William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social • 6m That time when Peter Thiel named his spy machine after a spy machine from a fantasy novel. Tim Price @timprice.bsky.social • 5m Right, I know, but who's bragging in the post? William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social • 3m Are you aware he just today posted a manifesto on how great Palantir is? Tim Price @timprice.bsky.social • 2m Yes, I saw it William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social Well there's the context. 6:45 PM • Apr 19, 2026 Tim Price @timprice.bsky.social • now Alright!

🤷‍♂️ Readers provided context you could not have made the post without knowing:

why’d you specifically put Palestine in the tracks

The "gender critical" movement will not leave this trans woman alone, even though she has had to relocate to Australia over their bullying.

Marking an LGBT+ person out as a "sexual predator" is how bigots have traditionally endangered LGBT+ people.

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

No amount of 'introspection' and 'penance' will ever be enough for Tucker Carlson to not be in the front of the line for the contraption.

The man is party to every single gain by Fascism in the 21st century.

There are few w/ more direct impact

And fewer w/ less remorse for their part in it.

Exclusive: Senior Shin Bet official caught smuggling goods into Gaza Strip - i24NEWS Investigators suspect coordination between Israeli criminals and foreign operatives at the American base, aiming to profit from smuggling operations

Article confirming what has been well known in the humanitarian aid sector for a while, namely that Israel military personnel, organized crime, and intelligence actors were responsible for a massive and highly lucrative smuggling ring into Gaza.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

They keep sending Vance because they need him to chalk up “experience “ or else no one’s gonna vote for him in 28

Donald Trump is very unpopular and being seen as opposing Donald Trump in clear moral terms is an almost instant path to political and cultural relevance.

The Strange Death of Orbánism Franz Pokorny

Hungarian taxpayers paid American “post-liberal” Rod Dreher $105,000 last year to produce propaganda for Orban’s regime. www.jaccusepaper.co.uk/p/the-strang...

VANITY FAIR SUBSCRIBE MENU = MEDIA How Rod Dreher's Blog Got a Little "Too Weird" for The American Conservative The right-wing commentator's columns, which were unedited and bankrolled by a single donor, will be shuttered Friday after a 12-year run. Sources say it was ultimately a diatribe on circumcision that was a bridge too far. BY CALEB ECARMA MARCH 10, 2023

But one particular reader, upon reading the last of said posts, determined the blog had simply gotten too weird, according to two sources familiar with the publication. That disgruntled reader was Howard Ahmanson Ji., the heir to a California banking fortune and the sole benefactor of Dreher's six-figure salary at TAC, which is published bv American Ideas Institute, a nonprofit. This unique funding arrangement—a single donor choosing to cover one writer's entire salary—was paired with an even more unusual editorial arrangement: Dreher was allowed to publish directly on TAC's site without any revisions or legal oversight, according to the two sources.

One can’t help but admire Rod’s entrepreneurial pluck. After his long time right wing sugar daddy in the US dropped him in 2023, he quickly found a Hungarian sugar daddy to pick up the slack. Gotta love that free market in ideas!

The Tech Oligarch's Republic A look at the Palantir manifesto, a logical conclusion of the War on Terror

The Palantir manifesto has the heritage of the War on Terror written throughout it. Which makes an awful lot of sense considering who staked Palantir at the start.

There are no words left for this. This is a Nazi death camp. This is the holocaust of our lifetime, still going on. There are 10,000 Palestinians held prisoner in camps like these. 500 children.

Supporting Israel means supporting this. The state and people of Israel nearly completely support this.

Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la Some have said that claims that Israel uses dogs to sexually abuse prisoners are antisemitic blood libels. Unfortunately, there is a good deal of evidence. The organizations that confirmed this include B'Tselem, Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, Council on American-Islamic Relations. Here is the testimony of survivors: 1) "Nihad" (50-year-old father, Ofer Prison): In an interview with Anadolu Agency, Nihad testified that during a pre-dawn raid on January 14, 2024, Israeli soldiers ordered a police dog to sexually assault him. He described it as "the most painful moments of my life" and noted that the assault left him with deep physical wounds and long-term trauma. 2) "A.A." (35-year-old father, Sde Teiman): Arrested from Al-Shifa Hospital in March 2024, A.A. told the PCHR that soldiers took him to a corridor away from cameras, stripped him naked, and unleashed dogs that urinated on him before one dog raped him anally for approximately three minutes. He emphasized

approximately three minutes. He emphasized that the dog appeared "trained" and "knew exactly what it was doing". 3) "Halim Salem" (Pseudonym, West Bank Detainee): Testified to Middle East Eye that while he was forced to kneel with his head in a toilet, guards brought in a dog that "mounted and raped" him. He recalled that when he screamed, the guards beat him for "disturbing the dog". 4) "Wajdi" (43-year-old, Gaza Detainee): Recounted to the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor that during interrogation, he was tied naked to a metal bed and raped by both a soldier and a dog while other soldiers filmed and mocked him. 5) Mohammed Arab (Al Araby TV Correspondent): While detained at Sde Teiman, he told his lawyer he witnessed soldiers forcing dogs to rape prisoners. He stated, "They teach their dogs to have sex with prisoners. Can you imagine?". 6) 18-year-old Gazan Detainee (Sde Teiman): Testified to PCHR that while he and other captives were being raped with bottles by

captives were being raped with bottles by soldiers, there was "also a dog behind us, as if the dog was raping us," serving as a form of extreme psychological and physical humiliation. 7) 48-year-old Detainee (Al-Shifa/Military Outpost): Reported witnessing a dog maul another man's genitals until the victim bled to death in his arms. 8) The Committee to Protect Journalists and Middle East Monitor have collected dozens of testimonies from journalists who reported being subjected to "dog attacks" and sexualized torture during their detention. I talked to two guards in Sde Teiman, on more than one occasion. One had seen this happen and said it was too awful to talk about. The other said that he had heard about it from others and believed it was true. This happened. This is happening still. The evidence is too overwhelming.

So content warning on this for extreme sexual violence.

This is something that has been reported for over a year now. Not only have prisoners including at least one doctor been raped to death, it has become a pattern to use attack dogs to rape prisoners. The first to report this was a survivor.

Sweet! @jessicawluther.com, I'm very much looking forward to reading this. It's all been such a stupid red herring, and SO many cowards have waffled on the topic, I'm glad to see a reporter w/ some IRL demonstrated courage assigned to cover it. Texas doesn't have many anymore. Or certainly, enough.

Here's what a senior homeland official told me about their development of ICE smart glasses: "It might be portrayed as seeking to identify illegal aliens...but the reality is that a push in this direction affects all Americans, particularly protesters."

(1993)* Runtime 101 minutes apologies to Gregg Turkington

Was thinking about this the other day while watching Groundhog Day (1992). Honestly a delightful film to see for the first time

Greg Lukianoff & @glukianoff - 4h How do vou stay nonpartisan in a culture that demands you to take sides? You pick a principle and refuse to bend it. At @TheFIREorg that means defending speech regardless of who says it. Not when it's easy. Not when it's popular. Always. (Image is a cartoon bus crashing into a wall that is cracking and there’s dust clouds everywhere. looks fucking fatal as all hell)

idk man if i was trying to make my org look good i don’t think the image i would use is a bus hurtling into a concrete wall. not sure that conveys the message you’re intending there bud

Or Joe Biden for psychotic genocide support and Kamala Harris who raised a billion dollars and lit it on fire when she said she wouldn’t do anything different
