I asked Claude. Claude does not have a "vinyl mode."
Screenshot of a Claude chat conversation. The user's message, in a grey bubble at top right, reads "what is claude vinyl mode?" Below it, a line reads "Searched the web — Claude "vinyl mode"" with an arrow.

The reply states: "It's not a real feature. "Vinyl Mode" comes from a viral social media post, not from Anthropic."

Next paragraph: "The post comes from an AI newsletter account on Threads. It claims Claude has a feature called Vinyl Mode that you can use to start a record collection, like a record-shop owner who won't gatekeep. But the "unlock" step is just a normal prompt you paste in. It asks Claude to act as a vinyl expert with no snobbery, then fills in the music you love, your budget, and that you're new to collecting. The later prompts cover 10 records worth owning, what turntable setup you need, and how to find records cheap without getting ripped off." This is followed by an inline citation chip with a red siren emoji reading "BREAKING: Claude has a…".

Next paragraph: "So nothing gets switched on. It's a role-play prompt with a catchy name. The "🚨 BREAKING: Claude has a feature called X Mode" format is a common engagement-bait template, and the account uses it to promote its daily email list. Claude has real modes, like voice mode and extended thinking, but Vinyl Mode isn't one of them."

Then: "The prompts themselves are fine. You'll get the same result by asking Claude directly for vinyl recommendations based on what you listen to."

Under "Sources:" a bulleted blue hyperlink reads "Zephyr HQ on Threads — "Vinyl Mode" post". At the bottom are message action icons (copy, read aloud, thumbs up, thumbs down, retry) and the timestamp "1 minute ago".

One of the main reasons fraternities still exist is that membership signals to potential employers that you’re capable of keeping institutional secrets, even when it means covering up illegal behavior.

Black text that reads:

229 new affordable homes are coming to the Bronx.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.

A memorial-style graphic titled "THE CORNELL 7" in large white capital letters across the top, laid over a faded background showing a Cornell University seal and a campus scene with autumn trees. Seven portrait photographs of young men are arranged in two rows with torn-paper edges, each labeled with a name on a black bar beneath.

Top row, left to right: Matthew Ingalls, a young white man with wavy brown hair in a navy blazer and patterned shirt; Diego Sarabia, a smiling young man with short dark curly hair in a dark suit and tie; Winston Lee, a smiling young Asian man in a light suit with a blue patterned tie.

Bottom row, left to right: Scott Kretzschmar, a young man with shoulder-length light brown hair in a black athletic jacket, photographed outdoors; Scott Norris, a smiling young man with short brown hair in a navy suit and striped tie, studio portrait on a blue background; Gillio Lopes, a smiling young man with dark hair and black-framed glasses in an olive T-shirt; Johnathan Newell, a smiling young man with dark curly hair in a blue polo shirt, photographed outdoors among green trees.

I made Nutella babka.
Two loaves of chocolate babka cooling on wire racks over sheets of parchment paper on a kitchen counter. Each loaf is a twisted braid of glossy golden brioche dough with thick ribbons of dark chocolate filling swirling through the surface, deeply caramelized in places. The nearer loaf fills the bottom half of the frame in close-up; the second sits farther back. Behind them is a backsplash of small brick-shaped marble tiles in cream, tan, and dark brown, with a white electrical outlet and cover plate near the top, and a pale wall and cabinet edge at the left.

Close-up photograph of Donald Trump immediately after the July 2024 assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He is seen from the side and slightly above, his blond hair disheveled, with bright red blood streaked across his right ear, cheek, and jaw. He wears a dark navy suit jacket. Surrounding him and pressed close are Secret Service agents in dark suits — one agent's arm and torso fill the upper left of the frame, and a female agent with blonde hair tied back is at lower right, her head turned away. The background is blurred, showing a crowd and bright daylight.

Today I learned there’s a song called “Choosin Texas” but I’ve known about the Austin/Nashville schism for about 10 years and I learned about from the song “Red Dirt Girl.”
Screenshot of a post on X (Twitter) in dark mode. The account is "Dread Moroz" (@Dread_Botlord), with a small profile photo of a swaddled baby with a pacifier, and a "Follow" button at right. The text reads: "(explaining Choosin Texas to a leftist) okay so you need to understand that American Country music has a Sunni/Shia split between Nashville and Austin."
