A vertically oriented promotional poster with a dark blue gradient background for the “Real Estate Future Forum,” organized by Saudi Arabia’s Real Estate General Authority (REGA). At the top are the forum logo and the REGA logo in white. Large Arabic text in the center reads “Riyadh,” described as “the capital of global real estate dialogue,” followed by a short paragraph stating that the forum affirms the Kingdom’s position as a global economic center and brings together international investors and experts to discuss the future of the global economy. Below the text are five professional headshot photos arranged in two rows. In the top row are John Kerry (left), a gray-haired man in a dark suit and tie, and Hillary Clinton (right), a blonde woman smiling and wearing a dark blouse. Beneath each photo are Arabic captions identifying them as former U.S. Secretaries of State from the United States. In the bottom row are three photos: Tucker Carlson (left), a man in a dark jacket and light shirt; Piers Morgan (center), a man in a suit jacket and open-collar shirt; and Richard Branson (right), a man with long blond hair and a beard wearing a dark jacket. Arabic captions beneath each identify Carlson and Morgan as media figures and Branson as the founder of the Virgin Group, with their respective countries listed (United States for Carlson; United Kingdom for Morgan and Branson). Near the bottom, Arabic text states “Fifth Edition,” with dates listed as January 26–28, 2026. Below that, the venue is listed as the Four Seasons Hotel at Kingdom Center in Riyadh. Along the very bottom edge are several small official logos and icons related to Saudi government housing and development programs and Vision 2030, all in white.

Something jarring about seeing Hillary Clinton and Tucker Carlson on the same speech program.

This is for a Saudi Real Estate conference starting tomorrow.

Stephen Miller is a very sick person, more so, IMO, than the president. And he is calling the shots.

I remember when Terry Moran dared to make this observation and got fired from ABC for it.

Mac Randolph RIP Alex Pretti, he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad's final salut at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex' sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to "fight the good fight"

Text of the video posted by Mac Randolph “Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point.”

Every maga should watch this. He was a good man.

On one side is a nurse and a poet dying while saying “Are you okay?” and “I'm not even mad at you dude"

And on the other side are armed officers of the state saying “Boo hoo” and “Fucking bitch.”

And they want you to believe the first side are the domestic terrorists.

I've been tracking gas at my local ARCO in NE Los Angeles. It was $4.19 when Biden left office 1/20/25 and was $4.29 (down slightly from average of $4.40 this year) tonight.

What a glorious day!
Back to multi-days hikes in the hills.
What a reward.

Will this chase every corp out of the country or to FL and TX?

Wow! Thank you.

I saw this excavation when I was in Kaunas 2 years ago. It was Monday and the museums were closed unfortunately.
I need to go back for a week to Kaunas and do research at some point! (my cousin and her husband were very active in Lithuanian politics and culture during the interwar period)

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Curtis Yarvin Fears His Authoritarian Fantasy Is Flopping Dark Enlightenment guru sees his desired revolution unraveling under the weight of its own stupidity

Yarvin’s critique of the Trump administration and DOGE is that it’s not being *extreme enough*

He wrote this in a 7000 word blog post riddled with genocide imagery

www.thenerdreich.com/curtis-yarvi...

Curtis Yarvin helped inspire DOGE. Now he scorns it. The neo-monarchist muse of Silicon Valley helped inspire Elon Musk’s DOGE. Now he compares it to an orchestra of chimpanzees.

Washington Post: “Curtis Yarvin helped inspire DOGE. Now he scorns it.”

They missed a few things, but good overview.

Can astronauts' health give us insights into our own well-being? According to a recent study, yes. In the latest MedCram video, Dr. Seheult looks at the relationship between spring, sunlight, and mitochondrial dysfunction. You can watch it here: buff.ly/qWF0qjd

Yes! She traps average of 5 cats a week.
She keeps them safe until she releases them back where she found them.
(though I joke the local coyotes call her place the all you can eat buffet they can't get in to)

Have fun! Fabulous weather this week.
Hope there is an exhibit for Fix Nation - one thing LA does right. Reduces feral pop and protects birds.

Normie Journalists: Folks, this is total chaos and incompetence with no structure or plan.

They kill quietly and efficiently.
