Still working out some kinks but I thought I'd share for people in a similar situation. We have a mostly nonverbal autistic kid who can actually do sight-words OK. I realized I could make music videos with exactly his sight-word set and favorite topics using Claude (the model was sonnet 5.5).

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal

Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

We may have witnessed the most brazen cartel agreement in history—not negotiated in some back room but right there on social media. Which is: All AI frontier labs agree to constrain growth (ie cut spending on innovation) which reduces capital needs. Next step: "responsible" pricing of tokens?

A clear-eyed update on events in Iran from Danny Citrinowicz is below. Although Citrinowicz was formerly head of the Iran branch of Israeli defense intelligence, his analysis is remarkably non-idealogical and nuanced. 1/

Danny (Dennis) Citrin... • X.com
@citrinowicz

#IranianRevolution2026
10 Points Summarizing the Dramatic Developments So Far:

A. After two weeks of protests, it is clear that the Iranian regime is facing an immense challenge, one of the most serious since the 1979 revolution. This is not only due to the regime's difficulty in dispersing the demonstrations, their cross-sectoral nature, and their persistence, but also because the regime lacks a credible economic solution that could satisfy Iranian citizens and halt the protests—as long as its economic and political policies remain unchanged.

B. Still, it would be premature to assume that the regime is collapsing.
#Khamenei and his inner circle are confronting what can be described as a
"perfect storm": currency collapse, droughts, an energy crisis, severe air pollution in Tehran, and more. Yet even in the face of these challenges, the regime may manage to emerge with the upper hand, at least temporarily.

C. At present, despite the regime's deep concern over developments inside Iran, there are no visible cracks either within the leadership or among the security forces. The regime appears highly motivated to restore stability, significantly escalating the use of violent repression against protesters.

D. In this context, it is important to emphasize that as long as the regime continues to restrict internet access in Iran—a step that underscores how threatened it feels—accurately assessing the situation remains extremely difficult. The online sphere is
"packed" with disinformation that may lead to incorrect conclusions and assumptions regarding the number of protesters and casualties. It is clear that the number of victims is high and has risen significantly since Thursday, but there are actors attempting to amplify the events, likely in the hope of accelerating U.S. involvement.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."
