A former Google CEO revealed how excited he is for you to be ruled by robots

In a rare moment of honesty, a high-profile Democrat revealed the left’s vision for governing in the future, and it is just as disturbing as you can imagine.

Eric Schmidt is your prototypical coastal elite whose God complex may rival Barack Obama’s.  The former Google CEO and Hillary Clinton crony shared the horrifying details of America’s future when discussing his new book about artificial intelligence.  Schmidt explains how a computer program called AlphaZero dominated the previous robotic chess champion, Stockfish.  What impresses Schmidt is that the AlphaZero program came up with unorthodox ways to win these chess matches, such as sacrificing its queen to achieve victory.

The daily battle to keep people alive as fentanyl ravages San Francisco’s Tenderloin

It’s 9am in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district and sleeping bodies line the sidewalks as Felanie Castro sets out on her route in Glide Memorial church’s harm reduction van.

Along Ellis Street, hungry people queue up for the church’s daily breakfast of buns, hard-boiled eggs and plastic-wrapped muffins. Down the block, a fire department truck, part of a city response team, awaits the day’s first drug overdose call.

This neighborhood and the adjoining South of Market (SoMa) district have become ground zero in an opioid overdose crisis that is killing thousands of California residents, including many experiencing homelessness. In the past two years, more than 1,300 people have died of overdoses in San Francisco, a rise driven by the emergence of fentanyl, a super-potent synthetic opioid that’s 50 times stronger than heroin. Nearly half of those deaths have occurred in these two hard-hit neighborhoods alone.

‘Environmental extremist’ group leader Joseph Dibee pleads guilty to arson

An environmentalist saboteur pleaded guilty to his role in a pair of arson attacks on animal-processing facilities years ago — as a part of a domestic terrorism ring known as “the Family,” federal prosecutors said.

Joseph Mahmoud Dibee admitted to working with at least 15 others as members of the Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front to destroy the Cavel West Meat Packing Plant in Oregon in 1997, as well as a government-run wild horse facility in California in 2001, according to the Department of Justice.

Indigenous, racialized, LGBTQ groups and sex workers say online hate bill makes them hateful

Indigenous, racialized, LGBTQ groups and sex workers criticize online hate bill

OTTAWA – Members of the LGBTQ community, Indigenous people and racialized groups fear a proposed law tackling online harm could disproportionately curtail their online freedoms and even make them police targets, responses to a government consultation have warned.

The documents, revealed through an access to information request, contain warnings that federal plans to curb online hate speech could lead to marginalized groups, including sex workers, being unfairly monitored and targeted by the police.

What @LibsOfTikTok exposed – Pedophilia, sex liberation for kids — these were not innocent teachers

Any number of stories could be written about Taylor Lorenz, the Washington Post journalist who covers internet culture. Lorenz — who yesterday raised the hackles of social media for publishing a story revealing the identity of the person behind popular right-wing Twitter account @LibsOfTikTok — is a not merely the chronicler of our too-online age but its fascinating byproduct.

Rupa Subramanya: Smearing Pierre Poilievre because many of those at his rallies are white is itself racist

The idea that the rightness of a cause is to be judged by the demographic makeup of those who appear to support it, a common assumption on the left, is itself racist

As Pierre Poilievre crisscrosses Canada, very much the front runner in the Conservative leadership race, he continues to attract large crowds wherever he goes. On April 12, he addressed a large gathering at Spruce Meadows, on the southern edge of Calgary, where around 5,000 people came out to hear him address a range of issues, from pandemic lockdowns and restrictions, to the Freedom Convoy protests, inflation and bitcoin.

WAPO draws attention to left wing lunatics in failed hit piece on Libs of TikTok

This comes to us via Twitchy – Serial troll and all-around harpy from Hell Taylor Lorenz doxxes @LibsOfTikTok not even a MONTH after weepy appearance on MSNBC playing the victim

Meet the woman behind Libs of TikTok, secretly fueling the right’s outrage machine

On March 8, a Twitter account called Libs of TikTok posted a video of a woman teaching sex education to children in Kentucky, calling the woman in the video a “predator.” The next evening, the same clip was featured on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News program, prompting the host to ask, “When did our public schools, any schools, become what are essentially grooming centers for gender identity radicals?”

Libs of TikTok reposts a steady stream of TikTok videos and social media posts, primarily from LGBTQ+ people, often including incendiary framing designed to generate outrage. Videos shared from the account quickly find their way to the most influential names in right-wing media. The account has emerged as a powerful force on the Internet, shaping right-wing media, impacting anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and influencing millions by posting viral videos aimed at inciting outrage among the right.

At 8:15 almost every evening I post a Libs of TikTok vid. She does us an invaluable favour by watching the loons in all their glory and providing us the highlights. Anyone who has seen the vids knows how central to the left are the outright demented.

I guess when you’re owned by one of the world’s plutocrats there is nothing to be done but punch down.

Check out Libs twitter feed, worth your while.

A Shooter Puts Critical Race Theory into Practice

NYC Dems were too busy fighting white supremacy to stop a black supremacist terrorist.

Mayor Eric Adams, who had called white people “crackers”, claimed that he needed his brother to head his security because of an “increase in white supremacy” in New York City.

The New York City Board of Health falsely claimed that racism was a “public health crisis” and a public school told parents to abolish their “whiteness”.

When ‘white’ becomes an epithet

Conservatives must rebut the equation between whiteness and evil

Since the 1980s, conservatives have warned about the academic left’s “deconstruction” of Western culture. The fetishization of race and sex was shrinking our inheritance to a cartoonish morality play, they alleged. Academic identity politics would not stay put; its foundational conceits would migrate into the world at large.

Such warnings had no effect. Corporations, law firms, banks, tech companies, publishers, museums, orchestras and theater troupes now routinely denounce the alleged racial oppression that is said to be endemic to the United States in particular, and to the West more broadly.

Networks SKIP Sentencing of Gay Democrat Mega-Donor in Meth Overdose Deaths

On Thursday night, Fox News anchor Bret Baier filed a short item on wealthy gay California Democrat mega-donor Ed Buck being sentenced to 30 years in prison for the methamphetamine overdose deaths of two black men. ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS broadcasts haven’t touched it. Buck had donated $500,000 to mostly Democratic causes since 2000.

Averting Our Eyes – The New York subway shooter’s delusions were likely fed by the relentless cultivation of racial resentment.

Had a white male entered a New York subway car in a construction vest and gas mask, carrying a hatchet, a 9-millimeter handgun, extended ammo magazines, gasoline, fireworks, and two smoke grenades; had he then shot off at least 33 rounds, hitting ten people, the Biden administration and the media would have immediately raised an alarm about white nationalist violence. The shooter’s race would have led every story about such an attempted massacre; pundits would have immediately speculated about hate crime and domestic terrorism.

They should check in with Justin Trudeau he’s practically an expert in the cultivation of racial resentment.

Environmentalists Want Us to Freeze, Starve, and Die

 

They can’t bear people living guilt-free lives.

Every now and then someone pipes up to point out that if environmentalists really want to lower carbon, they’re going to have nuclear. And they’re promptly buried in a tsunami of outrage (“Nuclear? Do you want us all to die?”) and spin (look at this blog post sponsored by a solar panel company about how well solar panels work). The obvious answer is that environmentalists, like all lefties, don’t actually care about the things that they claim to care about.
