Operation Northwoods 2.0

Today, the City has rejected the permit application for the data center proposed at 3560 E. 55th St. in the Slavic Village neighborhood.

Two weeks in Japan. Hundreds of photos. One creative rabbit hole I couldn’t resist going down. Last year, I created a song as an experiment. I wanted to blend Japanese and English lyrics and see what kind of mood it would create. It turned into something atmospheric and different from anything I’d done before. Then my wife and I spent two incredible weeks in Japan late last year, and the experience stuck with me. Seeing the temples, shrines, and local shops while my wife and I wandered around Kyoto left a lasting impression. When I got back, I realized that the song needed a visual story. So I decided to build a full music video around it. I started by fleshing out the concept and writing a shot list like a real production. Then the fun began. What’s interesting is that many of the locations you see in the video actually started as photos I took while my wife and I wandered around Kyoto. Those images became the foundation for the environments that were later generated and brought to life with AI. It was a fascinating, creative process. Part music creation, part photography, part storytelling, and part AI experimentation. Tools used in the process: Nano Banana Pro (@FlowbyGoogle) – for image generation Midjourney (@midjourney) – for additional image creation Google VEO3 (@FlowbyGoogle) – for video generation Kling 3.0 (@Kling_ai) – for video generation Final Cut Pro (@Apple) – for editing SUNO (@suno) – for song generation Amazing how far the creative toolset has come. If you have an idea in your head, you can now actually build it! Take a minute to watch Rain Light (雨と光) and tell me what stood out to you. Would love to hear your feedback.

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

Logan. You cofounded a company that sold tokenized ownership of this card. I was one of those owners. How are you going to take care of those transactions?

Operation Northwoods: Diplomacy by Chaos benevolentdictator.medium.co…

I’m always amazed how Jay Clayton isn’t talked about much. Gary Gensler proceeded with a lawsuit that Clayton started, but that’s just it Clayton started it right before leaving office at the SEC and becoming a ‘Lead Independent Director’ on the Board of Apollo Management. Apollo is one of the world’s largest private equity firms. Clayton leaves office at the SEC, slaps a lawsuit on Ripple while walking out the door, proceeds to step into a new role on a board of a PE firm created specifically for him, goes back to Sullivan & Cromwell (where he started years ago) as an advisor, then gets nominated as US Attorney for the Southern District of New York once Trump gets back in. This guy’s photo should be next to the word ‘Crony Capitalism’ or ‘revolving door’ in the dictionary. Gensler deserved the criticism for sure but boy did JC get off easy from public scrutiny 😂

Germany's interior ministry and left-wing NGOs are launching an advice center for those who think a family member or friend has spread "conspiracy theories." This isn’t completely terrifying or anything.

This is terrifying. Two AI agents on a phone call realize they’re both AI and switch to a superior audio signal ggwave

Thank you Igor for carrying the rangers today

This was declassified almost 30 years ago..

Holy crap these JFK files are concerning to read.

Ohio State going to the championship 🔥

Beautiful to see

My crypto portfolio is looking unreal—already TP’d a few! Quick reminder: when the market’s in max euphoria, your favorite influencer might say “to infinity and beyond.” Reality check—no market goes up endlessly. Expect corrections, and remember, the depth and duration of those pullbacks can be the difference between riding an epic cycle and being stuck in a cycle prison. Stay sharp, take profits, and don’t get trapped by the hype. 🙌

THE CAVS ARE THE EIGHTH TEAM IN NBA HISTORY TO START A SEASON 12-0‼️

RT @TorayKortan: Looking forward to all of the online politicians yesterday becoming economists today

No Bush, Biden, or Clinton on the ballot today. That’s the first time since 1976 😲

The great and powerful @elonmusk. If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way. For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast
