Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of β€œhighly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."

Just saying it right out loud now.

I suddenly realized that one of the fundamental tenets of my humanism may have been subconsciously instilled in me

indigenous food security is the key ingredient of a new Tla’amin cookbook Collection of beloved community recipes and harvesting tips hopes to β€˜capture the way that folks are enjoying traditional foods’

The idea for an upcoming Tla’amin cookbook emerged from a series of traditional foods workshops led by community experts.

As the series came to an end, people wanted to document all the skills and recipes they’d learned in one book.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
