DEI COSTS LIVES:

WELL, THE PROBLEM IS A LACK OF TRUST IN THE BIOTECH INDUSTRY, AND THE FOOD INDUSTRY, AND WHOSE FAULT IS THAT? Banning Lab-Grown Meat is Stupid.

RESEARCH THAT CHAT GPT CAN’T DO: Archaeologist sailing like a Viking makes unexpected discoveries. “The sailing boat—an open, square-rigged clinker boat similar to the boats used during the Viking Age (800–1050 AD)—traveled from Trondheim up to the Arctic Circle and back in 2022. Since then, Jarrett and his team have sailed over 5,000 kilometers along Viking trade routes (see map). His research shows that the likely routes of the Vikings took them farther from land than previously thought.”

HE’S NOT WRONG:

Palmer Raids redux? I’m starting to rethink those . . .

DAVID FRIEDMAN: Stargate and the AI Industrial Revolution. “The conventional narrative about artificial intelligence is deeply flawed. For years, we’ve been told that AI is ‘just software’—a clever layer atop the internet stack, maybe a productivity multiplier for office workers, maybe a toy for app developers. But that view is dying in the red clay of Abilene, Texas. AI is not software. AI is the foundation of a new Industrial Revolution. . . . OpenAI’s bet isn’t just on model quality. It’s on controlling the entire AI supply chain: land, energy, chips, training loops, distribution channels. Just as Standard Oil controlled drilling, refining, and transport, OpenAI is building an industrial stack. . . . This is what makes Stargate revolutionary: AI is becoming its own industrial base.”

THE ENEMY WITHIN:

MORE “GLOBALIZING THE INTIFADA?”

INSTITUTIONAL RACISM IS HARD TO ERADICATE: UCLA medical school still discriminates against white, Asian students, lawsuit alleges.

TREAT THEM LIKE THE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS THEY ARE:

Maybe if the FBI had been working on these people instead of traditional Catholics and parents who spoke up at school board meetings . . .

UPDATE (from Steve): Commies and murderous antisemite terrorists go way back.

IF THERE’S A WAR ON CIVILIZATION, MAYBE CIVILIZATION SHOULD START FIGHTING BACK?

DON SURBER: Media Sides with Genocide. The DNC password of the day is AMBUSHES. “President Trump had South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in for a little chat on Wednesday. Once everyone was seated in the room, Trump dimmed the lights and played videos of the genocide of whites by black goons backed by a government that sings Kill the Boer while confiscating the land of white farmers. The American media—which had promoted isolating South Africa over apartheid 40 years ago—refused to accept the reality that the black people in charge are killing white people, necessitating give white South Africans refuge. We shall see if any of the holier-than-thou sanctuary cities take them in. . . . Baseless? Trump showed the evidence—unlike every liberal who claims there is a genocide in Gaza.”
