In which yours truly observes: 'Anthropic is clearly one of the leaders of the AI industry, and no investor wants to miss out on what they’re hoping could be the next Google. But when you look under the hood of the company’s IPO filing, you see nothing but red flags' ktla.com/news/nationw...

A neighbor spotted a family of possums under my car last night, so I’m glad I deferred the suspension work. My dealer completely overlooked the presence of marsupials in the undercarriage

I'd feel a whole lot more comfortable with my car dealer saying I need $2,000 worth of suspension work if they didn't also want to charge $50 to change the license plate light bulb

Coming up on #KTLA: It's estimated that tariffs added about $1,200 in costs to U.S. households before the Supreme Court ruled the taxes illegal. That money is now being refunded to retailers. Are they in turn giving it back to customers in the form of lower prices? Apparently not
