Sitting here thinking "I miss Claude" and intending to gaze wistfully at the usage limit when suddenly:

I love hemisphere-asymmetric meditations

"Ok Codex, please act more like Claude."

Add 1 trillion for McDonald's and I'm in

@mfa_russia Can he give 1 reason we shouldn't nuke Moscow?

📰 FM Sergey #Lavrov's new article «Ukraine, Europe & Global Security». EU leaders should recognize that the model of regional security built in Europe over decades has been destroyed by their own hands. ❌ Trust cannot be restored through ultimatums. t.me/MFARussia/30583

@TheAtlantic @LilaShroff I also usually have a 90 minute siesta during my 12-16 hour daily vibe code session but I play video games to stay sharp with no guilt because I'm a professional pro-gamer

The latest AI tools were meant to free up time and increase focus—but instead they’re overwhelming workers, frazzling minds and shredding attention spans, @LilaShroff writes. theatlantic.com/technology/202…

@JLMelenchon Comment est-ce pire? On peut dire n'importe quoi.

L’unique sujet de réjouissance est le cessez-le-feu. La situation concernant le nucléaire iranien est pire qu’elle ne l’était avant la fin de l’accord, rompu unilatéralement par M. Trump. Le président Macron s’en remet aux États-Unis d’Amérique. Je ne trouve pas normal qu’une amnistie soit prononcée sur le fait que les agresseurs sont les Etats-Unis et Israël. Netanyahu n’a été mis en cause sur rien.

I don't know

@JeffreyGoldberg @gcaw Yet the Chinese position remains to deny reality entirely, what is one to do

.@gcaw: "Normally one would have to pay a lot of money to a discreet professional to be humiliated this badly. Watching Trump and his aides sell the deal is in some ways as humiliating as the deal itself." Read the whole thing: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/06/…

And it wasn't just tax evasion!

At some point you have to stop and ask if flattening the cities of the willing martyrs is really going to help, even if they're begging you to do it. The degree to which Netanyahu is just trying to stay out of jail is non-zero.

It's difficult because about 50% of people are against Israel when an elected representative neighboring government invades and massacres civilians at a music festival (etc) but another 25-40% care more about the lives of the perpetrators than the perpetrators do themselves.

@NewsHour This is why despite disagreeing with Trump individually I think it's probably for the best, politically.

@NewsHour Ukraine could probably beat the US in traditional combat at this point but I would have no scruples if we nuked Moscow.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said Wednesday that the alliance is meeting its military needs, despite a decline in U.S. support. The Pentagon has recently said it would not commit the same level of air and naval assistance to NATO allies in a time of crisis. That's part of a broader U.S.-stated shift towards potential threats from China and elsewhere. Before Thursday's meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels, Rutte said that member nations are filling the gaps left by Washington. He said that, historically, NATO "was overly reliant on the United States. Now the U.S. has adjusted its pledged contributions, and other allies have stepped up to contribute more." America's commitment to the 32-member bloc has become another source of tension with Europe. President Donald Trump surprised allies last month, announcing plans to send 5,000 more troops to Poland, even as he calls to reduce the U.S. military presence elsewhere in Europe. Allied leaders will next meet in July at the NATO summit in Turkey.

@NewsHour It's really hard to get people back into productive manual labor after they get used to offices even if the AI is better at office work. The average American thinks the economy is doing well when the value of their house goes up faster than their mortgage.

A third of Americans approve of the way President Donald Trump is handling the economy, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll, a new low on an issue long considered to be one of his strengths with voters. Sixty percent of Americans overall disapprove of Trump's economic approach. The 33% who approve mark the lowest since Marist began asking the question in 2019. High — but dropping — gas prices may be behind some of that disapproval. Seventy-eight percent of Americans said gas prices had some effect on their household budgets. The data shows Americans are connecting affordability challenges, such as the high price of gas and rising food costs, with Trump's presidency, said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion. For some, "it's Donald Trump, and that's where the slippage comes in. He can't get away with high prices at the pump and at the supermarket and not get tarnished by that," Miringoff said.
