Interesting how Azure suddenly experiences a major outage taking down Grok, Claude, and the reigning ChatGPT right as Astra is being released into the wild. Probably just a coincidence… OpenAI rolling out Astra model after warning of its advanced cyber capabilities www.cnbc.com/2026/09/03/o...

For anyone still wondering why there’s a 3rd place game, you should have watched it today. What it lacked in drama it more than made up for with a roaringly entertaining goalfest, including a hat trick!
Bellingham, Saka, and James celebrating England’s 6-4 win over France. The highest scoring match of the tournament.

Is Messi for real?!? 39 and still one of the best on the field. While he tied the WC goal count with a hat trick(!) Klose did it in only 4 tourneys. Messi took 6. So he better get a few more to really cement his record.

Burger King sure missed a great marketing opportunity in 1985 with Wargames and the WOPR. If the computer had been called BigMac you can be sure McDonalds wouldn’t have passed it up.

Amazing result today. Kimi gets first career win and shares the podium with his idol Lewis Hamilton (first Ferrari podium). Couldn’t script it better.
Winner Kimi Antonelli, Race Engineer Bono, 3rd Place Lewis Hamilton.

How did Netanyahu die? Lots of smoke that’s he’s dead, but no details about what happened. Heart attack? Stroke? Inquiring minds want to know.

Wargames was 50+ years ahead of its time in showing AI military applications are a bad idea.

Learned of Ollama last week, and it’s quite incredible to have AI on the desktop. Also heard a lot about qwen and deepseek. Maybe they work on the web with 300b+, but at 30b locally they were horrible. Slow and very bad. Qwen got stuck multiple times. Not sure why anyone raves about them.

Epstein’s "little black book" totals 97 pages, containing 1,571 names and roughly 5,000 phone numbers. At least 38 names are mysteriously circled, including Donald Trump's. “I got my hands on a copy,” writes Leland Nally. “I made close to 2,000 phone calls.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is a lie. Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein did *not* have a falling out because Trump thought Epstein was "a creep." After all, that is why they were friends in the first place. They had a falling out over money. Epstein had counterbid on a Florida property Trump wanted, driving up the cost.

After having multiple independent pest companies stop by today to solicit business, I’m in the market for a pest-control control service that would keep all these bug people away. The bugs themselves aren’t bugging me, the bug people are.

They should have played off Adrian Brody after the first 30 seconds. He talked forever, while other people had the mic cut. Ridiculous.

The heads of multiple federal agencies have told their employees not to respond to Musk’s email. Seems like Musk would’ve gotten approval for this draconian change in policy from Trump, with Cabinet officers informed in advance. But no, because this admin is in utter chaos.

Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”
America has turned on its triends
Trump's abandonment of his country's allies is real and will endure
Winston Churchill is credited with saying that America does the right thing after exhausting the alternatives. Donald Trump has turned that aphorism on its head. In the past 10 days, he has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. Those who thought America was a friend or ally, notably Ukraine and Nato, are dropping once safe assumptions to cope with a world in which America is an unabashed predator. Countries that were treated by Washington as adversaries, notably Vladimir Putin's Russia, are suddenly America's friend.
There were hinge moments in history when the US displayed its character as global leader, such as Dwight Eisen-hower's repudiation of Anglo-French imperialism in the 1956 Suez crisis, or
Ronald Reagan's 1987 exhortation to the Soviet Union to tear down the Berlin Wall. They defined the world's idea of America. Trump's assertion this week that Ukraine "should have never started" the war is the dark version of those. His account of Russia being provoked to invade Ukraine came straight from Putin's talking points. So too was JD Vance's Valentine's Day speech in Munich in which the US vice-president identified liberal democracy as Europe's real threat from within.
These moments will live in infamy.
What do they tell us about what is com-ing? First, there should be no doubt that Trump's contempt for allies and admiration for strongmen is real and will endure. During his first term, Trump's instincts were curbed by the more traditional Republicans around him. Trump 2.0 is the real article. It is entirely possible that figures like Marco Rubio, his secretary of state, or Mike Waltz, his national security adviser, still believe in the US-led alliance that each once championed. Their private thoughts are irrelevant. Each displayed fealty to Trump's predatory vision of America at talks with Russian counterparts in Saudi Arabia this week. Uk…

Hilarious. After the DOGErs set up the new government-wide all employee email system in late January OPM, where it is housed, sent out an advisory which states explicitly that no employee ever has to respond to any of the emails. See 4.2 and 4.3. www.opm.gov/media/kfpozk...

Not an Eagles fan (though had Hurts as my QB this fantasy season), but very glad they prevented the KC 3-peat (and that Hurts got MVP). Best commercials: Stella Artois Other David, and Hellmans When Harry Met Sally.

The America of the past is dead. It was taken over by private equity in a LBO. The brand remains, but America is no long a beacon of Democracy as a shining city on a hill. It’s a shithole country run by racist kleptocrats.
