Palantir rallies 15% for the week as Iran war boosts prospects, muting Anthropic concern
We are literally waging war with something named after an object that the wisest person in the world could not wield without being corrupted and falling into the enemy's hands. We live in the stupidest timeline.
βTrans children are perfect.β
βA country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."
A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.
Don't let up!!!

Thank you to the NY Attorney Generalβs Office for affirming our community.

Iβve now watched this clip of Delroy Lindo hugging Michael B. Jordan 6 times. And itβs still not enough.
Right now UK is pretty much running the electrical grid on renewables and Nuclear.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nationβs people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustnβt let this war do so.

Hey Evil Hat team,
Promised this is the last time youβll hear from me.
We are wrapping up generating content on the house. The AI studio is starting to get fully booked with our paying clients, and I have strict orders to stop promoting this come the weekend.
I figured Evil Hat might as well get some work out of us at no cost while you can.
Want in before we close it up?
Best,
[redacted]
And then our reply:
Hi [redacted],
We will never use AI for our games or for our marketing. It's toxic to our customer audience and it's an ethical violation of the hard work put in by the human artists we hire to illustrate our books and the human writers who design our games.
In short, it's not "free work" it's theft.
Feel free to take me off your mailing list. Hope you turn around your business model because frankly, your current approach sucks shit.

sometimes you have to be clear about your values
this is what they said it would be like under socialism
Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, thatβs when you absolutely need to vote.
Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?
Lynnwood City Council voted 7-0 to cancel Flock camera contract. The issue was originally scheduled to be considered as a regular agenda item later in the meeting, but CM Isabel Mata moved that the cancellation be added to the councilβs consent agenda

The press has reported on yesterdayβs Supreme Court decision as if it were only about tariffs. Wrong. Itβs far bigger and even more important. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-supreme-courts-tariff-decision
The news wonβt tell you, but there are lots of good people out there doing good things. Thereβs still kindness in the world. Be part of that. Love, like fighting fascism, is punk as fuck.
More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.
Haven Watch lives by the promise, βNo One Walks Alone.β Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.
Beautiful and devastating all at once.
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Bondi is an abhorrent fucking ghoul.
We just shared the link from NBC about three warehouses being bought to house immigrants, but it now looks like we seriously underreported how many are being purchased. Based on information many of you have shared, the number appears to be over 26.
Gen A.I. barons want us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to build hell and have us pay for it.
Pardoned insurrectionists commit crimes at a higher rate than immigrants.
"The new law forbids counties and local law enforcement from contracting with ICE. It mandates that public bodies terminate any existing immigration detention agreements and prohibits the use of public property for federal civil immigration detention..."
