Jean-Luc Picard remains the single most compelling vision of progressive politics I am familiar with — secular, rational, compassionate, egalitarian; a believer in progress & abundance but also duty, hard work, and a constant battle for self-improvement and improving the world.

On the one hand, a PS5 Pro costs $2,000 now. On the other hand, everyone's going to lose thier job
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman thinks it's "terrible" for people to have RAM in their computers rather than in a data center, as the scarcity of memory caused by the AI boom continues to drive up costs. bit.ly/47LJ09d

This take is basically the same as "I don't hate Jews, I'm just opposed to people who consume children's blood". Your lies about the object of your obsessive hatred (the Jewish state) are part of the structure of your antisemitism
I fucking, fucking, FUCKING HATE writing about "antisemitism". I am so motherfucking SICK of it. I hate the word. I hate the rapey, gaslighting way all western institutions are constantly forcing this fake narrative down our throats that opposing genocide and apartheid and crazy wars means you secretly hate some random tiny religious group. Hate it, hate it, HATE it. But I have to keep writing about it, because if you let them control the narrative it just takes over and becomes the consensus reality. So essay after essay after motherfucking essay I find myself writing "Uh no actually it's not a hate crime to say you shouldn't drop military explosives on buildings full of children" like a fucking moron, over and over and over again. These freaks make me fucking sick. I hate the way they're constantly trying to stick their gross, rapey fingers into our minds and convince us we think things we don't think and feel things we don't feel. They never stop. They're like a cloud of gnats on a humid summer day constantly trying to fly into your nose, mouth and eyes. You swat them away and they're back an instant later, swarming, suffocating. Pieces of shit. Fucking disgusting, evil scumbags.

We mourn the passing of Patrick Stewart, who inspired countless individuals at NASA (and beyond) to boldly go where no one has gone before.

Harvard Professor: “But as an institution, UNRWA is not biased. The investigation has cleared UNRWA.” Hillel Neuer: “Which investigation? Who was cleared?” Harvard Professor: “Look, I don't want to engage in litigation of all the numbers and facts...”

Pretty much everyone in academics is taking the rest of the day off due to the Patrick Stewart news.

We lost one of the greats of stage and screen today. And, in my book, a tremendous friend and man. I learned so much from him. I will miss you, Patrick Stewart, all of my days. @mang0ld

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work. My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Patrick Stewart is a devastating loss. He was brilliant in TNG

It's been extremely unnerving and disturbing seeing antisemitism grow exponentially as a memetic disease in the last three years. It took six million dead for the West to recognise Jews as human and now the lease has expired.

melaniephillips.substack.com… Israel’s founding fathers chose proportional representation because it seemed the fairest way to deal with a society composed of so many different tribal groups. It’s resulted instead in instability, unaccountability and political paralysis. And for many today, it’s turned voting into a nail-biting leap into the dark. Such a chaotic electoral system would be bad for any country. For one at such a critical juncture in a war against genocidal foes, it seems akin to lunacy.

Below are two charts, one showing all the major conflicts going on in the world and the deaths accumulated by them in the month of September 2026. The second chart lists the media coverage/headlines and attention those deaths received. We now have real data to back up what many of us have been saying for months on this app. Look at Gaza/Palestine with 120 the “least amount of deaths” where supposedly a genocide is happening but with “the most coverage.” Nigeria had 451 deaths nearly 4 times that of Gaza but received ZERO HEADLINES and they receive $730 MILLION in American taxpayer dollars FY2025. Somalia had 194 deaths, 74 murders than Gaza and receives ZERO HEADLINES and they received $498 MILLION in American taxpayer dollars FY2025. Gaza receives way more headlines, coverage, and attention than Ukraine and they had 6202 deaths in September alone and it’s not considered a GENOCIDE. Nobody’s marching in the streets, protesting, and rioting around the world for Ukrainians. Ethiopia had the 4th largest deaths at 609 and coverage is AGAIN surpassed by Gaza and they received $920 MILLION in American taxpayer dollars in FY2025. None of people talking about Gaza care that the tax dollars are getting to extremists and funding their atrocities. And you wanna know why? Yes it’s antisemitism because it’s a conflict with Jewish people. But ALSO in the other countries it’s the Islamists who are doing the killings mainly, but in Gaza they’re being killed and are pissed about it and the world has to know and pay, as they cry victim.

As I predicted, Reform couldn't professionalise, peaked too soon, and once it's polling 3rd for long enough, a lot of Conservative-Reform switchers are going to want to come back and back the stronger horse, leading to a death spiral for Reform.

Although sometimes there are good/helpful peer reviews, often enough peer review is used to suppress dissenting or contrarian views. It's common to receive peer reviews that boil down to "I disagree with the author"

Bank of Israel horrified by Netanyahu’s interview yesterday, just put out a statement saying “cryptocurrencies cannot be used as a way of bypassing sanctions on Israel. The right thing to do is safeguard Israel’s trade relations with major trade partners and prevent sanctions”
Netanyahu asked in an in interview how he’s preparing Israel’s economy for sanctions says he’s working on a “diversionary economy” for Israel using cryptocurrencies. Either he’s lost all understanding about how the Israeli economy works or he’ll say anything on the campaign trail
