A couple points on this manifesto, apart from the racial superiority subtext others noted.

Palantir is a company built on public contracts, they bill the state billions to surveil and target the state's population. The manifesto exists to justify their demand for even more.

Linda Yaccarino replies to a Zohran Mamdani tweet to say that taxing rich people's penthouses is "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen"

Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."

I don’t recall this framing for Tea Party protests

Thanks to AI, Google has become perhaps the largest source of misinformation in the world.

This one is just completely made up!

Los Angeles always comes correct. #NoKings

This is honestly borderline racist framing of events. Iran isn't "fighting like an insurgency" or even engaging in what you'd classically understand as asymmetric warfare. They're just employing, you know, strategy.

It Sucks to Work in the Video-Game Industry Right Now Even developers who successfully release big hits, like Fortnite and Battlefield, are losing their jobs

I don't think people understand how hard it is to work in the video-game industry right now. If you've been laid off, it can take months if not years to find new work. If you haven't been laid off, you're anxious that you will be laid off.

GIVE PABLO (and team!) EVERY AWARD.

Incumbent German electricity suppliers said in 1993 that renewables could not provide more than 4% of electricity in the long run.

In 2025, renewables provided 55.9% of Germany's electricity — 14 times the predicted ceiling.

confess that I wanted to read Sen. Eric Schmitt's (R- Mo.) book, "The Last Line of Defense: How to Beat the Left in Court, because I appear in it as a villain. Not by name-Schmitt prefers to invoke "the global NGO nexus" or "so-called researchers" or "The Censorship Industrial Complex" when describing the fantasy cabal he claims ran a government censorship operation out of university research centers... including mine. I started paying attention to Schmitt prior to his election to the Senate in 2022, when he and D. John Sauer (now solicitor general of the United States) demanded the names of Stanford undergraduate colleagues while deposing civil servants as they hunted for evidence of this "complex." A man who believes that the "deep state" staffs its secret operations with undergraduate interns is a special kind of thinker. It's because I'm familiar with those depositions that I'm writing this review: Sen. Schmitt lies about their contents in his book, brazenly and repeatedly. That alone would justify a critique. But it's also important for readers to understand "The Last Line of Defense" in the context of the worldview that justifies and rewards those actions.

Consider the deposition of former FBI agent Elvis Chan, who was tasked with communicating with social media platforms leading into the 2020 election. In his book, Schmitt claims the FBI "encouraged platforms to adopt policies requiring them to censor 'hacked' materials- which the platforms did." He writes, "Chan basically admitted that the FBI had tricked and deceived social media platforms into censoring" the Hunter Biden Laptop story "- an act of censorship so egregious that it could very well have swayed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election." The word "basically" is doing a lot of work there; it converts explicit denials into the opposite of their meaning. Twitter's hacked materials policy was developed in 2018, primarily in response to hack-and-leaks of nonconsensual intimate images, and independent of government involvement. What Chan actually says, verbatim, is, "we never told the companies to modify their terms of service or community standards." Chan also clearly states that he was personally unaware that another part of the FBI had Hunter Biden's laptop in its possession, and that Hunter Biden was "not referred to" in his meetings with the companies prior to the laptop story breaking. He doesn't "basically admit" any of what Schmitt claims; he denies it.

Senator Eric Schmitt’s book "How To Beat The Left In Court" isn't ab law. It’s about using courts as stages for political spectacle. He brazenly lies about deposition testimony and omits losses. This is litigation as narrative warfare: the filing is the victory, truth is someone else’s problem.

People on awards shows don't "make it political." The world is political. Our lives are political. Our choices are political. The only decision is whether to acknowledge it.

Eight Oscar wins for Warner Bros. so far with several virtually guaranteed to come, continuing the best critical and financial year for a studio in decades. The only reason it's getting sold is the mountain of debt after 3 failed mergers, a problem it's solving with another debt-fueled merger.
