The Church Committee Hearings occurred from January 1975 until April 1976. Microsoft was founded in April 1975 and Apple was founded in April 1976
Colby helped privatize a lot of what the CIA actually did so it couldn't be FOIA'd or interrogated by public congressional hearings, so the actual CIA and people associated with it are a cover story for actual international espionage and agents involved

I talk a lot about history that is debated or censored, and in the abstract it can seem like a remote thing. But today we've got an interesting case of censorship that I'd like to discuss.

I was right as it turns out. Now back to real life and the actual world.
I am the one person who has the correct take on what was happening internally for both Nathan Fielder and Elizabeth Holmes when they shot that exchange in the teaser, but I'm afraid none of you is psychologically or socially adept enough to understand it.

Jason has been a longtime supporter of Israel, and suddenly he's being marched out to talk about how good the Palestinians are. 🤔He's long supported the Israel lobby, including the Anti-Defamation League, which is linked to the assassination of Alex Odeh. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Jason Alexander says he feared visiting Palestine as a Jew until 10 Palestinians protected him during an Israeli army raid in Ramallah “How much of a risk would I be taking as an American Jew walking into Palestinian cities? And Mohammed said, ‘The greatest dishonor that could happen to a religious Muslim is to allow harm to come to an invited guest’” “And he said, ‘Jason, if they had to, they’ll take a bullet for you.’ And what was so interesting about that trip is, we were having lunch in Ramallah with a bunch of actors and artists at a sort of outdoor restaurant” “And the Israeli army was conducting a raid on a bank that they thought had terrorist ties a couple blocks away. And they must have, to announce themselves, just shot into the air. And I remember 10 of those guys at the table surrounding me. And I went, ‘Oh my God, he wasn’t kidding. They’re not going to let me get hurt’”

Saw NYCSE. I don't like the illusion of investigation offered us. The personal is not all that political but it's all that most of us know and what a seductive labyrinth of the personal he leads us down. A labyrinth you could make a home in.

in October of 2028, Barack Obama is going to tell us exactly when Israel did have the moral high ground, and I for one can't wait! 😃

I'm waiting for liberals to scold Jewish voters like they do every other group who won't vote for them

Same guy who created Barfsack Ocrumbo. Nephew angel-investored the Gayzone. Family itself in deep on JFK assassination (their Ft Worth plant was saved by the TFX/F-111 contract LBJ finagled. Investigation was stopped by the assassination) xitter.cf/yung_coxey/status/1989…
Billionaire Lester Crown, 101-year-old Chicago industrialist and chairman emeritus of Henry Crown & Co., net worth $10B+, just gave Alexi Giannoulias $50,000. That’s six billionaires donating to him this year: Bluhm, Lefkofsky, Sacks, Mills, Matthew Pritzker, and Crown.

Even Sorkin-ese is too good to put in the mouths of figures like Jobs and Zuckerman (I'll happily lump those two together). One of the crimes of all these biopics is portraying these men like they have an ounce of poetry in them. The real ones are innovators in human emptiness.
STEVE JOBS turns 11 today. Danny Boyle shot the three acts in 16mm, 35mm and digital, matching each format to a different era of Jobs’ career. The changing visual texture helps distinguish his evolution across the Macintosh, NeXT and iMac launches.

later on, around 2011 he gives this more famous quote to one of his biographers, but I think it's a continuation of his thinking: we deserve all the machines that make us dumb:

Mehdi's melting down a bit, because if Mamdani is at all complicit, then what the fuck is Mehdi Hasan?
Mamdani hasn’t killed any kids, you fricking dumbasses!
