Byron the bulldozer as an allegory for how toxic masculine expectations can ruin lives
A brief analasys:
Byron is very insecure. He fears expressing who he is to avoid being seen as unserious/weird, so he holds himself to an unhealthy standard, while putting down others who he sees himself in (namely Jack and Alfie)

I see an origin story of being a joyful young dozer who always got put down for not being serious and not taking orders as gospel and it takes a good long while for the Pack (Sodor) to undo this mentality that was instilled in him. That's why Jack and Alfie are so important here.
Claude Code ships with a built-in skill for working with the Claude Platform.
Useful for model migrations, using API features (e.g., prompt caching), or onboarding to newer APIs like Claude Managed Agents.
Useful for model migrations, using API features (e.g., prompt caching), or onboarding to newer APIs like Claude Managed Agents.
Running "/claude-api migrate" in Claude Code reviews your codebase and walks you through updating model names, prompts, and effort settings for a new Claude model (like Opus 4.7).
Running "/claude-api managed-agents-onboard" in Claude Code helps you configure a Claude Managed Agent for your use case, and gives Claude Code the context it needs to monitor and debug it afterward.
What bugs me more than anything else the IDF has done in Lebanon is using medevac helicopters in an FPV environment without creating a "jamming strong point" with multiple short range anti-drone ADA MG's around the perimeter for protecting the medevac chopper.

The IDF is far, far better with EW than the COIN-Head US Army flag ranks and they just didn't bother.
To borrow from "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan," this is what "two dimensional thinking" ground force officers do when they have never faced a real air threat for decades.

Claude Opus 4.7 isn’t a coding tool.
It’s a thinking partner most people are using completely wrong.
And that mistake is costing them hours every day.
Even Andrej Karpathy thinks differently about this.
Here’s how to actually use it (9 tweets):

Most people still treat Claude Opus 4.7 like this:
“write this function”

“explain this code”
That’s not leverage.
That’s just faster Googling.

Better:

Introducing Moonlake's 3D Agent.
Our agent acts like a technical artist that can build and reconstruct articulated assets and large-scale editable scenes with hundreds of objects from a single image and can improve its generations continuously.

Learn more in the thread below.
Since last month when we released an early preview of our agent, we've been collecting datasets of reasoning trajectories on world-building workflows. Today, we're bringing Blender computer use capabilities to it to automate real work and unlock more time for creative work.
It can model assets from scratch, with separate parts and articulation without relying on any pre-defined rules.
Apolitical people enrage people that deeply care about politics because apolitical people are usually smarter and have better taste than the deeply political people
It's always the most insufferable pretentious motherfucker you'll ever meet who loses their shit if you say "I don't care about politics"
Politics is supposed to facilitate people being able to live outside of politics. People don't live to discuss tax policy and "deconstructionism"

'Based on 2025–2026 budget proposals and actions, the Trump administration has aimed to cut federal spending significantly, targeting an estimated $346 billion in entitlement reductions by 2027. Key cuts include welfare (SNAP, Medicaid, TANF), student loans, environmental programs, the arts, and international aid, alongside cutting 220,000 federal workers. [1, 2, 3]
Major Federal Program Cuts (Proposed/Proposed 2025-2027):
Health and Human Services: Proposed massive cuts, including the elimination of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and CDC.
Welfare and Social Safety Net: Deep reductions to SNAP (food stamps), TANF, and the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG).
Medicaid: Proposed cutting $610 billion over 10 years by tightening eligibility and implementing asset tests.
Energy and Environment: Proposed elimination of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and substantial cuts to EPA programs.
Education: Significant cuts to the Department of Education, including reducing teacher training grants.
International Aid: Drastic cuts to the State Department, with some proposals suggesting cuts of up to 83%.
Independent Agencies: Elimination of funding for NPR, PBS, and significant reductions for the National Science Foundation.
Staffing: A reduction of roughly 220,000 workers across federal agencies, as reported in early 2026. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
Key Budgetary Targets:
Crop Subsidies: Proposed reducing agricultural subsidies by $22 billion.
Housing: Elimination of programs like HOME and Choice Neighborhoods.
Transportation: Cuts to Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor service.
Drug Addiction Treatment: Proposed restructuring that impacted treatment funding. [1, 6, 9, 10]
These proposals generally seek to reduce the size of the federal government, eliminate funding for specific cultural and academic entities, and restructure social welfare into state-level block grants. [1, 11]

'His budget is a disaster for average Americans but a boondoggle for the corporate war machine!
A military boondoggle is a wasteful, over-budget, or unnecessary defense project that persists despite lack of utility, often driven by contractor interests and poor oversight. Examples include the $25M "Boondoggle HQ" in Afghanistan and canceled weapons programs costing billions, such as the Future Combat System. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Examples of Military Boondoggles:
The "$25 Million Building" (Afghanistan): A 64,000-square-foot command center in Helmand province was built and rarely used, exemplifying waste in, according to ProPublica.
Failed Weapons Systems: Over $30 billion was spent on five major army projects—including the Future Combat System and RAH-66 Comanche—that were cancelled, reports The National Interest.
Sgt. York Anti-Aircraft Gun (1977-1985): A massive, failed procurement effort deemed too slow, per thefmextra.com.
Sentinel ICBM Program: Projected to exceed $125 billion, causing concerns over wasting money on unnecessary weapons, according to a report from UCS blog.
"Marbles in Cat Rear Ends": Cited by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as an example of wasteful medical research funding deemed a "boondoggle," as reported by TikTok and Instagram. [2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9]
Why They Occur:
Contractor Influence: The close, often complex, relationship between the military and contractors creates scenarios where projects are difficult to cancel, detailed in Goodreads.
Bureaucratic Inertia: Once large funds are allocated, projects continue even if initial goals are failed, notes Wikipedia.
Lack of Audit/Oversight: The Pentagon’s inability to pass audits allows funding for unnecessary projects to go unnoticed, as analyzed in The Nation. [1, 10, 11]

YOU HAVE 740 SATURDAYS LEFT (if you live to 80).
I wasted 340 of mine scrolling.
Here are 18 things to do with a Saturday that you'll actually remember:
1. Drive to a town you've never been to with no plan at all.

1. Drive to a town you've never been to with no plan at all. No Google. No itinerary. Just show up and wander. Get lost on purpose. The best memories come from unplanned detours, not researched destinations you found on TripAdvisor.
2. Take yourself to breakfast alone at the nicest cafe in your city. Order what you actually want, not what's cheapest. Sit by the window. Watch people. Being comfortable alone in public is a superpower most people never develop because they're terrified of judgment

3. Hike to somewhere you can see your entire city from above. Early morning. Watch it wake up. Perspective on where you live changes how you feel living there. Small problems look smaller from mountain tops.
4. The "Street Photography" Challenge.
Take a camera (even just your phone) and walk through the busiest part of your city. Your mission is to capture 10 photos of interesting strangers or moments.
