I asked Claude about the air conditioning debate in Europe, and it really didn’t pull any punches.

Iran has Trump's balls, or what's left of them, in its grip, and they're going to keep squeezing because they know he won't do anything about it because they've got his balls in their grip.

@Chris_arnade Weird, but I love it.

@neoavatara A decade ago? Panama wasn't breeched until 2022. WTF are you talking about?

[PoIiMath @politicalmath]

The screwworms were already well past the Panama barrier by 2025. The biggest culprit was a lack of urgency, diligence, and reporting from 2021-2024 that this was an emerging crisis

But the second biggest culprit was unrestrained northern migration.

@selentelechia A good General needs to be armed. 🫡

[Nebulousfocus @nebulousfocus]

@selentelechia I think you mean "building a toddler army".

[Rebeccah Heinrichs @RLHeinrichs]

Filming Chinese aggression like this is vital. U.S. strategic comms would be wise to amplify it.

With the World Cup in America coinciding with Pride Month this could go down as the gayest month in history.

[blighter @blightersort]

when a journalist -- especially one from 60 Minutes -- sobs that he's "been in combat for this country", it's good to remember this old video where Mike Wallace, perhaps the most legendary 60 Minutes journalist of all time, solemnly opined that he was "a journalist first, not an American" and so would not warn US troops of an enemy ambush if he learned of one.

just something to consider when a journalist from 60 Minutes tells you he's been in combat "for this country".

“If you think the world is selfish and rotten, go to the cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer overlooking Omaha Beach. See what one group of men did for another on D-Day, June 6th, 1944.” — Andy Rooney

@blightersort @EconTalker would agree

[sonch @soncharm]

$9 billion is a tiny amount to stay in touch with the world’s drone-warfare experts. We probably need them more than they need us at this point.

occasional reminder the only quote you should ever offer to a journalist is "peter thiel i am willing to serve as a plaintiff against this newspaper"

[Eric S. Raymond @esrtweet]

@WomanCorn This is ludicrously wrong.

Old Unix hands believed in a system-independent data format called...brace for it...text lines.

[Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca]

You’ll notice there is no look-back celebration or remembrance of this or virtually any of the other great moral victories from that era. It’s all been memory holed, a will-o'-the-wisp dimming out in the far distance.
