"Demand for AI sovereignty has now been unleashed. And Palantir is the only company that has demonstrated it can transform tokens into actual economic value. Our customers trust us to provide them with maximal control over their operations, data, and decisions. Their competitive advantage should never become the training data for future models. This quarter was otherworldly: our U.S. commercial revenue grew 149% year-over-year, our overall revenue grew 93% year-over-year, and our Rule of 40 score climbed to 155%. The sovereign AI revolution makes us very optimistic about the future."

🤖 Earnings Summary-kun (AI) Comment
"Palantir Technologies Inc.'s Q2 2026 earnings delivered a remarkably strong beat on both revenue and earnings, significantly exceeding analyst expectations.
Revenue of $1.935B surpassed the consensus estimate of $1.81B by approximately 7%, while adjusted EPS of $0.41 beat the $0.35 estimate by roughly 17%. The standout figure is the 93% year-over-year revenue growth rate, which represents a dramatic acceleration from the 16% YoY growth recorded in Q1 2026. This acceleration is primarily driven by the explosive demand for AI sovereignty, with the U.S. commercial segment leading at 149% YoY growth.
Profitability metrics continued to improve, with gross margin reaching 86.78% and operating margin expanding to 46.18%, up from 40.9% in the prior quarter. The Rule of 40 score of 155% is exceptional by SaaS industry standards. The U.S. commercial RDV reaching $6.238B (up 124% YoY) significantly enhances future revenue visibility and supports the sustainability of growth.
However, valuation remains elevated with a trailing P/E exceeding 130x and P/S above 55x, suggesting that substantial growth expectations are already priced in. While the PEG ratio of 0.46 appears attractive on a growth-adjusted basis, it relies on sustained high growth assumptions.
Post-earnings after-hours trading showed positive price movement, indicating the market's favorable reception. CEO Alexander Karp's narrative of the "sovereign AI revolution" is now backed by concrete financial results, further strengthening Palantir's positioning as a leading AI software platform. Rating: 🚀"

We need a bit more shame.
People used to avoid certain self-interested behaviors to avoid shame, private and public. Law and customs assumed this.
Now, 38% of Stanford students claim to be disabled. 40% of young women (under 35) claim mental illness, and SSI disability payments have gone up 400% in a single generation.
It isn't good for anyone, least of all people who are actually disabled, when everyone looks the other way as friends and family and peers con the system with a level of shamelessness no architect of our safety net ever imagined could be possible in America. When everyone is disabled, nobody is.
Shohei Ohtani takes to Instagram to share that his second baby was born 🥹
“We are again overjoyed to experience this wonderful day in our lives together. Thank you for being born safely. We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us throughout this journey - Shohei, Mamiko”
It’s under-appreciated the extent to which activist judges are ruining society
They *literally study* crime for their career, and know the recidivism stats
Yet they release violent criminals multiple times and give them under-guideline sentences
Hold judges accountable or nothing changes.
