Rocket Tiger Set to Blast Off
Rocket Tiger, the impressive son of promising Victorian Sire Cluster (Fastnet Rock) heads to Saturday's Silver Slipper with a real chance of taking the race and moving on to the Golden Slipper.
Raced by The Codfather Noel Penfold, the man who names most of his horses after the fish that made his fortune and has it emblazoned on his colours, Rocket Tiger has blasted on the the 2 yo scene with 2 wins, including a most impressive last start win at Randwick.

It would be the fairytale story of the season if Wagga two-year-old Rocket Tiger and trainer Scott Spackman win their way into the Golden Slipper at Rosehill on Saturday. ????Steve Hart

Rocket Tiger has moved from 18 to 1 to 12 to 1 in betting after the scratching of Fav Four Moves Ahead.
Rocket Tiger was bred by the owner, he is out of the Keltrice mare Takook who has already produced a couple of winners for the Codfather, Takookacod and Takissacod plus there is a full sister to Rocket Tiger who is now a yearling and a very nice colt by award winning sire O'lonhro.
Cluster himself is on fire ate the moment, from limited books of mares he has been producing quality racehorses all over the country.

AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate
A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.
Worthship: Do Not Conform to the Age
Worthship is the older English word for worship, and it means to ascribe worth. Bishop Robert Barron preached Romans 12 on 30 August. This essay follows the text into the prison letters, and puts two questions to a graph: do the four readings of that Sunday agree, and was Paul free or in chains when he wrote about despair?
The Truth in All Its Ugliness Must Survive
A majority vote does not determine the truth. Consensus is a mood, gossip is a sport, and a model will write the pretty version for free. Why the ugly number has to survive, why a record beats a dashboard, and what KXCO was built to keep standing when the room changes its mind.
Don't Be the Best, Be the Only: Winning in an AI World
AI is repricing competence downward. What it cannot reproduce is a life. The case for remaining non-fungible, why friction still produces the best ideas, and what it means to build AI systems that keep the human intellect in them.
