You work for Palantir. Did you not realize you work for Palintir and instead thought you worked at, well, just about anywhere else in the world that is less evil?
Palantir employees are pressing company leadership over its work for ICE in internal company Slacks obtained by @wired.com

"In my opinion ICE are the bad guys. I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this."

So, a buddy introduced us to his new girlfriend. Within seconds we'd already figured out she'd stab him in his sleep then steal all his spoons or something similar.

Took two months but he woke up and found every single piece of his clothes was literally shredded in a pile...

Exceedingly happy that I'm not in the Dallas area this weekend/week.

Of course, that is always the case when I'm not in the Dallas area.

Well worth reading and knowing exactly who was murdered today.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

All that funding and they still look like dumbasses from a third rate zero budget indy scifi film in their uniforms.
This is...interesting, because it's the exact opposite of the what the rest of USG has been saying about refueling allowing for dynamic space ops. Bratton: “I have not seen in wargaming the military advantage during conflict that refueling brings to space" spacenews.com/as-satellite...

It's strange that sometimes Republicans are the ones who make the strongest arguments in favor of abortion.
Mike Johnson: "I was the product of an unplanned teen pregnancy exactly one year before Roe. A lot of people tried to convince my very young parents that they should just take care of that problem. But I am eternally grateful that they allowed me the chance at life."

Real question for @jasonkpargin.bsky.social
I was just looking at the signed pre-orders and wondered if you ever sit back and just think "that's kinda cool" that people are willing to pay extra to get your signature on your work? Like, it's cool having, how does knowing that we find it cool feel?

Corporate Curses:

Talk about getting cursed. When you get told "I need you there because I need to make sure it gets done" is like the worst curse you can receive. You are officially the "Get R Done" person...and that's rarely good.

For those too young to remember, ActUP did this exact tactic in the 80s to save lives. It was ugly but it worked.
Then of course, the same people that said we should just sit back and let them all die are the same ones supporting the new Gestapo.

Ted is the Texas Punxsutawney Phil. Not coincidentally, we're going to beset by freezing temps for like the next 7 or 8 days.
Here’s Ted Cruz yesterday. People should be fucking SPITTING on him. If it were France, he’d have half his clothing torn off, fleeing on foot across the tarmac.
