Oh this story is delicious. Some choice parts for you:

I wonder if it might be a good idea to remove the Mona Lisa, and anything else worth saving, from the Louvre.

This is the horror men dare not admit, or none would ever marry again, and none would ever sleep again. For they can only ever be instrumental and fantastical to the women they love. There is no true or untrue, no objective reality, because she is a creature of the subjunctive. She lives in the world of the possible, the hypothetical, the wished-for and the never-was, the maybe, the almost, the oft-wondered and the yearned-for. Wherever you are, she is not, and wherever she may be, you can never join her. She can do you no injury and thus may do as she pleases, because, to her, you simply are not there.

OBAMA IS IN THE UK, AGAIN Barack Obama leaving his Glasgow hotel on Thursday after another large UK arena event. While President Trump is in office, the former president keeps turning up in Britain for high-profile appearances. He then met UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham privately in Manchester. This is not a quiet retirement. The same Obama networks that ran the Russia hoax have never stopped plotting against President Trump, coordinating across the Atlantic.

That was both hilarious and utterly retarded. On flying out of UK, if you have > 5 cellphones (I have..8), the screeners will call police counterterrorism detectives to interview you. Same as >$10k. I explained HarmonyOS Next v Jolla v Graphene v Android v iOS to them.

This is every annoying and frustrating because it’s not so much that they fight dirty (a lot of people do) but that you can’t convince them that you’re not also doing the same and that this is about something bigger than either of you since they interpret trying to be objective and impartial as the ultimate means of fighting dirty

There are many social media figures that lie all the time about easily documentable facts about their biography-- Brianna Wu is one of the worst

This is arguably the worst thing a father could do to his daughter. Poor kid doesn't even know how to respond.

I see the protests in France are trending. Since I just spent 10 days there during the heart of them, I figured I'd chime in with what's actually going on. The news and clickbait accounts on X will show you the outlier events: burning buildings, raging violence and everything that triggers you. I was in the heart of Aix en Provence during the biggest protest day and filmed the center where it was happening. (See below) This is right the University, across from the church, dead center of town. The students are dancing, singing, kicking soccer balls and have comically barricaded the entrance doors to force the school to close. I visited many cities in France during the protest period, and saw zero violence or malpractice of any kind. More broadly, I spent more than a month this year in France across 3 trips and 10+ cities, including Paris, Bordeaux, Aix en Provence, Nice, Antibes, Biarritz, and others, and it's incredibly safe, charming, peaceful and beautiful. Every city I visited is nicer than almost every American city, and there's zero comparison. So much that it wouldn't even be insulting to France to try, because nobody who has spent significant time in both countries would take this comparison seriously. I spoke with the students at length about their views. I also spoke with waiters, drivers, merchants, staff and whoever. They were all civil, well articulated and genuinely wanted to see change. We can disagree about their reasoning, logic or whatever, and it's true that France has fiscal problems, but to chalk up the France protests to raging extremist violence from "pick your favorite group to blame", is a laughable misrepresentation of what's actually going on. If you exclusively watch the news and believe the top 1% extreme situations, you have likely been psyoped.

This is how I view suicide. If one destroys one’s own self, “one’s own temple/church, home of the soul” we can only beg our Father in Heaven to spare others; that one that was lost is gone forever. So yes don’t go destroy statues and paintings, folks. And also guard your souls.

🚨NEW: In ITV's undercover investigation, a Reform UK councillor in West London said that he would "quite happily" personally execute grooming gang members in the garden of 10 Downing Street "without f*cking thinking for a second about it"

One of the things that hasn’t been talked about with Elizabeth Holmes: She was created in the era of the Ted Talk Entrepreneur. Between 2011-2015 (after the release of the Social Network), there was an entire apparatus built around “Child Prodigies”: college accelerators, young entrepreneur organizations, etc. I watched countless founders of hard tech companies present fraudulent products at conferences. They had fake studies with fudged numbers. Most of the adults in the room excused it as “faking it ‘til you make it.” But Holmes was the one who rode the wave better than anyone else. When the Ted Talk Era came to an end and people finally came to their senses, she was still running the same playbook—and in the most scrutinized field there is: medical technology. When people ask how she got so far, it’s largely explained by the period she did it in. And she got caught when the world suddenly woke up.
