S-1: Anthropic spent ~$2.50 on compute and infrastructure for every $1 of revenue in Q1 2025, falling to under 50 cents in Q2 2026, as it seeks profitability (Financial Times) Main Link | Techmeme Permalink

It still baffles me. Why does Ukraine have to give up their territory to Russia?

Has anyone ever seen the southwest flood like this before? Flooding throughout downtown Durango and the Animas Valley following days of heavy rainfall across Southwest Colorado. Prayers for all those affected! #flood #america #southwest #durango #colorado

This should be one huge October Surprise if they can tie it back to Republican incumbants who did all they coulc to protect Trump

“If the AI bubble is going to burst, it’ll likely start as a credit event as neocloud and risky AI debt defaults, creating a cascade of devaluations, reduced spending and contraction (in multiples and growth).” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

(Still page 5) “Today, it’s clear not only that AGI is possible but also that, in some sense, the hard part is already done.” 🤯😡 Okay, so the problem for me here is that my book pub date is 2.5 months from now. And the thesis of my book is (basically) “no it fucking is not. See: history.”

BREAKING: Anthropic files for IPO

Elon Musk is the largest political donor in the history of America video from @jamellebouie.net

"The Cuban regime has stifled any viable domestic opposition. But the withering of the state—a process that has been under way for decades—has accelerated, and is shocking to see up close" From Robert Worth, @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

They better strap in. I'm hoping the pucker factor ramps up to 11 for them.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

The defense secretary might try an intriguing escape route, according to Puck.

That is the most anti-America, racist thing anyone could say.

Huge event. Failed Jared Kushner/Trump luxury hotel project planned for Belgrade played a role in starting expanded protests against Vucic.

Has anyone else noticed that no Republican *incumbent* (you know, that word nobody knows) talked about passing the Big Beautiful Bill?

No fatalism please. A victory agaibst the odds over an authoritarian.

The next 10 days will be monumental, with elections in Serbia, Brazil, Israel and the US. This one was a victory for democracy.

A pretty decent day for democracy.

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin ordered a nationwide two-hour extension of voting in today’s presidential runoff, moving the close of polls from 5pm to 7 pm Brasília time.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Big news: Aleksandar Vučić has conceded defeat in Serbia’s snap parliamentary election, saying the student-backed Student List had won.

Just a step above the college intramural flag football league

Trump Accounts would allow corporations or their owners to make donations by zip code. So, for example, a company trying to set up a data center could give money to families in that region. This is the logic of the bribe state which Trump has enabled and supports. bsky.app/profile/atru...

AG Todd Blanche suggests Corey Lewandowski may not be under investigation after all

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

Complete dick move

Cool. 5th Amendment won't apply (but perjury could).

Tucker Carlson is an “old friend” of Peter Thiel puppet JD Vance. Carlson’s media company received $15 million from 1789 Capital, a Thiel network VC firm where Trump Jr. is a partner. The “conversion” narrative is theater—superficial distancing/dissonance—not disagreement. A succession strategy.

Fascinating

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.

Meanwhile in the surveillance oligarchy of San Francisco... www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/e...

Wrong. Oh so wrong, Marco!

So witkoff/kushner toadie sell out negotiations involves cutting Russian companies in on US energy deals? Are we giving Alaska back to Russia?

It looks like they're playing the Village People at The Villages

Of course he won't.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Severe flooding in the Four Corners region has led to water rescues and impassable roads. Some residents were told to evacuate, while others were advised to shelter in place.

Alpha School, a fast-growing private school network, promises to use A.I. to teach kids twice as much in half the time. While its students’ test scores are high, some parents and educators are questioning its high-tech, low-book model. nyti.ms/4BoCEtK

I could see 60 votes for conviction in the Senate. I think at least a handful of Republicans would vote for it.

Protests over wages, rents and education spread across France, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and Albania this month. Lauren Mushro writes that the surveillance tools governments are using in response deserve as much scrutiny as the unrest itself.

Mike Rogers became chairman of the House Intel Committee. Months later, his wife's defense contracting firm landed a billion-dollar government deal. As the couple's wealth grew, so did questions about the arrangement. @timmiller.bsky.social walks @adamkinzinger.substack.com through the timeline.
