The events are out of order, the bottom three events are: - Feb 27, 2026, 02:13 PM: OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation - Feb 27, 2026, 12:00 AM: Anthropic: Statement on the comments from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth - Feb 27, 2026, 10:14 PM: Dept. of War: Anthropic is a supply chain risk

  I think this is the correct timeline tbh: { date: "2026-02-28T02:56:35.000Z", title: "OpenAI agrees with Dept. of War to deploy models in classified network", source: "https://x.com/sama/status/2027578652477821175", sourceLabel: "Sam Altman on X", }, { date: "2026-02-28T01:24:31.000Z", title: "Anthropic: Statement on the comments from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth", source: "https://www.anthropic.com/news/statement-comments-secretary-war", sourceLabel: "Anthropic", }, { date: "2026-02-27T22:14:43.000Z", title: "Dept. of War: Anthropic is a supply chain risk", source: "https://x.com/SecWar/status/2027507717469049070?s=20", sourceLabel: "Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on X", }, { date: "2026-02-27T21:47:00.000Z", title: "U.S. government blacklists Anthropic", source: "https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/27/trump-anthropic-ai-federal-agencies", sourceLabel: "The Guardian", }, { date: "2026-02-27T14:12:04.000Z", title: "OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation", source: "https://x.com/sama/status/2027386252555919386", sourceLabel: "Sam Altman on X", },

You know you can use github pages

  For real - OP, push some HTML / CSS, or even just Markdown. This is overly complex for what you’re doing.

    Yeah, fair point. I used next.js out of convenience. It took around 5 mins for me to set up this project =) Site is purely static.

    What’s with this policing of frameworks people want to use?

      If this came across as doing so, I apologize. It was intended more as “there’s a much simpler way.” Here’s an analogy: I have a kitchen drawer that has had its face torn off, because the threads for the screws were destroyed. I tried fixing it twice by drilling them out, gluing a hardwood dowel in, and then redrilling for screw threads. After the second failure, I asked my FIL - who is a woodworker - if I should bore them out to a larger size, so I could use a larger dowel with more surface area for glue, etc. He said, “you could, but the failure point is the threads, because you’re driving parallel into end grain. A hardwood plug inserted such that you’re driving into edge grain would hold. Or, you could just move the screws, and optionally plug the old holes for aesthetics.” I was vastly over-complicating something that had an extremely easy solution. This problem exists everywhere in tech; people will recreate existing technology (usually in a worse fashion), or create Byzantine pipelines for a problem trivially solved by a bash script, etc. If you consider the available options for something, and then decide, that’s one thing. If you make what is objectively the wrong choice, that still might be understandable - maybe you want to learn something new, maybe it doesn’t matter at your scale (which tbf is true here, though Vercel’s pricing might cause pain if the site exploded in popularity), etc. But the point is, you should understand trade-offs, and what already exists.
