Palantir sells governments a war room that costs millions a year. So, a guy named Elie just rebuilt it, put it on GitHub, and gave it away. It's called World Monitor. Open it and you get a live 3D globe with 500+ news feeds pouring in across 15 categories, all summarized by AI as they land. > Military movements. > Economic shocks. > Natural disasters. > Cyber incidents. > Flight paths. > Shipping lanes. + 56 different map layers you can stack on top of each other. It scores 31 countries on a stress index and updates the number as things happen. It watches 29 stock exchanges, commodities, and crypto in one panel. It runs local AI through Ollama, so you can use the whole thing without a single API key. Native desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. 25 languages. Works out of the box after one clone.

Interesting—if unsurprising—finding. It also shows how much culture can dictate sexual taste. Boomers were a tit civilization. Playboy, Raquel Welch, Baywatch, Hooters. What year did the center of gravity swing from tits to ass? I’d guess ~2012? The Kardashians, hip hop taking over pop, Instagram goes mainstream (the “belfie”, “Break the Internet”, etc.), fitness/squat culture goes mainstream, immigration/the browning of America (research has shown ass is historically a third world preference) etc?

Was on a call with some older commercial RE brokers. One of them used Grok to analyze a deal and they all lost their minds with the quality of the analysis. We are so very early.

@mhp_guy Wouldn't be surprised if it was all owned by same entity, given the consistent semi cursive branding, unless that's standard millennial "we're fresh but handmade" aura farming.

This outdoor food hall near me just failed and I'm not surprised. "The Hub" in Allen, TX. Every single restaurant was a generic no name brand with even worse food. You can't just throw down some turf, add bland $13 tacos and call it a day.

Anyone familiar w/ this real estate play? "The Hub" just opened in DFW. On the surface it's an outdoor food hall w/ a stage & seating Cool, BUT... ZERO "real" name brand restaurants. It's an in-person ghost kitchen & every eatery has terrible reviews. As a foodie, not a fan.

@RealTrouble_Man His amnesty was so disastrous it marks him historically as an extreme leftist, regardless of any other policies.

The President of Israel, Isaac Herzog, claims that he and his family are direct descendants of King Solomon. He says rabbis have carefully recorded his family tree as proof of his biblical bloodline. "We are descendants of King David."

Plastic surgery does not make women look younger. It can erase the appearance of age, but it cannot restore the appearance of youth. The result is a different, third category entirely: neither old nor young, simply operated on.

@KeithWoodsYT He'd absolutely have to surrender the graying in that movie. Ice water and snow are bright blue and titanium white up there.

Christopher Nolan was painfully ill-suited to adapting The Odyssey. But he could still be the perfect director to present Amundsen and Scott’s race to the South Pole, a story that has never received the cinematic treatment it deserves. Think of it: competing clocks, technological ingenuity, national rivalry, masculine obsession and men struggling against an indifferent natural world. It's almost too perfectly suited to him, and there's (surely?) no excuse to diversify the cast. We could have one of the great epics celebrating European daring and ingenuity. I bet if he read The Last Place on Earth he would be inspired to make it.

@WallStreetApes I actually don't mind this provided we enforce other more serious infractions just as vigorously. When you have chaos in the streets, fish police seem a bit Monty Python.

American is given a misdemeanor because he caught a fish that was over 16 inches The fish and game warden even called in backup police for this serious incident You are only allowed to have 1 fish over 16 inches at this location, so the officer measures each of his fish to ensure he’s in compliance, then gives him a misdemeanor Our founding fathers never meant for this level of Government intrusion in our lives In places like Florida for example, there are bad limits and size limits. Failure to follow these laws can land a misdemeanor, jail time and a fine

Punished for higher, but alternative, standards.

The state showed up at Joel Salatin's farm and told him selling chickens to his own neighbors was illegal. He was stunned. "I'm a voluntary farmer. They're a voluntary buyer. We're neighbors. What do you mean? We can't butcher a chicken here and sell it to them?" Their reasoning? The air was unsanitary. "If one fly enters your processing area, then it's an adulterated chicken and inedible." They said his windows had to be covered with fly-impregnable mesh. One problem. He processed outdoors, with no walls. "It doesn't say I have to have a wall," Salatin told them. That sentence became the crux of the showdown. "They were going to eliminate our farm." He pulled in his senator, his delegate, and an attorney. Three months later, he won. In the living-room meeting, a legislative aide looked at the regulators and asked: "Gentlemen, is it possible that somebody in Richmond created these rules who could not have conceived of a place like Polyface?" They had to say yes. And here's the thing. A microbiology lab had just swab-tested his birds against store-bought chicken. The store-bought birds had been through 40 chlorine baths. His had no antimicrobials at all. The store-bought chicken averaged 3,600 colony forming units of bacteria. His averaged 133. That's 27 times more bacteria in the government-approved bird. "So if it's clean, who cares if it's outside, inside, in the kitchen? If it's clean, it's clean," Salatin said. The regulator's answer? "Well, that's not all we're concerned about." The standard was never cleanliness. It was compliance.

Had a great time chatting w/ other parents tonight at a play area. Some are clearly libs but we can all share a drink for a bit. Until one dad says, “my [2yo] son’s daycare said ‘he says he doesn’t know if he’s a boy or a girl,’ & I’m so excited” VISCERAL fear & disgust
