I will say also that there is a ton of sexism embedded in calling me a "gossip blogger," a constant refrain from critics over my many years of doing this. As is the routine implication that the mayor and I are best gal pals because she wrote five columns for me over two years.

Anthropic’s Lawsuit Should Absolutely Destroy the Pentagon in Court But make no mistake: The company is not one of the good guys.

I don't think enough people are paying attention to Anthropic's lawsuit against the DoD. Hegseth wants Terminators, while Anthropic just doesn't want Claude to pull the trigger (probably for liability reasons). Dystopia is already here.

This Seattle billionaire has just moved to Miami Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has departed his longtime home of Seattle for Miami, he announced this week on social media.

Howard Schultz has been a boil on the ass of Seattle for years. His employees all hate him and so does the majority of Seattle-urbanites. Good riddance.

Howard Schultz was easily the most despised man in Seattle. He sold the Sonics and polled at 0% when he ran for president, lmao. In honor of his departure, here's a cartoon from The Vault featuring "Lil' Howie" the provocatively-shaped union-busting AI device (from Sept 2022)

Similar taxes are levied in California and Massachusetts and their economies are thriving. Business leaders just don’t want to pay more taxes even as schools and health care urgently need more funding.
