I interviewed Australian mining billionaire Clive Palmer on his once-more-revived plan to build Titanic II, a functional and historically accurate replica of the original ship. He now says it will be a “vaccine-free environment.”
Billionaire Says His Long-Delayed ‘Titanic II’ Ship Will Be Antidote to ‘Woke’ Politics
Australian mining billionaire Clive Palmer has been trying to build 'Titanic II' for 12 years — but construction still hasn't started

the private equity acquisition process where they take out huge loans to buy a company, put those loans on the company’s balance sheet and liquidate the company to pay them off (while looting the assets) should be made illegal

it is a purely destructive process and it’s absurd that we allow it

Just got a news alert saying Joann Fabrics is going into bankruptcy due to decreasing demand.

Article fails to say that it was purchased by a private equity firm a while ago and recently went public and is carrying $2.4 billion in debt.

Private equity strikes again.

Thought the Gaza airdrop aid was a ridiculous publicity stunt but I at least assumed they could accomplish it without killing anyone

An aggressive man is accosting a nervous looking man. The aggressive man, only visible from the head up says "you wanna fuck with me? I am in a gang, motherfucker. We pull back to reveal that the aggressive man is in a Pokemon first gen team rocket costume. HIs midriff is exposed like Jesse in the anime. He retains an expresion of aggression.

Kazan was—sweet Christ—Kazan was a mewling syphilitic with the morals of a cat. He—“Carolina” reaper? North or South? No, don’t tell me. Leave me in suspense. He’d have fucked his mother if there’d been a fifty-cent piece in it for him. Mm. Oh yes a napkin is jut the thing.

“Capitalism isn’t that bad” But if you earned 30,000 a day from the time Jesus was born till now it still wouldn’t equal shell’s earnings this year

Nerds are the ones who warned you about cryptocurrency, and NFTs, and the internet of things. Nerds are the ones trying to explain to you that "AI" is just overhyped pattern recognition which we already had for years.

Techbros are not nerds. They're predators.
“techbro” is just the reemergence of thinking it’s cool to hate nerds, mixed in with a bunch of resentment from watching the last 20 years of nerds taking over the world

Palestinian Abdalhadi Alijla responds:
1. I was tear-gassed at school when I was 6 years old(the whole school). 2. My first classmate was killed when I was 8. 3. My neighbor was assassinated when I was 9. (I cried that day.) 4. Around 20 soldiers stormed our neighborhood and wanted to arrest me and my little brother for interrogation (I was 7 and my brother was 4). 5. They stormed our home more than 8 times (I can recount them to you as if they happened this morning). 6. They arrested my father and made me put my hands on a wall when I was 7. (It was at the Shejaia entrance, and I still remember my white sneakers.) 7. They shot at us while we were playing on December 22, 1992 (I was turning 8. I remember because it was my birthday). 8. They arrested my oldest brother when I was 5 years old. 9. I was forced to shower in cold water or very hot water because Israelis used a mechanical stone-thrower that broke all windows and solar panels (which we used to warm water) - that's why I hated showering for some time.

Did you know Matt Berry, of What We Do in the Shadows, has a prog rock about badgers where he does spoken word poetry about their ways?

You need to listen to it.

It is deeply fucked up to act like fascism is not ascendent in the US. Brownshirts are beating people on national television, the president runs border concentration camps and wants to mass deport. We are IN IT. Stop strategizing ten steps behind the state of the world as it is.

Sorry I can’t work today, I’m obsessed with a Facebook page for an Indian restaurant in Australia and their increasingly unhinged memes.

A pediatrician’s two weeks inside a hospital in Gaza www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...
And if I could offer an example around how that manifests: a seven-year-old had deep lacerations to his leg and needed some suturing. It wasn’t a life or death case—it was very simple—but the only pain relief we had was Motrin, which was frankly cruel, and a cruel undertaking. There was no ketamine. And so I tried to use one of my pediatric tools as a distraction. And so I had a light flasher, but he wasn’t interested in any of those designs that I put on the wall. So I tried to distract him from the pain. Usually what I would do is ask questions like, “So who’s your best friend?” I can’t ask that because what if his best friend’s dead? “What’s your favorite subject at school?” He hasn’t been to school in three months. “What’s your favorite food?” I don’t know when the last time he ate would be. Every single facet of their society has been ripped apart. ♦
