Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Book cover: The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War On Democracy by Gil Duran

Fascists hate to be called out as fascists. Too bad.

Coming soon:

The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War On Democracy.

Yes, they are fascists. Yes, they must be crushed.

Palantir on 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" / 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

Palantir is a menace to society. Its "Manifesto" reads like a very bad Hollywood science fiction dystopia movie.

Can confirm…

Agreed.

All due respect, I am in favor of not electing/appointing anyone from an Ivy for at least a decade. They’ve done so much harm, we need a pause. I personally think it’s a built-in personality defect that’s getting worse. Extreme hubris mixed with a lot of Dunning-Krueger.

Question: “Now that you’ve met with him -Trump-, you’ve spoken with him multiple times, do you still think he’s a fascist?”

Zohran Mamdani: “Yes”

Question: “And do you tell him that?”

Zohran Mamdani: “Yes”

TMZ setting up in DC to follow politicians around is FINALLY the appropriate lowbrow "news" coverage this administration has merited all along.

How badly did Los Angeles fumble?

How about we had a public transportation system that was the envy of the world and we ripped it up so Ford, Firestone and Standard Oil could sell us all cars, tires and gas.

We could have a proper, world-class city, instead we have a city designed for cars.

The thing is they built nearly an entire administration out of people who qualified by being the crassest, most overt grifters imaginable who would toe whatever nonsense line the president chose today

Anne Hathaway bought the rights to a novel about a tradwife influencer who wakes up in 1855 and has to actually live the life she's been selling online. The book is called Yesteryear. It came out 3 days ago. The film rights were already sold to Hathaway, who will produce and star.

Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.

no wonder tmz is in dc
even Hollywood aint this fucked up

Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s.

No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable.

The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.

Oh damn

That the president of the United States is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system!

Videos of the property of these white collar criminals being confiscated and arrest videos of the men who victimized the women in the Epstein files would provide ideal social media content for a future Democratic administration...the flip side to the sadistic ICE sizzle reels produced by this one.

Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina hinojosa speaks to a full house

Meanwhile, in Houston, gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa is talking about Greg Abbott trafficking people into Texas’s private prisons and detention centers so that his donors will profit, and I really appreciate her for it.

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.

JACK LEMMON totally has one of the best gravestones.

Jack died of cancer in 2001 and is buried in Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in California near the grave of his buddy and ‘Odd Couple’ co-star Walter Matthau.

the funny thing about sending jd vance out to do sensitive diplomatic negotiations is he has literally no experience. like, none whatsoever. he doesn't even have related experience in lawmaking or some executive role.

I love that Trump is trying to bully a nation of 91 million people like it’s a Long Island dry wall contractor he’s trying to stiff because his friend in the sanitation industry gave him blackmail material on the guy. I’m sure the art of the deal magic will kick in any minute now.
