It feels like we must be living in the stupidest period in history if a guy like Curtis Yarvin is considered “an intellectual”

WHO AROUND HERE LEFT X and is never going back?

Well, I just found out something that will blow your mind. Spaces is coming to Blue Sky on TUESDAY... and it has nothing to do with X.

Who is in and wants the details? Comment below and I’ll make sure you don’t miss out.

Clark, regrettably a co-writer at my site years ago, thought Yarvin is brilliant.

I sure can pick ‘em.
I am dead. Seriously, the highlighted passage is one of the most witheringly hilarious things I've read in years.

Apparently Apple Maps now shows indigenous lands in Australia and New Zealand. I can’t pretend to understand the full context but this looks amazing! I wish we could have this for North America but clearly not in this political climate.

This is a sad but interesting question. How many grad students will leave and where, if anywhere will they go ?
Live here and am in grad school here. I have one class where 13 out of the 15 in it are leaving the state or country at end of semester.

That funding loss will really impact the summer where the population is half that so it’s about $2k per person.

The Smokehouse Creek Fire in Texas burned over 1M acres in 2024 under corrupt racist sadist Greg Abbott. It’s the largest wildfire in Texas history and burned across several counties.

MAGA never blamed him or called for him to resign. Yet they are blaming Governor Newsom? STFU.

Make no mistake, these "camps" that have just been offered up in Texas are internment camps, and we have seen this all before. Don't dismiss what is happening as hyperbole and don't look away. shero.substack.com/p/the-intern...
The Internment Camps Are Coming
A new offer from the Texas General Land Office has been made to incoming President Donald Trump, and it proves we are on the verge of reliving some of our darkest days in America.
