🇯🇵 Last week was the 19th Nipponbashi Street Festival in Osaka. One parade featured maids from Nipponbashi's maid cafes.

While most people know of the maid cafes in Akihabara, Osaka also has many of them in the Nipponbashi area.

The Barnstable County Assembly on Cape Cod, mostly comprised of anti-White leftists, was forced to take public comments yesterday on a new measure that would hamstring ICE from enforcing immigration law in the area. A local patriot managed to show up between work shifts and delivered an incredible speech.

The Left wants YOU, the American people, to pay reparations to illegal immigrants. The very people who broke the law to get here. You don't owe them a single dime. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not America first and has no business governing this country.

Brandon Sanderson explains why Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi is so bad:

"The bad stuff in [The Last Jedi] is so bad. The fact that it is a slow paced chase through space in a world where people have FTL travel. Like, why are the enemy slowly chasing this convoy. Why? This isn't a plot hole.

I sat in the theater. I'm like, 'Warp ahead of them.' ... 'Lightspeed. Lightspeed ahead of them.' ...

I'm okay with the dropping bombs even though it's dumb and makes you be like, 'Wait. What?' But what bothers me is the pacing and the plotting makes no sense. The story makes no sense. Luke is the travesty. The salt planet's cool looking."

Is he just touching the tip of the iceberg here? What else makes this movie so bad?

10 racist truths.

1. Jews will debank anyone who says they control the banks
2. Indians have collective narcissism. This means they view themselves either as masters or slaves. No in between
3. Latinos blare music because they fear introspection
4. Arabs love revenge more than life and are groomed by mothers to carry hate
5. Nigs natural state is half starved in small hunter gatherer societies. Fat nigs are artificially created by White charity
6. Chinese are very intelligent while having almost no imagination or creative ability
7. All the folklore about Gypsies is true
8. Irish are silly people
9. Haitians eat neighborhood cats
10. Somalis are very ugly and that influences their behavior

It's just a complete coincidence that the DOJ has completely withheld all the Epstein documents immediately before, during, and after 9/11, right?

🦔 HP launched a gaming laptop subscription where you pay monthly but never own the hardware. The high-end option is $130/month for an RTX 5080 Omen Max 16. That same laptop costs $2,110 to buy outright, meaning you'd pay the full price in about 16 months but still own nothing.
If you cancel after the first month, you face hefty fees. Canceling the top-tier subscription in month two costs $1,430 plus you have to return the laptop. You can only cancel for free after 13 months, by which point you've paid $1,690 and still have no laptop.

HP's justification: "The traditional upgrade cycle keeps most gamers perpetually one step behind. But with access to a new laptop every year, your subscription breaks that cycle completely."

My Take
This feels like the logical endpoint of the subscription economy. You pay forever, you own nothing, and the company frames it as doing you a favor. HP is betting that people are so conditioned to monthly payments that they won't do the math showing they'd pay full price in 16 months and keep paying after that.

Memory chip prices are up 60% because data centers are consuming everything. Hardware costs are rising. And now HP is using the affordability crisis to push a model where you never build equity in anything you use. We've seen this with software, streaming, cars, and now gaming hardware. The pitch is always about flexibility and staying current. The reality is you're perpetually renting your life from companies that figured out recurring revenue beats selling you something once. At least when you finance a laptop you eventually own it. I don't know how we got to a place where "you will own nothing" stopped being a dystopian warning and became a business model.

YouTuber Jesse James West held a competition to see who’s stronger between tall, strong bodybuilder women and strong dwarf men.

> Dwarf men easily crushed them
> Women were very egoistic, serious, and competitive
> While men were just having fun

Why is gender equality forced when the difference in ability is pretty clear?

How much did that cost 😭
