π΄ BREAKING: Secret documents obtained by Ukraine reveal Russian military losses have now topped 1.3 million soldiers.
I'm not going to start guessing this reporter's sources, but there are absolutely defence contractors in/around Boston who could be privy to this sort of info. (I believe Anthropic has offices there, too.)
And, fwiw, it basically lines up with other reporting we have.
It still could be wrong!
A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
this is obviously not the most important thing, here, but what the fuck is going on with the congressman's tan (er, sunburn)
In the chaos in Iran, you might have missed the news that Russia's operational momentum has slowed, even reversed, on the frontlines in Ukraine.
This reporter's question absolutely made my day:

is it good news
Come up with something original! www.wired.com/story/uvb-76...
Someone at the CIA noticed a new numbers station on the shortwave, and the administration is determined to revive fears of an Iranian fifth column illegals.
Come on guys. abcnews.com/US/iran-acti...
Forget NATO and and Eastern Bloc.
The world is increasingly being organized into Trump sycophants and everybody else.

Thanks to PragerU and the White House, we have the Freedom Truck which hopes to educate kids via AI slop George Washington (and others) of their America can do no wrong version of US history. @mjgault.bsky.social reports.

The article, in fairness, was written by @nickturse.bsky.social !
"Asked about the administrationβs plan for Iran after the war, that official responded: 'Whatever.'"

The WH using a QAnon catchphrase means a very exciting day for a lot of terminally disappointed Q believers. If Trump is still running Q, why does Q never get anything right??
New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girlsβ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.
The Iranian Assembly of Experts says they've selected a new Supreme Leader. But it's a secret, for now.
POST EXCLUSIVE A classified report completed by the National Intelligence Council a week before the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran found that even a large-scale assault would be unlikely to oust its military and clerical establishment

Inspired by ProPublicaβs new database, I created a visualization of the nearly 400 LLCs that make up Trumpβs business empire.

Sorry, my initial post was wrong (as @chronotope.aramzs.xyz pointed out.) This reporting says AI systems were used for targeting was used in Iran, and that it was likely responsible for the school strike. It doesn't identify Claude. But we do know Claude was being used: www.wsj.com/livecoverage...
You're right, it doesn't mention Claude. We know Anthropic/Claude was used in strike targeting because of reports from the WSJ and others.
But, yes, my post has less information than the story. Which is why I linked to it. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...
The story confirms that Claude is being used to make operational decisions, and the source says that's likely how it came to hit the school. I probably. Could have added a qualifier, but that is what the article says.
Oh sorry, both @thisweekinwoo.bsky.social and the author @bigdaddyjohnjohn.bsky.social are here
Local Massachusetts weekly says it's confirmed that the Pentagon was relying on Claude for strike targeting, which is how they came to bomb a girls' school.

I can't get over this, from @jonathankarl.bsky.social. Trump is working the phones to journalists, talking about his war as a "performance."
The state of the Star (and the Globe!) have made me feel optimistic about Canadian media for the first time in a very long time.
Well they hired me, so that's a bad sign.
Seriously: It was taken private by Jordan Bitove a few years ago, and he has made pretty clear that he wants a robust old-school newspaper with a strong accountability focus, a big investigative team, etc.
Oh wow. There may finally be accountability for the psychopaths who joined the siege of Sarajevo for sport. The so-called 'Sarajevo Safari.'
This claim has been around for decades. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...
