Voters tend not to turnout for midterms because historically the difference between the two parties has been functionally negligible--it's always been like choosing between Coke or Pepsi. This year it's like choosing between drinking a glass of Coke or a glass of Drano drain cleaner. Folks who don't stay up on politics simply are unaware that the Democrat Party has been absorbed by a Communist/Jihadist alliance bent on destroying the Constitution and the American way of life. You might not like Coca-Cola. But drinking Drano will end your life.

I think it is time for the French people to rise up (I feel weird typing this).

A thousand-year nuclear-armed civilization defeated by the word “racist."

Tens and tens of millions must be forced to leave our continent. Save Europe.

This!

For the love of g-d. Take a lesson from Israel. You cannot run a modern nation around fear that @Yusuf4Love2002 with 168 followers is going to call you a far-right genocidal fascist if you pick up a gun to save your society. It WILL do just that. Just ignore it, and fight back.

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver. Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître. Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France. La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

Ok this is funny in a sort of “the chickens have come home to roost” way. But seriously, the French people need to rise up and secure their nation against the red/green forces they are now facing since the French government seems incapable /unwilling to do so. That government needs to go too. I suggest that the next republic (if the French people win) should consider these actions to make France (and the French) great again: [1] adopt a more nationalistic French-based government model leaning on the Swiss federal republic model but with strong US-style 1A and 2A protection. [2] Exit the EU, the ICC and other international organizations that are against the interest of the French people. [3] Implement a version of the El Salvador model of ruthlessly targeting the bottom 1-2% of the worse of the worse afflicting France. [4] Implement a version the Argentina model of radical fiscal reform [5] Close the borders. Expel most Muslims (yes, including native born). End and reverse that ongoing invasion. France must be for the French. [6] Time to ruthlessly put down the communist revolutionary groups like black bloc, Antifa and the like and their supporters/financiers/logisticians. Treat them like the enemies they are. [7] Make more French babies. Aim for a minimum of four per female. Make France Great Again. Good luck.

So…flying cars are now a thing?

Блогер показал, что собеседование в 2026 году проходит уже без людей. Компания прислала на созвон ИИ-рекрутера, блогер в ответ подключил своего ИИ-агента и вышел из кадра. Нейросети ещё какое-то время обсуждали вакансию без людей. В конце обе зависли и начали бесконечно прощаться друг с другом.

Dear Secretary Bessent @SecScottBessent, My name is Everett Stern. In 2010 I was a compliance officer at @HSBC. From a back office in New Castle, Delaware, I watched billions of dollars move to drug cartels, sanctioned regimes, and terrorist organizations. The enemies of the United States. I documented it, I escalated it, and when the bank would not act, I took it to the @FBI, the @CIA, and eventually the @SECGov. The result was a $1.92 billion settlement. At the time, it was one of the largest in American history. It was also about five weeks of the bank’s profit. Not one banker was charged. Not one went to prison. I paid a different price. I lost my career, my savings, and my place in the industry I had trained for. I was blacklisted. Every door in American finance closed at once. I slept on a camping cot in a 300 square foot apartment because I could not afford a bed, and I waited tables at @PFChangs to eat. I tell you this not for sympathy, but so you understand that I know exactly what it costs to do the right thing in American finance, and exactly how little the system does in return. I made that sacrifice because I believed it would change something. Yesterday, your department fined @BankofAmerica $1.2 billion for failing to report more than $5 billion in suspicious transactions, some of it tied by your own findings to Chinese laundering networks, narcotics, and the southwest border, alongside 475 apparent sanctions violations touching Russia, Iran, and global terrorism. The bank admitted it willfully violated the Bank Secrecy Act. Fourteen years after HSBC. A bank with “America” in its name. And once again, not one individual charged. Secretary Bessent, I want to say plainly what I believe you already know. The fines are not working. A fine is paid by shareholders, absorbed by the balance sheet, and forgotten by the next earnings call. Bank of America reported earnings this morning. Nobody who set the alert thresholds, nobody who decided the 2024 cease and desist could wait, nobody who chose the backlog over the law will lose a single thing they value. Their lives are untouched. That is the entire reason the behavior repeats. This is money laundering. This is blood money. Money that reaches a cartel buys fentanyl that kills Americans. Money that reaches a terrorist organization buys the next attack. This country has fought a war on drugs and a war on terror for decades, at enormous cost in lives and treasure, and all the while we have allowed the financing to flow through institutions we charter and regulate. Cut off the money and we win. We have never seriously tried. There is also a question of equal justice that I cannot let go. Before I walked into the FBI building to report HSBC, I stopped in front of the Great Seal on the wall and read the words engraved beneath it: “Justice is the defense of our liberty.” I believed that. I still want to. But every day in this country, people go to prison for crimes that are nothing next to moving money for the people who want Americans dead. A suit, a title, and a corporate badge should not be a shield from the consequences that apply to everyone else. If a street dealer goes to prison for what he sells, the banker who moved the cartel’s money should be standing next to him. I also want to raise something that is rarely said in these conversations. Why has no one inside Bank of America come forward the way I did? The answer is that everyone in American banking knows what happened to me, and to the whistleblowers who came after. The last person who spoke up is the only policy anyone believes. That is a culture problem, and it starts with leadership, in the banks and in the agencies that regulate them. This is not a political issue. It has spanned administrations of both parties. It is a national security issue, and I am asking you to treat it as one. Three things would change the math overnight. Refer individuals for criminal prosecution. Not the analyst in the queue. The executives who set the thresholds and chose the risk. One banker in handcuffs would do more than every fine in Treasury’s history combined. End “too big to jail.” An institution cannot be too big to fail and too big to jail at the same time. If it is the first, it must be held to a higher standard, not a lower one. And if Bank of America will not act as America’s bank, review its charter. A national charter is a privilege granted on behalf of the American people. It should be conditioned on not moving money for the people trying to kill them. Secretary Bessent, you said yesterday that these actions send a clear message that even the biggest institutions are not above the law. With respect, the institution was never the problem. The people inside it are above the law, and they know it. Until that changes, I will keep writing letters like this one, and the next bank will keep paying the next fine. I gave up everything I had to stop this. I am asking you to use the power you have to finish it. Respectfully, Everett A. Stern HSBC Whistleblower Founder and Intelligence Director, Tactical Rabbit

On this day in 1893, Lillian Gish was born in Springfield, OH. I asked her if actors in silent films had a script with dialogue to memorize or if they were just given a general idea of what was being said in the scene and they ad-libbed the words. This was her remarkable reply:

Encore une fois, Elon Musk avait raison. Et les scientifiques vont se prendre une vraie blessure narcissique. Il y a deux mois, j'ai dîné avec un professeur de physique quantique à Normale Sup, l'une des meilleures écoles de France. Il se présente avec cette phrase : "Je suis le seul prof pas gauchiste dans un marécage de profs gauchistes décroissantistes." Ses collègues sont tous anti-IA. La raison ? Ça consomme de l'eau. Le mec est passionnant. On part très loin : l'espace, le temps, la conscience. Des discussions complètement perchées. Et à un moment, il me lâche : "Tu sais, depuis les années 70, aucun sujet vraiment sérieux en physique n'est financé." Je lui demande ce qui est financé, alors. "Des cathédrales théoriques. Magnifiques. Qui ne servent quasiment à rien." Je lui demande pourquoi. "Après tout ce qui s'est passé avec le nucléaire, le monde académique s'est imposé un principe de précaution. Il a peur de trouver des choses réellement profondes." Relisez cette phrase. La science a peur de trouver. C'est exactement ce que décrit François Chollet aujourd'hui : la théorie des cordes, c'est ce qui arrive quand une intelligence est coupée du réel. Elle hallucine. Elle construit des cathédrales. Elon a répondu avec un seul emoji : 🎯 Ce n'est pas un accident. C'est une capture. Je parle souvent de Gramsci. Son idée centrale : on ne prend pas le pouvoir par la force, on prend les institutions. Universités, médias, culture. Et une fois qu'on les tient, on décide de ce qui est pensable. La recherche n'y a pas échappé. On finance ce qui est publiable, consensuel, sans risque. On ne finance plus ce qui pourrait tout changer. C'est pour ça que beaucoup de gens en France pleurent en ce moment. Ils sentent que leur monde factice est en train de mourir. Ce monde où un titre suffisait. Où un statut remplaçait un résultat. Où l'on pouvait passer trente ans à écrire des papiers lus par douze personnes sans jamais se confronter au réel. Elon l'a dit sans filtre : une grande partie des PhD ne servent à rien. Et chez xAI, il a supprimé le titre de "chercheur". Il n'y a que des ingénieurs. Le message est limpide. On ne te paie pas pour chercher. On te paie pour trouver. La science va devoir retrouver son vrai but. Pas produire des papiers. Pas décrocher des grants. Pas briller en colloque. Comprendre le réel, et le plier. Et l'IA va accélérer tout ça brutalement. Quand l'intelligence devient abondante, elle n'est plus le goulot d'étranglement. Ce qui compte, c'est le courage de la confronter au monde physique, encore et encore. Alors physiciens, mathématiciens : il est temps de vous sortir les doigts du cul et de créer de la vraie valeur pour le monde. On veut l'antimatière. On veut l'antigravité. On veut le warp drive. On veut comprendre la conscience au niveau de l'infiniment petit. Les vrais sujets. Ceux qu'on a eu peur de toucher pendant cinquante ans. La science a été capturée. Elle va être libérée. Et ça va faire très mal à certains egos.

Oh no! That monster!

To all the Boomers bitching about Social Security: If you hadn’t advocated for the abortion of tens of millions of children, there would be a lot of people paying into the system. Just sayin’

I’m beginning to think the entire world has been scamming our economy

You know how I know my workday was too long/intense and that I spent too much time with my employers AI product today? As I was just finishing for this long day after my last of many technical sessions with the AI product we use at my employer, I told it “thank you and nighty night”.🤦‍♂️

Heard this today from a smart European: Europe has subcontracted security to America. Its economy to China. Energy to Russia and its labor force to the Islamists. This model now has completely collapsed.

This, not short term limits on elected official is a better way IMO. alohastatedaily.com/2026/09/…

Paying for Life Support for someone sentenced to die is the purest distillation of our judicial system I could possibly conceive.
