Do you think either Putin or Xi would rather have (a) Greenland or (b) the NATO alliance fighting each other and falling out over Greenland?

The national media, the ADL, corporate leaders, etc. are not revisiting their decisions about Musk now afaict. Musk is just allowed to be a very public Nazi accelerationist as well as a CSAM publisher without any mainstream scrutiny.

Synopsis: You need to kick more people out.

You will actually have a larger base of customers/attendees if you kick more people out. You will make more money. I am dead serious.

We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times.

Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write."

A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption.

B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

The Lord of the Rings was about the forces of darkness being unable to imagine its enemies would ever unite together to destroy the most powerful weapon in the world rather than be corrupted by it. Dune was about imperial colonialism over the exploitation of resources and how power ultimately would corrupt any ruler who once thought themselves as moral fighting on the behalf of the colonized. Star Wars was about the rise of imperial fascism and a guerilla roots rebellion rising to ultimately destroy and liberate the people from it. The third film compares the Empire to America and the Rebels to Viet Con. The Matrix Trilogy is about how systems of control ultimately serve to even make liberation from them a feature of the same system. On an individual level it’s also a trans allegory. Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are evil nerds with no media literacy that are trying to destroy the planet because they thought the bad guys had a point.

He's the largest right wing streamer yet you've probably never heard of him. While everyone is asking for the liberal Joe Rogan the radicalization reaching youth is far more traceable to the roach king. His own journey hasn't been told before... Until now
