Bring back insane asylums, workhouses, and vagrancy laws. There's nothing kind or compassionate about letting mentally-ill drug addicts roam the streets like 28 Days Later. And it makes for a terrible city experience for everyone else too.

I was surprised how bad it was just walking from the hotel to the Rails World venue. One strung-out guy wanted to fight me for some reason, another was swinging wildly and swearing profusely. Lots of zombie vibes too. Whatever Austin is doing, it's not working.

IT BEGINS Swedish police have opened an investigation into suspected election fraud in the Stockholm area that includes the suburbs of Rinkeby and Tensta. The left got almost 95% of the votes in the election districts of central Rinkeby and Tensta. Reports of pre filled ballots, voters receiving instructions by phone on how to vote and more. This is developing to a major scandal and it is shocking how little the media is reporting on this internationally.

🚨#BREAKING Outrage is erupting after an 11-YEAR-OLD BOY was stopped by police, FINGERPRINTED, and ordered to court for riding his dirt bike to go FISHING... ...300 FEET FROM HIS OWN HOUSE!!! They TOWED HIS BIKE with a city WRECKER. An officer warned him he'd get a WARRANT if he didn't show up, he'll have to miss school for it. His name is Cade, he's 11 years old, a sixth grader in Oviedo, Florida. His dad helped him start a little summer business selling squirrel tables and Cade worked all summer long, he saved up $900 and he bought that bike himself. An 11-year-old entrepreneur, in 2026. We should be putting this kid on a FREAKING POSTER!!!! On Labor Day, Cade grabbed his fishing pole and rode toward the pond at Sweetwater Park, he was on the shoulder of the road, about 300 FEET from his house. Why not the sidewalk? His answer: "If I go on the sidewalk, I can only go 10mph, and also it's going to scare the pedestrians." An 11-year-old thinking about pedestrians' safety! Then, an Oviedo police officer pulled him over. Asked him for his license, his registration, his proof of insurance. THE KID IS ELEVEN. Then they fingerprinted him. Wrote him a citation with a mandatory court date and told this little boy, on camera, "You have to show up, OK? Or they're going to put out a warrant for you." Then they called in the city tow truck!!!!!! His dad's words: "They called in the city wrecker for this little, tiny electric bike and winched it on up there." Next Tuesday, Cade has to skip school to stand in front of a judge. Yes TECHNICALLY the police have a point under Florida law, but where was the common sense?!!!! Cade now says: "Now I'm kind of scared to ride my dirt bike." A Virginia mom got a criminal record for letting her son walk to a pond, two little girls in Pennsylvania got hauled into court over a broken swing, and now an 11-year-old in Florida gets printed for riding to go fishing. We are criminalizing childhood in this country. Even THE TOWN MAYOR called Cade a "good kid." She's right. ...and for the love of God, somebody give this kid his bike back. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!

Personally find this to be very binary... There are way more opportunities if you think just a little longer.

A CS undergrad asked me where he could have most effect in the AI age. I said probably at either extreme: either close to the technology, actually making LLMs, or close to the customer, using AI to give them exactly what they want. Or maybe both if you can stretch that far.

🚨🇺🇸🇺🇸 DATAREPUBLICAN 2.0 LAUNCH, FEATURING THE EFFECTIVE ALTRUISM (EA) EXPLORER 🇺🇸 The website redesign has finally landed thanks to @watilo ! For a decade, one small ideological network has been taking over AI governance. Chances are, if you've heard of AI policy, AI ethics, AI safety - these groups are dominated by this ideology. This ideology is called: Effective Altruism. Three weeks ago, Effective Altruists (EAs) showed their hand when they started calling for a moratarium on AI development. Since them, I've been building out this map to show the circularity of their ideology. Let's take one example. Holden Karnofsky. Defends the moral worth of digital people ... that's right, he wrote an article on why AI "people" should be assigned value as if they were living humans. Karnofsky co-founded two major EA philanthropies, GiveWell and Open Philanthropy. Subsequently went to work for METR, a central "independent" AI research nonprofit. And for good measure - recently announced a leave of absence to work on AI safety. Funding, policy, research, safety all in the same person. And he's far from the only one. EAs have created a closed-circuit network because they believe they're right; ergo, they should be in charge. The goal of launching this project was to expose all this circularity. Sam Bankman-Fried was only the beginning. With the EA Explorer: * 🌐 Read an introduction to Effective Altruism in their own words. * 🔥 Explore verified quotes. Again, their words, not mine. * 🖥️ Explore the network of connections. UI improvements still in progress. * 🖨️ Print out networks so you can study them offline (or run them through AI) 👇 Try it now (link in next post):

But wait, there’s more… Another prominent Minnesota Democrat has surfaced in Nimco Ahmed’s political past: Amy Klobuchar. Ahmed appears to have worked on Klobuchar’s first U.S. Senate campaign in 2006. Other articles identify her as a staffer. Campaign finance records suggest she was paid nearly $8,000. The Klobuchar and Flanagan campaigns have not responded to requests for comment.

I'm quote-posting this again today because that's just how angry I am over this despicable travesty. These Hollywood filth are insulting and demeaning every American military member who ever took that oath with actual meaning and consequences. These "actors" can say these things with no worries as they simply face no actual consequences from their faux "oath." When Robert De Niro and Jamie Lee Curtis are busy dodging IEDs and living in the dirt, let me know. Veterans, they are mocking us. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Now, you can understand why the democrats have been attacking me in Pennsylvania. We uncovered 371,595 non-citizens & persons who are “unable to read, write, and understand the English language” in Philadelphia.

I think there’s so many things that are just steering us away from that," Smith said.

Here's the truth about the Swedish no-go zones that you won't hear about in the media. Parallel societies are forming where rule of law and democracy is disappearing.

EXCLUSIVE: TALARICO SUPER PAC CAUGHT PAYING VOTERS! "We are paying people $25...a roundabout way of paying people for their votes." Video obtained by Townhall catches Sky McAdams, organizing manager for Texas Majority PAC, on undercover video explaining the scheme to elect Talarico in November. "You can't pay someone to vote for someone" "If I was a Republican, I would be pissed." In the video, McAdams says it’s called a “paid relational program,” which is operated by Relentless that uses software called Rally. In a campaign finance report filed in July, Texas Majority PAC said it paid Relentless $500,000 for a “relational organizing program,” or about 20 percent of all its expenditures up to that point. At $25 per vote, that could be good for 20,000 ballots. Details below 👇
