funny to me that last year taylor lorenz was privately trying to suggest i was being funded by peter thiel after we got into an argument over her shitty takes, and now she’s literally running cover for him saying being evil is good. quite a journey she’s on.
Taylor Lorenz: "Listening to this whole interview and these comments in context you see he is actually making a pretty nuanced point. You can criticize him all u want but taking clips out of context to manufacture outrage is so lame— critique what he actually said!"

As someone else noted (sorry, can’t find it now) it really feels like there was a coordinated campaign to boost Schmitt today, with the Axios piece floating him as Vance’s VP setting up his big gotcha attempt at the hearing. They just ignored the fuckup and moved to stage three congratulating him.

My first exposure to this guy was hearing him on Ezra Klein's podcast and being surprised that a computer scientist would say such things. Then, I googled him and learned he was not only *not* a computer scientist, but had never finished high school. Everything made a lot more sense after that.

Obviously we don’t know what he knew but the eye-narrowing, gaslighty approach Pep/City have taken throughout to difficult questions has been very reminiscent of Lance Armstrong. And similarly helped by many observers being very compliant

Honestly the only possible just consequence for city is a massive points deduction (in the hundreds) applied in such a way that their points at the end of this year are zero, and every time they come back into the league in the future, the points they earn are subtracted perpetually until reaching 0

Reading the independent report into Man City's financial "arrangements" now, stopping after every paragraph, saying "Jesus"..."JESUS!"..."Holy fuck!" and again. This is beyond anything anyone imagined. Also started to wonder whether criminal proceedings are in the picture now.

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.

This poll from Cook is bonkers. A *huge* plurality of voters (43% overall, 61% of Ds) want Dems to focus on changing the political system overall vs. just opposing (21%, 36% of Ds) or working with Trump (35%, 3% of Ds).

You tax things you want less of. It’s why they tax cigarettes. To make it too expensive to bother with that bad habit It is a disgrace this logical fallacy is applied to housing. If you believe in IZ you don’t actually want more housing, you just want certain housing, which prevents other housing

Just want to point out that truth and reconciliation committees result in literally zero justice, and anybody acting like they're a good idea for us should not be taken seriously.

I agree with this sentiment, but I don't want a South African style Truth and Reconciliation Committee. I just want criminal prosecutions for those who merit that and the names of everyone else on a blacklist that will follow them for the rest of their lives.

Nobody was prosecuted and the university did nothing. The woman in the Cornell 7 case was drugged and raped by seven men for hours. She reported it. None were criminally charged. Rape is a crime. /2

Aaron Persky. That's the name of the judge who normalized wrist slapping for rapists when he talked about Brock Turner's lost future over the damage Turner did to that woman. I remember his name. I remember that California held a special election to yank him from the bench. And succeeded.

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.
