You may have been the person that recommended that book in a BI post. The book is a home run.

Thanks. I'll try and take a look at these.

PS: I just noticed I attained L status, same as you. I always considered your posts more entertaining than mine (A picture is worth a thousand words" as they say, and you have an incredible library of apropos photos and videos for a vast number of topics.)
Congratulations on achieving L status! Bearister (He's a L of a guy!) will show you our secret handshake when he has a moment.

I believe it. I've lived most of my life in San Francisco, but I have lived for a time in Los Angeles, New York, and Washington DC, and I've driven my car in all of the cities on this list, except Honolulu and Miami.

My dad's Architect office was on Kearny Street in downtown San Francisco. One day a former Lowell high school classmate of my Dad's dropped by his office to say hello. They hadn't seen each other in 40 years. My Dad said 'Lou" was the nicest guy in the whole class, and everyone loved him. He said that, unfortunately, Lou was also the dumbest guy in their whole high school class.

At one point my Dad asked Lou what he did for a living. Lou told him that he worked for the City. He proudly said he was the Supervisor of the Department of Traffic Planning for San Francisco.

NYC and SF probably have limited options on dealing with this, just because of geography.

Have you driven in the Bay Area recently? It's insanely bad. I agree though, I thought LA would be above SF

This is what a peaceful march or protest looks like. This is the anti-abortion, march for life in DC that for whatever reason, wasn't as interesting to the media as the Minnesota ICE protests.

I believe Colonel Douglass MacGregor mentioned this possibility months ago.

"All officers and soldiers have been ordered to hand in their mobile phones and undergo collective political study. The coup attempt has completely failed.

"This is the most brutal and thorough purge in the history of the Chinese Communist Party and the international communist movement as a whole. It is also a direct manifestation of a structural collapse within the CCP's military. The scale and intensity of Xi Jinping's purge now far exceed those of Stalin and Mao Zedong. "

"Alex Honnold reportedly received a mid-six-figure sum from Netflix to free solo climb the Taipei 101 skyscraper in Taiwan.

Key details regarding his payment for the live event, titled Skyscraper Live, include:
Estimated Amount: Reports estimate his payout to be between $400,000 and $600,000.

Honnold's Perspective: He described the payment as an "embarrassingly small amount" when compared to the multi-million dollar contracts of mainstream athletes, such as Major League Baseball players.

Willingness to Climb: Honnold stated he would have performed the climb for free if given building permission without a TV production, noting he was being paid for the "spectacle" rather than the climb itself.

Event Details: The climb took place on January 24, 2026 (local time in Taiwan), and was streamed live globally on Netflix. Honnold reached the top of the 1,667-foot building in 1 hour, 31 minutes, and 34 seconds."*
AI Overview




*In 2004, French urban climber Alain Robert (known as the "French Spiderman") climbed the Taipei 101 building in four hours."

Crazy feat. Good for him, love this guy. I wonder how "live" it was. If he had fallen on a live broadcast, yikes.

Honnhold's amygdala, the brain's fear center has shown very little activity during MRI scans.

He's wired differently.

Crazy, right!

I've read some studies on him and it's absolutely fascinating.

Looks like a made up story to be able to remove people from positions of power. Could be true but would also be straight out of their playbook

The most plausible explanation is that these generals have built up their own fiefdoms and Chinese MIC bubbles, and are getting purged for getting too fat. This also kind of indicates that they're getting prepared for a kinetic war.
