Silicon Valley has become a cancer on the world. There are too many companies run by greedy, unhinged psychopaths who do not care how their products and services affect the world. It’s not just Thiel’s companies. It’s Meta and Google and Apple and Amazon and Uber and OpenAI.

The only thing Silicon Valley is missing is a series of volcano lairs for their founders and CEOs.

Carlson also spent last week ranting about how the “civic religion” of elites is Israelism (whatever the hell that means). And he backed up that conclusion with the old “If you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you are not allowed to criticize”, which is a quote from a Neo Nazi.

He’s a bad actor who launders white nationalist talking points. He goes where he thinks his audience wants him to go. Don’t give him credit for finally changing his rhetoric against Trump. It won’t last.

There are like 50k people who looked at the Cybertruck and thought: “I want to spend $100k on that!”

We shouldn’t be judging the past here.

I had an old BMW. I park in the back of retail parking lots because I don’t see the point in circling lots to find a space that is 40ft closer and you can pull through the spaces. Lots of times I would come out of the store and another BMW would be parked next to mine, like there was some automotive kinship or something. There would be five open spaces, some guy and my car. It was always weird.

Streaming services are the best thing to ever happen to music from a consumer standpoint. You get access to a library of more music than you could listen to in a lifetime, and you’re not dependent on industry gatekeepers like in the days of radio and MTV. You don’t have to shell out money and hope you like more than two songs on the album. Because of that, I’m more adventurous with music than I’ve ever been.

My conspiracy theory is that they intentionally made the internet search engines awful to force us to use AI.
