@papapishu: Palantir used to have affinity groups and DEI as late as 2022, and I had the logos saved on my phone because they pissed me off so much and of course they buried those pages. But I never forgot. @KillGoldfish: Something that opened my eyes was learning that all those corporate “affinity groups” are a relic of when corporations were allowed to have “yellow unions” (fake unions the corporation ran). They’re a form of pro-active union-busting. @legalminimum: Having been the exec sponsor of many affinity groups in my time: no. @evangelleion: i dont think an executive's opinion is particularly relevant here @legalminimum: If you say so.

The Mob isn't just a curiosity or a metaphor to him - it's an occupying force that suffused his entire early life

One reason is because what separates him from all other American filmmakers (Italian or otherwise) who deal with the Cosa Nostra is that - and I believe he or someone he grew up with makes this explicit in the recent doc - he relates to them like someone who grew up in an authoritarian state

the Hilton in Long Island city that used to have a churrascuria in the basement now has conference rooms instead. A real “they paved paradise, put up a parking lot” moment

The backlash has arrived

"American Jews have dual loyalty to Israel" factoid actually just statistical error. Average American Jews have complicated or diminishing relationship with Israel. Chuck Schumer, who lives in the Senate, is an outlier and should not have been counted

WATCH: At Pentagon Christian service, Hegseth prays for violence 'against those who deserve no mercy' Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has hosted a monthly Christian prayer and worship service at the Pentagon, the first since the Iran war began.

I missed this story at the time

At a monthly Pentagon Christian service on March 25, Hegseth prayed for God to give his little warfighters “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy”

I do now

it used to play every hour on the hour here and I miss it so much

more data supporting @seriouspro.bsky.social’s theory that he smells like hard boiled eggs. It killed the pope and now it has tanked Orban

you're laughing? orban is eating shit immediately after our loser vice president went there to try to help him in the biggest display of contagious loserdom in history, and you're laughing? yeah, me too

Sincere thanks to JD Vance for holding that rally in Budapest that turned the tide.

I love walking around near 9/11 and overhearing things like “oh shit that’s the new twin towers? That’s where they fell?? damn!!!”
