Judging from the vast numbers of riot police, undercover agents, and crowd control hardware used to beat students, one begins to understand the French concern about a budget imbalance.

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. ET

As 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.”

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I've concluded that the presidential system as laid out in the Constitution is a failure. Further, I've concluded that presidential systems, in general, are an unwise choice if the goal is stable democratic government under the law.

It is extraordinary that Netanyahu mentioned Hassan Piker and Mamdani in his speech; in a speech in which he also held up a pager... A deranged and utterly shameless genocidaire who has been basically given a carte blanche by the US and Europeans.

A huge part of surgery is pain mitigation and the relief of suffering. It's called care. It's called humanity. It's called empathy. it's called stewardship. These AI asshats have lost all of that, and they should be suffering for it, not us.

Perhaps if Democrats don’t want to let Jill Stein take votes they should stand for something every once in a while. I did the whole blue no matter who, and the “they don’t have the votes”. They go out of their way to side with the Emperor every time. It is theater.

I took facebooks’s muse for a spin. Seemed fine but they it goes “can I take something off your plate?” And I figured “go file 9 months of medical claims, go get the PDFs from my inbox and here is the insurance web site” And holy shit, it did it and erased months of dread I had.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

I used to buy this fancy moisturizer that would last a month or two. It was nice, but pricey. Then I bought this Japanese bottle of moisturizer and it is still going on for a year. And it doubles as body wash, shampoo and conditioner.
