The tale of two Septembers. 2026 vs 2023. Both equally warm in the Northern Hemisphere, but Antarctica makes all the difference. Record warm in 2023, below average in 2026. Hence 2026 likely only 2nd warmest such month in recorded history #ClimateEmergency #ElNiño

Drei Stolpersteine im dunklen Straßenpflaster erinnern an Alice David, Hedwig Eppstein und Paul Maximilian Eppstein. Auf den Steinen liegen rote Rosen. Alice David wurde 1942 durch Verfolgung und Entrechtung in den Tod getrieben. Hedwig Eppstein wurde nach Theresienstadt deportiert und 1944 in Auschwitz ermordet.

This mindset is the least we deserve from a leader. Of course it has to be turned into action.

How feeble-minded Farage and Badenoch seem. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Photo of Burnham waving to the audience in front of HOPE AGAIN backdrop

Burnham was not going to die wondering. He knew he might be delivering one of the longest suicide notes in history, but he did it anyway. Because he couldn't not do it. Better to go down remaining true to his principles than being slowly airbrushed out of history like the previous six prime ministers. Failures all. Andy was prepared to burn through all his political capital right there in Liverpool, right then. Not just for his own legacy but for a country he wanted to rebuild. It was the only way he could look himself in the mirror.
Honour his parents.

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.
