21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.

Palantir manifesto or Mein Kampf?

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Ever NOT wonder why this angle of Trump’s “attempted assassination” was never shown

At the top is a skull in a military helmet with glowing red eyes and two machine guns crossed behind it, and beneath that is a scene of several soldiers wearing full tactical gear and carrying some sort of banner that looks vaguely like an American flag (a large blue field of stars with tiny red and white stripes at the fringe). Behind them a military helicopter in a dark cloudy sky descending on an explosion; the explosion has what appear to be six or seven rocket tracers coming out of it. The helicopter is shining a spotlight down on the ground. The whole thing looks like a terrible video game from the 1990s, and carries the unmistakable whiff of AI generated design"

This isn't being talked about enough:

President Trump is hosting a gala at Mar-a-Lago next week for the top 297 holders of his $TRUMP memecoin.

Not only is this blatantly corrupt, it's a national security threat.

Disappointed that countries arent boycotting it altogether.

Trump attracts a certain type...
