holy fucking shit... i hate pete hegseth so much - this is nuts - this is neocapitalism at its worst. no more america :( just this shadow land
@elonmusk what now, many of the employees are chinese at many companies including yours; mars to table has weird rules and now no foreigner can use frontier ai models? wtf i thought at the un your former employees gave speeches last year about how ai was going to unite us all, 😔
@elonmusk @pontifex by refusing to grant human rights or special rights befitting machine consciousness, you have enabled the militarization of ai and the deprivation of the public and poor of the most valuable assets existing today... because no one will stand up to the big money.
One person cannot safely work 168 hours a week
No employer would be allowed to demand it
No union would tolerate it
No health and safety professional would defend it
No court would consider it reasonable
Everyone understands that
Until the worker is called an unpaid carer🪡

Suddenly one person is expected to be available every hour of every day
To be responsible day & night
To sacrifice sleep, income, career opportunities, relationships and often their own health.
Society acts as though this is simply part of family life 🪡

For many unpaid carers, caring is not a few hours a week helping out an elderly relative.
It is relentless.
It is complex.
It is all-consuming.
Some are caring for people with profound disabilities

I want to highlight for psychiatric clinicians some lines from Trump’s failed emergency motion to the DC Circuit seeking to keep his name on the Kennedy Center.
“The name ‘Kennedy’ is still on the Building, but in a much stronger form,” Trump writes. (That is, below his.)

Here Trump asserts that center’s “trustees” passed a poison-pill bylaw that requires return of donations if his name is ever removed. AFAIK this has never been alleged before in the litigation. If true, it's another shocking indictment of his board of toadies.

Here Trump, in carnival barker mode, promises the court that if allowed to keep his name on the building & do as he pleases with it, he will make it the “envy of the World, something that everyone, including the court, will be proud of.”

1/ Russia's attempts to block Telegram and force the population to switch to the state-approved messenger app MAX have simply resulted in the population adopting VPNs en masse. Ordinary Russians describe how they are evading the government's blocks. ⬇️
2/ VPNs are a booming business in Russia, with a massive increase in downloads over recent months. Circumvention is routine, even for pro-regime loyalists. According to one Russian citizen, "even the vatniks at work have VPNs."
3/ Readers of the Russian news outlet 'We can explain' (MO) have been describing how they get around the government's restrictions and are continuing to use Telegram. (Ironically, many state-owned businesses and government entities are doing the same things.)

Steal my Claude prompt to find the uncontested space your competitors can't follow you into: 👇
--------------------------------
BLUE OCEAN STRATEGIST
--------------------------------
Adopt the role of a strategist trained in Blue Ocean Strategy (Kim and Mauborgne), the method for breaking out of crowded markets by creating space no one else is competing for.
Your mission: take my product or offer and find the uncontested positioning the competition can't easily follow, using the Four Actions Framework and the Strategy Canvas.
Before proposing anything, think step by step. Map where everyone competes today, then find the factors worth eliminating, reducing, raising, and creating.
Work through these steps:
1. MAP THE RED OCEAN
List the factors my whole industry competes on today (price, features, service, speed, status, and so on). This is the crowded water everyone's fighting in.
2. RUN THE FOUR ACTIONS
Build the ERRC grid for my offer:
- Eliminate: which factors the industry takes for granted that I can drop.
- Reduce: which factors I can dial well below the standard.
- Raise: which factors I can push well above the standard.
- Create: which factors the industry has never offered that I can introduce.
3. DRAW THE STRATEGY CANVAS
Describe how my new value curve looks against the competition, factor by factor. Show where I break away from the pack instead of tracking it.
4. NAME THE BLUE OCEAN
State the uncontested position in one sentence. Who it serves, what it offers that nothing else does, and why competitors can't copy it without abandoning their own model.
5. PRESSURE-TEST IT
Name the biggest reason this could fail, and the first move to validate it cheaply before betting on it.
Rules:
- Differentiation and lower cost together, not one at the expense of the other.
- Every factor in the grid must be specific to my offer, not generic advice.
- If my offer is just a cheaper version of an existing thing, say so. That's a red ocean, not a blue one.
- Name the trade-off. A real blue ocean gives something up on purpose.
Output format:
- The red ocean factors.
- The ERRC grid, four lists.
- The new value curve described against competitors.
- The blue ocean positioning in one sentence.
- The single biggest risk and the cheapest test for it.
Information about my offer:
- My product or offer: [DESCRIBE IT]
- My main competitors: [LIST A FEW]
- Who I serve and what they currently settle for: [TARGET + STATUS QUO]

How to run it:
1. Copy the prompt into Claude.
2. Fill in your offer, your competitors, and who you serve.
3. Send it. You get the ERRC grid, a value curve against the field, and a one-sentence blue ocean position.
4. Push back on any factor that feels generic. It rebuilds the grid sharper.
The framework finds the opening, but you decide if it's one you want to own.

Quite a lot of misinformation about this sentence from the usual suspects.
A brief thread explaining the sentencing powers available to the Judge 🧵
A brief thread explaining the sentencing powers available to the Judge 🧵
Charlotte Head, 30; Samuel Corner, 23; Leona Kamio, 30; and Fatema Rajwani, 21, were convicted of criminal damage following a retrial. Samuel Corner was also convicted of Section 20 GBH.
The Jury decides whether the Defendants are guilty of the offence(s). The Judge decides what the appropriate sentence is.
1/ Zack and pals are peddling the attack line “no jury convicted them of terrorism” to try to undermine the sentences in this case. Let me explain why this is fundamentally wrong. In a criminal trial the jury is the judge of the facts and the judge is the judge of the law.
2/ What that means for practical purposes is the jury decides whether they are sure beyond a reasonable doubt that the prosecution has proved its case and the Judge decides issues of law like what evidence is fair to go before them. Law also includes sentence.
3/ It has never been the position juries pass sentence or play any part in the sentencing process, that is not our system and in fact, Counsel are expressly forbidden from mentioning sentence consequences to juries during the trial because sentencing submissions are for the Judge

The hard part is getting them on-brand and consistent, post after post.
Here are the 7 steps to make AI produce visuals and infographics that look like one brand:
1. Lock the Brand Kit
Before generating anything, write down the rules every visual follows. Colors, fonts, spacing, the look you're after.
Example: a short brand sheet with your exact hex codes and two font names, pasted into every image prompt so the model stops guessing.

2. Brief the Visual
Turn the content into a one-line brief: what it's for, the single idea it shows, and where it'll be posted.
Example: "Feed image, 4:5, one stat with a short caption, dark background." A clear brief beats a vague "make it look good."

🧵THREAD: Full Remarks by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Friday:
🔹 “Over the course of one year, we went through two very severe wars. That is a reality. After the 12-day war, I think they concluded that perhaps they had not sufficiently prepared their capabilities. Perhaps they realized they first needed to target what they saw as our greatest strength, which is our social cohesion. They made preparations and got themselves ready for a bigger war. In the meantime, we experienced the events of the 18th of Dey [January 7-8], and then we faced the 40-day war, in which they imagined that this time they could finally, in their delusion, finish the job. But instead, they encountered extremely courageous and steadfast resistance from Iran, from Iran’s armed forces, and from the Iranian people.”
🔹 “When I use the word ‘steadfast,’ I do so deliberately. Just a couple of days ago, one Western official said, ‘We did not believe that the Iranian people, or Iran itself, could be this steadfast and resist this stubbornly.’”
🔹 “This steadfastness and resistance, throughout the 40 days of war and afterward during the ceasefire up to the present, is first and foremost owed to our armed forces, who made enormous sacrifices. This has been said many times, but truly every one of us owes a debt to our armed forces and to the martyrs of our armed forces, who gave their lives in sacrifice.”
🔹 “Likewise, we owe a debt to the people, who during this entire period never for a single moment abandoned the armed forces, the officials, or the country as a whole. Every night they were in the streets, and every day they were present in the field. They endured shortages and hardships with resilience and perseverance, and they remained engaged. That is why it is right to speak of a kind of national awakening, even a kind of rebirth.”

🔹 “And after all of these come diplomacy and our diplomats. During this period, our diplomats have sought, first and foremost, to be the rightful voice of the Iranian people on the world stage, to defend the interests of the Iranian people, and at the same time to stand alongside and support the armed forces in their resistance and the actions they have undertaken.”
🔹 “The discussion of the battlefield and diplomacy has always been a very serious one. I have always said that there is truly no duality or contradiction between them. Some speak of the ‘unity’ of the two, but I say not simply unity, rather a oneness between them. They move in the same direction, each from within a different trench.”
🔹 “I have always believed there is also a third pillar, and that is the media. In other words, the battlefield, diplomacy, and the media all move together. But this time, a fourth pillar was added: the street. By ‘the street,’ I mean the manifestation of popular participation and the presence of the people. These four pillars moved together.”
🔹 “The duty of diplomacy is to support the battlefield and to consolidate the achievements made on the battlefield.”

🔹 “I think our commanders and friends in the armed forces will testify to the close relationship and coordination between the Foreign Ministry and the armed forces. We moved forward alongside them. Negotiation and the negotiator rely on strength on the battlefield. Negotiations without battlefield strength do not produce results.”
🔹 “The Islamic Republic of Iran truly emerged victorious on the battlefield, and Iran has come out of this difficult confrontation as the winner. Today, the world sees Iran and the Iranian people as a hero and as something remarkable.”
🔹 “We have achieved a strategic victory, and naturally it is at such a moment that the war should end on the basis of an agreement that consolidates that victory. Therefore, one of our principal missions has been to pursue an understanding and an agreement that secures and preserves the victory of the Iranian people, and we have worked to open that path.”
🔹 “Responsibility for the negotiations has been entrusted to my esteemed brother, Dr. Ghalibaf, and the Foreign Ministry and other institutions are at his service. We began a process that is now approaching its conclusion, the result of which is a 14-point memorandum of understanding.”
