Silicon Valley's New Religion: Peter Thiel's Tech Apocalypse A strange essay reveals how Silicon Valley elites are creating an apocalyptic techno-religion to rule the future of civilization

This is kind of what Thiel’s antichrist lectures are about.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

She was a total gangster, his first teacher in politics, and aided his rise to power!

Wanna guest host the Nerd Reich (with Brooke) while I finish my revisions? Oh, and did you see what the Palantir guy said about LOTR?

“The videos shown to the data annotators also go further, including credit card details and sexual acts. While some footage certainly could've been filmed on purpose by the user, it's thought that many instances were caught without the user or the video's subjects being fully aware.“

We've renamed the DOD the Department of War. Our troops are Warfighters. No of course we're not "at war" you dumb lib

The money behind the new Iran War In private calls over the last several weeks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged President Trump to attack Iran.

1. According to multiple reports both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to attack Iran.

Both countries have increased their influence with Trump by investing billions in projects that personally enrich Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

How to Dismantle a Concentration Camp Trump’s drive to build a network of detention centers is being met with some robust public resistance.

events really pushed this off the page today but I wrote about the public pressure building against concentration camps

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

The “Israel War Room” posts this clip of a worldwide children’s advocate and a mayor fighting for free childcare right after bombing a girls’ school and killing at least 85 students

I had 2018 version but kept getting this weird glitch that required me to restart. Only upgrading solved it.

“To turn off Copilot in Microsoft 365 apps on a Mac, go to the app menu, select Preferences, then Authoring and Proofing Tools, and uncheck the Enable Copilot checkbox. After that, close and restart the app for the changes to take effect.”

I have Libre, but for this particular project I must use Word.

I upgraded to the latest MS Word and this annoying AI "copilot" kept popping up & offering to rewrite my sentences.

It offered to rework a sentence about fascism...then said it was "unable to generate safe, high-quality content with this selection." Ha.

(I finally figured out how to turn it off)

Ranking Americans' most hated foods The foods that topped the list of those disliked or hated by the largest share of American adult citizens are anchovies, liver, and sardines.

I'm Latino and don't like liver. However, my grandparents loved it. It's not a racial thing. It's a generational thing.

Most Americans also dislike anchovy and sardines—which I love.

Anyhow, time to move along...

If you don't understand our tastes, you can't understand our politics.

Congratulations for finally getting the point.

The administration promised to lower costs. That is the core problem.

If he said "Americans can save money by eating beans instead of meat," it would be the same error. (And I like beans a lot)

Exactly. It would be like telling people to stop eating meat because a plant-based diet is cheaper. Now, I like (and mostly adhere to) a plant-based diet. But it would be disastrous for a politician to say that—and the GOP would attack it more than anyone.

Again, you are failing to comprehend. Perhaps it is a language problem?
My point is not that liver is bad. My point is that it is bad politics to tell Americans that they should eat cheaper foods (that they don't usually eat) because they can no longer afford the foods they usually eat.

That's not a counterpoint. I did not question the existence of liver (though I personally find it disgusting). But telling people who can't afford groceries to buy cheaper cuts is a disastrous political message. That was the point.

That's not fair. I'm sure he enjoys a good bear or possum liver whenever he finds a proper specimen bloating on the side of the road.

More like the new tech model of Democrat—subservient to business, non-threatening to fascism. If Trump canceled the election, Lurie would be sure to steer clear of the unpleasant topic, focusing instead on mayoral priorities like lowering corporate taxes and pushing out the unhoused.

"Let them eat cheap cuts"
