But you could monetize the takes! You could have RPM on your takes! You could become part of the takes industrial complex! You could turn in place like a gear in that system, endless and eternal, churning in the wash of the free market of ideas.

I guess. I don't visit non legal states if I can help it so I'm in a bubble. A very hazy bubble. I just remember being in college studying drug policy and how by the time I had to write a paper about it, being unable to find a logical policy proposal other than "legalize and regulate everything."

I really thought widespread weed legalization would help people see this clearly. Oh to be young and dumb again.

sometimes i feel like people understand that the war on drugs is a failure across every front (# of drugs in country, # of drug users, utility of spending, millions dead, millions incarcerated, etc), but don't internalize that it necessitates entirely rethinking societal relationship to substances.

Fascinating that, over a decade into trumpism, they are still too scared to say, "We want racial apartheid and segregation." They'll come right up to the line but can't stand full-throatedly behind that goal. It really puts the worm-like constitution of the fascist character into focus.

Tangentially, this is why we will win. Those of us who have no issue loudly proclaiming our belief in an egalitarian democracy with guaranteed rights to housing, healthcare, nutrition, childcare, etc. are going to win against these losers who are too ashamed of their goals to state them publicly.

Jon is smart enough. These people prey on a lack of information, not a lack of intelligence. That's what makes it so frustrating. Give me five minutes with Jon and he'll know exactly how to take this snot-nosed AI propagandist down a peg.

They wont. Zaslav walked off even richer after destroying the company even further than it already had been. Get ready for a deluge if AI slop, media with a blatantly fascistic bent, and a metric ton of tax writeoffs for things that will never be seen again.

Basically why I moved back to Denver. I'm beating the influx of NY and LAers when their cities are washed beneath the waves. Actually I think the incoming NYers have to team up with the Denverites to push back the hordes of LAers. The line must be drawn here!

Don't let copaganda fool you — police violence is not tied to their safety. In 2025, the vast majority of killings began with police responding to suspected non-violent offenses or cases where no crime was reported.
Screenshot of chart showing how police killings in 2025 began. 680 were suspected non-violent offenses or cases where no crime was reported. 112 were traffic violations. 84 were unknown.

I've seen every single damn MCU movie opening weekend, almost all opening night. But I stopped caring after the shitshow of Cap 4. At this point I think Kevin Feige may need to be mercy killed like Old Yeller.

Palantir shifting from hiring only "Ivy or Ivy-equivalent" degrees to hiring only out of high school is an admission that "training" and "talent" were never factors at all. They were looking for packaging & prestige, and now they're looking for ignorance & impressionability.
Tech companies launching their own programs to train grads because they ‘can’t rely’ on Ivy Leagues
By Lydia Moynihan
Published Oct. 1, 2026, 6:00 a.m. ETAs the university system increasingly becomes a wildly expensive bastion of anti-Western sentiment, key figures in Silicon Valley are betting on alternatives to higher education. They argue that even the Ivy League is no longer producing the best candidates — nor are they even accepting some of the most qualified students.

“It used to be the case that you could rely on somebody who went to an Ivy or Ivy-equivalent to be top notch,” said Jordan Hirsch, who runs Palantir’s semester-long intensive Meritocracy Fellowship, which accepts high school graduates.“But that’s not the case anymore… we suspected that there was a lot of talent being missed.”
