Power without accountability: The Palantir manifesto The problems with our tech philosopher kings

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

Columbus loses ‘a giant’ with the passing of Laughing Ogre cofounder Gib Bickel – Matter News Comic book writer Paul Jenkins praised the attitude Bickel brought to the shop, cognizant that the Ogre wasn’t just a comic store but ‘the epicenter of an entire community.’

One of the true good guys in comics.

Safe travels, Gib.

Gaza genocide, the broligarchy, corruption, ICE, forever wars..

The DNC's leaders and donors will not change or adapt, folks. They're not made for this moment. They are too ideologically committed to restoring the old ways.

They must be culled and replaced with better leaders.

Disney Layoffs Hit Marvel Studios Hard The Academy Award-winning artists behind some of Marvel's biggest hits are among the casualties from company wide staff reductions.

Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers.

Absolutely heartbreaking 😔
Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

The Strait of Hormuz blockade is causing a slow-moving food crisis A crisis in the making.

Around a quarter of US farmers did not lock in fertilizer prices last fall, and many are now scrambling to cover costs stemming from a war they didn’t anticipate.

It's the classic Mel Gibson and Jesus meme where Mel is on set in normal clothes casually chatting to a very bloody Jesus (for those of you who don't know it).

Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard (1950) is the portrait of a forgotten silent star, living in exile in her ridiculous mansion, screening her old films, dreaming of a comeback.
But it’s also a love story, and the love keeps it from becoming simply a waxwork or a freak show.

Mark Ruffalo, Glenn Close, Ben Stiller, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, Kristen Stewart, JJ Abrams, Katie Phang, John Leguizamo, and over a thousand actors, writers, directors, journalists, producers, composers, and Hollywood executives have signed a letter against the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger:

#WonderWoman

The question the entire world is asking. 😳👇

I know it’s crazy, but as an alternative, White House staffers could simply choose not to commit any crimes.

So, let me see if I have this right… we’ve threatened #genocide on social media, ordered the military to commit #warcrimes (which they refused), tried to reinstate the draft without Congress, and threatened the Pope, all in one week?

Those #Epsteinfiles must be even more damning than we think.

(I actually like a lot of the non powered Diana stuff, tho it’s also highly problematic — but then, that’s what makes the mess of a character that is the Earth-1 Wonder Woman my favorite.

— interpret that character through their lens of feminism and what it is, and what it should mean for women, regardless of the truth of the matter.

Denny *DID* write Diana saying she didn’t really like women lol.
I always argue that wonder woman is an inherently political character; it’s baked into her DNA. And male writers, no matter where they sit on the political spectrum —

Chicago Turns All Public School IDs Into Library Cards To Boost Student Access Chicago Public Library and CPS announced the expansion of The 81 Club, building on a pilot launched in 2022 to give students access to the library system's vast collection and databases.

This is such a good idea. We should do this in NYC.

"All Chicago Public Schools students now have access to nearly everything the city’s libraries have to offer — including physical items like books as well as extensive digital resources."

Congress is completely useless at this point.

If the world knows that the President of the United States is about to commit war crimes by bombing the infrastructure of another country, isn’t it imperative that he be prevented from doing so rather than simply watch it happen

From Wonder Woman to Wonder Boy How devotion, collapse, and a return to self led Brian J. Patterson to create Wonder Boy, a Queer superhero still becoming.

@philjimeneznyc.bsky.social, Thanks 4 creating 1 of the most profoundly touching & inspiring #WonderWoman stories I’ve ever read. It moved my life in a direction I never expected. Hope this @wonderboytvshow.bsky.social article explains. #LeadWithLove

Genuinely what the fuck are we doing.

So...um... I can't be the only person thinking

"He's threatening genocide"

WTF???

Remove him before he kills more people!!!

This man is still serving in Congress with the support of Mike Johnson.
