He named his investment company Valar and I was so mad when I found out yesterday.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Every. Person. Must. Be. Punished.

let's make a cultural value judgment: palantir are a bunch of execrable fascist shitheads and their ideas go against the basis of every civilized country on earth, from which they should be extirpated like the intellectual cancer they are

He had a phrase he used often, "Liberalism is a philosophy of consolation for Western Civilization as it commits suicide." Events of the morning brought it to mind.

All these losers think they're doing something because they never understood Shelley. Toddler mentality.

Full Disclosure: I ask because I _was_ longer than I should have been. I didn't stop reading and paying until Jerry, may he rest in peace as he's burning in hell, completely lost his mind about Obama.

Coffee Thought™: I'm curious how many of the Dork Ass Losers at Palintir, Open AI, etc., were paid members at Chaos Manor?

Nobody who defends, or approves of this government can be described as a decent human being.

If that’s you, and you disagree, stop kidding yourself. You’re scum.

Tons of good answers in the replies, but after careful consideration I think it's "Crazy" by Seal.

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

All y'all know what I'm going to say, but I'm going to say it anyway: Use of facial recognition should be punished the same as uranium smuggling. 100% serious.

Having a discussion about the level of specificity necessary on the construction site, I had to reference this all-timer.

My friend says, "We fuckin' ate it, Ma!"

Decades later, we still say it.

Anyway this recipe sounds great and I'm going to have to try it someday.

40 years ago, my friend and I, both teenagers, were up late one Saturday night. We got hungry and raided the kitchen. We found a loaf of French bread and proceeded to butter and devour it.

Sunday afternoon his mother was in the kitchen looking for it. "Where is that nice French bread I bought?"

This still from Yasujirō Ozu’s 1949 cinematic masterpiece, Late Spring (Banshun), captures a profound moment of transition as Noriko (Setsuko Hara) prepares for her wedding ceremony. She is dressed in a formal wedding furisode, featuring a classic white-on-white pattern that conveys purity and high social standing, topped with a traditional tsunokakushi (wedding hood). Beside her, her father, Shukichi (Chishū Ryū), sits in a formal black kimono, his quiet, dignified posture reflecting the bittersweet gravity of the scene.

If you enjoy the music of 50 years ago, Burt Sugarman has uploaded hundreds of episodes of The Midnight Special. It's been really great watching them.

I've been watching The Midnight Special and I have absolutely fallen in love with her. She's such a tremendous performer. The look on her face at the end of the chorus is why I posted it. Been thinking about since I saw it last week.
