There is a category of Female Liberation theologians I call "Divorce Evangelists" in my new book, Supervillains. They offer one simple, life improvement hack for whatever is ailing you: Divorce. "You can do better, girl!"
Beware the Divorce Evangelists! They are rich, famous, nipped, tucked, and utterly miserable. Do not heed their siren song to abandon your children and your men!

Anthropic is preparing for plan token usage cuts that OpenAI announced.
I used to get excited about these subtle UI changes, but recently they have been precursors to unfavorable announcements.
We have been asking for usage resets for months to match Codex usage resets, and we finally got them implemented last week for Claude with the Opus 5.5 release.
So why add another "5-hour reset" section (new)?
My guess is we are getting a $500 plan as well, which will be the new $200 plan (in terms of usage value), and our beloved Max plan value will be slashed in half.

🚨 BREAKING: CLAUDE TEAM JUST ADDED BANKED RESETS TO OUR USAGE SCREEN 🚨
I just switched over to my main account and saw this banked reset button there, and confirmed I have Opus 5.5 available now on the web.
Has anyone given Opus 5.5 a run yet?
ALT Claude now has banked resets available on the usage tab
This usage screen should not be popping up in my dreams (nightmares).
I almost burned through my second Claude Max Pro plan in a few busy days. One key observation as we prepare for Opus 5.5:
If the team can make Opus usable again as your main daily driver/orchestrator vs. having to use Fable, it would reduce Fable/compute dependency and SIGNIFICANTLY save on token usage.
Even with tuned model delegation, having to run Fable as the orchestrator because of a lack of trust in Opus is the main source of my token drainage.
If we could just get Opus 5.5 to be competent enough to follow instructions and be mildly reasonable, we could tap Fable in workflows when needed, and work would be less disruptive.

In the days, weeks and months after the 9/11 attacks, more than 300 dogs took part in the search, rescue, and recovery efforts at ground zero, according to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, which refers to the dogs as the "four-legged 9/11 heroes." abcnews.link/Nctzkzu

More than 300 dogs helped search for survivors on 9/11. In fact, the last person rescued at ground zero was found by a search and rescue dog.
The search was mentally and physically taxing on the dogs, who walked across huge piles of debris and smoldering rubble. As the days went by, dogs became sad when they were no longer finding people alive. So, to keep their spirits up, their handlers staged mock rescues. They would have people hide under debris for dogs to find. This boosted the dogs’ morale as they continued their work.
In addition to rescue dogs, therapy dogs were brought to the scene to provide comfort to emotionally drained and traumatized police officers and firefighters.
Dogs are the best thing in the world and we do not deserve them.

Argentina Advances.
You could almost predict this outcome once England scored and brought on that extra defender for their attacker.
You can’t sit back on defense and let the GOAT loop crosses and passes in and around the box for 20 mins.
Playing not to lose often ends like this.

With all due respect to the Office of the President, this post contains several claims that are factually inaccurate and theologically misguided, and as a Catholic I feel compelled to respond.
1. The Pope was not elected to please any president.
Pope Leo XIV was elected by 133 cardinals from across the world in a sacred conclave, on the fourth ballot, on May 8, 2025. 
The Holy Spirit guides the conclave, not American politics.
To suggest that “if I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican”  is not only historically ignorant but theologically offensive to every Catholic on earth.
2. He was not an unknown outsider.
Pope Leo XIV served as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops under Pope Francis, one of the most powerful roles in the Vatican, responsible for selecting bishops for dioceses worldwide. 
He was one of the most qualified candidates in the College of Cardinals.
3. He is deeply rooted in service, not politics.
An Augustinian missionary who worked for decades in Peru, Pope Leo XIV dedicated his life to the poor and the Gospel long before any political figure noticed him. 
His name honors Leo XIII, the Pope who championed workers’ rights and the poor during the Industrial Revolution, a tradition of Catholic Social Teaching that predates any modern political party.
4. The Pope’s role is prophetic, not partisan.
When the Pope speaks on peace, nuclear weapons, immigration, or the dignity of nations, he is fulfilling the mission of Christ, not opposing any government.
His first words as Pope were “Peace be with you all,”  echoing the Risen Christ (John 20:19).
A Pope who is silent on injustice would be failing his divine mandate.
5. Demanding a Pope “get in line” with a president contradicts 2,000 years of Church history.
From St. Peter before Nero, to St. Thomas More before Henry VIII, to John Paul II before Soviet communism, the Church has never existed to validate earthly power.
“We must obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29)
As Catholics, we pray for all leaders, including President Trump.
But we stand firmly with our Holy Father.
Habemus Papam. And he answers to God alone.

I am a Web3 Ambassador at World Liberty Financial.
There are 12 of us on the team page. 4 are named Trump. 3 are named Witkoff. The page calls us "the passionate minds shaping the future of finance."
600,000 wallets bought our memecoin. They lost $3.87 billion. The family collected $350 million in trading fees. It launched 3 days before the inauguration. 80% of the supply went to CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC. I did not choose the names. I designed the allocation, the vesting, the timing, and the distance between the product and the President.
The distance is my best work.
I am the reason these events are unrelated.
World Liberty Financial sends 75 cents of every dollar to DT Marks DEFI LLC. That is the family entity. Zero capital contributed. Zero liability assumed. I wrote this into the Gold Paper. Page 14. The lawyers bound it in white leather. The binding cost more than the due diligence.
Justin Sun invested $75 million. He was facing SEC fraud charges. The SEC dropped the case. He is now our advisor. These events are unrelated.
Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to federal money laundering violations. He received a presidential pardon. The SEC dropped its lawsuit against his exchange the same week we listed our stablecoin. Then the exchange settled a $2 billion deal entirely in that stablecoin. These events are unrelated.
Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed of BitMEX pleaded guilty to Bank Secrecy Act violations. All 3 received presidential pardons. Then the company itself was pardoned. $100 million in fines. Gone. An American first. These events are unrelated.
Sheikh Tahnoun of Abu Dhabi paid $500 million for a 49% stake that was never publicly disclosed. Then the administration approved semiconductor exports to his companies over national security objections. These events are unrelated.
Everything is unrelated. I track the unrelatedness on a dashboard I built. The dashboard has 7 columns now. I am proud of the dashboard.
On May 22nd, 220 people paid a combined $148 million to eat dinner with the America First president. Over half were foreign nationals. Justin Sun paid $18.5 million for the first seat. He visited the Executive Office Building the day before. I designed the seating chart. I put it on the Investor Confidence page. That page is doing well.
The team page lists 3 Witkoffs. All 3 are Co-Founders.
Steven Witkoff is the President's Middle East envoy. He testified as a character witness at the President's fraud trial.
His son Zach runs the crypto operation. His son Alex is also a Co-Founder. I have not been told what Alex co-founded.
The father runs the diplomacy. The sons run the platform. The family runs both. That is organizational efficiency.
Barron is 19. His title is Web3 Ambassador. The same as mine. Donald Jr. called the conflicts of interest "complete nonsense." Eric launched a Bitcoin mining company called American Bitcoin. America First. The mining partner is Hut 8. Hut 8 was founded in Canada. America First means the name.
On March 6th, the President signed Executive Order 14233 creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The order directs the government to hold Bitcoin. The President's family holds billions in Bitcoin. The executive order appreciates the President's assets by presidential decree. I did not write the executive order. I made sure it looked unrelated to the portfolio.
Trump Media put $2 billion of Bitcoin on its balance sheet. The ticker symbol is DJT. His initials. The press secretary said it is absurd to insinuate the President profits off the presidency. Forbes calculated his crypto holdings exceed the combined value of Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower. I would call that absurd too. That is my job.
600,000 wallets bought in. 1 of them asked why she could not withdraw her funds. I told her the protocol was experiencing dynamic market conditions. She asked what that meant. I sent her the Gold Paper. She said she had read the Gold Paper. I muted her channel. Dynamic means the conditions change. The condition that changed was her access.
A congressman called us the world's most corrupt crypto startup operation. We put it on a coffee mug. Ironic merchandise. $45. The revenue split on the mug is also 75/25.
My own tokens vest on a different schedule. I wrote that schedule. That is not in the Gold Paper.
The memecoin funds the family. The family funds the platform. The platform funds the stablecoin. The stablecoin funds the deals. The deals require the pardons. The pardons free the partners. The partners fund the platform. The President signs the executive orders. The executive orders inflate the assets. The assets fund the family.
I am the reason these events are unrelated.

R.I.P. Army Staff Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington
The family of a U.S. service member who died in combat during the conflict in Iran was seen gathering in Fort Knox, Kentucky, on Friday as his body was brought to Godman Airfield for a dignified transfer. Army Staff Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington, 26, was from Glendale.
He was the seventh U.S. service member to die in the conflict, succumbing to his injuries a week after being wounded during a March 1 attack on the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, according to the Pentagon.
Thank you Staff Sgt. Pennington for your ultimate sacrifice. Prayers for your family, friends, and brother and sisters in the Army.

🦔 Sam Altman: "A kid born today will never be smarter than AI, ever… We will think how bad those people of the 2000's had it."
My Take
This is a guy selling AI telling you AI will be smarter than every human who will ever be born. Take the source into account.
There's a difference between knowledge and intelligence. AI can retrieve and pattern-match faster than any human. It can pass exams and write code. But intelligence isn't just processing speed and information access. It's judgment, creativity, understanding context, knowing when the answer isn't in the training data. A calculator is better at math than you are. That doesn't make it smarter. Wikipedia knows more facts than any person alive. Nobody calls it intelligent.
Altman needs this narrative. OpenAI is burning $9 billion a year, doesn't expect profitability until 2029, and just watched Nvidia back away from a $100 billion deal because even the company selling the shovels has concerns about the business model. The pitch has to be that AI is inevitable, transformative, worth any cost. If you question that, you just don't understand what's coming. It's the same energy as every tech bubble before it. The product might be real. The hype around it is doing a lot of heavy lifting for the valuation.
