This is a Wilde Protein Crackers fan account

[CPG WIRE @cpgwire]

Fast-growing protein snack brand WILDE secured $40M in funding from S2G Investments.

The funding will catapult WILDE’s next phase of growth across product innovation, manufacturing, and brand building as the company expands its position in the fast-growing protein snacking category.

Earlier this year, WILDE opened a 130,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Kentucky and unveiled its latest innovation, WILDE Protein Crackers, which will debut at 3,500 Walmart stores later this month.

Jason Wright, the Founder & CEO of WILDE, spent over 10 years developing proprietary technology that makes high-protein snacks using real chicken breast as the foundation.

WILDE retails at over 35,000 stores and has generated over $100M in retail sales to date.

I’m not a huge fan of AL Power, I’m just noticing the pattern

[janS🦋 @Frictitious]

“This year was $54 million in taxes generated. Last year about $25 million — it was the second-largest taxpaying property in Shelby County.”

Just wondering if there’s any anti-data center influence among the anti-AL Power mob

In 2017 4 blacks tortured a mentally disabled child while screaming "fuck white people." Cut out part of his scalp+made him drink out of the toilet. Ringleader Tesfaye Cooper got a light sentence

He checked back into prison today for attacking another white man. No news coverage

"Again, @Gfennchurch was awarded $425,435 for access easements and less than 9 acres of right of way on his 400+ acre property—not ownership of the land. This transmission line is a necessity to provide reliable electricity to the 3 million customers who depend on it, powering homes, hospitals, schools, businesses and communities," the utility company said.

If you’re going to try to dig into the history and invent some story out of it, then you’d better start with the report that got me blacklisted by both Chinese intelligence and @nvidia in the first place.

Way back in 2021, my colleagues at @CSETGeorgetown and I combed through 70,000 of the Chinese military’s procurement records, and found they were relying almost exclusively on Nvidia-designed chips for their nascent AI and autonomous weapon programs.

We alerted both the company and the Commerce Department to this fact, and outlined several options the U.S. government could take to put an end to this practice, including a chip export ban—which the Biden administration ultimately decided to implement in October 2022.

Later, in spring 2023, @WSJ’s @Lingling_Wei reported that China would expand Counter-Espionage Law to encompass exactly the sort of data collection work we had conducted for that investigation. Anonymous sources in China’s Ministry of State Security blamed our report by name for their decision to crack down on several sources of publicly available data, and expanded the country’s definition of what it would count as “espionage.”

Meanwhile, Nvidia executives maintained there would be “no reason” for the Chinese military to rely on the company’s products, and denied outright that such a thing was happening. Follow-on reporting by CSET’s @SamBresnick confirmed this to be false: the People’s Liberation Army continued to smuggle vast quantities of Nvidia’s chips into mainland China through intermediaries and shell companies like Ms. Huang’s Megaspeed.

Somewhere along the line, Nvidia began propagating the idea that, actually, it could be a *good* thing for Chinese AI labs to remain dependent on their products—to suck the wind out of a fledgling Chinese chipmaking industry. Investors riding the AI wave globbed onto this narrative to justify the progressive unwinding of U.S. export controls and surging overseas sales advocated by Mr. Huang.

After concluding my own service in the State Department, in mid-2025, I posted a long thread on Twitter questioning the company’s continued partnerships with customers in China that had been sanctioned by the U.S. government for building supercomputers for the Chinese military. The company’s website identified several Chinese companies on the Commerce Department’s “Entity List” as being “elite” or “preferred” partners, months after the U.S. government had blacklisted them.

I was then summoned for a meeting the company’s government affairs team, who thanked me for alerting them to these problematic (and potentially unlawful) partnerships “for the first time.” As a concerned citizen, I was happy to help this $4 trillion company with its seemingly significant compliance problem. I told them at that time—and still believe—that the company’s success is good for the United States. I love the company and its products, and want them to succeed. I just wish it wouldn’t enable our adversaries.

Throughout 2025, I continued to advocate for a stringent export control policy, writing pieces critical of H20 and H200 exports to China, and advocating for the GAIN AI Act. The same Nvidia representatives I had met with earlier that summer then complained to my newfound employer, @AEI, and suggested that my employment with the organization be terminated.

AEI’s leadership stuck to its guns and defended my intellectual independence. I was incredibly proud to work for that organization.

Now, I am proud to wear a “China Hawk Badge of Shame” at @JoinFAI. And yes, I am enjoying a bit of delicious irony: that the man who once tried to oust me from my job —and turned a blind eye to his company’s military partnerships in China—may be about to lose his own, for exactly the reasons I have spent the better part of a decade warning about.

The fact that a stupid ring cam video has gotten far more national attention than this shows just how pervasive anti-Whiteness remains in our political discourse.

[David Shane @david_shane]

If you were somehow to rank the incidents that occurred during the last month that should provoke a national conversation, this one probably literally, literally, would not even make the top 50,000. Yet this is the one they pick. You can't overstate the extent to which they are just propagandists, and happy to operate as such.

Two white Ole Miss students are accused of making monkey noises outside the apartment of a black student. It's one of the top national news stories in the nation.

Meanwhile, 4 black men in Albany, Georgia are charged with murdering a 15-year-old white kid and there is no national news coverage.

Why is that?

Avoid online orders - which Kroger relies on in my area since they don’t have stores here

[Jaxon @jaxoncoder]

Walmart and Kroger are quietly rolling out an internal store technology across America that could either modernize retail or bankrupt the middle-class family budget.

Starting across thousands of locations heading into 2027, traditional paper price tags are being ripped off grocery shelves and replaced with cloud-connected digital screens. Raise the price of bottled water by 20 percent the second the afternoon temperature hits 90 degrees. Surge the cost of ground beef, milk, and sandwich bread between 5 PM and 6 PM when exhausted commuters are rushing home from work. Drop prices at 10 AM on a Tuesday, then hike them right back up the minute the after-school crowd walks through the sliding doors.

Every price change happens wirelessly in seconds from a central corporate dashboard. No store employee has to touch a single shelf.

Walmart has already signed a massive deployment deal with VusionGroup to wire 2,300 American supercenters with EdgeSense digital shelf rails by 2027. Kroger is expanding its own Microsoft-backed system called EDGE across hundreds of supermarkets. Over 60 million digital price tags are already blinking on US grocery aisles right now.

This is not supply chain inflation. This is Uber-style surge pricing built directly into the shelves where Americans buy baby formula, eggs, and medicine.

Last week I sat down for coffee with a former retail pricing director who spent 14 years building supermarket margin algorithms before leaving the industry. What he shared over the table completely changed how I look at a grocery aisle.

"Retailers just turned static shelves into live stock tickers. The question is not whether grocery chains will use instant price changes, because they already spent billions installing the hardware. The question is how much extra money a family of four will lose every week simply because both parents work until 5 PM and cannot shop during off-peak hours."

Here is how the digital grocery pricing system actually works, how it tracks you in the aisle, and the exact phone settings and checkout playbook you need to beat it.

[Chris McGuire @ChrisRMcGuire]

Secretary Lutnick literally couldn't even explain why Megaspeed isn't on the Entity List when confronted about it at an NSC meeting by Secretary Bessent. Not only does the rest of the administration not support Commerce's refusal to implement or enforce export controls, but Commerce can't even explain their lack of action when asked about it. This is beyond absurd, and needs to be investigated.

And to be clear, placing Megaspeed on the Entity List today would be way too little too late. Chinese AI chip smuggling via Southeast Asia is rampant. China would just get chips via Speedmatrix, or any of the dozens of other cutouts in Malaysia/Singapore/Thailand that already exist.

Commerce needs to enforce the existing regulations (which it has refused to enforce since May 2025) that would require a license for all AI chip shipments to Southeast Asia, and also require a license for all large-scale AI chip orders to non-trusted companies in most countries. If a sketchy company is ordering $5 billion worth of AI chips, the US government must know about it and at least have the ability to block the sale.

This is the only way to cut down on Chinese smuggling, otherwise we're just playing a game of whack-a-mole that is difficult in the best of times, and that this Commerce department has shown it is uniquely inept at.
