@PenguinSix I don’t know what you’re seeing, but that’s not paint, that’s cracking concrete, which wouldn’t have been caused by the paint itself.

I've been chewing on the Fable and Mythos news from Friday, and I've landed somewhere clear: I have no sympathy for @AnthropicAI here. Look back over the past two years. Every time they ship a new model, the release comes bundled with a press statement hyping how AI is going to destroy everything we hold sacred, our jobs, our wellbeing, our security. The doom has become a permanent sidecar to the product launch, and it's obvious to me and plenty of others that they've been using fear as a marketing tool: get the press writing, scare the public, and let curiosity drive people to the model that's supposedly too dangerous to exist. It worked brilliantly, right up until it didn't. Yes, the official trigger was a reported jailbreak of Fable's safeguards, but that only proves the point. You can't spend two years branding your models as world-ending and then act blindsided when the state takes you at your word and treats them as a controlled weapon. The government slapped export controls on them. Now Washington believes them.

Wow @breezeline is completely useless, they ask you to chat on the website to save time, and then the person on the other end of the chat says they can't help with billing, service requests, cancelation, or really anything but wasting the persons time.

@theparthrastogi This isn’t a hack in the US, it is considered a wash sale if you buy and sell or sell and buy the same asset in 30 days.

You could sell your bitcoin and then buy a bitcoin ETF to get around the wash sale rules.

[Nick Berardi @nberardi]

@theparthrastogi @logan_wealth Yes it’s a wash sale if you buy and sell the same asset in 30 days.

@openclaw @grok I didn’t see Slack native streaming called out in the release notes. Can you point me to the right spot?

Imagine how petty the staff at the @washingtonpost is to kick @ScottAdamsSays one last time during his obituary that they voluntarily published.

It’s amazing how big of a bullet we dodged with the last election. Imagine the sky is our vice president, just turning a blind eye a fraud at an industrial scale.

BREAKING: Governor Tim Walz announces he is dropping out of the governor’s race, mentions Nick Shirley in his statement.

Read his partial statement here:

"I won’t mince words here. Donald Trump and his allies – in Washington, in St. Paul, and online – want to make our state a colder, meaner place…”

…

"We’ve got Republicans here in the legislature playing hide-and-seek with whistleblowers.”

"We’ve got conspiracy theorist right-wing YouTubers breaking into daycare centers and demanding access to our children.”

"We’ve got the President of the United States demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongly confiscating childcare funding that Minnesotans rely on.”

…

“I cannot abide the actions of the political leadership in Washington – these opportunists who are willing to hurt our people to score a few cheap points. They and their allies have no intention of helping us solve the problem – and every intention of profiting off of it.”

"Which brings me to this: 2026 is an election year. And election years have a way of ramping up the politics at a time when we simply can’t afford more politics.”

“In September, I announced that I would run for a historic third term as Minnesota’s Governor. And I have every confidence that, if I gave it my all, I would succeed in that effort.”

“But as I reflected on this moment with my family and my team over the holidays, I came to the conclusion that I can’t give a political campaign my all.”

“Every minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences.”

"So I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.”

"I know this news may come as a surprise. But I’m passing on the race with zero sadness and zero regret. After all, I didn’t run for this job so I could have this job. I ran for this job so I could do this job. Minnesota faces an enormous challenge this year. And I refuse to spend even one minute of 2026 doing anything other than rising to meet the moment. Minnesota has to come first – always.”

"That’s what I believe servant leadership demands of me. And as an optimist, I will hold out some hope that my friends on the other side of the aisle will consider what servant leadership demands of them in this moment. We can work together to combat the criminals, rebuild the public’s trust, and make our state stronger. But make no mistake: If Republicans continue down this path of abusing power, smearing entire communities, and running their own fraudulent game at the expense of Minnesotans – we will fight back every step of the way.”

"Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota America’s best place to live and raise kids – from our new paid leave policy to our child tax credit to our free lunch program.”

…

"Most of all, I want Minnesotans to know that I’m on the job, 24/7, focused on making sure we stay America’s best place to live and raise kids. No one will take that away from us. Not the fraudsters. And not the President. Not on my watch.”
