I could be anyone. Then again, probably not.
No recent political decision looks worse than the Senate’s failure to convict and disqualify Trump after J6. Even from the perspective of the right, Biden (or Harris) would likely have lost to DeSantis or Haley or whoever because of the cumulative inflation during Biden’s term.
Over the course of just 72 hours, Swalwell went from being the frontrunner to be governor of the nation's largest state to announcing his resignation to head off a potential expulsion vote.
@RNCResearch As the article makes clear, this reporting is based on an analysis of more than 40,000 comments on President Trump’s posts on Truth Social.
GPT-5.5: The “Spud” Leaks & The New Frontier of Omnimodal AI - A New Foundation: Unlike incremental updates, GPT-5.5 (codenamed “Spud”) is rumored to be a completely new pre-trained base, built on nearly two years of focused research. - Big Model Smell: OpenAI’s Greg Brockman points to a major qualitative shift models becoming less rigid and more intuitive, adapting to user intent without over-explanation. - Omnimodal & Agentic: Designed as a natively omnimodal system, GPT-5.5 is expected to function as a highly autonomous agent rather than a traditional chatbot. - Extreme Time Horizons: A key goal is extending long form reasoning handling complex, open-ended tasks over significantly longer timeframes. - Unlocking New Abilities: Early signals suggest it can solve tasks that previously required heavy prompting or weren't feasible for LLMs at all. - The Arena Tease: Rumored first-pass image generations are already surfacing in AI arenas, hinting at early testing or a near-term reveal. - The Pricing War: While competitors like Claude Mythos are rumored at $100 per 1M tokens, OpenAI may price GPT-5.5 more aggressively to drive adoption. - Imminent Rollout: Following recent hints from leadership, “Spud” could arrive soon as a key step toward OpenAI’s broader AGI push.

@conorsen The Iraq War, the GFC, & then twin Sanders-Trump insurgencies in 2016 convinced both party establishments that their politics had been discredited. The failure of the first Trump Admin & Biden Admin hasn’t yet convinced both party’s establishments that populism is a dead end.
My super strong parenting opinion is that while the kids are awake, you come last. No spending all of Saturday golfing. That’s family time. 6 am tee time only, maybe. Wanna go to the gym? Go after the kids go to bed, or wake up at 5. In a few short years, they’ll be out of the house and you’ll have all the time in the world for your own stuff. It’s okay to come last for a while.
