every political reporter knows that the jay jones text are on the tame end of how politicians talk in private, not to mention tamer than how trump and his associates talk in public

smart TVs have made this so much worse. so many of these free streaming right wing news channels and many are heavily advertised on the home screen.

"four roughly two-hour lectures"???

George Pearkes @peark.es · 15h

I couldn't believe this but it's true, Thiel can't decide whether the antichrist is Greta or Big Yud. Positively reeling.

(Washington Post) -- Tech billionaire Peter Thiel recently warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and critics of technology or artificial intelligence are "legionnaires of the Antichrist" in private lectures on Christianity that connected government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future, according to recordings reviewed by The Washington Post.
In the four, roughly two-hour lectures, which began last month and culminated Monday at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, Thiel laid out his religious views to a sold-out audience told to keep the contents "off-the-record," according to an event listing. He argued that those who propose limits on technology development not only hinder business but threaten to usher in the destruction of the United States and an era of global totalitarian rule, according to the recordings.
"In the 17th, 18th century, the Antichrist would have been a Dr. Strangelove, a scientist who did all this sort of evil crazy science," Thiel said in his Sept. 15 opening talk, according to the recordings. "In the 21st century, the Antichrist is a Luddite who wants to stop all science. It's someone like Greta or Eliezer," he said, referring to Thunberg and Eliezer Yudkowsky, a prominent critic of the tech industry's approach to AI.

I’ve missed hearing Woody Allen’s voice - I’d been so rattled this week and there he was, his full self.

this is the classic power move of a manager who works about an hour a day but wants to create the impression they are working from sunrise to sunset

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

why settle for just the halftime show when the whole nfl is woke and lgbt now? i can't be the only one who thinks turning point should channel its right wing influencer pipeline into a rival football league, all safety procedures and concussion protocols (feminine coded) removed

Turning Point USA announced it will host counterprogramming to the Super Bowl halftime show, called “The All American Halftime Show,” as MAGA critics have been enraged over the selection of Bad Bunny as the 2026 headliner.
