Google AI response to the query "how many D's in the word undisclosed":

There are 3 D's in the word "undisclosed".
U n d i s c l o s e d

• D1: undisclosed
• D2: undisclosed
• D3: undisclosed

If you'd like to test your spelling skills, I can:

• Give you a longer word to count letters in.
• Ask you to spell a similar, complex word.
• Identify other words with multiple 'D's.

Let me know if you want another challenge!

AI responses may include mistakes.

The What meme

David P. Baker @netdpb.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

From Palantir's insane manifesto:

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.

22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

Goose Chase meme:

Which cultures are middling, regressive, and harmful?

Which cultures, Palantir?!
