Good morning. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Today I’m reading more about [Anthropic’s strange new text watermarking process](https://daringfireball.net/2026/08/anthropics_watermark_text_adulteration_in_claude_is_a_perversion_of_writing), watching [this historic Joshua Baéz home run recap](https://youtu.be/o3gVACCqgsw) on repeat, listening to the [incredible new Phoebe Bridgers album](https://open.spotify.com/album/2NSzwyYvQvdOQAoEjrlw9c), and getting stuck into Daniel Mason’s new satire, [Country People](https://www.danielmasonbooks.com/).
