This is… eerily good.
i gave this repo to fable 5.2 (via my claude agent fig) and told him to have fun making something interesting... def feels interesting to me (stay for the turn) i am continually astounded at the creative choices these advanced models are making

Problem: I want to use my work Codex and Claude setups from my mobile, but don’t want to have to log out and switch between personal and work accounts on my phone left and right. Surely someone has solved this already and I’ve just missed it?

Most relatable she’s ever been
I sat near Kellyanne Conway at Le Dip in DC and overheard her saying how worried she is about Tuesday 👀

It’s weird that JD Vance won’t apologize for his “childless cat lady” comments, but it’s weirder that he continually refers to his own children as belonging solely to his wife: “My wife has three beautiful children.”

Attention Pennsylvanians: ready your answers to “and how long have you worked here?”
The news that Trump is going virtually station JD Vance in Pennsylvania for the rest of the campaign shows that his path to the presidency is becoming PA or nothing. politicususa.com/2024/08/23/…

Pete Buttigieg says his "kind of life went from impossible, to possible; from possible to real; from real to almost ordinary, in less than half a lifetime." "But: That didn't just happen. It was brought about. Through idealism and courage. Through organizing and persuasion..."

Tim Walz shows American men, especially white men, that a better vision of manhood and masculinity exists which is far more loving, successful, decent and appealing than the toxic bravado and cruelty of Trump and MAGA.

Wait so @Tim_Walz took on another JOB (coaching middle school track and basketball) to pay off a kid’s lunch debt…and then became Governor and made school lunches free. Absolute boss.

Barack Obama has the unique ability to both calm us about our state of affairs and convince us we need to act - the balance to inspire without making us feel overwhelmed by the sheer scope of it all. He reminds us who we are as humans and how much we can (and will) do together.

Someday some reporter will figure out how to explain to the American public how post-Covid inflation was a worldwide phenomenon caused by pent-up demand and that the Biden/Harris administration handled it better than every other country.

This man is a generational talent. He manages to take the most banal concepts ("grandparents helping to raise children can be a really nice thing") and 4chans it up in the weirdest way possible.
NEW VANCE AUDIO: In an interview from 2020, JD Vance agrees with a podcast host who says having grandmothers help raise children is “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female.” He also agrees when the host says grandparents helping raise children is a "weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman."
