It was only today that I learned that Anthropic Claude was named after Claude the Albino Alligator at the California Academy of Sciences!
So cool!
Sadly, he recently passed.

Now that Pete Hegseth is making cartoon jokes about the accusations that he gave illegal "no quarter" orders, good time to reup this:

Chris Lattner is one of the most influential engineers of the past two decades. He created LLVM, Swift, contributed to TensorFlow, and created the Mojo language.
What was the story about creating Swift - and why did he face resistance inside Apple when wanting to replace Objective C?

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Ronald Reagan wasn't the only American president to recognize the dangers of tariffs. Here is what JFK said in 1962 upon signing the Trade Expansion Act:
Oh, and release the Epstein Files, you dirty paedophile.

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

In other news/thoughts, the escalating meanness toward Canada is so sad and infuriating, especially after seeing "Come From Away" at the Muny this summer.
I mean, this is a people (Canadians) who hospitably sheltered thousands of Americans and other travelers during 9/11.
Unbelievably sad times 💔
