What dedication to the grift. We are real-time seeing the downfall of US influence due to the trade war shit and this MF is saying the solution is “LLMs need more ‘lectrolytes”? This world is done for.

Ugh, what a piece of shit.

even some of the people who joined him on this disavowed him

Normal fascist shit.

Before his turn to zionism he dropped a lot of antisemitic dogwhistles.

For a Christian nationalist, zionism is an antisemitic dogwhistle

He also was too crazy for dr phil (source)

He’s probably malding over the fact that he doesn’t have Ben Shapiro’s career.

I’d also like a primer! That being said, I decided to take 1 minute of psychic DOT and looked at his profile. His Bio:

Perennial outsider. Cancelled by both sides. Pro-America. Anti-Communist. Anti-Fascist. Based af. Liberty First! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Chud shit. At best, he’s a Pinker-esque centrist (and therefore a cryptofascist). At worst, a Nazi. My bet is Nazi.

Scrolling through some of the tweets, it’s clear that:

  • He is a Zionist, and therefore a fascist
  • He is currently in a twitter feud with Cernovich
  • He believes in some kind of “Woke Right” that will apparently destroy the GOP if left unchecked (read: un-killed)
  • Yarvin wants to adopt him

Not a great guy, it seems!

E: at the very surface of his tweets, he takes every opportunity to denounce fascism. What he is really opposed to is authoritarianism, or more specifically, dictatorships. Normal chud shit.

If Palantir represents a veritable unknown for the public, so too could its UK chief, the grandson of Oswald Mosley and nephew of former F1 president Max Mosley.

Ah, yes, noted grandfather and nothing else, Oswald Mosley. Definitely not the founder of British Union of Fascists, please don't look into that. His son was in the racecar business, isn't that lovely?

Posting this as a stub because of reasons

  1. I don't want to do the research on this
  2. This was pulled from the front page of reddit
  3. Connecting these two things is largely tabloid speculation, but funny enough for a stub.

Well. I don’t want adams to win

I can only offer my solidarity and sympathies. If I were still living in the US, I’d probably have started taking firearms training and bought some by now.

eric adams should change his platform to “I’m not cuomo”

Sure, but we should be calling these things out directly, rather than indirectly in a way that fuels racism.

 

On the hottest and coldest days, when demand for electricity peaks and the price rockets, the bitcoin miners either sell power back to providers at a profit or stop mining for a fee, paid by ercot. Doing so has become more lucrative than mining itself. In August of 2023 Riot collected $32m from curtailing mining and just $8.6m from selling bitcoin.

Kind of sharing this because the headline is a little sensationalist and makes it sound like MS is hard right (they are, but not like this) and anti-EU.

I mean, they probably are! Especially if it means MS is barred from monopolies and vertical integration.

Wish I had a screengrab of this, but occasionally when I open the awful.systems page, it looks like I've logged in as a different user. Just now the username "autumnal" appeared instead of my own. Don't know how to reproduce.

This has happened in chrome on macosx a few times, haven't seen it elsewhere.

TIL that television program “The Boys” has an in universe cryptocurrency as a satire of, well, cryptocurrency in general but also specifically that time when DJT was selling NFTs. They occasionally tweet about it.

It has a listing on the “BSCScan” crypto tracker under the name “VTC” so someone might have actually minted it? It might surprise some of you that I have no way of telling the realness of such a thing.

 

Uncritically sharing this article with naive hope. Is this just PR for a game? Probably. Indies deserve as much free press as possible though.

 

As is tradition I am sharing this link without having listened yet.
