Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

I witnessed a severe car crash earlier this week and was one of the first responders until professionals arrived and I'm still processing a lot of it but one thing I feel like I need to share is just how many people immediately jumped in to help. People are good. Don't let the darkness fool you.
