2028 PRESIDENTIAL RACE: Kamala Harris saw the least qualified candidates (idiots, felons, teenagers, and foreign nationals) get swept into office in the midterms. As a result, she thinks she has a real shot at winning in 2028. #BET
Joe Rogan was live on air when Charlie Kirk was assassinated. He knew instantly that people would celebrate his death.
He called celebrating it “one of the most horrific things you can do.”
I don’t think he expected one of those people to be his longtime friend Dave Chappelle
King Crimson is one of my favorite bands and had a huge influence on me.
This guy breaks down the polymeter really well and makes it easier to understand the mind bending math music, lol.
You've NEVER Heard A Polymeter This Insane!!!

@Robkearney1981 I'd rather die fighting than be a prisoner.
There's something in my nature that would rather be dead than bend the knee. Maybe that has something to do with it?
If the civil war is only fought by one side, then it can only be won by one side.
If only one side is willing to use violence and celebrate it, then only one side is fighting the war.
Sweden's Parliament has approved a constitutional amendment explicitly criminalizing Holocaust denial.
The legislation extends existing provisions against incitement to hatred to cover the denial, justification or gross trivialization of genocide, crimes against humanity and certain other international crimes, subject to the law's conditions.
The constitutional changes will enter into force on January 1, 2027.
Completely hypothetical question: Suppose that someone today started a new religion that condoned pedophilia, viewed women as inferior, despised everyone who was not of their religion, hated dogs, desired to conquer every inch of the world, hated our culture, civilization, and heritage, was astoundingly illiberal, cut off the clitorises of five-year-old girls, along with 1,000,000 other pieces of evidence that were contrary to every one of your liberal values. Would you think it ok to ban it or should it be granted full freedom to take over our society?
The story keeps getting crazier. To recap everything that has been reported so far:
- The US intelligence community discovered that Jensen Huang, the CEO of the largest company in the world, was sleeping with Alice Huang, a Chinese spy and an executive at Megaspeed. (FT)
- Multiple independent investigations have concluded that Megaspeed is likely a Chinese cutout, which helps Chinese companies access AI chips or circumvent export controls. (NYT and Bloomberg)
- The US intelligence community also concluded that Alice Huang’s goal was to convince Jensen to lobby the U.S. government to loosen export controls on advanced AI chips. (NYT)
- The intelligence community relayed this information to “a small group of top US government officials” earlier this year. (FT)
- Over the last year, Jensen Huang has repeatedly lobbied the U.S. government to loosen export controls on advanced chips. @BISgov has done so, not only by permitting the export of H200 chips to China, but also not enforcing export controls that would have required a license for exports of the most advanced Blackwell chips to Megaspeed and Southeast Asia.
- Although @CommerceGov leadership was presumably briefed on this information by the U.S. intelligence community, @BISgov has taken no actions to tighten controls on Megaspeed or Southeast Asia.
- Megaspeed remains a preferred cloud partner of Nvidia, and continues to receive Nvidia Blackwell chips despite employing a Chinese spy who reportedly is romantically engaged with the CEO of Nvidia.
- Tens of billions of dollars worth of AI chips have been exported to Southeast Asia this year alone, and Malaysia and Singapore are now two of the four largest importers of AI chips in the world.
What is going on here??? We need answers. The question of who gets the most advanced AI chips in the world is literally the defining strategic question of our time. And not only does it seem like the MSS may be directly influencing the debate on export controls in the United States, but also @CommerceGov is refusing to listen to the warnings of the IC on this issue. What is a POSSIBLE good explanation for why Megaspeed is still receiving chips? Why is there not a license requirement for AI chip shipments to all of Southeast Asia? This is beyond strange at this point.
The fallout from this story will be massive. Obviously, the motivations underpinning Nvidia’s policy views opposing export controls must now all be questioned. But also, how did @BISgov sit on this information and has still taken no actions? We need answers.
