And these CEOs keep claiming AI will solve climate change.

But first! Destroy the planet.

Guess that would solve the problem. 🫠

Flu vaccine no longer mandated for US troops, Hegseth says Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the U.S. military will no longer mandate the flu vaccine for American troops. He cited “medical autonomy” and religious freedom.

The Congressional Research Service noted that the military instituted its first vaccination program in 1777 when Gen. George Washington directed the inoculation of the Continental Army to protect personnel from smallpox that was sickening and killing his people.

Matt Damon playing a 14th century French knight that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mullet. Beard. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and cigarette smoke.

Matt Damon while playing Odysseus who also looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Long, skinny beard. Smells like horseshit, pine tar, and perhaps Mediterranean herbs.

Matt Damon playing a 19th century cowboy that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mustache. Shaggy hair. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and definitely chewing tobacco.

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

This is the way.

“This is the publicly endorsed worldview of a company that is rapidly becoming load-bearing infrastructure for the federal government’s surveillance and enforcement apparatus, and it contains arguments that would be at home in a white nationalist pamphlet.”

If not losing, why losing shaped?

Biden had a soft voice though.

"We'll, we'll see about that. We'll see about that now. We'll see about that."

Definitely Not Mad™ 😂😂

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

$1,700 is roughly the FIT burden of a household of three filing joint making 65k, to put that into tax perspective.

The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.

Get excited.

This is exactly right. It’s not a dilemma though. It’s a line in the sand that will at once once collapse what remains of the rule of law and regulatory infrastructure designed to protect the public.

The most important 2026 elections no one is talking about The 2026 midterms will determine who will oversee the 2028 presidential election in 29 states.

It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

Great journalism here: "The BBC... found a consistent pattern of spikes just hours, or sometimes minutes, before a social media post or media interview was made public.

Some analysts say it bears the hallmarks of illegal insider trading..."

“Grimes is on LinkedIn to promote her Nvidia gigs: she’s been contracted as a talking head for Nvidia’s own image empire, which desperately needs hot air to inflate its bubble.”

These are going to come for the left too. They financially motivated — Macedonian teenager type stuff for the AI era. Scammers profiting off of easily enraged people. MAGA may be more susceptible to ragebait but worth understanding what’s going to happen in 2026 and 2028.

Between Palantir and Sauron, I am not amused with these tech overlords ruining Tolkien for me.

And also this Sauron CEO, Maxime “Max” Bouvat-Merlin …

The writers of the dystopian hellscape we’re living in have really outdone themselves again.

torn between "we need to soften IP law to stop the calcification of the culture" and "we need to give the Tolkien estate the right to extrajudicially execute these clowns at will"

If only there were some warning sign, like, I don't know, naming the company after fictional magic stones that were a metaphor for how technology can be manipulated by the forces of evil to mislead and divide those trying to stop them.

A truly stunning document that, like Project 2025, should be taken seriously and responded to by removing this company’s gov’t contracts and w/ regulation.

But are we surprised that such dangerous proclamations might come out of a company run by this megalomaniac?

Palantir Posts Very Long X Post Denouncing ‘Vacant and Hollow Pluralism’ Best case scenario: maybe Palantir is super psyched about abundant and solid pluralism.

Palantir should not be allowed to have any government contracts at any level because it is fundamentally opposed to the basic concepts of liberal democracy.

When the topic turns to "what comes next" and "what should we do," we should defer to historians in the same way we defer to doctors on vaccines, lawyers on criminal defense and military generals on strategy and tactics.

They're going to tell us stuff like this and it's vital to America's future.
