Here's the video for my song "Somebody Help Me Now"

Palantir were kind enough to sum up its hideous ideology in 22 points. And I have taken the liberty of annotating each one of them. Here is my interpretation of all 22 of them (preserving the original numbering - for the original see their tweet below): 1. Silicon Valley owes an immeasurable debt to the ruling class who bailed out the criminal bankers that wrecked the livelihood of the majority of Americans. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley will defend that ruling class to the death (literally!), in the name of the majority of Americans whom they treat with contempt – i.e., like cattle that have lost their market value. 2. Palantir is eyeing the Apple Store, salivating over the prospect of creating its own technofeudal estate. Time to replace the iPhone with another device that dissolves what is left of people’s privacy. 3. Palantir shall give nothing away for free. It cares uniquely over its own growth which it pursues by sowing fear so that it can sell a fake sense of security. 4. Glory to brute force! Ethics is for suckers. The West needs more of Palantir’s murderous software. 5. AI-powered killer robots are coming. The task is to profit magnificently by building killer robots first and ask questions later. To be able to do so, Palantir will do whatever it takes to avoid at all cost any international treaties that limit AI-driven killer robots. 6. Every poor sod (lacking the connections to avoid being thrown into the trenches with killer drones targeting them from the sky) must be drafted into the army. Forget paying soldiers a salary. All payments should be directed to Palantir, where our own people will be serving their ‘national service’ – leaving the dying to non-shareholders. 7. Palantir works overtime to equip US Marines with killer bots that take away from the US Marines whatever remnants of ethical judgment they are left with on the battlefield. American society should be rendered perfectly incapable of any debate that restricts Palantir’s capacity to get the US Military to eliminate any remaining opportunity to reject its software’s choice of targets. 8. Palantir deplores the fact that the public sector is still not totally devoid of a conscience. Public servants must be fired en masse, except some very few approved by Palantir who will receive huge salaries, paid by taxpayers. 9. Palantir thinks that Donald Trump must be beatified for throwing himself into public service. Not forgiving folks like Trump everything risks our soul, not to mention that it raises the prospect of officials that restrict Palantir’s evil project. 10. Politics needs to be AI-like, devoid of anything that can be mistaken for human empathy. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self must be sent to the gulag forthwith! 11. There are some people too eager to hasten Palantir’s demise. They should rethink, or else! 12. Palantir makes no nuclear weapons but is happily developing other weapons of mass destruction. We proudly announce that we are now ready to add to nuclear Armageddon the AI-driven threat to humanity’s existence. 13. No other country in the history of the world has committed so many war crimes in the name of progress and freedom. The United States offers infinite freedom to people like Palantir’s founders to profit so handsomely by inflicting so much damage upon humanity. 14. American power has feasted on causing one war after another, one putsch after another, one avoidable financial disaster after another. Too many have forgotten or perhaps have taken for granted America’s capacity to pursue forever wars in the name of peace and democracy. 15. German and Japanese Fascism must be made great again. The denazification of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly misplaced commitment to Japanese pacifism must also end immediately! 16. We should applaud those who attempt to monopolise everything by means of generous government contracts. Billionaires must not be satisfied merely with their billions. To become even more obscenely rich they need grand narratives that help them convince the poor to use their freedom to keep them, the billionaires, in power. And, by the way, Palantir loves Elon, especially his grand apartheid-inspired narrative. 17. Silicon Valley must be free to do in America’s cities what it did in Gaza. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it came to granting Palantir the right to annihilate all remaining civil liberties and human rights. This must end. 18. Epstein’s syndicate should be forgotten lest lovely people like Trump and the Clintons are deterred from entering government. The public arena must be scrutiny-free unless subversives like Sanders or Mamdani enter it. 19. We love banal public figures as long as they give Palantir all the juicy contracts. We also love colourful public figures who give Palantir all the juicy contracts. 20. We need more opium for the masses, as they are not sufficiently inebriated for us to be unimpeded in the pursuit of their complete subjugation. Questioning organised superstition is dangerous and must end. 21. Time to bring back Hitler’s hierarchy of races, with Palantir’s founders and Elon at its Aryan pinnacle. The idea that it is wrong to judge someone by the colour of their skin or their ethnicity or their religion must be jettisoned. 22. Blacks, Muslims, most Asians, and of course women, are inferior untermensch. Blokes in America, and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted putting these subhumans in their places in the name of inclusivity. It was a mistake. Such subhumans must never be allowed in, except as servants or sex service providers – at least until we can improve our robots, in which case we won’t need them at all.

@chrisglover Ford's fuckery is an attempt to ruin our education system. Everything he does, he waters down.

The TDSB is the 3rd largest school board in North America. Currently 25 Trustees making $25,000/yr oversee: -370,000 students -40,000 staff -600 schools -a $4.1 Billion budget Ford is cutting down to 12 Trustees and cutting their pay to $10,000/yr Ford's biggest criticism of trustees—they weren't making cuts fast enough to make up for provincial funding shortfalls. So he is also appointing a CEO who will make the cuts faster. #ONpoli #OntEd torontotoday.ca/local/educatio…

@Mylovanov Vance is full of shit.

Vance: When the Pope says God is never on the side of those who wield the sword, he ignores over a thousand years of just war theory. You can debate specific wars, but the Pope should be careful when speaking on theology. 1/

46 years ago today Terry Fox started his Marathon of Hope in St John’s, Newfoundland on April 12, 1980. Through his legacy, Terry Fox has raised over $1 billion for cancer research.

@ToddJMcCarthy That may be so Todd, but you lot will ruin it all by privatizing OUR public water to special interests. Those people only care about profit and their shareholders. You are willing to betray the people of this province to enrich the few. Look at the UK's water supply.

Ontario’s drinking water is among the safest in the world - protected by strong standards, regular testing, and rigorous oversight. We will continue to ensure Ontario’s drinking water is always held to high safety standards.

Warehouses burnt down, a Molotov thrown at Sam Altman’s house, a politicians home shot at because they supported a data center — a spree of attacks on the ruling class appears to have begun. Every attacker will now be deemed a terrorist by our government and by the entire ruling class. That’s inevitable. But what the ruling class desperately doesn’t want you to know is that they made this moment inevitable. Their greed has made so many people so destitute and desperate that people across America resorting to lashing out was bound to happen. What the rich and powerful don’t want is for you to look at the underlying causes of these acts. jphilll.com/theres-a-wave-…

@ECOWARRIORSS Machines can destroy faster than nature's growth cycle - we are in deep trouble.

Ireland’s native trees and hedgerows are vanishing, with native tree cover down to less than 1% and rapidly disappearing —the lowest in Europe. Roughly 3,000 km of hedgerows are destroyed annually, driven by agricultural expansion and weak protections fionnferreira.substack.com/p/chainsaws-in…

@Roman_Baber @MarkJCarney False equivalencies, and we know you are full of shit Roman.

Over 25% of Canadians can't afford food. But "on a flight from Ottawa to Washington [Mark Carney] spent 11 times more on in-flight meals than what the RCAF spent on fuel." @MarkJCarney is the modern-day version of Louis XIV. torontosun.com/news/national/…

@roulinski There was a gov't petition circulating about this issue, don't know if it's still active to sign.

Media concentration is a justice issue. When an American hedge fund controls 90% of Canada’s daily papers, local voices are silenced for corporate agendas. Postmedia isn't just reporting news—they’re manufacturing the message. It’s time to demand transparency and local ownership

No clue, zero respect. These idiots must be shut down. Eco-terrorists should all be jailed.

@briangarrett @Montreal @Toronto Toronto has an interesting music scene, lots of great stuff incubating here.

I’ve spent about a week in Canada it’s my fist time visiting the country so I wanted to see Montreal Quebec and Toronto Ontario they’re completely different but both very cool and unique in their our ways I’d suggest any other Americans thinking about a trip to come visit both 👌

@AndrewLawton @PierrePoilievre Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

We need to make Canada the strongest, freest, and most prosperous country on earth. A Conservative government led by @pierrepoilievre will do that.

@jtaylorband Congrats!

Last night was magical. I was lucky enough to take home the award for Contemporary Singer of the Year at the 2026 Canadian Folk Music Awards. Thank you so much for this prestigious honour.

China’s SUVs all have TVs, refrigerators, freezers, chair massagers, and now they can charge in 9 min and have range extenders. All for in the $20k range. We are being so played by the oil and auto industries. Bubbles about to be bursting all over this country.

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

@SenMikeLee There are some really smart Americans. You are not one of them.

Our withdrawal from NATO would be long overdue. NATO has run its course. The threats that existed at its inception are no longer relevant 76 years later. Europe has been leaning on American taxpayers for their security for decades, offering too little in return. That’s why I introduced the Not A Trusted Organization (NATO) Act last year, and why President Trump is right to question American membership today.

my Dad said , "Forcing the Artemis crew to speak with Donald Trump was part of a NASA training exercise to prepare future astronauts for encounters with less intelligent life forms.." i couldn't agree more....

@NoLieWithBTC A sad day for the country, a madman who knows only how to abuse, terrorize and enable destruction against his own people and country.

Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service. All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.

@nenshi Musk can fuck right off and keep going.

I’m ready to fight like hell for this country, and against anyone trying to tear it apart. The richest man in the world wants Canada to become the 51st state and is now amplifying Alberta separatism. So let’s ask the question: Who is funding this movement? Albertans deserve to know.

Whoever is behind this—wow. They are actually a genius.
