I see the commits say they were co-authored by Claude, but from having read the code, I think you haven’t given Claude enough credit.

I wish I was their credit card, because then I might finally be in a happy relationship with someone who loves to use me this hard.

It’s not a left or right battle like the Epstein class wants you to believe. It’s the Billionaires and Trillionaires vs everyone else.

The United States needs tons of millionaires with less billionaires and trillionaires. Also, the United States needs healthcare as a human right.

Goodness, this is an incredible article. Here's the first paragraph - which I've purposely split into three to facilitate reading.

We give thanks this Sunday for a nifty little reminder that it only apparently takes thousands upon thousands of Americans screaming at a member of Congress for weeks at a time to make that congressman–a senator, in fact–publicly acknowledge the headlines about his own daughter’s (and granddaughter’s) claimed abuse at the hands of her former husband, who is naturally another Republican congressman.

We’re talking of course about junior Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno, recently vying for the title of the most pathetic man in Congress, given that he spent several years pretending not to know anything about the fact that his daughter Emily Moreno had accused her congressman ex-husband, Ohio Rep. Max Miller, of repeated emotional and physical abuse of her and their two-year-old daughter.

Despite knowing all about this for at least the last two years by his own admission, Bernie Moreno intentionally went out of his way not to say a bad word about the fellow GOP congressman who was his former son-in-law, instead tacitly supporting his reelection in the upcoming November midterm elections, in a race that was until recently seen as a very safe one for Republicans. Not so much, now.

Trump is pushing for the AI data center takeover of America while he stands to personally profit from it. We dug through Trump's financial disclosures, and discovered that he secretly bought up to $25 million in the handful of construction firms building out the AI data center boom Americans are actively opposing. Some of those same companies saw their stocks nearly double in value since Trump took office. It’s not just Big Tech donors getting rich off pro-AI policies – we followed the money back to Trump himself. Producer/Host: Lucy Stockton Editor: niklaak Supervising Producer: Court Fuller

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s staff cut off a USA Today interview question about the grossest food he has ever eaten, moments after he admitted eating "stuff I find on the street."

"…I will literally eat anything… I don't have a gag reflex," Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Chambers. "When I travel, I'll eat, you know, even stuff I find on the street, you know, street vendors, cooking."

"Like, is there stuff that you've eaten that people are like, wow. You ate that," Chambers asked.

"You mean, like, something gross? Or?" Robert F. Kennedy Jr. replied.

"Yes. Maybe gross for others. Yeah. Not for you," Chambers said.

"I'm getting a signal not to answer that question," Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said, shutting down the line of questioning.

If you choose to be reborn, you will not have magic powers, but you will unlock a status window and a skill tree that you can use to give yourself new skills and abilities and improve your physical characteristics.

You'll get the same thing if you choose to be reincarnated, however, magic will be a factor. And the age of the world will be somewhere like 50-ish years before the full rollout of the industrial revolution, technology-wise.

However, you will not be the hero or the chosen one. You're just going to be a person with a perk.

The rice: lightly fry some cinnamon stick, green cardamom pods, cumin seeds, and cloves in olive oil. Add rinsed rice and stir it fast so it doesn't stick. Add the water, some tumeric and salt. Mix it all up and put the lid on. Turn to high or medium high, bring to a boil, reduce to low, check it in 10 minutes to see if it's done.

Once done the cardamom pods, cinnamon stick and cloves should have floated to the top. Fish those out and discard them.

The veg: Julienne some carrots, dice some onions, pull out some frozen peas, grab some shelled sunflower seeds. Pull out your wok and add some oil. On high heat add the carrots, onions and some salt. Stir fry until the onions start to turn translucent. Add maybe half a cup of water the peas and put a lid on it. Once the water has mostly evaporated add some garam masala and the sunflower seeds. Stir fry until done.

Mix the two together.

Depending on what you actually count as a “video game” the industry is now generating somewhere between 200 and 350 billion dollars a year in annual revenue, making it by far the largest entertainment sector in the world regardless of whatever your exact definitions may be.
More people are playing video games than ever before, they are playing them for longer, and (the not so secret reality is that) video game companies have gotten a lot better at getting money out of them while they are.
Over what should have been the best half decade in the history of the industry, the overall market is down by as much as 30% from its peak, in the same time that the broader market has more than doubled. Sooo how is it possible that even with record sales, record new revenue streams, record numbers of new players, and record new opportunities to monetize that new audience… video game companies have still managed to screw this up so badly?
