@conservmillen you do good works because you grow in understanding the depths of love Jesus has for you, not to earn His love.

Faith without works is indeed dead, but works are the fruit of the faith, not the other way around!

“Trinity” doesn’t appear in Scripture either, but the concept does 😀 Paul really can’t get clearer than he is in Ephesians 2:1-10. He repeats himself in at least 6 different ways to ensure everyone understands salvation is a free gift of grace “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:4-10

@RetroMoviesDB Gladiator FTW!

Lets hear it!

@ParsaTajik are you now going to let my business account @upanddownai use ads/boosts? i have been trying to reach support on why this functionality was taken away.

The new X ads manager is live!

@disclosetv not ultimately

NOW - Netanyahu: "Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good."

@slbrazz @andrewklavan @MattWalshBlog @benshapiro @michaeljknowles totally agree. whatever happened, I hope it can be reconcilable and they can all do lots of backstages together.

I am so beyond excited for this. However I am deeply saddened that it is not with @andrewklavan @MattWalshBlog @benshapiro and @michaeljknowles. I hope you can all collaborate in the future, because you all do amazing work and we miss the chemistry that was backstage.🙏

@MattWalshBlog Are there any good moral lawyers that would do this Pro-Bono for the sake of truth and decency? There has to be a least one very wealthy lawyer that could fight these evil things. Right?

This is a good example of how defamation works in the modern age, and why it’s not as simple as “just sue them.” The person in this recording is absolutely not Erika. It couldn’t even be Erika because she was like 16 at the time of this recording. And yet this account, amplified by bigger accounts like Ian Carroll, has made this claim recklessly and with malicious disregard for the truth. Can Erika sue over it? Does she have any recourse at all? Sure, she can sue. I hope she does. But in order to win a lawsuit she’d have to prove that this person posted this nonsense knowing it wasn’t true, and then she’d probably have to prove damages, and then she’d have to hope that the broke assholes who posted and amplified it actually have the funds to pay, which they don’t. And all of this will take a long time, years potentially, to sort itself out in court. Even if she wins, it won’t make a difference to the people who’ve already decided that she’s some kind of cartoon villain. They’ll just use the fact of the lawsuit as proof that Erika “has something to hide.” Meanwhile she will have only further highlighted and called attention to the very lies she’s trying to rectify in court. So in other words, it’s the ultimate lose-lose scenario. I’ve experienced much smaller versions of this. People who engage in outright open defamation, slandering my character with totally manufactured lies, and yet I don’t sue for all the reasons above. It’s total bullshit. The upshot is that the slanderers and defamers basically have carte blanche to lie about you and destroy your reputation. Your only recourse is costly, takes a long time, and may damage your reputation even more.

@svpino On my Mac, I have to drag the image to the terminal and hold shift and drop. This is in the regular vscode terminal. Probably a better way.

Some of you are telling me that CMD+v works to paste images, and I'm suffering here because it doesn't work for me. I'm using Ghostty. Maybe it's the terminal? If you can use CMD+v to paste an image from your clipboard in Claude Code, what terminal are you using?

Claude Code tip: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Open Claude Code 3. CTRL+v You can now ask questions about that image. I just learned this. macOS users: Note it's CTRL+v, not CMD+v!

@RapidResponse47 @grok why does he want to block it

@fastermatt @TheObiLeonard Ya. Understandable. As a coder it has opened up so many different avenues. I bet you are way better at using AI for non coding tasks than me. I am still befuddled in what to ask it lol.

@thingsofleon @TheObiLeonard A fried that codes uses Claude. I haven’t a code block in my body unfortunately. I tried replit to code an app and was beyond frustrated. Wish AI knew its limitations instead of lying about what it can do

What the fuck did I just watch?

@fastermatt @TheObiLeonard I have been deep into Claude Code using Opus 4.6. I am pretty amazed.

@thingsofleon @TheObiLeonard Well, it’s still perplexity, but I also pay for Gemini. Perplexity was flipping amazing until recently. I guess I try a few to get the results I need.

@elonmusk what about a “just not Candace Owen’s content” filter.

You can now select topics for your timeline, so if you’re tired of political ragebait, you can select something else 😂 Just tap on For You.

@fastermatt @TheObiLeonard what is your go to these days Matt?

@TheObiLeonard Perplexity Pro was amazing until recently. Now you can’t even use labs. They wrap it all up in their $200 a month tier. Perplexity pro just became ChatGPT free

From Mere Christianity: "A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." — C.S. Lewis

@elonmusk @AndrewKolvet @creation247 but do you call him a liar for saying he was God?

@creation247 I agree with the teachings of Jesus

Someone needs to evangelize Elon Musk Who will lead him to Christ?

@bcherny wen IPO?

A huge part of this raise is Claude Code. Weekly active users doubled since January. People who've never written a line of code are building with it. Humbled to work on this every day with our team.

@AnthropicAI wen IPO?

We’ve raised $30B in funding at a $380B post-money valuation. This investment will help us deepen our research, continue to innovate in products, and ensure we have the resources to power our infrastructure expansion as we make Claude available everywhere our customers are.

@claudeai wen ipo?

Introducing Claude Opus 4.6. Our smartest model got an upgrade. Opus 4.6 plans more carefully, sustains agentic tasks for longer, operates reliably in massive codebases, and catches its own mistakes. It’s also our first Opus-class model with 1M token context in beta.

@bcherny wen ipo?

I've been using Opus 4.6 for a bit -- it is our best model yet. It is more agentic, more intelligent, runs for longer, and is more careful and exhaustive. For Claude Code users, you can also now more precisely tune how much the model thinks. Run /model and arrow left/right to tune effort (less = faster, more = longer thinking & better results). Happy coding!

@Polymarket it's like Forbes is the best predictor of frauds

BREAKING: Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Gokce Guven, accused of $7 million fraud, faces up to 52 years in prison.

@svpino i am sold, hook line and sinker. almost makes me not want to keep up with any other "solution/model/tool".

I don't remember the last time I was so excited about something as I am right now about Claude Code.
