Yes
Maybe the desire to make something beautiful is the piece of God that is inside each of us.

A bit odd, don’t you think? As soon as Muslims started immigrating to Japan, its Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples started burning down, just like the churches in Europe.

Scared the shit outa me & the misses
How about FRO. Emergency alert test tonight – phones will buzz with that awful sound and the legacy media's already wringing hands about it. No apologies from officials for the inconvenience. Take your scare-mongering and shove it. stuff.co.nz/nz-news/36099235…

It’s important to note this is not the “deal”. It’s an agreement to start negotiating the deal.
NEW: The deal with Iran is scheduled to be signed tomorrow, according to President Trump.

Faaark…
Elon Musk announced a chip factory 10 times the size of Tesla's Gigafactory. The goal is to produce enough AI compute to equal twice the entire electricity consumption of the United States. He called it the Terafab. Here is the number that stopped me cold. The entire global AI chip industry right now is on track to hit around 100 gigawatts per year of compute. Every Nvidia GPU, every Google TPU, every chip from every company on earth combined. 100 gigawatts. Musk wants one factory to produce a terawatt per year. A terawatt is 1,000 gigawatts. Ten times the output of the entire global industry. From a single building. To put the scale in physical terms, the Terafab would need to be around 100 million square feet. You would need Starship point to point transport just to get from one end to the other. But the reason for the scale is not ambition for its own sake. To launch meaningful AI compute into space, you need a billion chips per year running at a kilowatt each. That is not a number the current industry can produce. The Terafab is the only way to get there. The timeline he put out: a gigawatt of space AI compute annualized by end of next year. Then 10x per year from there. 10 gigawatts by year two. 100 gigawatts by year three. A terawatt beyond that. Most people think orbital data centers are a decade away. Musk is building the factory to make them possible by next year.

And, then stop their disruptive behaviour by ‘praying’ everywhere, insist they go to a mosque
Los musulmanes de toda Europa están conmocionados tras la histórica y valiente decisión de Suecia: dejará de usar el término «islamofobia», acuñado por los Hermanos Musulmanes, por considerarlo un concepto manipulado políticamente para silenciar las críticas al islam. La ministra de Asuntos Exteriores sueca, Maria Malmer Stenergard, anunció que su gobierno presionará a la Unión Europea y a las Naciones Unidas para que dejen de usar este término fraudulento. El concepto de «islamofobia» fue diseñado deliberadamente para equiparar la crítica legítima a la doctrina islámica con el racismo. Se utilizó como arma para silenciar el debate sobre textos islámicos fundamentales que contienen mandamientos para hacer la guerra, violar y someter a los no musulmanes. Suecia acaba de reconocer lo que millones de europeos ya saben: criticar una religión que abiertamente llama al asesinato y la esclavitud sexual de los no creyentes no es una fobia, sino sentido común y autoconservación. Esto supone un duro golpe para el lobby islamista en toda Europa. ¿Estás de acuerdo con la decisión de Suecia?

And anyone else who does well, who has built wealth, and doesn’t subscribe to the fantasy of Nett zero
The left don’t hate Elon Musk because he is a trillionaire. They hate him because they don’t control him. The wealth is just an excuse to hate him

Muslims went crazy after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this: "Radical Islam doesn’t want just a small caliphate in Iraq or Syria. They see the United States as the greatest evil on Earth and seek to dominate the entire West. Radical Islam is revolutionary, it wants endless expansion, terrorism, assassinations, and total control. They hate America, Europe, Israel, and every Muslim nation that partners with us. Orlando, Pensacola, and domestic attacks prove it. Radical Islam is a clear and imminent threat to the world." I agree with every single word he said.

WTF ….ACT & Seymour have really lost the plot. What are they thinking…!?
This is why Act will continue to slide. Ali Dahche unsuccessfully ran on an Act council ticket, and now Seymour has taken him on as an Act Candidate for Botany. Dahche is deeply involved with the NZICT (NZ Islamic Cultural Trust) which is an islamic centre that teaches the Qur’an, educates youth on Islam and advocates for muslim refugees. They are a classic example of a parallel community structure in NZ. Seymour says a vote for Dahche is a vote for equal rights for ALL PEOPLE. Sorry David, but Islam is the exact antithesis of this. Dahche has reposted Facebook material from Abu Mohamad the Grand Mufti of Australia, who promotes anti-Western, extreme Islamist views and has a history of meeting with Hamas and other extremist groups, and being sympathetic to islamic terrorism. Abu Mohamad advocates for sharia law, and in his 1993 book he described non-Muslim women without a Hijab as walking around “exposed as a piece of sweet pastry… devoured by the eyes of men.” Mohamad also teaches that Homosexuality is evil and must be cleansed from the earth, quite mind boggling for Act who are rainbowed up the whazoo. Act is total Pig Slop, we need to keep their seats to a minimum or they are going to out DEI the Greens at this rate.

There is no Iran Deal. There is only a potential agreement to discuss if there will be a deal in the future. And both IRGC and U.S. are claiming the agreement is on their terms. The drafts being reported are the opposite of each other.

Oh no! This is Islamophobic forbidden knowledge.
Denmark publishes crime by country of origin, not nationality. I looked at 2021-2025 data. Overall: Somali-origin 7.8x the Danish rate. American-origin 0.34x. Thread of Top Five and Bottom Five.

And people are moaning that Trump did a big clean up. Some people are happiest with filth and decay.
Decay is a choice. DC before vs after:

🤣 Medium rare, the correct answer !
You can tell everything about a person from how they order their steak. Blue. You do not order it, you identify it. The waiter wrote it down without breaking eye contact, the way you note the plate of a car that nearly hit you. Rare. You have known what you want since birth. You have never returned a dish or doubted yourself in a mirror. Geese move out of your way. Medium rare. The correct answer, and quietly smug about it. Children and dogs trust you on sight. You will be fine. Medium. You sit on every fence ever built. You answer "how are you" with "can't complain." You brought a spreadsheet, and it has a tab called Notes. Medium well. You apologise before the plate lands. A small voice inside knows what you have done, and you have turned the radio up to drown it out. Well done. You insulted the animal twice. Once by killing it, once by cremating the evidence in front of its peers. The chef heard through two walls and went very still. Well done, then the ketchup. We have left food and entered a crime scene. The cow's descendants are owed an apology and a small annuity. Whatever the chef recommends. You have no opinions and never have. You would confess to anything under the gentlest questioning. Asks if it is grass-fed first. You follow a certain sort of account at three in the morning. We have almost certainly argued in a comment section, and I was right. A steak is a short, honest personality test. Order it blue, and skip the paperwork.

What an utter twat. He thinks rural people are stupid and can’t recognise cosplay
Alert: Hipkins dresses up like a FARMER 🚨🚨🚨 Good morning, folks. Word has it Chris Hipkins rolled up to Fieldays dressed as a rugged farmer — Swanndri shirt and all — trying to sweet-talk rural voters into backing Labour. He must think Kiwi farmers are mugs. Desperate much ?
