One of many critical (and often counterintuitive) insights from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's latest Q & A. Highest recommendation!

My takeaways from Thiel's Secret Antichrist Lectures (embargo lifted):

1. Tech is building the "machinery" of the Antichrist. D'oh!

2. The Antichrist is defined by "velocity" ("acceleration," eh?)

3. The Antichrist will be Gen Z (weird numerology stuff about the number 33)

News: I have obtained full transcripts of Peter Thiel's Secret Antichrist Lectures (as have multiple other journalists).

They were supposed to be embargoed until 9 a.m. tomorrow, but Reuters has a story up. (They may have gotten them from a different source)

Ukraine has successfully struck several oil depots and a gas processing plant in Russia. The Russian stock market has now hit a three year low after having a 4% drop in a single day. Insiders in Russia are selling in mass as Russia's future economic prospects continue to crumble.

MAGA is freaking out & splintering over a leaked text chain—which TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet says is real—where Kirk wrote “Just lost another Jewish donor…Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot & will not be bullied like this. Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause.” 1/

Correct.

The Roberts Court is anti-constitutional and quite frankly the 6 Justice majority are seditious conspiracy against the United States. Their rulings amount to criminal vandalism & sabotage of the judicial branch, and the sooner we face that fact, the better.

Yes, Democrats created all of these programs

And, to paraphrase Lawrence O’Donnell from The West Wing

Conservatives opposed them on every one of those things

Every. One.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.
