Palantir posts mini-manifesto denouncing inclusivity and ‘regressive’ cultures | TechCrunch Palantir's ideological bent has come under more scrutiny as it's worked with ICE and positioned itself as a defender of "the West."

Palentir lays the groundwork to justify genocide. Some animals are more equal than others. This is literally Orwell:

1/ I met a unit in a café in Zaporizjzja on Thursday afternoon. When I arrived, they were just following how a KAB bomb was travelling through the sky over the city on one of the apps available for mil. units. It landed in the eastern parts of the town. We could hear the distant explosion 5 km away

I like to to call it Woke Palantir

Have any elite tried to pull that off earlier and if so how did it end?

people really don't like it when the rich and powerful tell them that their expectations for the future should be permanently and drastically lowered, is another way of putting this

This is the most incredible shit I’ve ever seen.

If you thought OH-58 drivers firing rifles and dropping grenades out of their cockpits was cool, wait until you get a load of Ukrainian pilots flying 1970s prop planes and blasting drones out of the sky.

I fucking love these crazy bastards.

"A [Russian] missile hit and killed my son in that room," - Ihor, dad of 11-year-old Maksym, victim of a Russian strike.

Russia killed Maksym and three more people in Kyiv today, and injured 62 more.

Deepest condolences.

⚡️ Russia slams Ukrainian cities in mass missile attack overnight — at least 13 dead, 86 injured.

Russian missiles destroyed homes, burned buildings, and killed civilians in Ukraine's major cities in a mass overnight strike.

Shadow fleet tankers are increasingly avoiding Sweden and authorities and opting for a relatively safer Germany route, if todays trend is anything to go by.

I’m keeping this little gem of Russian mentality

you cannot long run a stable society when the immoral ultra-elite are constantly rubbing everyone else’s noses in their total impunity all the goddamn time

Regime Change in Iran, Underpants Gnomes, and the Phase II Problem U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu started the Iran war off with a bang — not just the bang of bombs and rockets,

Washington and Jerusalem entered the war with sweeping ambitions and rapid timelines. The plan hinged on unrest inside Iran doing something far more consequential than it has in the past.

I reappropriated this in honor of today

It's been clear since Jan 2025 that the Trump administration has been aligning the US with Russia. In Hungary, for the first time, we've seen the US and Russia interfering in an election on the same side - the side of Russia's ally. 🧵

After reports of China preparing to send Iran air defence missiles, Trump warned China would have "big problems" if they did.

Reminder: when Russia sent Iran drone components and target intel on US forces, Trump lifted oil sanctions on Russia.

I wonder what's different 🤔

Fascist Russia simply shut down its air operations to give the illusion of a ceasefire - no drone on missile strikes on residential buildings, schools, hospitals, churches or critical civilian infrastructure, but attempts to gain positional advantages along the front.

It’s still so strange to me that both russia and the USA are openly campaigning for Orbán 🤯

Vance approached negotiations as if the White House’s fantasy version of the war were real. But it’s not, the US is not in position to demand concessions, and talks fell apart.

America’s position gets weaker with time, as the costs of economic disruption adds up

wait how were these 'marathon peace talks?' it's been a day!

What we're seeing these days is the dying gasp. It might take twenty years for most people to figure it out. China sees their role as "managing a declining empire."

I know it's fun to mock JD for this, but the reality was that the "ceasefire" (aka the climbdown from Trump's threat to destroy Iranian civilization) was based on a phony deal all along, and there was never going to be any way of reconciling the two sides' stated positions, which were 180 opposite.

At least, Viktor Orbán did not die after JD Vance's visit - like Pope Francis last year.

Classic Musk. Now we know where the overconfident idiot trait comes from.

Hungary’s prime minister is more important to Donald Trump than all of his voters put together, than all Americans, than America itself, and it’s not even close. I wrote an essay yesterday to explain why: snyder.substack.com/p/the-hungar...

No country can do it all. Hopefully we can get EU up to speed cause there are similar problems everywhere.

What a quote: “at the beginning of the war, everybody was trained in tactical medicine. Now we realise we should have been trained in drones, because when you know drones, you need so much less tactical medicine.”

Fantastic episode (in English!)
