It should be a much bigger story that oil prices surged because of Trump’s illegal war in Iran, forcing the White House to ease sanctions on Russian oilβ€”only for Russia to take that money and help Iran target American troops.

Last month, Anthropic told @haydenfield.bsky.social "Claude, and other AI models, are a new kind of entity altogether." Anthropic is "investigating" "questions about potential ... consciousness ... but we remain deeply uncertain about these topics." Great way to keep up the hype!

I tried hard to get a book of Waterhouse paintings published at NIP, including that one. His daughter pitched it but an art book is just expensive to do right.

God, I hope she doesn't make one of those Hallmark Christmas movies where big city girl returns home, meets hunky guy, and remembers the joys of terrorizing her dogs instead of immigrants.

RFK Jr. wants Dunkin’ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

Congratulations! I'm coming up on 19 in October (though I didn't cover as much music the first year or so).

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post β€” including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East β€” based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

16 yrs old: Me & a bud take the NBC tour in Burbank. We're the ONLY LA folks there, we befriend an NBC page, he arranges for us to visit the Tonight Show stage. We stand on Johnny's monologue star, sit in his desk chair, meet him backstage, watch the show.

To put this in context: Consistently, about 13 percent of Americans believe in Bigfoot. So war with Iran polls slightly better than Bigfoot.

They told me if I voted for Kamala the US would continue to be involved in foreign wars, and they were right!

Iran is an evil regime and deserves to fall. But that's not a good argument for launching a war of regime change without Congress and against the will of the American people.

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

People forget that shows like The Daily Show and South Park make money. And sometimes corporate bosses like money way more than kowtowing to an admin that demands fealty.

I would take that mix and add in "Another Lover" by Giant Steps and have the perfect late 80s playlist.
