Well, I'm sure most of you have seen these. If you search for any "A day in the life at Microsoft" video, they all look identical. Having visited their offices many times over the past 30 years. I can confirm that the reality inside isn't any kind of professional workplace, it's a toyland, a free-fest, a non-working shitshow.

I’m now beginning my one-year final countdown to superintelligence. We will likely achieve this earlier; I arbitrarily set this as the max timeline. As such, the age of AI will end & the age of superintelligence will begin before November 15th, 2027. And the singularity arrives.

Don’t worry, America, while you’re stuck at the airport this Friday night, Marco Rubio is defending North Korea.

Once you understand the incentive, the reason for the behavior becomes obvious: they are importing a left-voting bloc that depends on government handouts. A prominent example of this in America is Ilhan Omar and her Somali voting bloc in Minnesota, an area which used to be primarily Nordic-German. Importing voters is a CERTAIN path to a single-party supermajority and has ALREADY happened at the state level in California and New York. It also explains why those states have BANNED VOTER ID in order to accelerate a permanent socialist supermajority, destroying any semblance of democracy. We stand on the precipice of disaster, an end to America.

It’s very hard to analyse people who are as coy about their beliefs as Vance, so the distinction between their friends, to whom they are loyal, and their enemies, whom they will bully and slander, is the best window. About a year and a half ago, when I started questioning Vance’s very close relationship with America’s foremost Jew-hater, I received negative feedback from a few right-wing Jews: “shut up”, “you’re being counterproductive”, “we can fix him”, that kind of thing. I told them that they couldn’t and they shouldn't debase themselves trying, and they are better off trying to face reality. They don’t say anything anymore. They’re all silent now. One of the real signs early on that something was very seriously wrong was that he made a habit of picking critics out of the crowd, seemingly at random. He’s the Vice President. People are criticising him every day, hundreds, thousands of people. But he would pick fairly obscure ones out of the crowd who were generally female and almost always Jewish. Usually both. And it was quite obvious that he was doing this to impress the kind of people who don’t like women and don’t like Jews. Was he merely doing this cynically, because he’s wicked, or because he really doesn’t like women and Jews himself? Which one would be worse? The answer actually emerged when the people around him started a hate campaign against a friend, Emily Schrader, another Jewish woman who was critical of him. But they didn’t just do that. They revealed themselves to be absolutely dumb because, for no reason in particular at all, they decided that it would be wise to totally unnecessarily involve another Jewish woman, Miriam Adelson, one of Trump’s closest friends and benefactors, one of the wealthiest women in the world, in this dispute, in some bizarre, tangential way. At that point, all can realise that, actually, these people are just dumb. They’re dumb and they’re badly advised by morons. So badly that the man giving Vance advice on polling in the lead-up to one of the most important elections was a demented geriatric Groyper. The smartest pollster he knows. And I suspect, as I argued below, that what Trump has done is, on the one hand, given Vance enough rope to hang himself in public while allowing him to be useful to try and keep his coalition together through the midterms (that went well…), in a way that affords Trump plausible deniability for the murder, and, on the other, allowed him to take on the burden of some of the least popular things that Trump was going to have to do anyway, like the oil-market-focused MOU. Thoroughly deserved.

Vance is considering sitting down face to face with Mohsen Rezaei, and Trump is open to it. Rezaei ran the IRGC for 16 years. Argentina still wants him for the 1994 AMIA bombing that killed 85 people, and there's an Interpol red notice in his name. Today he threatened US bases in Europe. On the same day, Ghalibaf went on Al Jazeera with Tehran's price for even talking: the blockade lifted, oil sanctions gone, frozen money released, extra US forces out of the region, the war called off for Hezbollah and the rest of their "resistance front," and Hormuz never going back to how it was before the war. That isn't a negotiation. It's a surrender list handed to America. The blockade is the only reason they're at the table. Keep it. And don't sit across from a man Interpol is looking for.

Walmart and Kroger are quietly rolling out an internal store technology across America that could either modernize retail or bankrupt the middle-class family budget. Starting across thousands of locations heading into 2027, traditional paper price tags are being ripped off grocery shelves and replaced with cloud-connected digital screens. Raise the price of bottled water by 20 percent the second the afternoon temperature hits 90 degrees. Surge the cost of ground beef, milk, and sandwich bread between 5 PM and 6 PM when exhausted commuters are rushing home from work. Drop prices at 10 AM on a Tuesday, then hike them right back up the minute the after-school crowd walks through the sliding doors. Every price change happens wirelessly in seconds from a central corporate dashboard. No store employee has to touch a single shelf. Walmart has already signed a massive deployment deal with VusionGroup to wire 2,300 American supercenters with EdgeSense digital shelf rails by 2027. Kroger is expanding its own Microsoft-backed system called EDGE across hundreds of supermarkets. Over 60 million digital price tags are already blinking on US grocery aisles right now. This is not supply chain inflation. This is Uber-style surge pricing built directly into the shelves where Americans buy baby formula, eggs, and medicine. Last week I sat down for coffee with a former retail pricing director who spent 14 years building supermarket margin algorithms before leaving the industry. What he shared over the table completely changed how I look at a grocery aisle. "Retailers just turned static shelves into live stock tickers. The question is not whether grocery chains will use instant price changes, because they already spent billions installing the hardware. The question is how much extra money a family of four will lose every week simply because both parents work until 5 PM and cannot shop during off-peak hours." Here is how the digital grocery pricing system actually works, how it tracks you in the aisle, and the exact phone settings and checkout playbook you need to beat it.

NEW The New York Times has obtained the letter President Trump left for President Biden in the Oval Office in 2021. The letter — which Trump wrote by hand using his signature black Sharpie — is printed in Biden’s forthcoming presidential memoir. Full Story: nyti.ms/4zbXc6m

.@SECWAR “Let’s be clear about what this resolution actually does. It tells our enemies — Iran, the cartels, the Houthis, every adversary watching — that the United States will actually punish its own warfighters and its own civilian leadership for successfully executing lawful military operations. It tells them that a single rogue legislator, loaded with personal animus for the President, can attempt to veto national security decisions made by the Commander-in-Chief. It puts a target on the backs of American service members by signaling that Congress will undermine their missions in real time. That is not patriotism. That is SABOTAGE."
