The best summary I have read regarding today’s filing by Anthropic: “An extraordinary business wrapped in a deeply troubling investment proposition.”

Every family has one …. but RFK,Jr must be the effing worst CFO. (My acronym: C#&* of the First Order)

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

@albomp.bsky.social #aupol #auspol The #AUKUS deal and #ANZUS treaty now appear to be not worth the paper they’re written on.

In this @phillipspobrien.bsky.social makes the excellent point, that Starlink dependency is as much as a threat to the US as it is globally. A malevolent operator, making political donations in the hundreds of millions, could easily use the on/off switch to impact domestic political opponents.

Hmm … “ really, really bad”, you say? 🤣 🤣 🤣

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com

This is the shit you love to hear just as everybody is feeling extremely anxious about the opaque ROI of AI and specifically AI capex in Meta’s case. You want a story where your CFO says “it will be really bad if you’re wrong about this”

raise revenue and undercut right-populism with One Weird Trick (capitalists HATE this)

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Here’s some advice from an Aussie, who can’t vote in US elections, but who has a vested interest in their outcomes… If you vote Republican for *any* office in your elections…. YOU ARE A DUMB F*#K! #uspol

If it wasn’t already crystal clear, they are going to use the military to remain in power. This is the purging of the remaining pockets of resistance within the military’s senior ranks. thehill.com/policy/defen...

James Ball@jamesrball.com

"Too often, centre-left governments force themselves into the role of defender of the status quo, taking the blame for failures that often aren’t even their fault, being the one to explain why things are bad, instead of being the people making them better."

Trumpflation is the US export that no nation ever asked for, and which every nation is receiving.

"Trumpflation, the inflation tied to President Donald Trump's tariffs and the Iran war, has entered a more entrenched phase. Core inflation held near 3.3% through the summer even as headline prices cooled sharply" finance.yahoo.com/economy/arti...

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

Since 2001, the USA has waged a ‘war on terrorism’, and made the world less safe. This is what happens when you don’t learn lessons from history.

The Human Cost of 25 Years of US Wars Powerful @aljazeera.com piece (incl. superb infographics) of lives lost to US militarism, the human displacement crisis from countries attacked by the US, and the impact on US soldiers too. US war crimes across the globe. #USA #USPolitics #war aje.news/qpqwvu

Reminds me of Mark Twain: “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”

A photograph of Friedrich Trump shortly after his expulsion from the Kingdom of Bavaria on order of Prince Regent Luitpold based on findings that he, as a draft dodger and operator of a bordello, was a person of poor moral character.

Fabulous. The tide has turned in the US. Democrats who call out Israel's crimes are getting nominated and will be elected in November. Democrats who are still taking AIPAC bribes are toast. Time to ensure Australia's Israel lobby loses their inordinate influence on our politics. #auspol

Melat Kiros is a refugee from Ethiopia who become a lawyer in the USA. Her law firm fired her because she condemned Israel’s genocide of Palestinians Tonight she won the Democratic nomination in deep blue CO-1 against a 15-term AIPAC entrenched corporate Democrat This is how we make America great❤️

The British government rants against the rise in antisemitism knowing that the main driver of the rise is antisemitism is Jewish State of Israel genocide & ethnic cleansing of Palestine & Lebanon which the British government aids & abets with arms & intelligence What hypocrisy! meme via Ian Almond

What a deal maker!! <sarcasm>

Garrett M. Graff@vermontgmg.bsky.social

It’s worth mentioning in every news story that this deal is substantially worse for the US, and far more lucrative for Iran, than the Obama nuclear deal Trump blew up almost a decade ago.

The Socceroos are a true reflection of what Australia is. People from all over the world and different backgrounds trying to make a better life for themselves. We should be very proud of that. Those racist grifters who try to sow the seeds of hate and division will never succeed. 🦘💚💛🇦🇺

To journalists in Australia…, Will you fight for the truth? #aupol #auspol

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

This is an object lesson for us in Australia. When you have political capital - @albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social - use it. The social/economic changes will quickly transform how people interact with each other, and the wider community. #aupol #auspol

Entering month 6 of Mamdani's NYC & Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, & Murder is down 21%—all without "Adding 5000 new cops." Instead, he's invested in public safety free childcare, food, and better funded schools. Safer cities come from investing in people—not punishments.
