimidate, attack, arrest & even kill our people.

Mr. President, we reject these authoritarian priorities.
