If you attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, you should be legally barred from using the term "journalist" to describe yourself from that point on.

It's also worth being clear about who's doing the arguing. Palantir sells operational software to defence, intelligence, immigration & police agencies. These 22 points aren't philosophy floating in space, they're the public ideology of a company whose revenue depends on the politics it's advocating.

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

I know this is a lot of games but given the AI plus fascism plus megalomania from Karp et al I think the most troubling analog is Horizon: Zero Dawn

The only way we unfuck our country is through a puritanical anti-corruption drive. We need to rip out a vast substrate of corrupt elites and marginalize an even larger contingent of mere incompetents and cowards.

Ppl need to be terrified of the white-collar criminal laws of the United States again.

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.

My most embarrassing experience on twitter was when I ran across Travels by Narrowboat on YouTube and tweeted “just watched travels by narrow boat. That might be the most boring thing I’ve ever watched” and the travels by narrowboat liked the tweet.

Meanwhile he’s now on Amazon prime.

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.

Here’s is the problem with characterizing J6 as viewpoint discrimination: it is not. It was an attempt to overturn a lawful election. We have been here as scholars and we have a choice for history: we cannot rewrite public memory to excuse violent anti-democratic acts.

I feel like clawing back the money the Trump family stole from taxpayers should be a live topic in this summer’s campaigning.
