    I 100% agree with you about Clearview and Palantir. Really, 1,000%.

    Putin, on the other hand, has passed his peak unless he’s gong to get the nukes out. His potential at this point is simply how much longer he is around to keep perpetuating his “3 day war.” Which is not nothing. The guy needs to go the fuck away, and the US justification for using nukes in Japan was that forcing a surrender via attack against civilian targets prevented a years-long slog and invasion. Well, here we are again. Justify whatever is needed to ensure he falls out a window one day this week. The power vacuum without Prighozin around is just going to revert to 1992 style robber barons anyway. It always would. There’s never been an alternative to that.
