Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
Free speech absolutism.
"Boots on the Ground" is a dystopian way of describing people shooting each other.
Wait is it possible to offensively interfere with your own shot? Because if so he did. Tapped it once, was in the cylinder, then flushed it afterward.

It is important to note that the American constitution gives disproportionate power to rural areas. Rural populism follows naturally.
New York Times: The measure faces opposition from Silicon Valley investors and others, including Gov. Gavin Newsom. At The New York Times DealBook conference this month, Mr. Newsom said a wealth tax was not pragmatic. The Democrat, who has been close with people like Mr. Page, is raising money for a committee to oppose the measure. The committee received a $100,000 donation from the venture capitalist Ron Conway in November, according to state campaign finance records.
By the way, Gavin Newsom is apparently raising money to fight AGAINST the billionaire tax. So thoughtful of him to come to their aid at this particular time in history,
Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪
Studies have also not ruled out that leprechauns cause autism either, just saying...
Saw a guy in San Francisco dressed as a bag of weed. He had actual weed in the bag. Like 2 pounds of it. I assume for handing out.
five days and a few hours to go and at this point I'm just gonna be shameless: if you can help signal-boost this thing, I'd be grateful. I've done very well through my own channels, but haven't had much luck breaking out beyond them.

Moral cowards, lacking core beliefs, can be pushed in any direction.
An insight to keep in mind as the billionaire class calculates the optimal path through fascism.

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in.
Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol.
It's like his work never happened.
yup
TLDR: Peter Thiel weaponizes Nazi philosophy and biblical scripture to reframe democratic opposition as cosmic evil—while building the surveillance state he claims to fear.
X’s head of product celebrating record downloads of his app on a day where a man’s murder was autoplayed on loop for all to see.
The same people who complained that “wokeness” got people fired and ostracized over tweets … are currently demanding that people be fired and ostracized over tweets.
If you think this was an accident I have a bridge for sale.
Like if you don't think centrists use their own impenetrable jargon that nobody likes then I have a commonsense bipartisan opportunity economy where existential threats to fair trade are a national security threat to sell you
Is the universe where we are not allowed to use high-falutin language in public lest the fascists fash us distinguishable from the universe where the fascists won?
Elections are decided by near zero information voters and people think they’re decided by sparsely used word choices and I swear to god this place has gone completely insane.
This idea that somehow rural areas underwrite metros is not only wrong, it’s entirely inverted — and yet it perversely animates basically every element of our current political life.
Have you had Tuscan bread?
