They are striking “targets” in the north of Tehran. These are busy residential neighbourhoods with schools, nurseries and restaurants. The residential palace and museums are located there. Wtf is wrong with these people?
If there were anything to the supposed military rationale for the attack, there would have been attacks on military targets. You know, like missile batteries, military bases, etc. But of course there were not, because it's never been about that. Instead, it's right out of the Russian playbook in Ukraine. Probably be about as successful, too.
There's a lesson here, for Iran or anybody else in the world. Throw a big party for Trump, with flashy (tacky preferred) props and such. Like the Saudis did. If I was in government in Taipei, I'd be looking hard for a way to do something like that to boost Trump's ego.

Anyone have thoughts on this Anthropic thing? It’s a topsy-turvy world when the tech bros have more restraint than the federal government.
"Tech bros" are not a monolith. The high profile obnoxious (or worse) ones get a lot of press. But mostly the good ones get ignored.
As for Anthropic specifically, I'm not up on the details, either of Anthropic's history or this specific spat. But if Hegseth is upset, that strongly suggests that Anthropic is on the side of the angels, at least on this one.
