Imagine you could literally end world hunger and instead you’re obsessed with vanity projects to impress your dipshit buddies

The Oscar-winning Pulp Fiction co-writer recently revealed that his Texas-based banner has three AI-driven films “in active production” through the partnership, noting that he previously found it “almost impossible to get a movie going” as an indie director. “And then I built a technology company over the last year, basically making AI movies,” he explained. “And all of the sudden, boom! Like that, money gets thrown at it. Just by attaching the word AI, and that it’s a technology-based company, all of the sudden, investors came in, and we’re in production on three films now.” Avary added, “Just put AI in front of it, and all of the sudden, you’re in production on three features.”

wow this is really inspiring you sound like a true artist, and not at all like an impossibly cynical hollow-man, and i bet your work will be similarly impressive

IDF soldier EXPOSES murder of children

“There's not a soul in the streets, just a little 4-year-old boy playing…

The commander grabs the boy, and breaks his arm, his leg, and stepped on his stomach three times,

and left."

beyond redemption 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The Ford healthcare disaster continues apace.

Feds need to start regulating provincial healthcare. This is outrageous.

Google gave ICE the sensitive personal data of a student journalist, including his bank account and credit card info, without even letting him know.

The company is also helping bankroll Trump’s vanity ballroom project.

Google is enabling fascism — all to protect its bottom line.

“the(se) same people now control the mechanisms by which accountability might occur. They are simultaneously the accused, the judge, the media, and the algorithm. The loop is closing.”

“This is where Bad Bunny’s performance connects to an argument I made previously about Zohran Mamdani…Both insist on beginning from who they are, not who they are expected to be. Both extend an invitation grounded in solidarity rather than assimilation. And both are loved by many and hated by MAGA.”

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

I’ve now seen the unredacted Epstein files. I am sickened, I am enraged, but I am also heartsick for every woman and girl who experienced this horrific trauma and abuse. I will do everything in my power to get them justice and hold AG Bondi accountable.

Thank you to the emergency responders on the ground for the work they are doing.

Why do you suppose after meeting with Trump officials, Alberta separatists quietly switched their referendum question from wanting Alberta to become a ”sovereign country” to becoming an ”independent state”?

Like the 51’st state? Like Puerto Rico with no elected representatives?

“Several planned ICE office spaces are located near schools and early-childhood care centers.”

The Epstein Administration doubles down.

I tried to save $1,200 by vibe coding for free - and quickly regretted it I wanted to believe this free AI coding tool could replace Claude Code. But it isn't ready for prime time yet.

People keep debating whether Epstein is more tied to Russia or Israel without understanding it's the same people: dual Russia/Israeli citizens involved in organized crime. The modern roots of this operation, going back to the 1980s, are detailed in the excerpt from HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT below.

One of the best examples of racial exceptionalism clouding basic cognitive function on the part of a subset of the US commentariat was when the NYT ran a rare story about the IDF shooting children in the head and evidenced this with actual MRIs and X-Rays and people still denied this was possible.

US Olympic skier Hunter Hess basically said, Let's be kind to everyone. And conservatives lost their shit.

Notice that the media is still not covering Gorelick. They act like Merrick Garland is some great mystery. The exact people who refused to cover Garland's cover-up of Epstein for four years are now gasping about Epstein and acting like they didn't know the whole time. As my book says, THEY KNEW.

“I’m going to tell you something: thoughts are never honest. Emotions are. Do not go around asking for honesty in what people think; much of what they perceive as thinking is empty anyway because it’s thought out again and again and comes out refined and muddy.”

When the Headlines Change but the Violence Doesn’t “This is not a cruel novelty project. It’s infrastructure, designed for permanence and expansion.”

My latest: Applauding community defense is not enough. We are organizing resistance to a concentration camp regime. The front lines are everywhere.

"Everything appears normal. Except for the names of the martyrs painted among the bright colors of the wall. Except for the armed settlers lingering just outside the fence, beside the playground full of children. Except for the fact that anyone ... could be detained at a moment's notice."

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Stephen Harper says the US is a "hostile" regime and Canada must urgently reduce its economic ties and hit back with counter tariffs.
He says business leaders are fooling themselves if they think things will go back to normal.
When I find myself in the same trench as Stephen Harper it's serious.

When you make Rupert Murdoch look like an effective, public-spirited newspaper owner…
