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.

My paleontologist friend said that it would take a PhD and postdoc work.

Wow. Palantir needs to die immediately. Jesus.

i will keep reiterating it but the mRNA vaccine is one of the most important human inventions in history, next to the printing press and the solar panel, and the fact america is abandoning it is frankly anti-human in all ways possible

One day I'll be working in the archives at USC. The next at the Eagle Rock Historical society. Day 3: going to important addresses found in my research and gravesites. Day 4: Joshua Tree? If I can find an appropriate research venue I'd do that instead of the desert.

Welp, I'm going to LA. I've got a full schedule: 3 days of research, one day to decompress before getting back on the plane. Might drive out to Joshua Tree on the decompression day.
