internal for Risch (R) in Idaho. bad news: it shows Achilles down by 26. good news: the last time Risch released an internal a month ago he was up by 35. better news: 3 points of that is slippage from the Risch total to take him under 50.

1) this is true of almost every enterprise: doing a thing has both costs and benefits. if we only did costless things we wouldn't do very many things 2) why the fuck would you say it like this tho
the world should accept some bad things happening

I suppose that’s one way of putting it, Wikipedia
Beyond these supernatural elements, Bellairs's novels evoked "a child's concern with comfort
and security in his real world," addressing childhood fears of abandonment, loneliness, and bullying, as well as coming of age.

look maybe this will redefine education, or maybe that won’t be what happens
Pursuits are the core unit of education at The Academy. They are personal projects, quests, startup ideas, and rabbit holes that define the student experience. At any given point, students will be working on one or multiple Pursuits, and personally choose what they work on. Our goal isn't to tell students what to build - it's to inspire them to set audacious goals and exercise extreme ownership and agency over the outcome. If a Pursuit involves a three-week trip to Japan, The Academy will help pay for the trip and connect you to the right people when you land.

A final note, for the parents You've known your child was exceptional for years. You've watched them do things most adults couldn't, teach themselves skills nobody assigned, and outgrow every room they've been put in. You've seen their spark, and you know it needs a place to flourish.
With exceptional operators teaching them, access to the a16z network, and alongside some of the most exceptional young builders on the planet, they'll be in the place most optimized for their special kind of magic.
You were always right about how special your child is. We built The Academy to prove it.

yeah buddy that's depression. glad you're feeling better now and sorry that happened! if it happens again consider talking to someone who can, you know, clinically diagnose you
“It was an extremely difficult time. I’ve never felt like that in my life. I was sick. I’d go home, I’d get in bed and I wouldn’t get out. I’d get in bed as soon as I got home, I wouldn’t get out of bed until I went to work. I’d be late going into work. In the weekend – I wouldn’t get out of bed all weekend. I’d just sit in bed. It was crazy. But, is it depression? I don’t know, maybe. I find it hard to self-diagnose depression. There’s, like, serious cases of depression, like clinically diagnosed… Like it’s kind of irresponsible to say.”“It was like a through not around thing, ” Macdonald said. “I have to prioritize the routine and the health part of it… If I could get some physical, personal wins, then I could just start stacking those things. But, I’d take two hour-long walks. I’d call some of the players. But I need to get out. So I’d work out, walk, try to try to eat better. I was drinking a lot. Yeah, that was probably the toughest, most difficult stretch of my life, honestly – that first few months.”

hrm yes this will work
Jev can materially lighten 9A, specifically the per-persona reconciliation stage.

  - One measured 9A run spent six Sonnet reconciler calls, 467,202 reported high-water context tokens and 693 seconds wall time. These aren’t billed-token figures, but they show the load. [ran: 20260818 usage.jsonl]
  - Jev classified 72 historical finding pairs across four safe runs in four calls and 10.3 seconds uncached. [ran: private Jev replay]
  - Its five ≥0.98 disagreements with the historical labels were, on manual inspection, five genuine duplicate findings that 9A had failed to join. The reference labels—not Jev—were wrong in those cases.
  - The safe design is deterministic candidate generation → Jev same-defect probabilities → automatic merge only at a calibrated high threshold → Sonnet handles ambiguous clusters. Every unmatched finding survives, and failure falls back to the existing reconciler.

this is becoming a way too common interaction with Astra for me and i guess it's on me as a prompting fail but it is pretty annoying when Astra goes "I'll do X" and I say "great" and then i also have to say "so are you doing X" before it does X

• Yes—that’s the September 13 rehearsal build, not confirmation of the latest deck today, September 15. My message above refers to that earlier work.


› lots of work through claude since


• Then treat that handoff as stale. I won’t rebuild from or overwrite the September 13 files; I’ll check Claude’s latest handoff and current artifacts before making further changes.


› great.


• 👍


› so are you doing that re: checking status?


• I hadn’t started checking yet. I’m using the kickoff skill now to find Claude’s latest handoff and current files; I won’t change anything.

here’s a good one. there are ~seven more grafs like this for this episode
After demonstrating eating a piece of bread, Victor Frankenstein gives his reanimated corpse the chance to pick his own named which is "Proteus" after a character in Shakespeare's play The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Later, Victor leaves to meet with Vanessa Ives and Sir Malcolm, explaining to a distraught Proteus that he cannot come with him yet, but Victor will be back soon. With Vanessa and Malcolm, Victor is bade to study the body of the vampire they killed in episode one. Vanessa has removed the creature's skin using flesh eating beetles, so now all the hieroglyphics are visible.
When Victor inspects the creature's blood, he finds that it appears to be human, but with unknown qualities. Victor advises Vanessa and Malcolm go to a hematologist.

ok this is about the worst and least graceful possible way to be a team player after a contested primary but it is definitely better for the good guys than defecting to Rogers so: thanks but minimally, Dana Nessel
“We have a moral imperative to place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest and, yes, even our own survival,” Nessel told attendees in her remarks at the Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus’ annual “Summer Simcha” gathering, where she was honored, according to reports confirmed by Jewish Insider.

Nessel’s comments did not explicitly refer to Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate nominee who has faced profound skepticism from Jewish Democrats over his hostile rhetoric toward Israel as well as his equivocal response to a violent terrorist attack on a synagogue outside Detroit in March.
