I’m deleting Palantir, I think. I want Peter Thiel and his toxic ideology gone, and deleting Palantir’s data and software would meaningfully set back the timeline of unlawful surveillance of the American public by our current administration.
I feel like he got enough for it to be a huge bombshell report.
While malicious compliance is definitely the optimal strategy, undermining the “legitimacy” of DOGE is also a decent strategy to take. It’s great news that Elon’s recent email gambit was (generally) a failure and he’s now trying to pretend it was just a joke.

I’ve got the Pokemon Quartz pokedex. It’s pretty cursed.

It’s still true that a deflationary economy would be a mess though. If we had deflation, the rich wouldn’t even bother investing and would literally just sit on a pile of gold like Smaug. I know trickle-down doesn’t work but an economy where nothing circulates would be hellish.
Yep! It’s free real estate.
Thank goodness that last pic is edited, the bird didn’t fall did it? (not ironic, I got worried about the bird and want a happy ending here)
