This little wall at Torrance Beach (right by my house) is the real-world cheat code THPS dreams are made of. Hit it at the perfect speed on the right setup and that smooth concrete wall gives you just enough pop and momentum to launch into the history books. Float a big spin or tre flip out at the end, land clean avoiding the sand, and suddenly you’ve got street cred for days. It’s that perfect mix of accessible danger and pure flow—low bust factor, high reward. No massive vert, no crowds of pros gatekeeping it, just you, the Pacific breeze, and the clout of sending it where most people just walk their dogs. One clean session here and you feel like you invented the internet stunt. South Bay locals know: this is the kind of spot that turns casual rolls into legendary clips. If you’re in the area, bring your board, time your run right, and thank me later when the algorithm eats it up. Pure California magic. 🛹🌊

Someone ran Claude Code on a beach where any device overheats and that spot suddenly turned out to be the best home for the most powerful AI in the world. This is the reMarkable Paper Pro. A paper tablet for notes with no browser and no social media and not a single app. He sat down right on the sand in the open sun and brought up Claude Code on Opus 4.6 over the Claude API on the paper screen and opened his project ~/repos/webs while the waves broke a few steps away. For years every device had the same trouble outside. In direct sun the screen glares and washes out and heats up and instead of your work you see your own reflection. But e-ink does not blast its own light into your face. It reflects the sunlight like the page of a book. And here is what came out of it. The very thing that kills any normal screen outside turned into fuel for this one. The brighter the sun the sharper the picture because it has nothing to glare with and nothing to wash out. And then comes the thing no laptop on a beach will give you. Your eyes do not get tired. You can watch Opus think on max effort for an hour and it reads like a book in the sun and not a backlight you squint into. The picture only comes alive. In bright light it does not fade but turns sharper and higher in contrast than it ever was in a room. The charge lasts for days. E-ink barely touches the battery so there is no outlet anywhere on the sand and the tablet does not care. It weighs as much as a notebook. The whole setup folds into a beach bag like a pad with a pen on top. Everything on the screen is for real. Claude Code v2.1.110 and Opus 4.6 on the Claude API and the project ~/repos/webs open right on the e-ink in the middle of the sand. In my opinion this is the most unexpected home for an AI this year. Not an office with the blinds drawn and not a monitor cranked to full brightness but a quiet sheet of paper on the sand that open sun only makes better and on it the most powerful Claude writes code right on the page like a pen.

Alex Karp, Palantir: “At a certain level of accomplishment, you’re in an artistic space where it’s very hard to explain why you have your insights.” "There’s one country in the world where you get rewarded for that.. in America, if you deliver, you can be you.” “This is a maximal freedom culture… & that self-expression—because it’s not playbook—creates an environment that is exceedingly hard to compete with & will piss off all the right people.” . . . "I think in the end, to do something important—whether it’s me, or @elianoayounes, or look at all these people here—these are among the best and most talented people in the world. At a certain level of accomplishment, you’re in an artistic space where it’s very hard to explain why you have your insights, and it goes way beyond experiences that have of course also influenced them. But I just have artistic impulses, and they shape my life, and I’ve allowed myself—or I’ve been forced to allow myself—the freedom to live that way. And there’s one country in the world where you get rewarded for that, because in America, if you deliver, you can be you. You’re your own boss, right? You decide who you want to talk to, you decide who you don’t want to talk to. You have ideas of things you’d like to advance on. And I think one of the biggest variables in my life is simply that I live in a culture where if you deliver—in this case economically—and by the way, at 18, for most investors, we were failing for at least 15 years. Many would say 18 years. Honestly, some would say until two years ago. And still, this is a culture where the financials are going to show up. That’s only possible in this culture. I guess maybe because I lived abroad so long, it’s easier for me to accept and rely on that. I think sometimes people who’ve lived here their whole life don’t always exactly understand that this is a maximal freedom culture. It’s the only culture like this in the world, and it allows you to self-express. And if you self-express, that self-expression—because it’s not playbook—creates an environment that is exceedingly hard to compete with and will piss off all the right people."

Paul Verhoeven on whether the events that take place in "Total Recall" (1990) are real or just a dream: "It is both. To be honest, that’s what I want. I made the movie in a way that it would be true on both levels, and I spent a lot of time to get that. If you want a scientific explanation, you know, of course, in quantum mechanics there is a very interesting principle, the principle of uncertainty, Heisenberg’s principle. If you have a big object and if you try to measure the place of the object and the velocity of the object at the same time, the more precisely you measure velocity the less precise place gets. So that’s the principle. That means, of course, that there are different realities possible at the same moment. What I wanted to do in 'Total Recall' is to do a movie where both levels are true. I mean for me, of course, the film anyhow has to do with two realities, one being the reality of going as a secret agent to Mars and discovering that there is a problem, and solving the problem, which is starting the nuclear reactor and helping the guerrillas and destroying Cohaagen. The second level of the movie, of course, is that from the moment that he goes into the Rekall chair ‘til the end it’s a dream, and I tried to make that second level work throughout the whole movie. So there’s the dream level which starts when he gets into the chair and the thing is in his neck, and that would go throughout the whole movie, so in the next scene where they say, Oh, there’s a problem, there’s a big glitch here, that would be already the dream, of course. That’s where the dream starts. And the next scene where they are fighting and stuff would be part of his dream, convincing him that it is real, because there is a glitch but that would be part of the program. It would be built into the program to make him accept the fact that it’s real, but it’s a dream. If you look at the movie, if you haven’t seen it, or for the second time, you’ll see that the whole program that’s set up at the beginning when he goes to the Rekall office and he talks to this guy who sells him the program on Mars, you’ll see that he gets everything that he wants: he gets the trip to Mars, he gets the girl, the exotic girl, he ki!!s the bad guys, and he saves the entire planet. That’s what he does. And that’s basically the dream. Even halfway through the movie, you may remember, this other guy comes in, Dr. Edgemar, and tells him that he’s in a dream, that he’s still in the Rekall chair, and then Arnold says, “If I’m there, I can ki!! you.” And he puts a gun to his head and the guy says, “Sure, no problem for me, big problem for you, because you will be psychotic from now on because the walls of reality will fall apart. One moment you will be the savior of the rebel cause, the next moment you’ll be Cohaagen’s bosom buddy, but in the end—you will even have these strange fantasies about alien civilizations—but at the end you will be lobotomized.” And then if you see the movie, you realize that all these things happen. I mean he is lobotomized at the end. That’s why at the last shot, when they are so happy and kissing each other, it slowly fades to white, which for me meant, “OK, there he goes. That’s the end-that’s the dream—they lobotomized him.” And all the other things happened, he finds the alien civilization, he rescues the planet, he finds the good girl, he k!!ls the bad guys, but it’s a dream. Now, of course you can see it as a reality, too. So at the end of the movie, getting to white means either it’s a happy ending or he loses his brains . . . which is probably also a happy ending, I don’t know. That was basically what l wanted—that at the end there would be two possibilities, and they would be both true—for me they are both true—it’s not either one or the other. It’s not that either it’s a dream or it is a reality. It is a dream and it is a reality. And I think they’re both there." (Paul Verhoeven's interview with Chris Shea & Wade Jennings, 1992) P.S: On this day, 36 years ago, "Total Recall" (1990) premiered in Los Angeles, California, USA.

I feel like I’m in a daze , a kaleidoscope of past and present, I stare at the people celebrating, drive through neighborhoods that were off-limits, areas that I covered through the work of extraordinary activists and am now seeing for myself, listening to people speaking openly rather than in hushed whispers. It smashes into the past images and experiences I have of Syria, of barrel bombs and jets and the scramble to save people and burial shrouds, of bags of bones and emancipated bodies, of children shivering in the cold too traumatized to cry. It’s like shrapnel to the brain - ripping open the memories of the pain, suffering, and bravery I witnessed covering Syria for 13 years. That feeling of total journalistic incompetence, failure for surely, I would tell myself if we were doing the stories justice something would change. By 2013 I was in a dark mental vortex, I remember feeling like I was holding onto the edge of a mental abyss finger nails ripping about to fall. It was in that darkness that I realized I had to do something more. It was from that darkness that the idea for my charity INARA emerged. I never imagined that I would be able to start INARA’s work in areas that the regime controlled. I truly believed I would never set foot in parts of Syria again in my lifetime. How does one explain the enormity of what has happened here? It’s like being caught in spinning cycles of soul exploding joy and bone crushing pain at the same time. For so many it’s still impossible to comprehend that the Assad family and its cronies that ruled this nation in the most brutal and oppressive of ways is gone. You overhear it in conversations, a son who tells his elderly mother in a restaurant “no you can be happy, you can live your life, they are gone.” It’s not just that the regime is gone, but that it came at a time when many who lived in Syria describe themselves as not really being alive, their days spent moving through a fog of survival between where to get enough to eat, the lack of electricity and other basic services, the inability to hope or even see a bright future for themselves. The fall of the regime came at a time when the world was delivering those who fought and died for freedom another bitter blow, as if abandoning them to the violence and brutality of Assad and the Russians wasn’t enough, countries were willing to bring Assad back into the fold and “normalization” crushed any notion of “accountability” completely disregarding the more than 500,000+ dead, the more than 150,000 disappeared, the millions internally displaced and living in tents, the millions more made refugees. It's not that the path forward is going to be easy, there is so much that needs to be rebuilt from physical construction to rebuilding the fabric of Syria itself. The medical and mental health needs are enormous. There are no guarantees that Syria’s new rulers will put this country on the path of freedom and democracy that those who took to the streets in 2011 demanded. But what there is, is a willingness to give them a chance, an awareness and pragmatism learned over the years, a determination to keep fighting for their rights, and perhaps most of all, there is hope, even if it’s just a sliver.

The Best Cliff Jumping Spot in Michigan If you can't jump into Lake Superior from Blackrocks in Marquette, you probably couldn't last a winter in the U.P. By Jack Ducote Hemlock Hobo Marquette — In the Upper Peninsula, summer moves fast. While the rest of the state deals with bad weather, winter in the U.P. is a different beast. That means Yoopers try to make the most of the limited summer they have. They excel at cramming as much activity as possible into three beautiful months before the cold comes calling again. And they are tough! When you live in a place where there can be blizzards in May and snow piles 6 feet high, you either toughen up or leave. Both factors come together 5 minutes north of Marquette at Presque Isle Park. It’s a little outcrop of rocks and forest that juts into Lake Superior. You know you’re close when you pass the super tankers loading up with iron ore. It’s a gorgeous place to picnic or go for a run, but the real attraction is the Blackrocks, exposed slabs of rock surrounded by deep, clear water. In a state that is relatively flat, it’s one of the best cliff jumping spots you can find. If you’ve been cliff jumping before, the Blackrocks aren't much of a challenge. At its highest point, it’s maybe 20 feet from the top to the water. It’s an easy jump that is easily conquerable by the ordinary Joe. It only gets difficult when you hit the water and realize it’s 45 degrees. Lake Superior is cold year-round, but in early June, when I jumped, the water was freezing because the ice only melted two months ago. Hitting the water felt like taking an ice bath. The swim to shore is way longer than it looks from the cliff and can be pretty dangerous if you aren’t prepared. One local told me he liked to snorkel and rock hound in the water around the cliffs, and he was decked out in a full wetsuit to keep the cold at bay. He often has to pull tourists out of the water who jump in and can’t handle the cold. Blackrocks is more than just a tourist spot. For locals, it’s something more. Every town has a must-see place and for Marquette, that’s Blackrocks. It’s a perfect distillation of the Marquette experience. You’re surrounded by a lake so vast it feels like an ocean. In the summer, the cliffs are prettier than anywhere in the U.P. And yet the cold water lurks below, just like how the winter is on everyone’s mind, even during the brightest and hottest summer days. If you can’t jump from here, then you aren’t going to make it in Marquette. Jumping proves you’re tough enough to handle the cold, that you have the fortitude necessary to handle all the extremes the Upper Peninsula can throw at you. But it also proves that you know how to let loose and enjoy the moment. Marquette is a weird city, and I mean that as a complement. It’s full of crystal stores, secondhand clothing shops, and fusion restaurants. There are normal people living normal lives to be sure, but most people don’t move there just to work a 9-5. There are better places to live in Michigan for that. Marquette’s remote, it’s cold, it’s relatively small. The people who move to Marquette are different. They want that remoteness. They want that space to be themselves. They know how to have fun when it’s time to have fun. Jumping off the cliff is the ultimate shit test. If you won’t even jump, then you aren’t going to fit in. So, if you go to Marquette, head to Blackrocks, just to prove you have it in you.

Lake Superior is cold year-round, but in early June, when I jumped, the water was freezing because the ice only melted two months ago. Hitting the water felt like taking an ice bath. The swim to shore is way longer than it looks from the cliff and can be pretty dangerous if you aren’t prepared. One local told me he liked to snorkel and rock hound in the water around the cliffs, and he was decked out in a full wetsuit to keep the cold at bay. He often has to pull tourists out of the water who jump in and can’t handle the cold. Blackrocks is more than just a tourist spot. For locals, it’s something more. Every town has a must-see place and for Marquette, that’s Blackrocks. It’s a perfect distillation of the Marquette experience. You’re surrounded by a lake so vast it feels like an ocean. In the summer, the cliffs are prettier than anywhere in the U.P. And yet the cold water lurks below, just like how the winter is on everyone’s mind, even during the brightest and hottest summer days. If you can’t jump from here, then you aren’t going to make it in Marquette. Jumping proves you’re tough enough to handle the cold, that you have the fortitude necessary to handle all the extremes the Upper Peninsula can throw at you. But it also proves that you know how to let loose and enjoy the moment. Marquette is a weird city, and I mean that as a complement. It’s full of crystal stores, secondhand clothing shops, and fusion restaurants. There are normal people living normal lives to be sure, but most people don’t move there just to work a 9-5. There are better places to live in Michigan for that. Marquette’s remote, it’s cold, it’s relatively small. The people who move to Marquette are different. They want that remoteness. They want that space to be themselves. They know how to have fun when it’s time to have fun. Jumping off the cliff is the ultimate shit test. If you won’t even jump, then you aren’t going to fit in. So, if you go to Marquette, head to Blackrocks, just to prove you have it in you.

I’ve made a short film. Look at the things around you: doors, bins, staircases, furniture, railings, doorhandles, windows. Do you like how they look, or not? Modern design has become boring, but it doesn’t have to be this way. The word “beautiful” is overused. We don’t need “beautiful” lamps, bus stops, and water fountains – we just need lamps, bus stops, and water fountains that are interesting, that actually mean something. Or, at the very least, not boring. Because the aesthetics of architecture and urban design aren’t just a bonus; they totally change how we think, feel, and behave. Boring environments make us more stressed and less productive; they erode our sense of community; they make us sadder, less trusting, and lonelier. A boring world is one where we spend even more time online and where our addictions are even harder to battle. The Problem There is global, widespread dissatisfaction with how the world looks. In this film, and the series it will lead to, we want to investigate that feeling and give it a voice. The point isn’t that we should return to the past or get rid of modernism. It’s about learning from the past in order to improve the present, and about giving the public what they very clearly want, which isn’t the eradication of modernism but the co-existence of modernism AND traditionalism. Just look where tourists go, where they take their photos, and that tells you everything you need to know about what most people find interesting or beautiful. And look at where people go on holiday. It’s always to cities filled with old architecture and design, with churches and mosques and palaces, with charming little alleyways and stone staircases and wrought-iron railings. Of the world’s fifty most visited buildings, only four were made in the 20th century, and they’re all museums or memorials. There’s a reason why posts about this go viral online all the time. Regardless of why the change happened, it is clearly the case that we no longer make things how we used to. People are rightly confused by the fact that old lamp posts (to take the example we focus on in the film) are usually so pretty, while modern ones are usually so boring. Some people say this is just an example of survivorship bias… and they’re mostly correct. But that’s the whole point! Saying old buildings are usually prettier than modern buildings is not to say that architecture used to be better, or that the past was better. It is simply to say that certain kinds of buildings, because they have been preserved, are good examples of what people like most. In which case... shouldn't we try to design at least some buildings in a way that we know people like? A Unifying Cause Everybody, from all sides of the political spectrum and all backgrounds, stands to benefit from a world that is designed more thoughtfully and imaginatively. The world could be such a colourful, meaningful, and thrilling place! So this isn’t about left versus right or conservatism versus progressivism; it’s about making our world a more interesting and meaningful place to live in. This should be a unifying cause, because everybody loses out when our homes and cities are badly designed. I want this film to unite people who think they’re on opposite sides, and to create a consensus that we need to change our approach to how we design our buildings and the objects – benches, bus stops, bins, lamp posts, aircon units – that fill our cities. The Importance of Details We are incredibly rich and have a sprawling choice of shows to stream, phones to buy, or shoes to wear… but everything feels more and more generic all the time. If you want to understand a society, don’t listen to what it says about itself – look at what it creates. You can learn everything about the Victorians – the good and the bad – just by looking at their lamp posts. And what do the ordinary details of the modern world say about us? That we are technologically advanced, very efficient… and care more about making money, about making things as quickly and cheaply as possible, than making our world an enjoyable place to actually live in. It’s important to learn about why and how things have changed, but that’s for another time. The first step is establishing that the public aren’t happy with modern architecture and design, and that something needs to be done. But what we need isn’t a total revival of so-called ‘traditionalism’; the truth is that traditionalism and modernism can (and should) co-exist. The trouble right now is that we only have one, and that people are tired of it. The Power of Noticing But this film (and the series it will, all being well, lead to) is about more than the specific argument it presents. Above all it’s about a way of seeing the world around us, a way of noticing and thinking. “How you do anything is how you do everything.” That is probably true, and it also applies to whole societies, not just individuals; a single doorbell implies everything else about the whole socio-economic and political system that gave rise to its creation. And, beyond being merely “useful”, the ability to notice details makes the world a richer place to live in, and life a richer thing to lead. This is what the film is about, more than anything: the power and joy of noticing. A Bigger Project This short film is just the beginning. We want to make a full series about the history of art and architecture, both for their own sake and also to see what we can learn about life in the twenty-first century and how to improve it. To keep updated you can join our email list over at our website, linked in the reply below. Final Words You can watch the film here on X, or over on YouTube, also linked in the reply below. So… this is where the dream begins, the dream of a new series and the dream of a more charming, more interesting, more meaningful modern world. Spread the word.

Alligator Alert: Wild Lake Day with the Inshore Boys!” (or “Florida Boys vs. Gator Lake: Pure Childhood Chaos 😎”) In the heart of Florida, where the sun beats down on glassy lakes and adventure calls louder than any gator’s growl, the Inshore Boys set out for another unforgettable day on the water. These Florida boys—full of energy, curiosity, and that unbreakable brotherly bond—launch their boat into the warm shallows, ready for whatever the wild throws at them. “Alligator! Alligator! Look at that!” one of the boys shouts, eyes wide with a mix of thrill and caution as a dark shape glides through the water. The boat turns quickly, hearts racing, but these aren’t just any kids—they’re the Inshore Boys, raised on fishing rods, creek swims, and “boys will be boys” energy. They spot the gator, respect the wild, and keep the good times rolling. Soon the engine quiets, and it’s time for the real fun. Splashes echo across the lake as the boys dive in, swimming, climbing, and exploring like modern-day explorers. Wet Crocs squeak through the underbrush, laughter bounces off the trees, and for a moment, they’re living every kid’s dream: freedom, nature, and a touch of danger. One brother channels his inner Scuba Steve, paddling fearlessly while the others cheer him on. No screens, no rules—just sun-soaked skin, muddy feet, and memories forged in the Florida heat. From the boat to the bank and back again, this day on the lake captures the raw joy of growing up wild. It’s peak childhood: a little risky, a whole lot epic, and 100% unforgettable. These boys remind us all—let ’em explore, let ’em get dirty, and watch them thrive. Stay tuned for more gator-dodging, boat-flipping adventures! 🤙

I’ve never been the super patriotic type, but this World Cup has done something weird to me... Watching the U.S. play on home soil while stadiums packed with people from every background and every country got to experience America firsthand did something to me. The roar of the crowds, the sheer size of everything, the food, the chaos, and the pride all hit different when you see the world reacting to it. It felt like people were finally getting a real taste of what this country is like, and for once, they seemed to like what they saw. That hit me in a way I wasn’t ready for! I felt genuinely proud to be an American, and not in some cheesy flag-waving way, but in a “damn, this place is kind of ridiculous and I love it” kind of way. It got me thinking about all the over-the-top, larger-than-life things we have here that most of the world just doesn’t. So here’s my list of American things that blow other countries’ minds: 🇺🇸Texas BBQ. Not whatever sad little grilled meats other countries call barbecue. I’m talking about actual Texas brisket that’s been smoking for 12 hours and somehow tastes like it was blessed by angels. The rest of the world has no idea what they’re missing. 🇺🇸Real cowboys. Not the movie kind. Actual working cowboys who still exist, rope cattle, and look at you like you’re soft if you complain about the heat. We still have a whole profession that belongs in a Western, and we somehow treat it like it’s normal. 🇺🇸Everything is just bigger. Our trucks are bigger. Our portions are bigger. Our personalities are bigger. Even our problems are bigger. We don’t do subtle in this country, baby!! 🇺🇸You can drive for 10 hours and still be in the same country but in a completely different world. One day you’re in the desert, the next you’re in the mountains, and the day after that you’re at the beach. Most countries can’t even offer that in a week. 🇺🇸State fairs. Where deep-frying butter is considered a normal food option and nobody questions your life choices. We turned “let’s see how much we can fry” into a competitive sport. 🇺🇸National Parks that feel like another planet. Places so massive they have their own weather, their own ecosystems, and could probably be their own countries. We just call them “parks” like it’s no big deal. Grizzlies? We got 'em! Manatees? We got those too! Gators? You betcha! 🇺🇸And then there’s the small detail that we have the most powerful military in the world, and most of us treat it like it’s just another thing on the list of American normal. We’ll lose our minds arguing about whether the Cowboys are good this year or if gas is too expensive, all while casually having the ability to project force anywhere on the planet before most countries can even finish their morning coffee. It’s the kind of thing you don’t really appreciate until you realize how many nations would consider that level of military dominance their entire national personality. This World Cup made me realize I’ve been taking a lot of this for granted. We’ve got our issues, sure. But we also have Texas brisket, real cowboys, and the ability to drive across multiple climates without ever showing a passport. That’s pretty cool when you think about it! I'm an American, and I'm damn proud and grateful to be one!

Roger Federer broke the internet with one statistic that will change how you see every setback in your life. 1,526 singles matches. Won almost 80% of them. 20 Grand Slams. 103 titles. Now answer honestly: What percentage of total points do you think he won across his entire career? 70%? 65%? 60%? Try … 54%. He lost literally almost EVERY SECOND POINT he ever played for 24 years. And still became one of the greatest of all time. Watch him explain it himself (2:07 of pure life-changing wisdom): “In tennis, perfection is impossible… When you lose every second point on average, you teach yourself to say: ‘Okay, I double-faulted — it’s only one point.’ ‘Okay I got passed at the net — it’s only one point.’ Even a screaming overhead smash that ends up on SportsCenter Top 10… still just one point. So when you’re playing your point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. The moment it’s over — it’s behind you. That mindset frees you to attack the next point, and the next, and the next with absolute intensity and clarity.” Then he looked at the crowd and said the line that hit a billion people in the soul: “The real sign of a champion is not that they win every point. It’s that they lose again and again and again… and have learned how to deal with it. Negative energy is wasted energy. Cry it out if you have to. Then force a smile. Move on. Be relentless. Adapt. Grow. Work harder — and work smarter.” Save this post. The next time you lose a deal, bomb a presentation, get ghosted, miss a deadline, or just have “one of those days” — come back here and read it again. You’re not falling behind. You’re just in the 46%. And the 46% is exactly where every single legend has spent most of their career. Keep playing the next point. (full 2:07 clip — sound on)

Let’s talk about Massachusetts — or as I like to call it, the People's Republic of Taxachusetts — where facts go to die and logic gets replaced with virtue signaling. So let’s break this down. The state is run by people who, apparently, think energy policy should be based on emotion and fairy tales rather than, you know, physics. Maura Healey yes, the same Maura Healey who stopped not one, but two major pipelines also shut down the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant. Why? Because nuclear, despite being one of the safest, cleanest, and most efficient energy sources on Earth, doesn’t fit the progressive narrative. That plant, by the way, was subsidizing electricity across the grid at 17 cents per kilowatt hour. Translation: it was keeping prices stable. But no —they shut it down so they could force everything into solar. Solar. A technology that is entirely dependent on whether or not the sun is out and your panels aren’t covered in snow —which, spoiler alert, happens in Massachusetts. And why? Because these people worship at the altar of green energy, regardless of what that means for cost, efficiency, or reliability. It’s like trading in your car for a bicycle in a snowstorm and calling it "progress." What you’re seeing is old-world Bolshevik-style central planning with a smile. It’s all about consolidating power, expanding government control, and destroying any semblance of economic freedom all while gaslighting the public into thinking it’s “for the environment.” And the kicker? The only people this works for are the ones already in power. The elected elites, the bureaucrats — they’ll be fine. You, the average working resident? You get higher bills, unreliable power, and a government that thinks you’re too dumb to notice. But hey —as long as we’re saving the planet, right? Welcome to progressive paradise. #donniepalmer4massachusetts #MA7 #palmerplanninggroup

60 years ago, Ronald Reagan gave Americans a warning that has stood the test of time. This is from Reagan's "Time for Choosing" speech: "If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves." "You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down--up to a man's age-old dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order--or down to the ant heap totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course." ... "Well, I for one resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me--the free man and woman of this country--as 'the masses.' This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, 'the full power of centralized government'--this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy." ... "They say we are always 'against' things, never 'for' anything. Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so." ...

Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world?

"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness." Doesn't it feel like Reagan is speaking to us TODAY?

60 years ago, Ronald Reagan gave Americans a warning that has stood the test of time. This is from Reagan's "Time for Choosing" speech: "If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves." "You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down--up to a man's age-old dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order--or down to the ant heap totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course." ... "Well, I for one resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me--the free man and woman of this country--as 'the masses.' This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, 'the full power of centralized government'--this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy." ... "They say we are always 'against' things, never 'for' anything. Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so." ... "Mr. Democrat himself, Al Smith, the great American, came before the American people and charged that the leadership of his party was taking the part of Jefferson, Jackson, and Cleveland down the road under the banners of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin." ... "Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment." ...

There’s a new claim that “essentially, all that happened was Trump got tired, took control and forced it on Netanyahu, and this is basically the same deal that could have been reached a year earlier,” with the disturbing implication, that’s horrible to say, that IDF soldiers died in vain for a cause that had already been achieved. So, let’s revisit the plans that were laid out by both the current and former American administrations to see if they match up. For example, the Biden plan from June 1, 2024, which was met with considerable enthusiasm, and was even later acknowledged as Netanyahu’s plan. I want to highlight the difference. In the first phase, the IDF should have already pulled back to roughly its current position, and then it was just about releasing humanitarian hostages. As if not all of them are “humanitarian.” Then it transitioned to discussing the release of living hostages. In this phase, the IDF would withdraw from all of Gaza, until the last centimetre, while all the dead hostages remain in Gaza. It’s as different as day and night. Here, everyone is returning, including the dead, and the IDF is still in half of Gaza. This isn’t just about some desire to maintain an occupation or garrison force, but rather to ensure that Hamas disarms — something that didn’t happen in the Biden proposal. So now let’s move on to the Witkoff plan, much closer to us, much better for Israel, but still different. There was talk of releasing half of the dead hostages, but then a temporary ceasefire for two months of negotiations to end the war, and then the IDF would withdraw from more places than it is now, and there would be a guarantee that the war would not be renewed. Once again, we see that there was no connection between the IDF remaining on the ground and the promise that Hamas would disarm, especially while some of the hostages are still there. The greatness of this outline is this issue. I also want to say something general about the matter of responsibility. As ridiculous as it was on October 7 and afterwards to hear from Netanyahu’s supporters that the one who is to blame is the IDF chief of staff, the Shin Bet chief, the attorney general and the Military Advocate General, and that Netanyahu has no part in it — it’s as ridiculous as it is that now they’re saying, “Thank you Trump and thank you Nitzan Alon, and thank you to all of them and to the Qatari prime minister, and Netanyahu and Ron Dermer have nothing to do with it at all.” Indeed, Netanyahu had a very large part in the failure of October 7, and he also has a very large part together with Dermer in this deal. By the way, how does that connect to what Kushner said tonight in Egypt? He said that both the prime minister and Dermer made very big compromises and took risks to see the end of the war. I would like to make a suggestion. Once upon a time, when there was only one channel and people didn’t like the commentators, they said, “Watch the game without the commentary.” I say, let’s watch Trump and Netanyahu’s move without the commentary, because there are a lot of conversations, and this and that, and slander, and sometimes even quotes, but in practice there has never been a president and a prime minister who acted like this, and the results are evident from Iran, through the Golan Heights, through the embassy and now Gaza.

This week Mamoon Hamid and Ilya Fushman of Kleiner Perkins joined Erik Torenberg on Turpentine VC to make the case for the craftsman approach to venture capital, and it's a must-listen. Our top takeaways: 1. KP holds firm in their belief in the craft approach to VC, which isn’t too dissimilar from the approach 30 - 40 years ago. Of course they employ new tools and software that allows them to be better stewards of the capital they manage, but the craft of investing is still at the center of everything they do. Kleiner may never have more than 7 partners: less is more, and one team, one dream. And it all comes from the question of: “how do we make really good decisions?” That means all being based in the Bay Area, having in-person team meetings every Monday, and having those discussions as a team sitting around a table. 2. The team at Kleiner uses “majors and minors” to cover new waves or emerging domains with a small team. Because of their team size, it’s difficult for KP to spin up specialization. So they fall back on having partners with great fundamentals (majors), with the ability to shirt into emergent domains (minors). The minors allow partners to shift into the new trends bubbling up, like crypto, AI, and more. Mamoon and Ilya view their job as making sure they know what the new thing is, and being intentional and deliberate with their decisions to either lean deeper into it, because they believe that’s where real history-making companies will get built, or pass, because they think it’s a fad. 3. The process KP uses to determine how well they’re doing compared to other competing firms. Every Monday, they look at the prior week of Seed, Series A’s, and Series B’s that got done by their peer set. And they ask the following question for each company: “Did we see this one? Or did we not see it?” Then over the course of a quarter, they aggregate that to assess what’s happening on the ground and whether or not they’re seeing what they think are interesting companies in every company they look at. It’s a way of assessing whether or not Kleiner is truly the first, second or third call, or how relevant the firm is to the top companies that are getting funded today. While the ultimate truth to them is the eventual outcomes and win rate, this is a great top-of-funnel leading indicator. Links to the full podcast are in thread. Thank you to Carta, Synaptic, and PestoAI for supporting the show!

I listened to over 100 hours of a Hitler Apologists podcast. (The Stone Choir Podcast) Here what I’ve learned so far… First of all, why did I do it? I did it because I wanted to understand why people that I knew were beginning to hate Jews and blacks. I wanted to understand the road to biological racial essentialism. I wanted to understand how a Christian man could genuinely believe that the best course of action for our country is to kick all the blacks out and send them back to Africa. After listening to these guys for over 100 hours I understand the roadmap to white supremacy. It’s wild but I get it. One of the reasons these guys are so dangerous is because they are deadly accurate at pinpointing many of the problems with our modern liberal society. This is how they win your attention. The utilize a lot of scripture, and they set themselves up as martyr heroes who are willing to sacrifice all for their cause. They’ll say the unpopular thing because they are the defenders of TRUTH! I also believe they are very sincere in their beliefs. The longer you listen the more you realize that literally everything that they’re saying is colored by their distain for Jews, and their belief that whites are the superior race. And I mean everything. It literally always comes back to this. The problem is by the time that this should become obvious, they have already won your trust by saying a whole bunch of other true and helpful things. Another major problem is that very few people are attempting to engage with the actual arguments that these guys are making in their podcast (ironic I know, since I am not attempting to address their arguments in this post). There are a lot of reasons for this, the time sink alone is a significant deterrent. And the kind of men who would be well equipped to address many of the arguments probably don’t see them as enough of an issue to take the time to actually do it. Regardless, it’s worth that needs to be done. I would say that I probably agree with 80 to 85% of what they’re saying, it’s that last 15% that is laced with cyanide that poisons the whole project. Ironically, Corey is so fond of saying again and again throughout the podcast that you can judge a tree by its fruits. If this is so, then we can be sure that the Stone Choir is a rotten tree. All you need to do is look through the posts and replies on their X accounts to see their constant stream of hateful, vile, rhetoric and ANY discerning Christian should be able to immediately dismiss these men out of hand. Honestly, my hope with this post is to demonstrate that I’m actually doing my homework. And that I understand a lot of you guys who are going down the Stone Choir route. I would also invite you brothers to read through Corey and Woes X posts and replies and ask yourself if these are the kinds of men that honor God with their speech. Are these the kinds of men that Christ would be pleased for you to learn from? There is a very clear answer to this question. Many of you know this. Many of you will even say the podcast is good, but I’m not so sure about their rhetoric on X. But please understand, their rhetoric on X is the fruit of their tree. From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (and types in his keyboard). You know that it’s objectionable. But you don’t want to take Corey’s own advice and recognize that that means the tree is rotten. Listen. The PWC is real. It’s a real problem worth addressing. Uprooting the hidden liberalism within modern evangelicalism is one of the most important projects currently underway. These guys are not the ones for the job. Their poison WILL get into and infect you In profound ways. I’ve watched it happen with many young men. So please… If you started hating Jews, and blacks and believing that white to the superior race…. Repent. Come back to Christ. And stop eating rotten fruit from a rotten tree. Content addressing the arguments coming soon…

Farewell to International Space Station! This is truly a special place, special mission, and special team that makes it happen. It is a bittersweet departure today – I have a keen awareness that I may never be back here, and even if I was, it would be at a different time with a different crew. This chapter is over. Spaceflight has always been a life goal, and it has turned into a life-fulfilling endeavor – but not for the reasons I thought growing up. When I was young, I pictured the launch, the incredible ball of fire and the acceleration, the spacewalks (how could you not wonder what it’s like to be in that suit?), and I was fascinated by the shuttles, capsules, and stations. But as I complete this second mission living and working in space, what draws me to this job is the people. Experiences like this are amazing, but the relationships we build that make it possible are the “why.” Every day, this mission depends on people from all over the world, of different nationalities, races, religions, and cultures. It depends on government and commercial entities, it depends on all political parties, and it depends on commitment to an unchanged goal over many years and decades. It depends on people dedicated to being part of something bigger than themselves, whose names may never be known but who wake up every day to make the world a better place and to be part of something they will be proud to tell their grandkids about. History will look kindly upon them. Humans have always had a propensity to explore … across lands and oceans, up mountains, and into the sky. We as a species will never stop wondering what else is out there, and what it would be like to go. But then, in the words of TS Elliot, “…at the end of all our exploring, will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time.” Crew-10 is on its way home.

doyoung talked about the choreo spoiler on his live 🐰 while preparing for the comeback, we’ve been filming a lot of different stuff and working really hard on performances too. we’re trying to film a lot of cool things that we can show you guys soon. 🐰 was it yesterday? I think yesterday? the album name New Wav got revealed, and you got a little glimpse of our preparation process, right? in the middle of that, you could briefly see some of the choreography too. it went like *dances* up to there. 🐰 that choreo in the middle is actually from the beginning parts. it’s the kind of choreography vibe I personally really like. I really like it. im curious how people will react once it’s released. 🐰 this choreo especially is… how do I put it… it’s not the type where you just explode all your energy while dancing. you have to hold everything in tightly while bringing out the swag, rhythm, and groove 🐰 bc you’re dancing while constantly controlling and pressing into the movements, it’s honestly even harder. you have to keep the movements grounded while still releasing power, and everything has to be really detailed. 🐰 thats genuinely harder. after dancing it feels like I just did thirty minutes of cardio . I end up completely out of breath. its not just dancing like crazy with full force. it’s more about killing it with this controlled vibe while holding the energy in, so it’s tough but also really fun. im excited to see how it’ll look once it’s out in the world.

Every song release is a big deal. This song has waited a long time to have its moment. I remember when Sara, Sam and I wrote Fragile (the same day we wrote another song called Madness), it held a special place in my soul as a human. So much so, that it kept disappearing from different projects as if to wait for the right moment to be introduced to the world. Being on Evergreen, song release number 3… it’s crazy how things work themselves out for the best when you trust the process. I always wanted to change the lyrics of the first line because I was afraid it wouldn’t make sense. But the more I worked with it, the more personal it became, and the more truth it carried. I would tell you what it means to me, but I want to hear how all of you connect with it first, so I’ll just say this… This one is for anyone in a season of life where the structure of you that you’ve built for the world needs to take a break and make space to care for the human inside. Whether you have those people, or that person in your life that loves and supports that human, or you’re looking forward to meeting that person someday, this is for you. You deserve to be the human you are, and you deserve to be loved and seen for that human. And if you haven’t felt it yet, I can’t wait for you to feel what it’s like to find someone who makes you feel safe enough to be Fragile.

🔥Whitney Webb cuts to the core of "World War III": "[The Trump admin. has] turned the White House into a trading desk, and they're causing all of this volatility because Trump [et al. are]... insider trading all of it." "Pete Hegseth... [is] obviously retarded." "The person behind [Hegseth] is the person running things. And it's Steve Feinberg of Cerberus Capital Management, which [has] on its board... a host of ex-spooks and former top neocon officials." "The U.S. and Israel have horrendous track records when it comes to civilian deaths. And it's nasty and terrible and makes me sick to my stomach that so many innocent people are dying so the rich can get richer." This clip of Webb (Whitney Webb), author of One Nation Under Blackmail and contributing editor of unlimitedhangout(.)com, is taken from an interview with Jimmy Dore (Jimmy Dore) posted to Rumble on March 26, 2026. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- Dore: "Any, any, any comments on the World War III?" Webb: "Oh man, that's very open-ended. Yeah, I think this was clear at the end of Trump's first term, if not earlier than that, that this is where Trump was going to take it because the people he puts in charge, just like he did in his first term, are rebranded neocons. And they are going to try and wealth transfer through endless wars. "And if it's not just endless wars, it will be the downstream economic devastation that the destabilizing effect of this war will have on oil markets that will cause a lot of problems for the rest of us. But not like Trump, not for Trump and his billionaire friends or for the people that are insider trading the information on Polymarket, where insider trading is now legal. Or on Kalshi, where Don, you know, which is also a prediction market where people can bet on world events, and Don Jr. is on the board of that, I believe. "So, you know, it's basically plutocracy. And, unfortunately, the US and Israel have horrendous track records when it comes to civilian deaths. And it's nasty and terrible and makes me sick to my stomach that so many innocent people are dying so the rich can get richer. "I don't know what else to say about it except I would like to point out to people that Pete Hegseth is a clown, but he's not actually in charge. People should be looking at the Deputy Secretary of War who's actually running things because Pete Hegseth doesn't know— I mean he's obviously retarded. "So the person behind him is the person running things. And it's Steve Feinberg of Cerberus Capital Management, which the people on its board are a host of ex-spooks and former top neocon officials. And he used to own DynCorp and other major military contractors and is a very shady dude. He's also very good friends with Peter Thiel and that's why he gave the contract for the Golden Dome to Thiel-connected companies like Anduril who we talked about earlier being brought to Ohio and the Southern Air Transport Airport by Jobs Ohio. "But, you know, we need to pay attention to these people that are actually running stuff. I would like to see a lot more people talking about Steve Feinberg and his role in this war. It's, you know, instead of, you know, Pete Hegseth is a, is a Fox and Friends TV host. He's there to serve that function as the public face to, you know, Boomers that liked watching him on Fox News, hoping that they would trust him when he leads them into war with Iran and boots on the ground and, and whatever. "I mean, it's been crazy to see what's been going on with this war, because a lot of people like to paint it as incompetence, what the Trump administration has been doing in a communications sense. But really what they're doing is that they've turned the White House into a trading desk, and they're causing all of this volatility, because Trump can cause volatility in these markets just by tweeting something or putting something on Truth Social or saying anything. And the Iranians deny it because it's not happening, but he's just saying whatever to swing markets. And they're insider trading all of it."
