2026/28 is about millennials gaining old-man strength and putting zoomer posers in their place, and you're hearing it more and more
I remember watching Jake Paul fight Tyson immediately after the election in 2024 and thinking an inability to laugh Paul out of the ring was a great example of the rot in America that led to Trump coming back, it was good to see Anthony Joshua do that. It felt like the culture starting to shift back

The comments / quote posts tell me that hardly anyone read the article. He was Native Hawaiian and he killed himself last year.
The thing that stunned me when I first heard about this — he’s my fmr classmate’s dad, & I had no idea that these 8a contracts were the source of their wealth.

NEW: Christopher Dawson won hundreds of millions in federal contracts, promising to help Native Hawaiians.
Documents suggest he pocketed the profits to invest in a beachfront horse farm and luxury homes.

He Spent Funds Meant for Native Hawaiians on Polo and Porsches. The Federal Government Failed to Stop Him.
A small business program allowed Christopher Dawson to win big contracts if he promised to uplift Native Hawaiians. Instead, federal prosecutors allege, he used the money to line his own pockets.

After the war, Hopper worked for the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation and developed the A-0 compiler, which translated mathematical code into machine code. She devised the theory that programming languages should use English commands and developed FLOW-MATIC, which later became COBOL. /4

AI can't look at its own earlier work and think, "No one must see this. It must be destroyed." It doesn't have any poetry that it wrote when it was twelve.
AI has no shame, and so it can never feel pride, and never earn glory.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

I asked SouthCom why it used a Jerusalem Cross in a post about an operation in which the Trump admin has killed at least 87 people in Caribbean/Pacific missile strikes.
“There is no other communication intent for this image” except showing soldiers “in a ready posture,” Col. Emanuel Ortiz told me.

You have to send *a lot* of someones to jail; basically the entire chain of command that was aware of what was happening, from Hegseth to the dude who pressed the button.
jfc, yeah you gotta send someone to jail for this. the thing that separates a military from a large gang is that you don't do shit like this.
NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.
The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.

“I served this country for (x) amount of years and I believed the operations conducted in my command were illegal, when I stated that to the secretary, he asked me to retire, presumably to continue the operations I believed were illegal, I refused, and he fired me”
I’m not asking these guys to be partisan liberal cucks, just to actually read the political terrain and Clausewitz who stated that “No major proposal required for war can be worked out in ignorance of political factors”

Would go a bit further and insist on retro-actively removing the masks. Names, faces, where they were deployed, on some kind of accessible public record.
It is vitally important that if this ever happens again, people understand that the masks they put on only temporarily conceal their faces.

Absolutely critical than when all these new ICE hires are terminated with no questions asked by the next admin that they not be re-hired wherever they came from. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
“We’re broken and we’re being poached by ICE,” one official with the prison workers union told ProPublica. “It’s unbelievable. People are leaving in droves.”

a few candidates have talked about this but any Dem planning to run in 2028 should make it explicit: the next DOJ will, in fact, go after you if you’re funding this awful ballroom, or any other pay to play deals you make with this administration
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.
