“This past week, The Wall Street Journal ran a long profile of Cami Clark, the wife of Dario Amodei, the AI savant and CEO of Anthropic. Clark, you see, keeps a very low profile, so low that even Claude, Anthropic’s AI bot, didn’t know she and Amodei were married—a fact reported by the Journal and confirmed by Claude itself. According to the paper, the reality of the marriage is significant for a number of reasons. Clark was previously in a two-year relationship with Eric Schmidt, for example, whom she introduced to Amodei and who became an early investor in Anthropic and the AI revolution. Additionally, and more provocatively, Clark once tried to start a ‘luxury’ porn company and sought financial backing for the endeavor from Jeffrey Epstein.” (08/17/26)

“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s very public fertility journey is one of the saddest stories of our time. The 36-year-old New York democratic socialist congresswoman has been filming herself in livestreams on Instagram all week, injecting her stomach with hormones and narrating her long-shot efforts to extend her fertility by freezing her eggs. ‘Usually I keep my private life quite private,’ she tells the audience of millions who have watched her videos, ‘but I have made the decision to start freezing my eggs.’ Good on AOC for acknowledging she wants to be a mother, even if it’s not at the top of her list of priorities. But she is living out the feminist left’s antiquated mythology of ‘having it all’ — updated with the false promise from the increasingly popular egg freezing industry that you can easily outwit Mother Nature.” (08/16/26)

“Back in nineteen-ninety-something, escaping reality was still a collective experience. You and your brother and a dozen strangers that were just as bored as you getting together over dangerously over-salted butter popcorn to watch Quentin Tarantino kill just enough people to squeak by with an R rating. It’s all gone now. It’s all over. Everything is digital. Everything has been separated from the fragile fingertips of another actual sentient human being by fifty-five layers of synthetic software. Hollywood is dead and Marvel buried it in an empty computer box. Everything has been reduced to a formula, from the tightly focus-group tested plot of another poorly regurgitated superhero saga of good versus evil to the computer generated, greenscreen special effects of an AI animated cartoon with the faces of A-list celebrities pasted to the action.” (08/16/26)

“More tariff fun with our neighbors to the north coming up this week. Trump’s dumb Canadian tariffs drop this coming Wednesday, imposing a punitive 50% tax on Canadian imports to the United States. This includes steel, aluminum, lumber, cement, and various consumer goods. Emergency talks are underway, and hopefully, before you read this, the situation will have been resolved, but not likely. And the gaslighting of the American people continues under Trump, trying to make it sound like Americans are not paying extra for goods caught in the tariff net, but the bottom line is. The Trump administration attempts to sell tariffs as some kind of bizarre patriotic weapon to punish foreign governments for taking advantage of us financially, but the only ones penalized are American businesses and consumers.” (08/16/26)
