“You once thought Mother Gith's son was the rightful heir to the githyanki throne - but now how wrong you were. A Comet will rise on the empire, this much is true. But it will be known by another name: Lae'zel of K'liir, god regent of the githyanki.” #BaldursGate3 #BaldursGate3Cosplay #BG3 #BG3Cosplay #Laezel #LaezelCosplay

“In my name.” I finished my most complex cosplay I've ever done! Reaper’s Embrace metal armor made in tandem in the forge, embroidery on velvet, crazy amount of details. Hundreds of hours have been spent on this project #BaldursGate3 #BaldursGate3Cosplay #Laezel #LaezelCosplay

this has been an open secret in tech for years and if you’ve been following my threads you already know where I stand on this I genuinely believe Palantir was never just a government contractor it was always designed from day 1 to embed itself so deep inside the intelligence & defense apparatus that ripping it out would be like trying to remove the nervous system from a living body you need to understand how this works on a technical level to really grasp the scale of what I’m describing Gotham & foundry are data integration platforms that plug into every single information source an organization has, internal databases, intelligence feeds, comms, satellite data, financial transactions, social media…everything gets funneled into a single ontological knowledge graph and here’s the key, once you’ve connected 5y of an intelligence agency’s data or a defense ministry’s operations into Palantir’s architecture you’ve created a technological dependency that is virtually impossible to reverse bc migrating that graph to another system would mean rebuilding the ENTIRE institutional memory of the organization from scratch I’m telling you this is vendor lock-in at the scale of a nation state & I’m personally convinced it was designed to work exactly this way from the beginning by the way palantir is just the most visible case, you should know that the same exact playbook is running across the entire deftech ecosystem right now, companies building AI systems for surveillance targeting & predictive intelligence are quietly rotating former employees into regulatory agencies & defense departments the revolving door between silicon valley & the pentagon has literally become a conveyor belt at this point & I think the boundary between private tech infrastructure and state power is dissolving way faster than anyone wants to acknowledge and I’ll add something that I believe makes it even more concerning these systems are increasingly autonomous meaning the AI layer is making recommendations that humans inside gvt are rubber stamping without fully understanding the underlying logic I’m deeply convinced that the most important power shift of this decade is happening in complete silence and I think most people have absolutely no idea, this is the moment where the companies building the tools of governance become indistinguishable from governance itself & believe me by the time the general public figures out what happened the integration will be too deep too complex & too classified to ever be unwound

These are not DOGE “kids”. These are fully functioning grown men with agency. They made a choice to serve in a capacity to remove jobs, contracts, and services for anyone not white! They were highly unqualified and the very definition of handpicked, merit-less, and privileged.

it's just a little distracting

HOLY SH*T: Rep. Jayapal just asked Epstein survivors at the DOJ oversight hearing to raise their hand if Trump's DOJ has not met with them. Every single victim raised their hand. Pam Bondi has failed the American people and must resign immediately. This is bad.
