Random thought: do "jackson-core" (streaming API, impl for json), "jackson-databind" (json<->POJOs) fit in Opus 5 context window (1M)? Was guessing that they do since Claude works well on both. Asked Claude to check: turns out... yes and no -- core, yes (non-test -> 60-65% of window), ...

Claude denied code generation for the first time today (to create sec vuln test case). But was able to successfully argue my case; my being a "security researcher" helping fix vulns, and got the test case written. Lols. Waiting for the "Invention of Lying" moment in near future.

As Trump's dementia worsens and he becomes more erratic with his little tantrums, we're going to be treated to the sight of congressional Republicans debasing themselves more and more on television, trying to pretend that his latest grudge is very serious and very important.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

If leaders abuse the rule of law to make themselves immune to it, so that they can undermine the rights of others with impunity, by what moral or philosophical argument are they entitled to its protections, once they lose power? By what grace should they be sorted by law instead of by other means?
