I love sharks and making questionable decisions

Peter Thiel, Elon Musk & the PayPal Mafia have been building an alternate government inside the real one for almost three decades—to prepare for the “government bubble” to break.

In 2012, at a libertarian student event, Thiel said:
“As a society we may have to still go through one last really crazy bubble but when this one is over it will be time to sort of reassess the entire history of the last 200 years and I think the only thing left standing will be something like a libertarian account of what’s going to happen. When the government bubble breaks the people in this room will be the people who will be the only people who have been right all along.“

We’re about to spend $300,000,000,000 rebuilding Iran after spending $80,000,000,000 destroying it, while telling Americans on Medicaid to take a hike.

America First.

@JohnGubba They have the obligation to boo, not the right to.

Reasons to watch the World Cup on Telemundo:
1. They are one of the only broadcasters that run zero ads during the "hydration breaks". Instead they run highlights of the game and show fans doing cool stuff inside and outside the stadium. ✅
2. Spanish commentary is an absolute vibe and even if you don't speak it you'll be screaming NUEVAYOL by the end of your 2nd or 3rd game. ✅
3. They don't refer to the hydration breaks as the "end of the quarter". ✅

Reasons not to watch the World Cup on Telemundo:
1. You LOVE Alexei Lalas and you need that Fox Broadcast so you can hear everything he thinks about the World Cup. ❌

For me, the decision is easy!! VIVA TELEMUNDO!!

@wildbob420 @schadjoe Soccer people have hated Alexi’s takes since he’s become an analyst (way before 2015). He may be an elite US player but he fucking sucks as a commentator

@itsolelehmann @aisolopreneur Then why aren’t AI executives pushing for these more practical and effective uses of ai and instead forcing it upon every facet of life that doesn’t need it?

@stoolpresidente Dave you strike me as one of those people they interview in Times Square that thinks Africa is a country

BREAKING: Tensions Are Escalating In Albania.

After days of protests over a controversial luxury resort project, demonstrators in Rrjoll, northern Albania, tore down fencing surrounding the construction site.

Protesters say land belonging to roughly 200 local families was confiscated to make way for the development.

The confrontation comes as environmental and anti-corruption demonstrations continue to spread across the country.

This is no longer just a dispute over a resort.

It’s becoming a broader fight over land rights, political influence, and who benefits from Albania’s development boom.

ridiculous that we have all these supposed billionaire geniuses running around, and their greatest innovation of our lifetime has been stealing our personal data to sell us targeted ads.

🚨JUST IN: Jurgen Klopp on cooling breaks:

"Football is being held hostage by executives in air-conditioned offices. These so-called 'cooling breaks' were sold to us as a shield for the players' well-being. It's nothing more than a gilded cage built for sponsors."

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:

“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.

The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.

This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”

The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.

And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?

Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.

The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

There’s something so inherently wrong with a society that can’t go 45 minutes without an ad.

Your periodic reminder that a cow cannot add a single atom of carbon to the atmosphere that wasn't previously removed from the atmosphere by a plant.

So, cows cannot increase atmospheric CO2, they merely recycle CO2. It's not a new source of carbon.

And without cows, bacteria would, over time, rot plant fibers and return the exact same amount of carbon to the atmosphere.

But grazing cows help grass sod fix carbon in the soil, thus increasing soil fertility over time.

The climate crusade is built on scientific fraud.

And many of the proposed solutions, like reducing cows, are directly causing much of the soil degradation and forest fires (because of ungrazed fuel in the forests), which activists and dishonest scientists then blame on "climate change".

I shouldn’t have smoked that shit, now I’m wondering what Trump and Musk’s conversations sound like

For being such a critical thinker, have you ever thought it might be a national security risk if the @POTUS is named in the files, Laura?
