  1. #Thiel's contempt for all is obvious all over the place including his face. I have met a lot of smart people. A bunch of them. Whatever. The #small #minded can turn #genius into #pettiness. What can you do? Put them in cages when they try to kill you. #Subpeona #Palantir and #Thiel goes to prison.

  3. Seth Meyers: "Trump wanted to take the opportunity, about 12 hrs after Rob Reiner was murdered, to go on social media and post his thoughts about it. Trump took the time to accuse Rob of having Trump Derangement Syndrome. There is nothing more deranged than seeing Trump's supporters try to defend what Trump said about Rob Reiner. What a good time this would be to have a leader who has a moral compass."

  7. The man who is the secretary of state told diplomats they must stop using Calibri and return to Times New Roman for all official communications. His predecessor Antony Blinken had switched to Calibri in 2023 because it’s easier to read, especially for those with certain vision disabilities, and because it’s the default font for Microsoft products. am-quickie.ghost.io/r/826dbd96

  12. "Hegseth Is Purging Military Leaders With Little Explanation"

    The Trump Administration is ideologically purging all branches of government in ways that the USA may never recover from.

    This is "End of Empire" behavior.

  21. A quotation from Nicolas Chamfort

    Preoccupation with money is the great test of small natures, but only a small test of great ones; there may be a wide gulf between a man who despises money and a genuinely honest man.
     
    [L’intérêt d’argent est la grande épreuve des petits caractères; mais ce n’est encore que la plus petite pour les caractères distingués; et il y a loin de l’homme qui méprise l’argent, à celui qui est véritablement honnête.]

    Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
    Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 2, ¶ 164 (1795) [tr. Mathers (1926)]
