There’s a debate going on over on X. Which metric to use when talking El Niño. It’s complicated. Let’s start here. This is the excess heat available to each event. Clearly 2026 is far ahead (32% more excess heat than 1997). But that doesn’t tell the whole story. The reason we use the relative index

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...
Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

The Untold Story of The Elaine Massacre of 1919
This week marks the 107th anniversary of the Elaine Massacre of 1919, where white mobs hunted and killed Black sharecroppers who simply wanted fair cotton prices.

By

Angela Wilson

Published

September 28, 2026

HELENA, AK – SEPTEMBER 29: On the 100 year anniversary of the Elaine racial massacre, a memorial dedication is held for the public on September 29, 2019 in downtown Helena, Arkansas. In 1919, hundreds of African Americans were murdered after local cotton farmers tried to collectively sell their crops for a fairer price in New England. Many locals in Elaine want a memorial to be built in the town where the massacre happened, not in the local county seat where it was plotted. (Photo by Andrew Lichtenstein/Corbis vi.a Getty Images)

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

ICE has abducted Senegalese WBB player Aminata Seck and won't release her. DHS 'policy' is to provide medical care to prisoners at intake, yet they admit to denying her care for an ACL injury for 1.5 months. The NCAA is letting it happen, despite its predatory recruitment of ICAs. We explain.
