2000s globalism: we would all get along if only we could see and understand each other
Twitter translate: fuck you, never before seen permutations of ethnic pissing matches like the French x Japanese x Chinese
few know how how deep occultism ran in the amongst core founders of Silicon Valley
San Francisco was the occult capital of America and many early computer scientists believed they were making a machine god
Mark Zuckerberg was 22 when Yahoo offered $1 billion for Facebook, and his own team wanted him to take it. He went to Steve Jobs instead.
Jobs told him to go to India.
In the video below, Zuckerberg tells India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi what happened next.
"This is a story that I haven't told publicly and very few people know."
Facebook was 2 years old, with about 10 million users. Zuckerberg said no to Yahoo.
It was a tough patch, he says. A lot of people wanted to buy Facebook and thought he should sell.
So he went to one of his mentors, Steve Jobs.
Jobs told him to visit the temple in India he had gone to while figuring out what Apple should be.
Zuckerberg traveled for almost a month. It "reinforced for me the importance of what we were doing."
For early employees with stock, a $1 billion sale is a life-changing payout. Saying no means years of waiting, maybe for nothing.
Within a year of saying no to Yahoo, his entire management team had quit.
He never sold. Today Meta is worth over $1.4 trillion.
Yahoo offered $1 billion.
Steve Jobs offered a temple.
Would you have taken $1 billion at 22, or the ticket to India?

Turkish media reports that Richard James Schueler (a.k.a. Richard Heart), who was wanted by INTERPOL with a red notice, was arrested by Turkish National Intelligence and the Istanbul Police Department.
The authorities also seized $4 million in cash, 64 luxury watches, computers and crypto mining devices from his home:

POV you are the receptionist and this is the last thing you see
Mark Cuban says his receptionist stole $82,000 of the $84,000 his company had in the bank. When the bank called, he thought they’d caught her in time.
“You didn’t cash them, did you?”
“Of course we did. We’re a bank, sir.”
This was at MicroSolutions, his first company. The receptionist was supposed to put checks for their suppliers in envelopes and take them to the post office.
She used white-out to cover the recipients’ names, wrote in her own, and cashed the checks at the bank’s drive-through.
The company had $2,000 left. The suppliers were still waiting for their money.
Cuban and his partner had to call them and explain what had happened. They asked for time and promised they would get paid. The suppliers agreed to work with them.
The business survived. In 1990, Cuban sold MicroSolutions to CompuServe for $6 million.
Shannon Sharpe asks whether they pressed charges. Cuban says they couldn’t find her. As far as he knows, nobody ever did.
He’s a billionaire now, but when he tells this story, he still spells out her name.
I can understand why. The bank called him about checks with the recipients’ names covered in white-out, then explained that it had already paid them.
Would you have trusted that bank again?
Houthis could not dig mountain tunnels without getting blown to bits under bomber surveillance
sounds like the ceasefire was a mistake
never take how someone ‘seems ok’ on the surface as some proof of them being fine internally
the most hurt people are also the best at putting up a facade to not lose their dignity in daily interactions
BREAKING: Breaking Bad star RJ Mitte dead at 34, died by su*cide, according to TMZ.
Mitte was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at three years old and gave his final interview just days ago.
"It is with profound sadness we share the tragic passing of beloved actor, philanthropist, and passionate disability rights advocate RJ Mitte," his representatives told TMZ.
"RJ Mitte was best known for his role as Walter 'Flynn' White Jr. on AMC’s critically acclaimed, award-winning series Breaking Bad. Drawing from his own experience living with cerebral palsy, Mitte brought authenticity to the role and built a platform on disability awareness and inclusion."
"Beyond entertaining friends and family around the world, he served as an ambassador for United Cerebral Palsy and Shriners Children’s."
Mitte was engaged to Kennedy Suarez.
Heartbreaking. RIP.

art form critics that are also non genre fans have the absolute worst taste
you would get better takes on techno from a Tibetan priest than you would from Anthony Fantano
yea liking femboys is obviously gay
what’s hard to categorize is liking MtFs or lady boys specifically
cause it’s not straight but no real gay man is touching that with a 10 foot pole either
it exists outside the straight gay dichotomy as another 3rd thing
we need to kill video essayists
right or left doesn’t matter
this is a bipartisan issue
In 2026, if you as a screen monkey don’t have a clear stance on every ethnic feud in the zeitgeist they literally kill you
Glen Powell is staying quiet on politics in interviews because "over time I realized that politics divide people."
"People trying to prove their point — for me, it’s the worst version of a conversation. I genuinely do not like the discourse. It’s not as healthy as it once was. [Engaging in politics] is not presently possible. I applaud people for jumping into those things and fighting for what they believe in. If I were a political person, I would be talking about it. For me, my calling is elsewhere.” (via Esquire)
