Former President Joe Biden remains alone at the podium during the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, removing his sunglasses and asking "Where is my granddaughter?" as the stage clears, June 2026.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
If you need any more evidence that democratic congressional leadership supports the Iran war. They miscounted the votes so an actual co-sponsor of the bill had to vote against it to stop it from passing!
Asked if he thinks Israel committed genocide in Gaza, Obama accuses the questioner of not following the rules, then says “there are disasters and catastrophes everywhere”
Obama is a historically inconsequential former president who believes in nothing but his own celebrity
Hilariously, when you actually read this FT article 👇 one of the main "national security problems for Europe" that could be "posed by Chinese green technology" is, quote: "that the US could demand Europe remove Chinese technology from its energy systems — or face tariffs, sanctions or reduced security commitments."
In other words, a risk that has literally nothing to do with China but everything to do with the US's chokehold on European sovereignty.
I have a confession.
I thought this was going to be the last thing I ever saw.
Ever.
When guns went off, I didn’t duck.
I put my hand across the table and said: I respect you.
He didn’t know where he was. He couldn’t say a word.
But I could tell it mattered to him.
This report is explosive and I’m shocked it hasn’t been on my timeline. Billionaire funded PACs are creating these nesting dolls of different organizations that when it comes down to it are basically staffing campaigns which is insanely illegal
My trailer for the podcast Blowback's season on the secret war in Cambodia. I keep getting jobs animating Richard Nixon.
I'm very pleased with this one.
Democratic partisans have been pointing to Trump's war for weeks to chide Hasan Piker and anyone else they blame (read: everyone but themselves) for losing in 2024. But it turns out the Biden admin was planning to attack Iran if they won a 2nd term.
