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.

I wrote about RIVER'S EDGE. I've always thought RE was a spiritual sibling to TWIN PEAKS for the corpse that suddenly, shockingly makes the world strange, and for its teenagers without answers. It feels like it belongs to the 90s, but it only makes sense in the 80s. www.patreon.com/willowcately...

A still image from RIVER'S EDGE of the teenagers who do not know what to do about a corpse.

$The Replacements 1982 sophomore album “Stink” doesn’t open with the screeching sound of Bob Stinson’s aggressive live or die guitar playing, but with the shrill intercom of a Minneapolis police officer announcing over a telecom that the party is over, and no one has to get arrested if they do what he says. The beer-swilling bastards of young can be heard booing in the background, and this goes on for another thirty or forty seconds, until the song kicks into high gear. The song is called “Kids Don’t Follow”, and it’s a fist pumping guitar-driven car-crash of an anthem about growing up hard. It could be called punk rock, but it’s also fitted with an undercarriage of ugly beauty thanks to vocalist and lead singer Paul Westerberg’s poetic turns of phrase, “In my face, out my ear, kids won’t follow, what you’re sayin’, we can’t hear.”. The underground 80s—the stoners, the deadheads, and the kids who were having trouble—are not the pretty plastic people of the popular John Hughes films that have become shorthand for the yuppie decade. There had to be a heavy contrast for what those films suggested, and it had to emanate from somewhere displaced, forgotten, rotten, but true. The disconnects and fractures of the monoculture were apparent in that decade, and they were quite pronounced in the true-crime moral fable of River’s Edge. Director Richard Linklater called it a teen movie for the end of the world, and critic Roger Ebert asserted that it was the best true crime picture since In Cold Blood. Shot in Nowheresville, California, but looking a lot like the Pacific Northwest of Twin Peaks, and the stomping grounds of Soundgarden, Nirvana and Mudhoney, River’s Edge foreshadows the decade to come by being honest about the decay of the 80s. It opens with a pubescent boy, androgynous in denim, and with a Jane Fonda in Klute hair-cut, taking a doll belonging to his little sister and dropping it into a muddy, raging river. This symbolic image is the movie in miniature....$

The State Department promised proof of a censorship conspiracy. The plan backfired.

The State Department leaked documents to prove that officials were censoring conservative Americans. It outed a secret Pentagon employee instead.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”
