You’ll notice there is no look-back celebration or remembrance of this or virtually any of the other great moral victories from that era. It’s all been memory holed, a will-o'-the-wisp dimming out in the far distance.

From rack resiliency to node redundancy: America's warfighters and their allies no longer have to drown in data.

Thank you @JohnSewardDC @WashTimes for the conversation with @Tyler_Sweatt and I about how @armada_ai and @SecondFront deliver AI with speed, scale and sovereignty:

They're scripting the outrage.

A "Creator Brief" is being circulated to influencers telling them exactly what to say about Delaney Hall.

Rule 1: Don't call it a detention center. Call it a "concentration camp."

Rule 2: Don't call them detainees. Call them "captives."

Rule 3: Don't say people were arrested. Say they were "kidnapped" or "abducted."

Pre-written content hooks include: "Wake the fuck up America. We're officially Nazi Germany."

The brief provides four tiers of content creation (from "like and share" to "record a direct-to-camera video"), eight accounts to follow for updates, dozens of pre-selected video clips sorted by platform, and a word-for-word "Core Message" every creator is supposed to repeat.

It even tells creators to follow "guidance on Delaney from Detention Watch Network."

That's the same DWN with $7.2 million in assets and Ford Foundation funding. The same org that employs the main protest organizer, Jenny Garcia.

Foundation money funds the organizer. The organizer runs the protest. Then a content playbook gets distributed telling influencers which words to use and which clips to share.

That's not a grassroots movement.

The fact that we are having a hard time throwing America a 250th birthday party because leftists are threatening to kill everyone involved is the most zeitgeist shit I’ve ever seen in my life

“We provide medical care for them, and guess what? They also provide commissary, which I think is kind of a gift. So, if any of these Democrats want to provide commissary on their books — feel free. Take your personal money and provide all the money you want for these detainees.” @SecMullinDHS

Today, we remember a legend.

On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.

He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

[Will Ricciardella @WillRicci]

I had a professor at Cal State Long Beach who constantly trashed America as racist, oppressive, and irredeemable. He mocked the Constitution, capitalism, and virtually every American institution.

At the end of the semester, he gave an emotional story about how his mother crawled through sewer pipes to reach America.

So I raised my hand and asked: if America is this irredeemable, oppressive country, why did she risk everything to come here? And why are neither of you interested in going back?

He didn’t answer the question. Instead he called me disrespectful.

That’s because much of this ideology is not rooted in reality testing. It’s institutional theater rewarded by academia, media, and activism.

The system incentivizes moral denunciation of America while simultaneously depending on the opportunities America uniquely provides.

My wife mentioned a nice private school over dinner this week
She said the campus was beautiful
I asked what's the tuition
She said we should look at it as an investment in him not a cost
I made a note
She said don't make a note
I said I always make notes
She said this isn't a deal
I said everything is a deal
She closed her eyes

She said we'd discuss it Saturday
I agreed

Saturday 7:02am
She came downstairs in her Saturday robe
Coffee in hand
I had my cargo shorts on

The dining room had been cleared
The projector was on
The analyst was at the head of the table
Quarter zip on, three iced coffees, a legal pad, and two laptops
He had been there since 6:44am

I texted him at 11:14pm Friday
The text said dining room 6:45am bring the model
He sent a thumbs up

My wife stopped in the doorway
She said what is this
I said you said you wanted to discuss it
She said this is not a discussion
I did not respond
She sat down anyway

The analyst stood
He said good morning ma'am
She did not respond
He sat back down
A printed deck in front of each seat
A fourth copy in case

Slide 1 Tuition Schedule
$38,500 per year
Thirteen years
$500,500 nominal
Before escalators
The school has raised tuition 4.2% per year for a decade
With escalators $648,000
My wife said okay
I said I'm not done

Slide 2 Opportunity Cost
Even before escalators
$38,500 invested annually
10% nominal return
S&P long-run average since 1928
By his eighteenth birthday $944,000
My wife said we can afford it
I said I know that's not the slide

Slide 3 Terminal Value at Age 65
$83 million
She was quiet

The analyst slid the sensitivity tables across the table
8% return $31 million
10% return $83 million
12% return $222 million
She did not look

She said this isn't about money
I said it's always about money
She said no it isn't
I said then what is it about
She did not answer

She said you can't put a dollar value on his teachers his classmates his environment
I said I can the analyst already did slide 6
He flipped to slide 6
She did not look

She said the school is the best in the city
I said best is a feeling
She said it produces the best students
I said the students were already the best before they got there

She said our son deserves it
I said our son deserves $83 million

My son walked in
He is five
Dinosaur pajamas
He looked at the projector
He looked at the open deck on the table
He looked at slide 3
He said are we modeling pre-tax or after-tax
The analyst opened a new tab
My wife looked at the ceiling

He said what's the discount rate
The analyst set down his pen
She closed her eyes

He said is this the same return assumption from the 529 conversation
The analyst stopped typing
He looked at me
I did not say anything

She stood up
Sat back down

He said dad can I help
I said yes
He pulled up a chair
The analyst handed him a printout
He started reading

My wife watched him read
She watched him for a long time

She said his name
He looked up
She said do you like school
He said the work is too easy and the kids don't ask questions

She did not respond
She looked at the ceiling
She walked out of the room

The analyst started packing up
He said should I follow up Monday sir
I said no follow up needed

He'll be fine

asked my grandpa what he thinks about the new spotify logo and he told me he saw a man get run over by an M4 sherman tank and pulverized into jelly in korea. the rain diluted his remains into the mud and his existence was erased from history in just a few minutes
