“just happens to be a nation that doesn’t respect the difference between church and state—which oh by the way is a fundamental requirement of democracy” 7:44 — after he tries to stump that israel is a “healthy” democracy and “the problem” is netanyahu. go back to other leaders: genocide was always at the heart of this project. fact that all these podcasting #propsters going round & round, including that chatham fail which outed tim pool who now lost all cred—israel not netanyahu lost the plot, lost the “narrative” and will not recover it even by ousting netanyahu/mileikowsky—this podcast campaign blitz is actually hurting them even more not helping! 🛑

to summarize today’s thread: when silicon valley thoughtbots say “it’s not about the idea, it’s all about the execution” they mean execute as in: destroy, eliminating the core of the idea, not bringing into fruition.

they repeat this trope ad infinitum in the valley—this “all about the execution not the idea” in order to graft ideas onto easily controllable “executioners” instead of the true innovators. whoever this volker is had no receipts! just tried to attack me personally instead of responding: i gave a famous enough example for goodness sakes. ✌️ ☺️

what? who? why? what is the point of these two literal tech bros—cap ai development in the U.S. so other countries outpace, like China that they seem to want to warn about? or they want to make sure only guys with nukes get the best & latest not the public? i just read this time article on them & saw this clip. not impressed. nothing to see here! even the comments are just “have you ever beeeen?”

So…Galina is a Russian name. The guy’s mother’s last name is Gallina. I had a professor of Russian cinema whose last name was Galina. The guy is most likely ethnically Russian. Not some “radicalization” story.

this is like an epic masterpiece shot on cinemascope with no visuals: i see fellini’s roma. ouch—so good it hurts.

not that i am a fed fan but powell is right on rates & t-dawg completely wrong—that is actually what created the great depression & why it was worse in the U.S. than Canada. i already posted the b. bernanke speech acknowledging this interpretation.

“I accuse you of the assassination of William Lyons Selby, and assuming his identity for the purposes of overthrowing the United States government.”

so symbolic coptic easter & constantine overlapped this past weekend. sayonara.

do not follow this channel only posting b/c i think it is true—i watched a clip of norman finkelstein on jimmy dore and was just like, this is straight bs: ‘hardly any israeli soldier casualties, gaza is gone’ etc—total propaganda. i did not watch that rogan theatre with a comedian i’ve never heard of vs. a milquetoast brit i’ve also never heard of b/c it was obviously setup as a theatrical good guy/bad guy show b/c the backlash is real and a legitimate cause for concern. anyhoo—looks like orban/hungary is taking in israelis. europe wants/needs more caucasians, right? worried about color parity & all that, so this is a win/win. honestly my suggestion for a carve out between ukraine & russia there is probably workable — let’s get these crays crays to calm down. can’t smuggle stuff thru israel forever!
