“As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States. The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio . From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.” - Simon Levy … WTF???? 1/

Somewhere in San Francisco a corporate lawyer sighs, opens his laptop, and starts drafting another risk factor to include in Anthropic’s IPO filing.

Also we’re a very distinct Jewish community from most of American Jewry. We are actually East Europe, really Eurasian, culturally as much as Jewish. How many US Ashkenazi will eat syrniki or pelemeni.

Sam@samd.bsky.social

Also, like, it’s very clear that Zohran is referring to multiple aspects of a broadly Eastern European neighborhood of Brighton Beach, some of which are not necessarily Jewish coded (like Syrniki) this is so embarrassing for ADL

And yeah, a lot of us would disagree with what I said and primarily ID as Jewish which is fine and good but come on, as much as you hate it you know the rest of the world calls us “Russian.”

$72B of Anthropic’s $80B loss is a weird accounting issue and not actual dollars lost. They got an investment from Amazon but instead of getting the stock right away, Amazon will get it at IPO. Since then Anthropic is now valued at $1.5T to $2T and the value of stock they “owe” Amazon rose by $72B

I can think of one other reason that makes sense.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

I'm no fan of Lula, but it's hard to express how big a blow his shock win is for Trumpworld. There's a reason they were meddling to support Flavio Bolsonaro. It's not just the graft for Trump allies, and favorable resource access. It's also the political & military support for Trump's LatAm agenda.

Everyone thought Lula was cooked, hopeless. Then he bought a phone and started posting and now he's gonna get a 4th term. The lesson is to never stop posting.

🔥 The Energia plant in Yelets, Lipetsk region, continues to burn after being hit by cruise missiles. The plant has been attacked several times before. It produces batteries and cells for Iskander and Kinzhal missiles, air defense systems, and aerial bombs.

I encourage any future Dem President to think along these lines and keep pressing until the other side is willing to accept a return of the rule of law. Unilateral disarmament doesn't work bsky.app/profile/gran...

Two can play at the crazy Slavic uncle game! Ukraine as the descendant of Kyvian Rus should take over all of Russia's territory and incorporate it into the EU as way of finally casting off the Mongol yoke.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Russian President Vladimir Putin cited genetics to declare that Russians and Ukrainians are “one people” and reiterated his claim to Ukrainian territory, saying: “I think that it is not their territory but the historical territory of Russia.”

washingtonpost.comPutin, citing genetics, claims Ukrainian land ‘is not their territory’The remarks came two days after U.S. envoy, Steve Witkoff, called Putin a “humanitarian” and hailed Russia’s willingness to restart talks to end its war on Ukraine.

Had a chat last night with a bloke from the Adam Smith Institute who managed the fascinating combination of furious at Britain's regulators for being feeble and incapable and solving this by abolishing all of them. Can really see why Liz Truss is still PM.
