Anyone who says “be normal” betrays that they have an implicit value system of who is considered normal and who is not, and when you have that, you will always value some people and traits over another. They will always replicate hierarchies of power in the long run.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

I first knew of Gehry when Time magazine had a cover story on the Guggenheim in Bilbao in the 90s and that became a core memory of why I pursued architecture

for this tragedy to have happened there had to have been failure at all levels of decision making and it shows — the authorities, the contractor, the consultant, and the HOA.

It has now been a year since I stopped posting on X. For @spitfirenews.com, I wrote about watching the platform I loved become a conduit for the worst extremism I've ever witnessed. I don't regret leaving. In fact, I wish I'd left even earlier.

One of the things about trust is that it is efficient. It saves you having to invest a lot of time and effort in verification, and if placed in the right places, saves you a lot of pain.

#survivor49 is a microcosm of living in a white supremacist society as it shows that diversity and representation is meaningless when everyone, incl nonwhites are so ingrained with “white first” ideals they don’t even realize it.

remarkable that for the 4th week, it just so happened that the person voted out of #Survivor49 was a black person, despite the entire episode showing that the players in control thought the white woman was the bigger threat. incredible coincidence

it goes back to the AI companies’ criteria for success — a confident AI giving wrong answers is better than a confident AI admitting they don’t have an answer. a false positive is still a positive, and in reporting performance that’s all they care about. the last thing they want is a true negative.

well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

I entered 2025 resolved to look at the regime and explicitly tell myself "that is Babylon" and emotional detach when it came to them and their enablers, especially when it came to tech and retailers.
The Epstein emails really pushes that narrative almost to the point of parody, though
