Hey instead of the LA cops getting $3.6 billion dollars a year, and also paying out close to $400 million in settlements, here's an idea ...

Flu is a readiness and lethality issue wtf are we even doing?

This stuff is soft as baby shit. "The warfighter must never be inconvenienced or so something scary like get a shot," is loser shit.

Still thinking about this from yesterday: “We just assumed the ex-MI6 spook would work out a full policy platform and strategy for deployment without consulting anyone”

Hey folks. I've realized I need a bit of a break from streaming. So, going to take today and tomorrow off. We'll be back on Thursday for Seamless CoOp Elden Ring with Bloodydoves.

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.

i think it’s SO SUPER TELLING that a lot of this manifesto, which demands that we allow Silicon Valley to enact fascism and endless genocidal violence at home & abroad out of a “moral debt” to the govt that funded its rise, is expressed in the language of anti-wokeness and cancel culture discourse

Internet in Australia is rapidly becoming unusable without a VPN due to age verification. You need to verify your age to use some weather and calculator apps now. Scam apps and phishing sites are starting to realise they can just ask for your ID straight up and people will give it up. Insane shit.

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures ... have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry.

These points stand out:

BIG NEWS: New rodent just dropped.

AGAINST ALL ODDS, THOSE WHO BELIEVED BLUESKY THAT THE CRASH WAS DUE TO A DDOS

AND THOSE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE BLUESKY AND WERE SURE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AI VIBE CODING

WERE

BOTH

RIGHT

A Newly Discovered Recording Lets You Hear Delta Blues Legend Robert Johnson in Stunning Clarity

We should be learning from other countries...

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Okay folks. Stream is going live for the afternoon. We resume seamless coop Elden Ring with twitch.tv/bloodydoves!

Orbán rode to power on resentment over the economic stagnation that developed under center-left governments. But he leaves office with Hungarians facing falling wages and higher inflation than similar countries are experiencing. Orbán’s sectarianism and intolerance have sparked neither a religious revival nor a fertility bump; Hungary’s population is shrinking and has become more irreligious, even as Orbán has demonized LGBTQ people, “Muslim invaders,” and Jews. Orbánism, in short, did not make Hungarians more rich, Christian, or free—unless you happened to be one of Orbán’s buddies, in which case you may have gotten rich. As most Hungarians felt their economic circumstances worsen, Orbán provided them with relatively powerless targets to hate.

Orban made grand appeals to “Christianity” and “Western Civilization,” but his “illiberal democracy” was just a scam, a way to make him and his buddies rich while subjecting Hungarians to stagnation and robbing them of their freedom. Sound familiar? (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This article is really embarrassing.

It's entirely focused on technology-as-nostalgia and not the fact that every modern device wants you to constantly pay a rental fee in some form or another.

If I'm listening to MP3s on a Diamond Rio there is exactly zero chance it will ask for a credit card.

It’s actually fine & good to say “I would not vote for Newsom” right now bc he’s NOT the nominee! Ppl are saying “I won’t vote for Newsom” to be as loud as possible that he sucks and should not become the nominee, challenging Dems to do better. Newsom is not inevitable and NOT the right person.

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said.

I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

I know Disney is upset that the MANDALORIAN movie is on track to bomb, but releasing an A.I. poster for STAR WARS' 50th anniversary the same week you fired thousands of artists is the reason the concept of Hell was invented.

Read that again. This Louisiana bill forces homeless people to choose between jail and "treatment"—and if they can't pay for the latter, they will be forced to perform unpaid labor.

The historical precedents are clear: convict leasing, Black Codes, debtor's prison.

Stream is going live for the afternoon. twitch.tv/bloodydoves and I will be starting a new Elden Ring Seamless CoOp playthrough today! Come join the shenanigans!
