My twitter will always be a personal blog for my random thoughts, for my own amusement, like 10-20 times a day
If you take it more seriously than that, that's on you

SCOTUS: “In short, as a matter of state law, the 2022 [Missouri] map—not the 2025 map—must be used in the 2026 congressional election.”
There are no noted dissents.
The US Supreme Court has just blocked Missouri from using the 7R-1D congressional map in November for a third time.

RIP em dash
We analyzed how @claudeai’s Opus 5.5 writes compared with Opus 5 across high-reasoning Text Arena outputs.
10 of 12 writing measures moved in a better direction.
Opus 5.5 should be easier to read:
- Long content words fall from 41.7% to 38.6%, the lowest share of any Claude model we analyzed.
- Sentences are 17% shorter on average, dropping from 12.14 to 10.03 words.
The tradeoff is length. Answers get 6% wordier, rising from 453 to 481 words on average, making Opus 5.5 give the longest answers across the Opus family.
It also sounds less recognizably AI on two familiar tells:
- 95% fewer em dashes
- 73% fewer semicolons
But a new giveaway may be emerging. Hedges and caveats such as “perhaps” and “arguably” rise 97%, from 0.39 to 0.77 per 1,000 words, the highest rate of any Claude model we analyzed.
What do you think: does Opus 5.5 read more naturally?

succession is voyeurism slop. you get to see people at parties in lush estates. wow cool. there are like 7 episodes in the series where things actually happen. entire subplots are unceremoniously resolved with zero consequences or reflection. curb is pointless too but it's way funnier.

Original content rewards payout was about the same as the old revenue sharing program. Since they culled 95% of the old program I expected some upward shift in payouts for those remaining but no, it was just a cost cutting effort. Sad!
