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.

12.7M acres of solar is is about 82% of the solar required to decarbonize the US in the Net Zero America E+ scenario (there's wind and existing nuclear and stuff in there too, but that's the solar portion).
Or we can have 5% of our gasoline displaced.
One piece of anecdata: I recently bought a 2022 Bolt with 6500 miles on it. Price: $17,700. I took it in for its first service last week. $35 and 20 minutes. It's a fantastic commuter car that costs maybe 1/4 as much to operate as a typical ICE car.
I'm seeing just enough references to based milk son that I'm pretty sure I don't want to know more.
It was so considerate of Wisconsin to just dash my hopes in the first round so that I won't get nervous in future rounds.
I realize it's already been done, but Randall Park for Kim Jong Un, yeah?
Has any one ever found even one of these people he mentions in these speeches? The ones who want to kiss him or the ones who are crying. You think they’d be happy to be interviewed about this stuff.
Things are increasingly more so now than they used to be, due to reasons
Naming the policeman Officer X, Welles addressed him directly. "Wash your hands, Officer X. Wash them well. Scrub and scour, you won't blot out the blood of a blinded war veteran," Welles said. "Go on, suckle your anonymous moment while it lasts. You're going to be uncovered. We will blast out your name! We'll give the world your given name, Officer X. Yes, and your so-called Christian name. It's going to rise out of the filthy deep like the dead thing it is."
When Tom Homan, Trump and other Republicans defend the masking of ICE agents, I can't help but think of Orson Welles announcing on his radio show his intention of identifying the South Carolina police officer who violently attacked and blinded the uniformed Black veteran Isaac Woodard in 1946.
Garfield and Friends taught me a lot growing up. For instance, 'Gorsh' is Samoan for 'Splut.'
No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
I'm just waiting for my grandma's birth certificate.
It is very funny that Elon talks about building a city on Mars or a city on the Moon when we all know him building a city in Indiana would be an unmitigated disaster
When you put it all together, this is what the fiscal flows for immigrants have looked like for the last 30 years. Immigrants have reduced the deficit every year for 3 decades.
I didn't have TikTok on my phone when it was Chinese spyware, I'm not going to have it on my phone when it is US spyware
Didn't even thank us for our attention to this matter.
Hell yes for doing this!
You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test
Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)
Good tech.
Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)
Bad tech.

Beast of Horns absolutely whips! Fantastic live album
For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.
Just to say: You can be happy Greg Bovino is out, and that ICE is starting to leave Minneapolis, AND continue to call for the dissolution of ICE/DHS. Take a little victory lap and then keep on the pressure.
“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945
YouGov is out with a new poll after ICE killed another person in Minnesota today. Abolishing ICE is now +5 among all adults, and **+12 among independents**
