@Noahpinion @ijbailey but russia is more cut and dry, no? very few americans (minus tankies + christian nationalists) defend russian aggression

when we kill kids, esp as the aggressor, it’s just ammo domestically and internationally to defend whatever future shit iran does

it's crazy when you see a photo for the first time and recognize that in 100 years historians are going to use it as shorthand to summarize the whole era you're living through right now.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

🇺🇸 A contractor drilling fiber optic cable in East Los Angeles punched through a petroleum pipeline at 3 a.m. and sent 2,400 gallons of oil flooding into the streets and straight into the LA River.

Two rupture points. It took 30 minutes to shut the valve.

The fire department’s response? "It tends to happen, unfortunately."

That’s the part worth sitting with. Officials aren’t treating this as a crisis, just routine.

California has thousands of miles of aging underground pipelines, and contractors regularly work near them with outdated or incomplete maps.

Until that changes, "it’s an accident, we understand" is gonna keep being the explanation.

Important thread.

Hawai’i just passed a bill that undermine Citizens United.

The bill establishes corporations as “artificial persons” without the right to spend money on elections.

The bill could limit the influence of super PACs and be a model to challenge the influence of money in politics.

Probably the funniest graph ever published by the FT: our 3 possible futures are either 1) infinite wealth and abundance, 2) human extinction or 3) 0.2% faster GDP growth 🤣
