    90s were such a fruitful time for art, really.

    Everything happening I’ve seen predicted in Star Wars EU, they are literally building the Empire the way it existed there (not this particular article, but the whole moment of history around us).

    But somehow I don’t feel too happy about owning trekkies.

    If they don’t comply, the Dems are going to SLAM and BLAST them with slightly strong language, but no swearing allowed and no actions.

        Is your state Open Primary? Because otherwise you can’t vote in the democratic primary, which mean that, in-turn, you can’t vote to fix the terrible candidates that the dems have been nominating.

        And even in an Open Primary state, I think you have to specifically request the democratic primary ballot, which means there will be a record of that request.

      Palantir has more data on more people in the world likely than any other corporation, and Peter Thiel is trying to wield it to collapse global democracy, so yes

      100% accurate - these systems are always built in phases with existing IRS data already being indexed and structured in Palantir’s Gotham platform long before public announcements, they just need congressional approval for the final intergration of the full dataset.

      Of all the red lines we’ve crossed so far, this one almost feels like small beans. The standard has gotten very out of whack in a very short time.

      Should it be? Yep, along with countless other things people have just let go.

      However if folks don’t wake the fuck up soon it really won’t matter.

      And yes, I know about the “No Kings” rallies and 3.5% and all that - just ping me when there are actual CHANGES resulting from it.

    This is an awfully “big government” move from the small government crowd.
