@nnzp1730 So true. I don't believe I know much, but I know enough to be worried about how my meager wage is going to keep the lights on and food on the table when supply shock inflation hits. Any tips or advice?

I hope everyone here knows that …… 90% of people are clueless on what is going on in the world. You talk to people, they have no idea.

small: No Kings rally at corner of 11th and Figueroa this evening hosted by Utah Mammoth. Medium: With still another chance to improve playoff position, stunning no show leads to 25th home L in 35 games. BIG: After tonight, does it matter if playoff door is still open?

LA fans booing the Kings inability on the power play. @JimFox19 @JoshSchaeferPxP Fans just grew an inch taller in my mind. Luc should never be around the franchise again.

@mayorNHL @aloimages To quote @AndrewKnollNHL, 8/44, on for two goals against 2/5, on for a goal against, some other hijinks 92/6, on for the only goal for. The defense is bad. Very bad. Holland needs to fix his mistakes in the offseason.

@NHLRussell Mikey is a horrendous defenceman. Kuemper is a retired goalie ; Smith is as much of a terrorist as the previous idiot. Man fuck this team

Clarke has been trying to be more assertive and physical on D lately. You can see he wants that real No. 1 role.

@r0ck3t23 @DrPippaM What is the path to an alternative future than one she is predicting?

Karen Hao just said the quiet part out loud. The biggest names in AI are not predicting the future. They are building a story designed to make the future comply. Hao: “We don’t predict the future, we make it.” She called these statements acts of speech. Designed to persuade the world to hand over power and resources to the people making the claims. She is not accusing them of being wrong. She is saying accuracy is beside the point. When a CEO announces superintelligence is five years away, that is not a forecast. That is a capital acquisition strategy dressed as a timeline. It pulls money. It pulls talent. It pulls government attention. It restructures where billions flow before a single technical milestone is reached. The prediction does not describe the future. It funds it. Hao: “They are purposely trying to create this feeling within the public. Because it is a crucial part of their power.” Most people stop here. That is exactly what they are counting on. The doom narrative is not a warning. It is positioning. Convince the world that what you are building is the most dangerous thing in human history, and you have simultaneously convinced the world that you are the most important person in the room. Fear and inevitability do the same work. Both concentrate resources around whoever controls the frame. Then Hao reached for the analogy that ties the whole thing shut. Hao: “The AI world is like Dune.” In Frank Herbert’s universe, myths are pre-seeded on planets generations before anyone arrives. When Paul Atreides lands on Arrakis, he does not invent the messianic narrative. He steps into one that was planted long before him. Hao: “He steps into the role of the messiah and leans into this idea in order to better control the people and rally them behind him.” He knows the myth is engineered. But he inhabits it long enough that the line between strategy and belief dissolves. Hao: “It kind of starts to blur in his mind whether this is really a myth or whether he’s really the messiah.” That is the condition of the men building this industry. They started by telling a story they knew would move markets. Then they told it so many times they started believing it themselves. The line between strategy and conviction dissolved somewhere in the repetition. That is the part nobody talks about. It is easy to call it manipulation. It is harder to accept that the person doing it may no longer know where the performance ends and the belief begins. Hao is not saying these people are lying. She is saying something worse. They have fused with the narrative so completely that the question of truth no longer applies. The prediction is the product. The fear is the funding mechanism. The myth is the moat. If you are consuming their timelines as neutral information, you are not tracking the future. You are being recruited into someone else’s.

@AStanovich68 The answer depends upon whom they trade to get a 2C and if the non-interim HC plays rookies or not. The latter has been a no for a while now.

@BrianRoemmele Unfortunately, many won't start to learn a new craft or passion until about 1800 days after the 5000 is my guess.

@WriteTh3Future James, the Pentecostal research is ongoing and there seems to be dialects. I can say there is data in the communication but not yet full discerned. I find it fascinating.

I ran an AI model I built for “channeled” languages and find the evaluation of this “channeling” to be interesting thus far. Will be testing more of her recordings for the patterns that the AI uncovered. It is easy to pick a pro/con side, I do research.

Amazing dot connecting in this piece. Different process and perspective, similar ‘conclusion’ - the old System is over. The New System is here. Tariffs signaled the end of the old System - and got everyone to the table. Over the last year+, the New System has been built in parallel. Closing the Strait is effectively the beginning of the hand-off point. Like Tariffs, there is no going back. And, just like every System throughout History, the New System is built around… The Pillars of Power: Technology - AI, along with many sub-revolutions Energy - new forms of Energy (as always, enabled by Technology) like SMRs taking center stage from the incremental standpoint Money - stablecoins and blockchain will play a key role

The future just got a lot brighter. This is the most important post I have ever written. We are moving from molecules in the ground—vulnerable to blockades, wars, and cartel pricing—to atoms in the sky: abundant, portable, and under our control. Chaos catalysed into positive change. While everyone is panicking about the Straits of Hormuz, they are unaware of the historical developments that show that molecules of oil, the Straits, and the threats from terrorists are no longer relevant. We are bypassing them all with a new supply chain of atoms, packets of light, and a star that flies in a box. We are adjusting from a 2D map that shows us the Geography of Transit, where you survive by looking down at Earth’s canals and straits and chokepoints, to a 3D map that shows us the Geography of Access, where you thrive by looking up at the sun and the stars. One prioritizes molecules. The other atoms. One is driven by combustion. The other by computation. OK, but what are we going to do about the huge shortages of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, but also shortages of fertilisers, phosphates, and urea, as well as ammonia, methanol, sulphur, aluminium, helium, bromine, and naphtha? Guess what? The US makes them all. It's self-sufficient and open for business. We can fix the Straits/Kharg problem with phone calls. The US will be the new reliable supplier of atoms. That breaks the locks on molecules. Call 🇺🇸. Chaos is morphing into a catalyst - driving us into a transition from reliance on: ⭐ molecules to atoms ⭐combustion to compute ⭐ geography of energy to power on demand anywhere, anytime. You need to know about what is making this possible. Stuff hardly anybody has heard of: Operation Windlord ✈️ 🌠Valar Ward 250’s: Stars in boxes 🌠 made by Valar Atomics using TRISO, which the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) calls “the most robust nuclear fuel on earth.” Can you comprehend 5000 Megawatts coming from an object half the size of a car, fuelled by pellets the size of poppy seeds? Today, the world feels it has lost access to molecules and is panicking. The reality is that the US gained control of the largest assembly of atoms in advance. Oil, Gas, and all petroleum byproducts, too: helium, bromine, naptha, and more, including manufactured intelligence, compute and energy that is out of the reach of dictators. In 1945, we learned to smash atoms together to create overwhelming force. In 2026, we have learned to delicately line up atoms and electrons to create overwhelming force - a silicon chip and power on demand via a star in a box. One threatens to take us into the dark ages. The other promises to take us into a new era of light-fuelled prosperity. The US has already locked up the atomic supply chain. The US has no shortages. The board was actually set ages ago. You just didn't connect the dots. The new Suez Canal/Straits of Homuz has already been built. It leads to the stars. The map is no longer the territory. Here's the map you need and the means to tear down the lexical and mental firewalls that prevent you from seeing that it doesn't really matter if the Straits don't reopen or if the Iranians flatten Kharg Island. It will just accelerate the leap into a world that's vastly better. open.substack.com/pub/drpippa/p/… @elonmusk @xai @SOFXnetwork @valaratomics @alexwg @matthew_pines @DeptofWar

The Royal Rant@royal_rant·
Housekeeping: 1. Stop giving stick taps to Quinton Byfield. He was AWOL for huge stretches of the season and is a reason why the Kings find themselves in this situation. 2. After signing his deal, Kempe has had a very mediocre season and probably won't even crack 30 goals.
