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.

Ranking the top 101 Nintendo games: No. 32, Mother 3 Thank Nintendo for developing this lovely, thoughtful game, but they aren't the reason you can play it in English.

I didn't write a big thing for Mother 3's anniversary, because I already wrote a big thing for Mother 3 years back. Everything within still applies. One of the best bits of storytelling Nintendo has ever done. A tale of loneliness, selfishness, greed, and the destructiveness of capitalism's cycles.

Amazon's price predicting algorithm, "Nessie", was paused
during the holiday shopping season and Prime Day, when it feared customers or journalists might notice the price increases, then turned back on once attention died
down.

in the early days of the net websites used to have messages like "welcome to my amazing webzone, i hope you enjoy the things i've collected that represent my strange mind." now they're just like "by clicking this box you agree to recieve targeted advertisements in your dreams"

There's a war on for your mind.

Watching Palantir do Sephiroth posting about multiculturalism and I would like to remind everyone that they were doing corporate fake woke shit just like every other company.

Should I stream Tomodachi Life today?

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.

Between the "male loneliness" beat and the "passport bro" beat, there sure is a lot of ink being spent on pieces of shit who can't find friends or dates because they're sentient piles of hot wet trash

The future looks so bleak for the team that soon even I may be able to afford to attend a Golden State Warriors game

True! Fun fact: They did this because someone leaked Robert Bork’s rental history during his confirmation battle.

A headline reads: "Times Exclusive: The Inside Story of 5 Days That Remade the Supreme Court. Secret memos obtained by The New York Times illuminate the origins of the court’s now-routine 'shadow docket' rulings on presidential power."

Confidential memos by Supreme Court justices, obtained by The New York Times, show how they decided to bypass time-tested procedures and create the modern “shadow docket,” a rushed and secretive new way of doing business. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Not many people know this, but the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is responsible for making sure the coal industry is never inconvenienced. Pretty sure it's part of the oath he swore.

"The Challenge," 1955 YouTube video by princetonacademics

The movie was at least the third time Sidney Lumet directed a Reginald Rose script that costarred Jack Warden. But one of them didn’t air: Rose & Rod Serling’s unsold pilot for a topical anthology drama called The Challenge youtu.be/VPuDbM8a67c

One of the big conservative grievances against Biden was that his administration jawboned Facebook and others into removing COVID-skeptical and election misinfo content, but SCOTUS tossed that case because there was no proof the admin caused censorship.

Here, Bondi and Noem gleefully admitted it.

Authoritarians should not be able to get an app censored from hundreds of millions of people's phones by sending an email to two companies.

There is no universe where that will ever be a tenable situation for free expression.

The author of this article refused to sign an NDA, giving up severance and healthcare benefits to tell this story.

If you didn't read it already, read it.

Because he refused, we may be able to stop the Kennedy Center from being sold for parts and turned into a gaudy MAGA fundraising warehouse.

This story is crazy! The Jim Dolan had a Knicks fan obsessively monitored at games just because she was trans.

never been a question in my mind

Having watched the Peter Jackson Hobbit trilogy and now watching the 1977 hobbit animated feature, it's unquestionable that the 70s low budget animated feature was the better adaptation.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

this is fucking nuts:
