Every time this tailor posts a photo of their workspace, it looks like their dog is a tailor and he's showing off the garments he made.

Hi there, Newsfolk! The President is becoming increasingly disinhibited and it just feels like there is no better time to throw in a follow-up question or two about the Butler rally.

They conveniently overlook Breitbart and O'Keefe using paid infiltrators to do their dirty work, to ACT as provocateurs. SPLC doesn't do that. It pays observers not instigators.

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

Men are really not okay because why are you getting excited that you're winning $100 based on someone dying?
By definition, that makes you sadistic.

It was a perfect platform for a personal digital library. I’ve yet to find a good replacement.

Now that the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to refund companies what they paid in tariffs, yet there are still tariffs in place, what's the plan? Consumers continue to fork money over to corporations who will later get another refund?

Opening text of a thread by Palantir from X
Because we get asked a lot.
The Technological Republic, in brief.
1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.
2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.
3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.
4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.

Been watching a lot of shows on free streamers, Pluto,Tubi, Roku Channel, instead of paying you watch ads, terrible insipid ads, and most are AI. What I find disgustingly remarkable is how often they used Black characters to shill their shitty wares and scam apps. It feels so predatory.

I was raised in a family of big tech employees and have been analyzing, working in, and reporting on tech since I was a teenager - and yes I do think the gleeful “we’re gonna take all your jobs, worms” rhetoric really did accelerate after 2019

The currently escalating tech backlash must be put in the context of:
“people have been listening to the most insufferable techbros in the world gleefully threaten everyone else with mass unemployment for over 6 years, and they’re sick of their shit”

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief.
The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Point of purchase display for Open Nature “Entertaining Crackers” at the grocery store. The display is about 1/2 full. Apparently, in a world full of crackers, many still need an entertaining cracker in their life.
Pairs well with an “interesting white”
I too am an entertaining cracker.
