I LOVE THIS! Local radio is the BEST. A number of songs I post here I found from local radio.

when is the iranian ai video of hegseth reading biblical tarantino (which i am actually guessing comes from their babylonian or dark cult ritual book) dropping? there’s just too much to mock. we can’t even compare this to kendrick/drake because at least drake responded with something. what has trumpism responded with? kristi noem’s hubby’s balloon boobs. we’re lost in the simulacra without the simulacrum, the qualia of the hyperreality—copies with no originals.

Palantir named for Palantiri: (AI summary—> The palantíri are powerful tools, but they require users to have great strength of will to interpret their visions accurately. Misinterpretations can lead to disastrous consequences, as seen with characters like Denethor and Sauron, who were misled by the images shown to them. The stones can display truthful images, but the context can be manipulated, leading to false conclusions.

Quoted in the same issue: “Saving lives and on occasion taking lives is super interesting." he told the New York Times, our dear Alex Karp is leaving quite a trail for criminal charges (and this is probably mild compared to other comments.) Thiel did not show up at Bilderberg. Palantir getting ousted from Europe. Can I bet on Kalshi that these two will end up in jail? (Locking yourself in a bunker to avoid arrest or vigilantes counts).

no comment.

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought

Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

by the way, iran has a deep cinematic history with lots of auteurs and incredible films (kiarostami’s taste of cherry is a classic & one of my favs) so there’s narrative strength in the LEGO vids—that is clear. “many upset by the many upsets” (my new year’s post)

when you can’t compete in the ai slop marketplace… (watch LEGO release an iranian themed toy set and it be a bestseller. toyland reparations!)

Dang, the intellectual class is losing the will to live! I LOVE LEISURE. I always have. It is a luxurious state of existence for a human being who has an endless capacity for imagination and is still living in a posture of curiosity towards the world, beings, and the cosmos. The point is that not everyone deserves it or has an ability to exist within the vastness of its existential expanse. These two are feeling The Void. In that sense, “earning your leisure” is more of a spiritual struggle than an economic one. As the illusional trappings of the materialist ego fall, The Void appears. What will you fill it with? —————————————- “Life is extending while the things that traditionally gave it meaning are in decline.” “We have become “a downwardly mobile species”, argues the writer Tom Rachman. A life in which our minds are superfluous seems less worth living.” “Our lifespan has risen faster than our healthy years. The discrepancy is worst in the US, where the average person in 2019 lived with disability or sickness for 12.4 years before death.” —Steven Kuper, “The creeping feeling that life is getting too long,” FT, 4/11/26 ————————————- “If I am right, and the political chaos of this era owes something to leisure, then it follows that we should fear the future.” —Janan Ganesh, “The Tragedy of Leisure,” FT, 4/11/26

Can we all appreciate this moment? I get it is not clear as yet but it should be. Not just U.S./Israel lost—> PALANTIR LOST. i.e. Techno-dictatorship LOST. They freaking LOST. Thought they had it & us in the bag. The data centers are on hold. The leaders of ChatGPT, ANTHROPIC, xAI are sissy fighting over gov’t contracts that are meaningless anyway. A whole House of Cards is collapsing. We are here. Now. Honestly, I thought this was starting in 2001 & maybe it did & took a while but in any case, we made it. A whole new world is beginning. AND WE ARE HERE FOR IT. (Oh & that Western hemisphere thing/strategy whatever—>NOPE. Not happening!)

can we get an indie onslaught in these mid-terms? if i have to see another dem or repub purporting to represent americans…

did bitcoin just become the world’s reserve currency?

made my first bitcoin purchase today. (i figured if it’s good enough for the hormuz strait, it’s good enough for me.) am i early or late to the party? jean-claude carriere once asked: “is cinema young or old?” i think it’s young.

Silicon Valley VC’s be like, “i’ve got tech bros in every area code.” i’ll stop. really. at least now we know why women get 2% of VC funding. not enough shit.

ok so, when i called these guys “f***tards” or “f***turds” i meant it literally not figuratively. turns out these silicon lovers are all screwing each other figuratively & literally. that’s even more funny. ClosedAI = Anthropic = xAI (spinoffs) and now they are fighting in court about who gets to be on top (figuratively but perhaps literally) and it is all the same tech with different marketing and they are all trading the same intestinal parasites. 🦠 and we’re supposed to think these slovenly promiscuous losers are leading the American economy and technocracy. yeah. ok. good thing their code is leaking like they’re leaky guts. i know that’s mean. but is it really?

it’s called: DIRECTED CONSCIOUSNESS. it’s how we rack up wins. one day i’ll explain it. for now the fact that everyone thinks thiel is the antichrist & altman a psycho is a marker of the processes’ fruits.

good news is i can retire from trolling altarboy/alterboy. seems like the collective unconscious consciously has deemed him a lying psychopath. what i learned from ronan’s article: he slept his way up (implied, not stated). graham guy who gave him the YC job is certainly an enthusiastic “mentor.” he’s technically illiterate (he comes off as not bright to me so i appreciate that is confirmed). met his husband in thiel’s hot tub. (gross. mega gross). in other good news, it seems they are all just going to tear each other down like some bitter scorned lovers: amodei perhaps leaked his notes, elon suing sammy, j.d. will have to rebuff thiel as the public can’t stand the “antichrist” which is thiel’s new moniker, and so those two will go at it, again, less work for us, they can destroy themselves. i don’t think they are even billionaires at this point.
