I've had some friends suggest that there was plausible deniability for people who used to work at Palantir who thought at the time it was just another tech company. I always found that hard to believe as it was always creepy and cultish. But after this... anyone still working there...

Really need to designate Palantir a security risk and rescind all contracts with it

It’s so funny that, in movies, a person showing up in a Cybertruck is universal shorthand for “here comes a real prick”

Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You, The Deer Hunter

But really, the tell here is that he wants a full hospital on site so he doesn’t keep getting caught going to Walter Reed for the monthly infusions he refuses to admit he needs

“Missile-resistant steel,” like “iceberg resistant hull”

“Missile-resistant steel,” like that’s a thing that people in war zones throughout the world just decided not to use

If you won’t say that Jackie Robinson faced racism, then you are saying the racism he faced appeals to you

Telling the Pope “stick to religion” while Hegseth assigns neo-Calvinist homework to the troops

These guys have spent so long telling scientists and economists they’re wrong that telling the Pope he doesn’t understand Catholic doctrine is no big deal

Oh I didn’t know that only Attorneys General can be subpoenaed

What I’m saying is that I’m tired of politicians who think an asserted defense to a crime (“it was consensual”), even if true—I’m not saying it is—is not still disqualifying

We should demand that any man running for office agree on the record that it is improper, no exceptions, for a politician to have a sexual or romantic relationship with a staffer, and that he will immediately resign, no excuses, if he violates that principle

Today in Minor League transactions: The Angels promoted LHP Houston Harding to Triple-A. The White Sox promoted C Boston Smith to High-A. Those moves again: Los Angeles sent Houston to Salt Lake. Chicago moved Boston to Winston-Salem.

They’re literally still running a committee investigating “weaponization of the justice department” under *biden*

Hot Dogs from Heaven > Hot Dog Pop Gun

I’m not going to read this article but my hypothesis is that neither the author nor the subject know that there’s a difference between wealth and happiness or how the difference matters to an understanding of the subject

Iran! I have no interest whatsoever in enduring any pain for any of this. (gift). www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

Sure, sure, you thought you were a doctor, wearing the usual doctor robes, in an outdoor hospital with fighter jets and soldier angels

I don’t even have words for this.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

This is what I meant when I said Becerra was part of the LA Machine consultant dependency. Clearly somebody has fed him the 1990s line that Dems win by being “tough on crime” to the point that it causes him to abandon any moral compass he may ever have had

A new example usage: JD Vance really fucked the couch in Hungary.

no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend

"The dumbest person you know is being told 'you are absolutely right' by an AI right now."

Nobody is in the tank for a thing as Trump U.S. for Nazi architecture and symbolism

His only two negotiating moves are “yell that people have to do what I want” and “go on a nazi podcast to talk shit about them” and he’s going to be accompanied by people who are paid to undermine him, so good luck, I guess

Have the Rockies thought about just digging a hole a mile deep and putting the stadium there

I realize that Mamdani is a unicorn, but California desperately needs someone who believes in things and has the charisma to convince other people to believe in them too

Every sentence here contradicts most of the other sentences

Data centers provide only a small number of temporary (construction) jobs and, once built, don’t meaningfully increase a city’s tax base. But they wildly increase energy and resource demands, jacking up others’ utility costs

trading the USA's long-standing alliances with the UK, France, Germany, for support for the far-right parties trying to destroy these countries, Farange, Le Pen, AfD etc along with far-right rulers like Netanyahu, Orban, MBS and Putin

Patients on The Pitt this week included a signer of the Declaration of Independence (it is July 4, after all) and an American Marxist. Guess I should go back and check the names the rest of the season

The Forest Service, and many of the functions that are being gutted, are mandated by Title 16 of the U.S. Code. This is a blatant violation of the Take Care clause

WT actual F

The Union was far too lenient on the traitors after the Civil War. Happy Confederate Surrender Day (or whatever it’s called)

A grad student with a visa, disappeared on the spot with no explanation and no ability to seek counsel, by a lawless government

A lot of people are just learning or refusing to learn that you can lose a war even if you don’t lose a battle

There was a book that I remember liking, but I don’t recall anything about it at all, so I was excited to see there is a TV adaptation. Just started the adaptation and remembered that I watched the show but I don’t recall anything about it

Oman is like “we didn’t say or do shit and now we get a million bucks per tanker”

I’m still in awe over all the dumb fuck law firms, tv networks, and universities that caved to Trump. More or less everyone who has stood up to Trump has won and everyone who didn’t has suffered an endless series of humiliations.

BREAKING: Trump announces two week window for Congress to remove him from office

Threatening a genocide after killing countless civilians and burning up unimaginable money only to walk away paying a permanent tax to Iran that wasn’t there before we started the illegal war

The ideal amount of concern about imminent nuclear weapon use is zero. We are not at zero. That’s all we know for sure.

I guess this is what happens when you put the world's dumbest asshole in charge of everything

The Supreme Court says you can’t prosecute him but you sure as hell can extradite him to The Hague

The pull quote is basically the GOP’s motto and platform so I can see why he wouldn’t see a problem with it

"Moon's haunted"

Many of the Black super posters left or were driven out. My point: this paper presents the facts as if user preference change explains most of the dynamic. But if I raised ~$20B and I bought Twitter? I'd kick out the nazis, restore trust & safety, and Black users and superposters would return.
