Inshallah they don’t find him

Today, a lot of people will be talking about the manifesto that Palantir released. In addition to pouring over what those words mean, I invite you to ground the conversation in what Palantir has already done.

Its work with Israel and ICE show us exactly what it stands for.

Bloody hell that is a unvarnished white supremacist techno fascist imperialist manifesto. It gross & deeply concerning that Palantir is so deeply embedded in not just the US gov't but also spreading to other countries through contracts such as with the NHS in the UK.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive-because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Picture of a burning hillside where a warehouse used to be A California distribution warehouse for the consumer products of giant Kimberly-Clark burned to the ground on Tuesday and an employee has been taken into custody under suspicion of arson. The sixth alarm fire required 175 firefighters to contain. A video circulating online, reportedly taken by the agreed worker shows them setting fire to several pallets of toilet paper while calmly repeating "all you had to do was pay us enough to live."

Just might be.

I re-edited this video to show all the hesitations and ‘uhhhhh moments’ between the pen on paper moments. I find this stuff more interesting than the actual drawing bits now.

Called my rep and said "I am concerned about the President's posts about committing genocide and would like my reps to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office" and the guy was like "okay I'll pass that along, is there anything else" and I was like no that's pretty much it

i always feel like a hack for never painting or fully coloring anything. but it's just never really been fun to me

Listening in to the live Artemis II feed. I love the way they talk about everything (jargon, acronyms, plaing English) . Like a bit ago, an astronaut was talking emotionally about how beautiful the views were of the approaching moon, and Houston's CapCom person responded plainly “Copy. Moon joy.”
