Hahahahha LETS FUCKING GOOO
You just can’t make this up
Rep. Ro Khanna sold Nvidia $NVDA perfectly at the top
One month later, CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with a suspected Chinese spy
$NVDA is down 26% since
Khanna sits on the House committee that investigates China’s attempts to steal US tech
To be fair, he's said his trades are run by a 3rd-party
But he's also stated “Members of Congress should not be trading stocks”

To all the doomers screaming their cowardly moral equivalence bullshit at me this morning about how nothing changed because the parties are the same... you can give it a rest. Your black pilled nonsense already convinced enough smooth brains to stay home yesterday. You accomplished your mission. Save your good material Useful Idiot shilling for communists for '28. Tucker Carlson will have a new download for you before then.
The rest of us can recognize that yes, the republicans did suck. They sucked at a lot. They're a bunch of corrupt bums who squandered the greatest comeback in political history. They did a bunch of dumb crap. And the stuff they were right on, they did a shitty job explaining their actions to the people. HOWEVER, the other side is still so much fucking worse. I'll take dumb and corrupt over actively maliciously working hard to destroy me, everyone I love, and everything I hold dear.
But people are stupid and short sighted. Gas is expensive so let's vote for the party that shuts down refineries and makes gas expensive even when we're not at war. Whatever. I can't figure people out.
Everybody else, get your personal shit together as much as possible. Next two years will suck. After that America will have to decide if we want the Supreme Court packed, no borders, and enough illegals and dead people voting to ensure eternal one party rule forever.
Please spare me the whole sanctimonious crying in the comments about how you are too pure to vote for the lesser of two evils. You live on Earth. In the real world the primaries are where you pick your best, and you have the luxury of worrying about character and morals. After that you're an adult, and you hold your nose and vote for the asshole who is going to vote for stuff you want, or against the asshole who will vote to ruin you. If that's still too complicated, vote against the guy who's supporters will shoot you or burn your home down for disagreeing with them.
Democrats abide by this basic principle. That's why they win. In Texas the scumbag R lost to a gay communist weirdo D. But in Michigan the from all accounts the fairly plain vanilla R lost to a psychopath D who is friends with literal fucking terrorists.
But, but, but, my moral equivalence! MY SOUL IS TOO PURE!
Brother, we are dealing with literal fucking communists, the all time world champions of doing absolutely anything to achieve victory, no matter what laws they need to break, or how many million people they need to kill... and they are currently in an alliance with militant Islamists, who also have zero moral compunction about taking your shit and killing people in order to reach their goals. History has demonstrated that either of these will gleefully throw open the floodgates to hell. Your traditions and norms mean nothing to them. Once the Useful Idiots cease to be useful, you get bulldozed into a ditch with the rest of us.
Oh well. I'm hoping best case scenario is gridlock and show trials for two years. That's best case. After that? Who knows. Texas, please, speaking on behalf of sane America, for the love of God, get your shit together before the presidential election. Go slap the fuck out of your apathetic friends and neighbors. Without you guys, the rest of us are FUCKED.
P.s. Buy those NFA items while you can!

Here’s the thing about spotting the horrendous, soulless AI-generated writing infecting every corner of the internet now: it’s not just about the words — it’s about the patterns.
And once you start noticing them, you can’t unsee them.
The unnecessary em dashes. The polished transitions. The examples given in groups of three.
The weird metaphors that kind of make sense but kind of don’t — like a parachute opening inside a submarine.
The load-bearing use of the term “load-bearing.”
The random one sentence paragraphs.
The way a bunch of bland gibberish is quietly reframed as a profound insight.
The on-going and un-necessary hyphenation of every-day words that really don’t need it.
The cliches.
Read that again.
Cliches.
Louder for people in the back.
Tons of cliches.
That’s not a typo.
Sit with that for a moment.
And the biggest red flag? Asking yourself a question and answering it.
Because honestly? No sentient human writes like this.
And truthfully? If you can’t identify these red flags, you might not actually be sentient yourself.
Because really? If this formatting doesn’t immediately strike you as awkward and artificial, it means you don’t read books.
Ever.
Seriously.
But here’s where it gets interesting:
It doesn’t.
The point has been made but I’ll keep going. That’s what AI writing is all about.
Let’s delve into real problem. It isn’t the technology. It’s the people using it because they’re too retarded to generate an original thought of their own.
That’s not thoughtfulness. It’s intellectual laziness wearing digital makeup.
It doesn’t make the internet more fun. It makes me want to throw my phone in the river and forsake all of humanity and live as a hermit in the woods for the rest of my life.
Seriously this shit fills me with despair. I’m not kidding.
And the distinction matters.
Especially when you’re saying the distinction matters without actually drawing a distinction.
But here’s what nobody tells you.
When you ask a machine to manufacture your personality, you’re not just automating your writing. You’re quietly announcing that you’re a boring, insipid dork with nothing interesting to say.
Let that sink in.
The uncomfortable truth?
AI didn’t turn these people into tedious midwits.
It quietly revealed what they already were.
And perhaps — just perhaps — that’s quietly the most important takeaway of all.
But what do you think? Let's unpack this together in the comments. 👇

Actual adults vote for Republicans. That statement may anger you, but I’ll say it again; those with a level of discernment beyond that of a child vote for Republicans.
I don’t do a massive amount of politics on here, or truthfully, in real life. I have no love for politicians, they are merely a necessary evil. Why the statement?
Actual adults understand a few things…
The current Democratic Party refuses to accept the science of biology, stymy the flow of illegal aliens, identity voters through ID, recognize your Right to firearms (as outlined in the 2nd Amendment), and reject the ideas of Karl Marx as incongruent with the Constitution. They play games on the State level to block those who seek to reveal corruption and fraud. They literally named a law after Nick Shirley to prevent others like him from revealing massive scams in their State like he did in Minnesota. These are not the actions of rational adults, but rather emotional, power-hungry children who seek to upend our Nation as long as they personally benefit.
I am under no delusion that Republicans will deliver everything I want. They have been tepid at best the past two years. I’m also no Trump sycophantic. Many of his positions would have been considered middle-ground in the 1990’s Democratic Party. He and the Party he leads have managed to deliver a few victories in areas that matter. The southern border is the most secure that it’s been in my lifetime. The NFA is currently starving for oxygen. Some common sense has been applied to preventing men from parading as women to crush their athletic dreams and act as government endorsed voyeurs in bathrooms.
Trump is bombastic and publicly treats the Office of the Presidency as a celebrity position. Behind the scenes, it’s clearly different. I highly approve of some of the moves he’s made and shake my head in frustration at others.
Trump is not on the ballot this election. Who is? Local representatives and managers, many House Representatives and some Senators; for some of you Mayor or County Sheriff. These are the people whose decisions will truly impact your life regardless of what the man who is not up for reelection does.
Rational adults vote for the representation that doesn’t promise to steal what you have, give it to noncitizens, take away your right to self-defense, upend our founding documents, and allow the replacement of equal justice with Sharia law. The current Democratic Party endorses ideas that indoctrinate your children into ideas that prevent you from ever having grandchildren. They support that which will literally end your family line; they gain power and you lose your legacy. At this point in time, that rational option is by and large the Republican Party.
Will Republicans likely fail to live up to all of their campaign promises? Beyond a doubt. A mature adult knows that and yet understands the opposite choice is guaranteed destruction. Naïve children make choices on emotions, “the feels”, promises of free stuff and believing that politicians won’t disappoint them. Rational adults stoically weigh the options based on projected course and values.
The Iran war will not immediately end no matter which way you vote. Gas prices also don’t turn on a dime. No matter who you choose, inflation will not immediately disappear and Congress will spend money. I have my gripes, as do you. They are valid. National suicide is not the answer.
Until the Democrats produce another JFK like option, eschew their current values and platform, you must do your job as a rational adult and block them at the voting booth and in the public square. Anything less is puerile.

“Abdul you recently did a 12 city tour with an Imam who said he would not rest until the streets of Dallas ran red with the blood of the infidels. Do you condone this rhetoric?”
“Come on. That’s crazy.”
“But do you?”
“This campaign is about affordability.”

The hateful caricature portraying straight, white males as useless and toxic has become so normalized that even otherwise conservative women have taken it up.

Senate Republicans want to lose the Senate. They want to just sit around making deals with Democrats and avoiding any accountability for what happens.
They want an environment where they can cast fake votes that allow them to look like they’re doing the right thing while getting what they want from Democrats—amnesty, ICE defunding, Trump impeachment.
A minority Senate where they can “vote right” but let Democrats get whatever they want is a dream scenario for McConnell and Thune.
Don’t let them let get away with it.
Vote like your continued existence depends on victory. Because it does.
The black pillers will tell you to stay home because nothing matters. But black pilling is gay. And giving puke RINOs what they want is also gay.
Don’t give Senate Republicans what they want, which is a Congress entirely run by Democrats. Put them back in charge and then make them miserable by forcing them to show up to work every day to secure the border and reform elections.
If you want to make Senate Republicans like McConnell and Thune miserable and angry, vote to keep them in the majority. It is the ultimate revenge for their nonsense.

King is the most artificially propped up and rehashed by Hollywood author there's ever been. If you look on IMDB there's 442(!) movies and tv shows adapted from his stories. And interestingly enough the overwhelming majority of those projects didn't perform well or flat out bombed. But they keep on adapting them, over and over. This is what, the fifth version of Carrie?
For each IT or Green Mile there's years and years of mediocre performers and flops. Don't take my word for it, just google Stephen King movie flops.
In fact, King has about a dozen under performers and bombs for each hit, a ratio that would've rendered anyone else dead meat in Hollywood long ago, but he can basically blow his nose and some production company will immediatly option that Kleenex.
For perspective, King had more things adapted than the following mega selling authors put together:
James Patterson-40
Michael Crichton-62
Tom Clancy-47
JK Rowling-47
George RR Martin-42
Michael Connelly-17
John Grisham-25
Toni Morrison-2
Frank Herbert-28
Nora Roberts-12
Nicholas Sparks-24
Dean Koontz-24
Anne Rice-16
James Michener-21
Mary Higgins Clark-30
And that was just a few minutes of me thinking up contemporary mega sellers (top 100 in America) who'd had a lot of movie and TV adaptations and plugging them into IMDB until I got close (437). And a bunch of those have sold more books than King too.
The only mega selling author I found in my quick search who got even sorta close was Tolkien at 117 which sounded really high for what productions I could think of, but turns out that's because he gets a writing credit on every video game and cartoon too, and there's been a lot of those.
Now, this isn't me bashing on King's writing. I like his stuff better than several of those mega sellers I listed above. But when one dude's stuff gets farmed orders of magnitude more than his contemporaries that's a sad statement on the lame predictability of Hollywood.
Meanwhile there are thousands of great authors with original stories who will never option anything to Hollywood. Unless you are one of the Airport Book Store level author mega sellers, Hollywood doesn't know you exist. And even when one of us normal working stiffs get something optioned by a production company, they option like a hundred things for each one that actually gets put into production, so it's a roll of the dice. (I'm on my fifth option but Larry Correia-0).
This isn't weird. The vast majority of authors will never see any of our work adapted by Hollywood. I'm not gonna bother looking these all up on IMDB, but off the top of my head (correct me if I'm wrong):
Laurell K. Hamilton-0
David Drake-0
Eric Flint-0
David Weber-0
John Ringo-0
Faith Hunter-0
Larry Niven-0
Jerry Pournelle-0
Then you've got writers with huge bodies of work, and they maybe get one or two things made over their entire career (or sadly, right after they die!)
Jim Butcher-1
Dan Wells-1
Jonathan Maberry-1
Dan Simmons-1 (How?!? The dude was a fucking genius!)
Neal Stephenson-0 (another how?!? but 2 in production supposedly)
Brandon Sanderson-0! (but a couple in production, and all he had to do was a $47,000,000 kickstarter to get Hollywood to finally notice him!) :D
Then I know a bunch of guys who have 1, but that's because of Love, Death, Robots episodes on Netflix. Like, I can't stand John Scalzi, I think he's a putz, but even he's got far more interesting ideas Hollywood could adapt than the seventh version of a tired Stephen King story.
It's like the Pawn Stars meme. "Hey Hollywood, can you give me some new and interesting stories?" "Naw, best I can do is another version of something Stephen King wrote in the 1970s."
If you think you know her story, you're dead wrong. Carrie, a new series from Mike Flanagan, based on my novel arrives October 7 on Prime Video.

We gotta pump those numbers up! Haha, get it? I want even MORE results than we’re getting, isn’t that novel? It’s a very unique perspective that I’m sure the people whose job it is to get results haven’t considered. Usually, when a team is putting points on the board, they aren’t considering that they should be trying to score as many points as possible. It’s really important for me to remind everyone that I’m actually like super based because I’m even more hardcore than the administration, and I have the resume of posts online to prove it. Now, in terms of actual material victories I have nothing to show, but trust me, the ideas in my head are so much more based than anything you’re seeing from The President of The United States. Isn’t that interesting? The number should be higher. Hey, did you hear me? I said the number should be higher! Did that make it happen? Are you going to tell me the physical reality of transporting large numbers of criminal aliens out of this country in the face of constant legal battles is harder than just posting online? The sad truth is that The Administration just isn’t as redpilled as me, a guy who changes his beliefs based on the last meme I saw. By the way, we should ban flock cameras because of some reason I forgot already but Peter Thiel is probably involved, which makes them bad for, again, some reason I can’t remember. Anyway, the ideas I have in my head are extremely epic, you have never heard of ideas like these, and I’ll gladly put my thoughts-that-amount-to-nothing up against your less-than-perfect real results any day. If Trump, a billionaire playboy who won the presidency 3 times wants to be successful, he needs to start listening to me, a guy who has failed at everything I’ve ever attempted, except for getting 40k followers on Twitter. I think my track record speaks for itself. For example, here’s a very original thought that I know you’ve never considered: why was Biden able to let millions of people flood into the country in 4 years but we can’t get the same amount out in the same time period. See, that is the kind of important question that I bring to the discourse. Without me, and accounts based in Pakistan saying the same things I’m saying, we would be on the brink of collapse, which we already are according to my other tweets where I’ve said that we’d all be dead by now. It’s important in times of crisis to be extremely emotional and demoralizing, not that I’m doing that and I actually hate when people say that. I’m offering genuine, good faith criticism of the administration, such as, Trump has betrayed us because Benjamin Netanyahu has an HD video of him eating a babies skull. I don’t personally say that, of course, I only openly and positively associate with people who do, which is different. It’s connections to people who hate us and want us to lose that makes me such a valuable asset, especially when the stakes are high and the margin of error is slim. We cannot afford to lose the midterms, which I will remind you don’t matter and both sides have sold you out. No matter how you vote, you get the same outcome, but also, I’m not encouraging you to stay home, and in fact if the Democrats get into power the country is over because they will grant citizenship to every single illegal, which is something I just lied about yesterday by saying the Trump administration is doing this. Sometimes it’s good to lie because the left lies all the time and service of their agenda. The difference is when I’m lying, it’s only about stuff that hurts the right instead of helps, which makes it principled somehow. At the very least, it demonstrates how much more based I am which has always been my most guiding principle: Having cool head ideas and lying to demonstrate how much more based I am than what we’re getting. This is how we win, and if we do win, I will be there to take victory lap for my brave sacrifice of posting online, and if we lose, well I told you so. You should’ve listened to me.

Here again is our intrepid Everyman Big Kahuna Auguste Meyrat on his ongoing quest to seek out the more illuminating minds on the interwebs who are willing to have the kind of conversations establishment voices and partisan pedants are unable or unwilling to have.
On this episode of the Everyman Commentary Podcast Auguste has a dialogue with Copernican, a "concerned citizen and humble meme farmer who is quite tired of the BS present in modern politics”, as they discuss the Shiloh Hendrix case, the upcoming Midterms, and random other cultural hot spots happening right now in the wild landscape that is our contemporary culture.

While many people are either hating or enjoying Christopher Nolan’s latest film- The Odyssey- it is clear that by using some of the same actors, similar scenarios, as well as the same kind music (and sound editing problems!) in his films, the Odyssey has all the hallmarks of his style.
Another defining characteristic of Nolan’s films is the personality of his main characters, one that according to our own Evan McClanahan is not an asset. Does Nolan create characters that are enduring in how much we find them endearing? According to McClanahan, No!

One of my more deeply held beliefs is that conservative and right-wing behaviour can more often than not be explained as a series of trauma-responses (learned helplessness, Pavlovian conditioning, etc.). In particular, Conservative and right wing behaviour is a series of responses to a century of setbacks and defeats on every single terrain they've fought on, except maybe Spain (but that victory was very short-lived: look at the state of the country now). This is why I increasingly call many of these people "the raped" and consider their behaviour to be little better than that of a rape victim, forced endlessly to relive their trauma in public, embarrassing and sabotaging themselves and creating a horrible tear- and saliva-stained mess for others to clean up. They often pee and poo themselves as well.
Rod Dreher is a prime example of a raped conservative. It isn't just the histrionic behaviour and the lack of self-control, or the bizarre reveries about black boys at school and their "primitive root weiners" that nobody except a qualified psychiatrist should have to hear. Rod has now betrayed one of his closest and most important allies, JD Vance. This is typical raped behaviour.
Barely had the last ballot landed in the box in Hungary than Dreher was blaming Vance, specifically, for Orban's defeat, saying he should not have visited the country to offer the explicit support of the Trump administration during the election campaign. It wasn't that Orban was corrupt and ran a shit campaign and didn't actually make life better in Hungary after a decade in charge, and was too busy focusing on giving out money to grifters like Rod ($100,000 a year) and putting on stupid CPAC events.
Now Dreher is doing something even stronger. He's saying JD Vance is essentially a Nazi, or at least a Nazi enabler, because he made some pretty even-handed criticism of the Israel lobby and the ongoing hasbara operation on social media and elsewhere; and also because Dreher accuses Vance of taking "the Groypers" under his wing. Never mind that Nick Fuentes has made himself the avowed enemy of Vance--a literal never-Vancer--and groypers regularly taunt Vance for having an Indian wife etc. That doesn't matter.
My suspicion is that Dreher, of course, believes the Republican Party will not win in 2028 and Vance will not be the next president. He is torching his friendship with Vance for purely pragmatic reasons--for the reasons Conservatives almost always punch right as hard as they can, while only pawing in the most pathetic manner at their actual enemies on the left. Dreher is essentially signalling, "I'm not one of them! They're the bad ones and I spoke out about them well in advance!" This behaviour is analogous to the weedy little dork at school who cowers and points to other kids in a desperate attempt to avoid being punched himself.
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
In 2020, @RodDreher warned wokeness was building a soft totalitarianism. He was right. His forthcoming book, Weimar America, comes with a new warning: the same spirit is rising on the right — this time carrying an antisemitism he says has gone from campus-fringe to everywhere in just a few years.
He told me why his hope for JD Vance has curdled into fear that Vance is repeating Franz von Papen's mistake: believing you can control the nihilistic coalition you think you're using.
He also told me why he tried to get Tucker Carlson an exorcist after Tucker said he'd been physically attacked by a demon, and why Tucker refused.
Dreher says the signs that killed Weimar Germany are already here: people who've stopped caring whether something's true, only whether it feels true. He's not sure this ends differently for America.
