Why is there suddenly so much love between Japan and Middle America?
It's very simple. Both nations have been inundated, both in person and online, with despicable creeps from the third world, and told by our treacherous political class that if we didn't like it, we were just uncultured, xenophobic bigots.
Then someone changed a few lines of code, and put Kentucky and Kantō in the same room.
And suddenly, we were both staring across that room at people who were totally alien to us, but at the same time totally civilized, decent, and admirable. And we liked what we saw.
And there was the evidence that it was all a damned dirty lie.
We don't hate other cultures just being other cultures.
We hate despicable creeps for ruining our nice cultures by being despicable creeps.
And it's not our fault that certain cultures are mostly made up of despicable creeps. We didn't decide it was that way. We just... noticed.
And we couldn't pretend it wasn't happening, or that it was okay, because if you do that, you're surrounded by despicable creeps every day.
So now Japanese twitter and Middle America twitter are somewhat giddy with relief. Here are other cultures we can share and enjoy things with, instead having to try to police their bad behavior while the left and the controlled-opposition right both try to stop us and make infinity excuses for despicable creeps.
This is why we want to be able to blacklist some countries from our twitter experience, and whitelist others.
We don't want to see third world monetization grinders trying to ragebait us like the despicable creeps they are.
We do want to see Japanese people getting obsessive about their hobbies in their own, unique Japanese fashion.
Because some cultures get along, and others don't.

🇯🇵🇺🇸 Yes, there is a whole subculture in our country dedicated to the Southern United States (especially Texas). I'm glad people people abroad can appreciate it too!

10 million wire grill brushers were just recalled. (3 million were recalled last month).
I did not anticipate this when we made the Smarter Scrubber to address the problem.
We just caught up on production. If you'd like a chain mail grill scrubber that's made in America check out

The most densely populated place in human history ran for decades without a single government official, police officer, or bureaucrat—and it worked better than most state-run cities.
Kowloon Walled City crammed 33,000 residents into 6.4 acres between 1950-1994. Zero zoning laws. Zero building codes. Zero municipal services. Just pure market forces and voluntary association. You had 14-story buildings constructed without architects or permits, yet structural collapses were virtually nonexistent. Residents organized their own utilities, waste management, and security through spontaneous order. Dentists operated next to noodle shops, schools functioned above factories, and rooftop communities thrived in spaces government planners never would have imagined.
Crime? Lower than surrounding Hong Kong districts with full police presence. Disputes got resolved through community mediation and reputation systems—no courts needed. Small businesses flourished in every conceivable niche because nobody had to navigate licensing bureaucracies or pay regulatory tribute. A fishball vendor could start operating tomorrow if customers wanted fishballs. Period.
But here's what really drives statists insane: this "slum" (their word, not mine) had 99% employment rates while government housing projects struggled with joblessness and social decay. Families stayed together. Kids got educated. Entrepreneurs created wealth from nothing. All without a single five-year plan or urban development committee.
The state eventually demolished this miracle of spontaneous order in 1994, replacing 33,000 productive lives with a sterile government park. They called it "urban renewal" while destroying the most successful example of anarcho-capitalism in modern history. Every time you hear politicians promise to fix housing shortages or create jobs, remember they already bulldozed the solution.

There is a species of ant that approaches the edge of another colony, kills a single worker, and then takes on the dead ant’s scent.
For ants, scent is everything. Wearing that scent, the intruder walks in with no resistance. The workers pass by without concern.
The intruder moves inward, toward the queen, then It sprays the queen with a different scent that makes the workers turn on her. Then they surround her and kill her.
The intruder does not need to fight anyone. The colony does the work itself.
Once the queen is gone, the intruder reproduces. The true invader is no longer an intruder. It is the future.
This is how ideological takeover works.
A destructive foreign ideology takes the scent of familiar ideas and walks in as if it belongs.
It speaks the native vocabulary, justice, equality, compassion, rights, progress. It uses these words and quietly changes what they point to.
Then it moves inward.
It alters how foundations are perceived. Responsibility is made to smell like cruelty, law like oppression, borders like hatred, tradition like danger, history like guilt.
At that point, the civilization turns on itself.
Its courts, universities, churches, media, and bureaucracies begin treating their own foundations as threats. They believe they are defending the system.
They are enforcing what now smells legitimate. They do not see the intruder because it sounds exactly like them.
And when the founding principles are finally removed, discredited, dismantled, erased, the foreign ideology does not need to conquer anything. It inherits what is left.
The queen is gone. The colony is no longer itself.
The most effective conquest is the one that convinces a society that its own foundations are the enemy, and that killing them is an act of virtue.

Many Westerners, caught hopelessly in the clutches of Boomer Liberalism, believe that all their ancestors were cruel bigots.
But their ancestors were simply willing to be mean to a small amount of the worst people because this is the price of a nice civilization for the rest.

🚨🇺🇸 DAVID SACKS COMPLETES HIS 130 DAYS AS TRUMP'S AI AND CRYPTO CZAR
Sacks used up his full allocation as a special government employee and is now moving to co-chair the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
In just over four months, Sacks helped shape Trump's AI framework, pushed for easier permitting and power generation for tech companies, and brought serious Silicon Valley credibility to an administration that needed it.
He sold over $200 million in crypto investments before taking the role.
No conflicts. Clean hands.
Now he gets an expanded portfolio.
PCAST covers AI plus a broader range of technology policy.
Less day-to-day operations, more strategic recommendations directly to the president.
Sacks:
"I think moving forward as co-chair of PCAST, I can now make recommendations on not just AI but an expanded range of technology topics."
One of the few people in Washington who actually understands how this technology works.
Good to see him staying involved.

California will be bankrupt by 2030.
If you’re expecting a state pension, it is at risk.
If you don’t believe it, check Grok or Gemini and explore how California politicians changed the reporting rules on your pension so they could hide how underwater it is.
The middle class citizens of California will soon be asked to pay a huge price to bail out the state.
Why them?
Because that is where most of the wealth of California resides. It’s easy to single out “billionaires” but there aren’t many of them and they can and will all leave before the bottom falls out. They are leaving in droves already.
The mismanagement in California is biblical - and the scale is huge because it’s the world’s 4th largest economy.
California politicians and their henchmen are now entering the coverup phase where they can no longer hide their financial incompetence so they are taking from average California residents to try and hide what they’ve done:
You will soon see ballot initiatives with fancy tiles like “billionaire tax”. But those are lies. They are mechanisms to tax everything, every way:
Excise taxes
Wealth taxes
Private property confiscation
It’s all happening now.
If you want to preserve California, you will need to stand up because California has become a kleptocracy.

BREAKING - A 92-page report by the California State Auditor has found that over $70 billion in taxpayer funds have been lost, including $2.5 billion in SNAP fraud, $24 billion on fighting homelessness, and $18 billion for a high-speed rail where not a single track has been laid.

BREAKING: David @friedberg says "California is functionally bankrupt"
"People don't realize how screwed California is, & I worry that if California falls, so does the union.
"$250 billion to $1 trillion short."
"This is because for California to get rescued would be a big cost to red states, & I think it creates in the years ahead a lot of tension."
"California's functional bankruptcy is a major risk to the country. & I think we need to figure out what we can change to fix it."
How we got here:
"California has a public pension system, & that public pension system retirees have paid into it & they get some benefits out, & the amount that they're owed back out is somewhere between $250 billion - $1 trillion dollars more than has been paid in.
$250 billion to $1 trillion short.
If it was the federal government, it would be like, okay, we'll just print more money. California doesn't have the ability to print money, so California has to pay this out, and you can't restructure retirement benefits.
There is a Supreme Court case in California that said that once an employee has been offered retirement benefits, even if they're currently an employee, you can never restructure their retirement benefits.
It has to stay forever, and the state cannot declare bankruptcy. There's no way for the state to functionally declare bankruptcy. There's no law to allow it. No state has ever declared bankruptcy, and the retirement benefits sit senior to the bonds in California.
So you have to pay out the retirement benefits before you pay out all the bond holders that have loaned California the money that they use to run all their programs and services."

Hilarious-- watch the camera operator's disgust as Senators talk about creating a new $1.5 trillion investment fund to save Social Security.
Regular, working people understand that giving more money to the government doesn't solve anything. It's just a magnet for fraud.

“For $10 billion, @elonmusk put 300 rockets in orbit.”
“For $11 billion the state of California has built 1600ft of elevated rail, with no rail.”

Everything costs less than the cost of high speed rail from SF to LA, which is infinite.
