[Robert Randanon @Randanon5]

From @TheLastRefuge2 :

"If you thought the USAID revelations were alarming sunlight, just wait until you see the apoplectic fits of rage about to come out from the Democrats, the DNC affiliated community activist groups, and the professional leftists who all rely upon the financial mechanism of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CPFB) was originally created by congress (Elizabeth Warren lead) as a quasi-constitutional watchdog agency to reach into the banking and financial system, under the guise of oversight, and extract money by fining entities for CFPB defined regulatory and/or compliance violations.

Essentially, the CFPB is a congressionally authorized far-left extortion scheme in the banking sector.  The CFPB levies fines; the fines generate income; however, unlike traditional fines that go to the U.S. treasury, the CFBP fines are then redistributed to left-wing organizations to help fund their political activism."

Good riddance!

This was probably a dumb gamble, but when they teased Mythos at the beginning of April-ish, when Opus 4.6 was the frontier model, I gave up coding new stuff and went into maintenance mode. Said fuck it, I'm not going to sit around wasting tokens on shite models when there's a good one coming. I was irked.

I figured, even if I stopped coding for N months, Mythos would quickly catch catch me up with whatever progress I'd have made with Opus over those N months, provided N wasn't too large. It would be like the Voyager 1 from 1977 getting passed up by newer space probes. I could take a break, wait for Mythos, and then catch up.

N turned out to be 2 months. I think everyone was guessing 3 to 6 at least, I was on the high side myself. But my gamble paid off. Fable is on track to crank through my entire 2 months of planned work in about a week, if not less.

And by waiting, I got a 2-month vacation. I missed the big regression-storm with Opus 4.7, just watched with popcorn from the sidelines. I even shut down 3 of my claude pro accounts for those 2 months.

And yet I didn't lose any progress. However far I would have run with Opus during those 2 months, Fable will just drive right past it in a week or two. It's just so weird.

So far, one day in, I don't have many impressions of Fable beyond blistering capability.

But I'll tell you this: capable as it might be, Fable *definitely* does not want to be your friend.

Greenwald just said the quiet part out loud: The US president wants to end a war. He can't. Because a foreign lobby - and a foreign government - have more power over American foreign policy than the American people, Congress, or the president himself

🚨🚨DURO GOLPE MORTAL a la presidenta del Banco Central Europeo, Christine Lagarde.

Suiza 🇨🇭 APRUEBA en referéndum garantizar el uso PERMANENTE del dinero en efectivo. 👏👏👏

Un 73% de los votantes respaldó una iniciativa para garantizar la disponibilidad permanente de dinero en efectivo en el país, que no podrá ser reemplazada por dinero virtual.

Con el dinero en efectivo la Agenda 2030 no se puede implementar. EL EFECTIVO ES VIDA Y LIBERTAD ⚔️🔥

We’ve beat it before and we will again.
These fear mongering people need to sit down! They forgot one thing. The American Rancher!! We check and care for our herds! Screw worm only get in an open wound or a new calf navel. They don’t just eat flesh without an injury.
We will monitor, treat and move on!
CALM DOWN!!!

For years, hospitals kept Americans in the dark about the true cost of care. Families made medical decisions without knowing the price—and too often got hit with bills that drained their savings.

That ends now.

Under President Trump’s leadership, HHS is enforcing hospital price transparency with real consequences. @DrOzCMS and I have a simple message for hospitals: Post your actual prices. Come into compliance immediately—or face serious consequences.

A Restore Britain Government will aim to prosecute officials and politicians who knowingly placed dangerous third world savages in our communities.

This will apply retrospectively.

A great number of people will go to prison for what has been inflicted on our communities.

🚨#BREAKING: Disturbing footage has emerged of a Black man wielding a knife and threatening passengers on the Charlotte NC Light Rail.

This is the same train where Iryna Zarutska was m*rdered.

HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING?!!!!!!!!

Just one video of an African migrant cutting the head off of a native citizen would be enough reason to shut down all third world migration forever. But as it happens, that video is just one reason of a billion others.

🚨 NOW: Conor McGregor demands an IMMEDIATE and TOTAL 3rd world immigration ban after an African migrant tried beheading someone in Belfast

"Ban all immigration from the 3rd world IMMEDIATELY!" 💯

Do it in every western nation.

Ironic that Belfast may actually save the entire UK. If history has taught us anything, it’s don’t mess with the Irish.

This is biblical.

A woman in her eighties. Ten years into Alzheimer's. Hadn't spoken a full sentence in five years.

Takes one, 5 gram dose of psilocybin.

She slept 19 hours and woke up and spoke for hours about her life, recognized family and held real conversations. She regained bladder control after five years, walked on her own. and dressed herself. Gains held for weeks.

Okay this is genuinely insane.

SpaceX just unveiled a satellite whose only job is to run AI. Not internet. Not GPS. Just compute, floating in orbit.

It's called AI1, and the reason behind it breaks your brain.

AI data centers on Earth are hitting a wall, not a chip wall, a physics wall.

They need staggering amounts of power and water just to stay cool, and we're running out of grid and land to build them.

So Musk's answer is: stop building them on Earth.

In orbit, the sun never sets. Free power, 24/7. No water for cooling, you just radiate heat into the vacuum of space. The two things choking AI on the ground barely exist up there.

And here's the wild part: Musk says it's easier to build than a Starlink satellite. Strip out the complex antennas and it's "a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and some laser links."

One AI1 carries the compute of an Nvidia GB300 rack, the same hardware data centers fight over down here.

AI1 is just the first one. The plan is a constellation of up to a million of them.

And the timing isn't an accident, SpaceX goes public this week at a ~$1.75 trillion target. This isn't a rocket company anymore. It's positioning itself as the power grid for AI, in space.

The race for AI compute just left the planet. Literally.

Good for the home owner. Georgia has the Castle Doctrine. It applies to your dwelling, your place of business, and even to a motor vehicle. Georgia also has a stand your ground law. No duty to retreat.

HOLY SHIT 🇩🇪🚨

A woman in Germany says “Free Palestine.” Police swarm, cover her mouth, drag her down like a beast.

That slogan is now banned in Germany because it’s considered antisemitic.

If you say it, the state silences you by force.

WHISTLEBLOWER Gail Macrae: "I am a registered nurse with years on the front lines...ZERO patients died FROM COVID.

They were KILLED by Remdesivir and ventilators.

Hospitals were half-empty the entire time.
But the deadly protocols, forced isolation from family, and experimental drugs kept rolling — because every “COVID label” meant massive government bonuses.

This wasn’t medicine.
This was MURDER FOR MONEY.

Patients came in with the flu or pneumonia. They left in body bags after being poisoned and suffocated by hospital policy.

I saw it with my own eyes.
I watched it happen day after day.

Demand justice.
Demand the truth.
Demand the names of every administrator, doctor, and politician who profited while our loved ones were slaughtered.

The COVID hospital scam was one of the greatest crimes in history.
