Found this on Stupidpol Reddit:




In any given country with a very strong religious culture and extreme certainty about its values, traditions and beliefs, there will usually be some small group of people who live entirely off social media and Western liberal thought.


In this case the mural was painted by something called Artlords, set up by Omaid Sharifi, a British Council staff member, Atlantic Council fellow, and holder of a (Donald) Rumsfeld fellowship.


So essentially these are people paid large amounts of money in local terms to express the values of the West in those countries. They will enjoy the patronage of Western media, and we won't really hear the authentic beliefs of the local population, who, typically, hold extreme far-right social views by Western standards but this is obfuscated by using these convenient brown people who the actual residents of the country have never heard of and don't agree with on any matter at all.


The Artlords stuff got lots of fawning coverage from Western liberals, but the fact that it has a George Floyd mural tells you how inauthentic it is.


Sharifi of course is safely in Dubai having fled the country asap

The military was literally running war games about how they were going to “pacify” troublesome towns in middle America. The only “conspiracy” part about the Jade Helm conspiracy theory was whether Obama was actually planning on using the many many contingency plans that had been drawn up to turn the Midwest into one giant Chechnya, not whether those plans had been made.




Where is a good place to read about these war games? Are these contingency plans documented somewhere?

I preordered an Analogue 3D N64 FPGA (already have the X7 Everdrive).


https://www.analogue.co/3d


I also preordered a bespoke PCB for retro DOS/9x games called the Llama ITX.


https://old.reddit.com/r/thisweekinretro/comments/1fbt7w9/itx_llama_a_brand_new_pc_for_1990s_dos_games/


But I’ve actually been playing remasters of retro games - namely Warcraft 3 and StarCraft lately.

I’ve only seen one or two examples of this on X, but nothing to indicate it is as rampant as posts are suggesting, whereare people getting the sense of this?

Do other trashy residents of the finger lakes region identify with them? It seems the Iroquois may have, but I’m unsure how they conceptualized it. I’ve heard of Americans being proud of cities, counties, states, but not this broad yet particular geographical grouping. Do finger lakes people feel a rooted kinship like, maybe, those of Appalachia?

Why did Hunter Biden have a tattoo of Finger Lakes on his back? Is it really a nexus of missing children reports? Is it true that “Leylines” cross over them? What are those? Does Hunter know this?

In a U.S. context protections on medical debt prevent middle class people from getting dragged by hitting defect.




Do you mean they won’t hit defect because of those protections?

There was some murmuring of Elon, who is the #1 global Diablo 4 player, starting some publisher for gaming. (Edit: it happened https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1861801046949191686)


Gaming studios seem to need ESG dollars which come with strings attached like requiring narrative review by DEI SweetBabyInc-like consultants.


Ubisoft and others are on a run with bomb-after-bomb releases underperforming massively. Real financial losses.


It may just be a matter of time has the market adjusts post-election.

For the first step of coining a term and pushing its use - I think one recent invention was by Tucker Carlson who, after being rebuked by the corporate team of Zyn, called them a “Pronoun Company” (even though trans was not at issue) and started his own competing product line. Pronoun Company might not gain traction but it is succinct and brings to mind a host of HR/DEI pathologies that infect organizations.


Should we ask Grok to coin some for awards ceremonies?

I want to know if he can feasibly be forced in. Senate Republicans don’t seem keen on confirming him, and I hear there are some constitutional powers (should have written this down) Trump can leverage to force recess appointments - will he do it? Why didn’t he do it last time?

Something seems to be going on, not just between men and women, but just as importantly, women and their mothers.




A phenomenon I didn’t even know existed. Where can we learn more?
