Not really going to get in on the politics here but the conversation between @volts.wtf and CF's Jan Sramek was fascinating. Sramek is planning something very different than what you'd think based on "tech utopia" and "backed by Marc Andreessen", both of which are very bad things.

Is the brand new city in California for real?

Jan Sramek joins me to discuss the controversy, funding, and master plan behind the massive California Forever project.

I mentioned it elsewhere, but I remember going to Target in the first week of lockdown and nearly having a panic attack when a couple of people passed within six feet of me in the checkout line. Is that feeling, that fear of others, still lodged somewhere in the back of my brain? 🤷‍♂️

do you think a single woman who has ever accused a prominent man of sexual assault has had it improve their lives? it is a tremendously brave action precisely because coming forward usually ruins your life instead go fuck yourselves

i think this is a more interesting version of the question, or at least less likely to devolve into an argument about will coin flip an easy call imo

You are stranded on a desert island, completely out of water and no idea when you will be rescued. You can have 10 gallons of water or flip a coin for a chance at 10,000 gallons of water. What do you choose?

Think. About. This. The U.S. Treasury receives the revenue from most of Venezuela’s exports, then disburses it gradually to Venezuela through the country’s private banks…. Mr. Rubio and his team set the conditions on what that money can be spent on, and by whom. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/u...

"Dirtbagism essentially authorizes any kind of dishonesty or cruelty if it’s deployed by people on the left. Proper progressive positions are presumed to be a pre-justification for bad behavior." This is essentially the philosophy of Carl Schmitt, "crown jurist of the Third Reich."

And PAGER is up. Very likely more than 1,000 dead from this earthquake and likely in the 10,000 range. Damage estimates in the $10+ billion range, 2% to 20% of Venezuela's GDP. Shit.

Amazing. At age 20, Lionel Messi did a UNICEF Barcelona photo shoot for a calendar, of him giving a baby a bath. That baby was Lamine Yamal. It’s his first World Cup, and Messi’s last. They’ll play against each other. What a crazy story.

Zuckerberg is such disgusting toadie for Trump that he had his CHILD write a suck up letter www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

Trump is cheering on a bad deal to end a war with Iran he should have NEVER started. American servicemembers killed and injured. Thousands of civilians killed. Billions of taxpayer dollars lit on fire. All for a worse deal than what Obama negotiated without dropping a single bomb.
