What's left for a man who has done nothing but plaster his name on things for a lifetime, when he realises that name can be taken off it all?
Something so historically significant, it can never be forgotten.

He's *going* to drop nukes on Iran, just to be remembered forever as the man who did it.

We know Trump is drowning in serious medical issues. He wants to be immortalised, and most of that is with monuments.
He's put his name on everything, but that can be taken down and he knows it deep down - so he wanted to build giant things that are harder to get rid of.
Those have been blocked.

"Kill chain."
Because it's blockchain (but not really) for execution?

I sure do feel safe knowing the people responsible for the "get everything wrong and promise to fix it later" business model will be deciding literally who lives and dies.

Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant

Equally likely outcome is that this is all bullshit so him and his cronies can make millions in market manipulation.

And just saying those possibilities are “equally likely” makes my head hurt.

Alex Karp is using Palantir’s website to promote his white supremacist manifesto.

This is the company selling surveillance tools to ICE. The moment a sane person is in power in this country, Palantir & the entire fascist-techbro collaborationist sphere must be dismantled.

It's not a "madman strategy" - he's just a madman.
Literally a demented psychopath.
When he drops nukes, because he's cornered and needs to feel strong again, will they still try to sanewash this as some sort of tactical chess move?

Its not a hot take but man the way the word "content" is used these days. A vile bit of late stage capitalist propaganda, lumping all forms of human creativity and expression into a single wastebin teaching the public to treat all art as disposable.

Firing and jailing RFK is the moderate position

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr

1. barely works
2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate)
3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

The fact that "being taxed on a wealth that would take most people dozens of generations to gather" is "the scariest thing she's ever seen" means the world isn't scaring millionaires and billionaires nearly enough yet.

Sonic Pocket Adventure: A byte-sized blue blur Think of portable Sonic and the classic Game Gear adventures, all hang-gliding in the rain and an entire zone’s worth of bridge, will probably sping to mind. Or perhaps the later Game Boy Adv…

Portable perfection! What a lovely little game this is:

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

AI learns language from skewed sources. That could change how we humans speak – and think | Bruce Schneier Large language models aren’t trained on real-life conversations. As we encounter their language, it could affect our own

Oh:

A 2022 study found that children in households that used voice commands with tools like Siri and Alexa became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting obedience, especially from anyone whose voice resembled the default-female electronic voices.

They revel in the cruelty. It's not about criminals or process, it's gleefully expelling anyone insufficiently White.

Oh my fucking god I saw something about this yesterday and thought it must have been a messaging error.

Nope. They’re literally going with “we must increase teen pregnancy rates!” as a fucking talking point.

I don’t even know where to start with how abhorrent that is.

Adults are financially literate enough to look at their income and expenses and determine that they aren't in a place to raise a child... but uneducated teens are impulsive, and can ruin their lives without realising it! Creating a cycle of poor, uneducated underclasslings for the Capitalist machine

"I made every performance about shitting on trans people and now people who hate trans people think I'm with them."

Sorry Dave, much like JK Rowling, this is the sum total of your legacy now.

Oh no, does Dave Chappelle feel like he was violated and used as a political football by the anti-trans movement just because of his bigoted views?

Let me find a tiny violin in this box labeled, "shut the fuck up and go away forever, Dave Chapelle."

Tobacco experts disagree with public about whether smoking is harmful.

It's fascinating just how interconnected and internationally coordinated the global rise of isolationist, nationalist, authoritarian politics has been.

"[Our Country] First!! - Hold on, you'll be able to afford to live later; this rich, bigoted fascist's power is at risk. We must protect them!"

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

It's always been Pigeon Chess.

The USA elected a demented white supremacist authoritarian, and has politics driven by a giant powerful doomsday death-cult... what's YOUR excuse, UK? You're better than this! You know this is wrong and stupid.

LRG's new leadership, with Josh gone, seems to be REALLY serious about turning things around and being better.
No more lies and underhandedness; no more "ask forgiveness, not permission" - just running the biggest boutique publisher in good faith.

I too have written about white conservatives in southern state legislatures rushing through bullshit changes to the law just to thwart the advancement of literally one black man, but I'm a historian who writes about the Jim Crow era South and not a reporter discussing current fucking events there.
