Here. And I’d like to start by noticing that Steve Sailer is obviously Delicious Taco’s dad. Having said this.
Good episode. Lots of engagement which I suppose is a net positive for all involved. Obviously a lot of the injury stems from a distortion. The episode’s content fantasized and in fantasy warped into something constituting a threat (no, an outright assault) to the listener’s person. One can simply listen to the episode and see that some (in fact the bulk) of the negative responses are from people reacting to some spectral absent-presence rather than to what is actually being said over the course of the 2 hour long episode. The voices and the discourse have instead been shaped into sonic receptacle containing the reflection of something wildly ugly. Injuriously ugly.
Past few days have been brutal. Found myself doom-viewing the main sub, should know better at this age. Feels like I’ve been transmogrified into an absurd and wretched thing. Must've transgressed against a gnome or something. Fascinating to think about.
I would like nothing more than to shame you.
Miami Summer is a killer. Urine is blood-orange. And my mother deserves better sons.
Why would A&D do this?
Witnessing the rankest comments. In bygone age I’d found them tolerable. Having imagined them delivered by high society homosexual. A damned dandy; chubby, sinister, and flamboyant. Capri on a stick limply held between index and middle fingers, twirling wrist ash’ing on expensive Persian rug. The blurry ghosts of his mother and the kid brother who drowned in the pond all those years ago glaring at him from far-off corner. Clearing throat he launches into sing-song slander head peeling back cackling at his own wickedness. Vile and venomous but charming. Instead what we get is 30+ year old mentally-ill men. Men whose Twitter activity has atrophied their cock and balls. Genitals withering away like the Worker's State, in its place a gasping cloaca, worry not I can clock em from miles away. The odious cloaca-havers are soon joined by ruined drug-addled children and the other women. They talk about A&D in disgusting ways. This is unfair and nasty. I confess to being angry. Sweating blood-specked kerosene. Let the scent fill up the empty air between us. My wrath singeing those overgrown nose hairs.
Of the two I think Anna is the one that inspires the harshest parasocial spite. So much so that I’d recommend she take some protective measures against evil eye and tongue. Maybe take baths with hyssop herb, rose water perfume, and holy water.
It’s as if Anna Khachiyan is a Giant Floating Vagina with teeth and a noticeable overbite. Viewed from another angle it transforms into a Madonna encircled by cherubim. Perhaps we are cruel to Anna in order to be kind to our mothers.
All very pre-Oedipal.
Had to step back and parse it out. Anna draws a comparison between herself and Sailer while also asking him a great question,
07:12-07:49
Anna: “I started reading it during the pandemic because it was the pandemic. I was pregnant and bored and I really relate to you as a person who everyone thinks is like evil and monstrous on the internet, but is actually like quite agreeable and mild mannered in real life. And I was going to ask you this question last, but I may as well just ask it now. How do you feel about your new found popularity? And especially, how do you feel about the fact that you have been effectively adopted by or identified with the hard right?”
The first part of the above extract, the sympathetic recognition, brings to mind a bit of 20th century Hermetic theory concerning harmful thought-forms. Our unconscious self-destructive impulses animating the fantasy-phantasm of the other. Inhabiting their shape. Gaining a degree of autonomy. This artificial entity is vampiric by default, provoking what the Czech magician Franz Bardon calls a "magical persecutory complex"... He goes into detail about such entities in Step VI of his seminal work, Initiation into Hermetics. Describing different types of artificial elementals and phantasms along with details on how to consciously go about creating and dissipating them. One of those artificial psychic entities, the one that concerns us, he calls the schemata. Bardon details two variants, one connected with paranoid persecutory fantasies and the other with erotic obsession. The first type comes about when someone who is “easily excitable, easily influenced or self-important” (Narcissist?) has a run in with another person who has, to put it mildly, a memorable visage and dark personality. The schemata is born from the phantasm modeled after this demonic-looking disagreeable person. The victim begins to attribute all kinds of minor inconveniences to the influence of the ugly person. Deludes themselves into thinking that the ugly/disagreeable person is a powerful black magician. Everything appears to reinforce their paranoid delusions. The schema grows in power feeding off the anxieties of their creatohost. The person might end up committing suicide. This was the persecutory schemas desire, having achieved its goal Bardon notes, “how great is the shock when such a spirit realizes on the mental plane that he has committed a very successful magical suicide. What a bitter disappointment! The demonic looking person, however, has no idea what happened; he was actually only the means to an end.”
God gave us eyes so that we might notice things.
The way I see it:
Being social animals the subject of our fantasy, of our fixations, is the fantasy of the other. What makes the human Human is not that we desire but rather that we desire the desire of the other. An excess desire. We fantasize about what the other is fantasizing and enjoying. Our fantasy of the fantasy of the other is the outlines a fundamental lack within our person, a negativity. Experienced as a splitting of consciousness. Intuiting this lack, becoming aware of it, and attempting to articulate it, we are self-consciousness. This negativity or void is in psychoanalytic terms, the unconscious. We likewise intuit that there had once been some original state. One without lack and contradiction. A state of fullness, without the division between self and object. A harmonious whole. A pure consciousness or as Freud refers to it in Civilization and its Discontents an oceanic feeling. The Original Desire, one that is authentically my own, which was not the desire of the other but which unites our desires in itself. This desire is the extinction of all desires.
The eye that perceives the lovely is at once the eye that perceives what I lack. Perceiving this lack, which explains my present condition, I covet. This is an evil eye. The lover’s gaze is of the same type as the infirm or pathic gaze. Reminded of Zizek’s formulation of one of Hegel’s insights, “Evil resides in the very gaze which perceives Evil all around itself" itself a variation of Meister Eckhart’s “the eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me.” The recognition of evil, the ability to see and judge evil, stems from our ability to recognize disparity. This disparity is already present within our own person, the split-consciousness. The feeling cognized, the awareness of our condition as beings separated from the whole. The clairvoyance of the tyrant and the philosopher.
Suppose that psychopathology is born from our inability to recognize an image as an image.
I intuit something more in this person, something they’re hiding. It can’t just be envy, no. It has to be because I can feel that this thing they’re hiding is sinister. It can’t just be that I feel animosity towards this person, no. It has to be because this person is evil and not just an isolated evil but rather a symptom of a much larger evil. An evil that is responsible for all the suffering in the World, for why my World isn’t the way it should be. It can’t just be attraction, no. It has to be that I intuit something more in this person, something hidden, that I must destroy in order to go on living.
If vile shit comes to mind (as vile things often do, especially when one is immersed in ambient algorithmically-summoned vileness, namely outrage and atrocity porn) they won't affirm it to themselves or try to justify or rationalize it or present it as a rational political stance. And they don’t abstract this particular form of vileness into the primary lens through which they view and interpret cultural phenomena. Unreflexive racial animosity is ugly and fetid. We’re capable of recognizing it, feeling it, as something pathological. We’re also capable of laughing at it. Laughing at ourselves. Look at what our ladies have to say about Stuart Seldowitz (the dude who went viral harassing a halal street vendor) in I’ll Be Missinger. “He sucks,” “he’s a loser,” “he’s obviously sick,” and that he gives the impression of someone who lives alone, will die alone, and will be found weeks or even months after the fact.
Perhaps Red Scare is special in how it manages to elicit absurd, wildly inappropriate responses from listeners. Vulgar and revelatory was it? Steve Sailer elicits a similar response and has become an expert in turning said absurd reactions to his advantage. Generally the cooler-head in any given exchange. While the other person shouts obscenities at a ghost, smashing fists against the post, looking crazy, like a proper hysteric. Sailer breaks the fourth-wall, making eye-contact with the would-be noticer, with a little shake of the head, a little chuckle, a little shrug… “you’re noticing right? See what I have to put up with? Imagine these people defining my legacy.” Still he seems to take it with the good humor of an uncle who will still call you on your birthday, despite your drunken outburst during holiday get-together he will admit to not having resisted the temptation to provoke you, it use to be fun, recall all the cool bands I introduced you too? We use to be best buds, “do you really think anything I’ve said merits this sort of response? Honestly?”
Has to be a cheap trick. A technique employed by an old trickster in decades long honing of craft. Maybe not. Maybe what we see is precisely what we get. Most of the very upsetting things being jokes sincerely intended to lighten the mood. Steve Sailer doesn’t care about the particular political orientation of his audience. He just cares that he has an audience. Grateful for the fans he has. Nonetheless happy that they’re not seething malcontent racists. Even if one disagrees with the methodology, the heuristic, the conclusions. That’s secondary, perhaps even tertiary to the recognition sought. His craftsmanship as a writer.
Why I loved his conflict with Will Stancil. Stancil inspired a lot of pondering for me. Putting things in place…
01:29:22-01:29:28
Anna: “You come for the race science and stay for the prose-styling and vivid story-telling.”
In trying to survive as a writer exiled from Mainstream Conservative media (ConInc) during the Bush Jr years. In fact, correct me if I’m wrong but the cancelation that actually impacted Steve Sailer, setting him down the path we find him in, was brought about not by blue-haired hall monitor millennial leftists but by his “fellow” Conservatives. I imagine that he just went with whoever was willing to take him adapting to the editorial standards and audience sensibilities of the publications willing to provide him succor. Not charity mind you but an ability to engage in his own little labor of love.
Read some Sailer. Might get into that later. But that’s the initial impression I got from Steve. Would be utterly mortified if memorialized as a Racialist Ideologue rather than as an entertaining and thought-provoking journalist. Think I also benefited from seeing how he’s actually received by people who are navigating through (or in certain cases, are mired in) the marginal “Hard Right”-spaces or the Rightwing Digital Ghetto. End up realizing that he isn’t hateful, that what you see is precisely what you get, that he privileges craft over ideology, that his reception and exile from Neocon dominated media outlets (remember these are the people gushing ecstatic over the US invasion of Iraq, manufacturing consent for our adventures in the Middle East) was exceedingly unfair but that he nonetheless managed to persevere. And that he really never goes beyond Norm McDonald in terms of his sardonic wit or The Boondocks animated series in terms of his criticisms. His normality is a great source of stability and comfort for his readers; “noticing” and speculating about these topics doesn’t necessarily lead to one becoming a seething racist.
Returning for a moment to Will Stancil, this was what he inspired:
As the last man standing I spend countless hours immersed in detailed fantasies about the coming apocalypse and my enemy's bliss. A dumb and wicked happiness proportional to my suffering. Easy to imagine other people happy. Hearts unbroken. Unburdened, hydrated, sexually satisfied, debt-free, lucky, successful in all business endeavors. Brute, jezebel, schemer, parasite, rival, betrayer... the whole lot of them thriving. Frolicking in my mind's eye. When the time comes I won't forget that they were happy while...others...suffered.
Find that trying to void your mind of all thought or sit perfectly still for 10 minutes. End up feeling like something requires much less energy from us than nothing. Causes coalescing. Conspiring, to what ends?
You see. The very same principle appears to be at work here. Same pathological base that undergirds genuine racial or ethnic animosity. Fantasizing about the other’s enjoyment and being unable to distinguish between the persecutory Phantasm and the actual human being whose shape it appropriates.
Had a friend recommend forgetting. Forgetting is a dialectical exercise, first you have to acknowledge the thing living rent free in your head and acknowledge its origins... then you have to take the steps to stop feeding it. Letting the thought-form dissolve. Let it be put to rest. Reminded of the practice Orthodox Christian contemplatives call Nepsis.
Other approaches as well, acknowledging the presence of anima veiled in shadow.
But listen…
The podcasts I consume, are a reflection of me as a person. Being what I associate and consume. What does it say about me in particular? Reveal about me? That they should have Steve Sailer on the pod. Settling down. Perhaps some responses could be understood in this light. That a Sailer episode reflects poorly on the listener. Constituting a great betrayal of the love and energy and time I have dedicated over the years to you.
I’m not a racist.
Show me your likes on Twitter and I’ll tell you who you are. The most punitive and brutal god. The idea of the AI nu-god being this, utilizing that standard, is horrifying. Show me your likes on Twitter and I’ll tell you who you are, everything you are, and whether or not you qualify to live.
Shamed, I quietly remove the upvote I gave to the hysterical person and the downvote I gave to him.
Hysteria like a yawn is an empathic contagion.
Back to Anna it’s not because she’s ugly and it sucks that she might nurse this delusion. I actually think Anna is really pretty. Rather I think it’s because she’s a mom. She registers as a maternal figure. That’s one of the reasons I think people respond to her the way they do. As stated earlier. We are cruel to Anna in order to forgive our moms.
[To be continued: Wherein I say horrible things that should never be said to the people I claim to love. Will also interrogate Sailor Socialism]

Here are all (*) of the new US and Canadian CCS (Level 3 fast-charging) stations that rolled out in April 2024, according to the Department of Energy. You can get the data yourself here.
These chargers are suitable for most new EVs on the market, except for:

1. Tesla drivers who haven't bought the official CCS adapter yet. Certain older Teslas need additional work done to accept the adapter.
2. Leaf owners like me, owners of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, and some owners of older cars that also use CHAdeMO. If you drive such a car, see my matching post in leaf.

Some of these chargepoints will be "refreshes," e.g. the provider replaced them with faster chargers etc. Some may be incorrect. This report is only as good as the Alternative Fuels Data Center data.
There were 330 CCS charging stations with a total of 682 chargepoints added or refreshed in April 2024, which is a major uptick in both stations and chargepoints. There were only 166 new CCS charging stations in April 2023, with only 267 chargepoints. Things are trending dramatically upwards.
Some part of this is due to Tesla Magic Dock stations. Previously Tesla didn't report these to the AFDC as CCS, but now they do. And that makes sense because all CCS drivers can use them.
NOTE: most Tesla Superchargers do NOT have magic dock as of this writing (all those shown in this report should have it). I recommend using PlugShare to locate compatible stations for your vehicle.
(*) "What about other Tesla Superchargers? Can't everybody charge with NACS now?"
It's coming for many makes and models, and for newer Ford models as well as a few other manufacturers charging at v3 and v4 Superchargers is already an option with a free adapter from the automakers. GM should release their adapter in the coming weeks. But since they are not open to all CCS vehicles, this report is not the place for them. Tesla's app provides the best guide to their locations, including locations that work with non-Tesla vehicles.
Other Notes
To streamline this post, multi-chargepoint locations are listed with the number of chargepoints first.
For serious trip planning, I recommend PlugShare. But by all means check out these reported new locations and submit reviews on PlugShare, which makes things better for everyone.
If you'd like to know about new chargers along your routes right away, or just prefer not to check this list monthly when new openings are rare in your area, I've set up a free service that provides email notifications as soon as they open. You can sign up at evpov.com. Or not! I don't really have a business plan here, I built it to help EV owners like myself. PlugShare has a similar feature.

From the story published by Futurism:
As we traced AdVon's web of fake bylines like Damon Ward, it quickly became clear that the company had been publishing content well beyond Sports Illustrated and USA Today.
We found the company's phony authors and their work everywhere from celebrity gossip outlets like Hollywood Life and Us Weekly to venerable newspapers like the Los Angeles Times, the latter of which also told us that it had broken off its relationship with AdVon after finding its work unsatisfactory.
And after we sent detailed questions about this story to McClatchy, a large publisher of regional newspapers, it also ended its relationship with AdVon and deleted hundreds of its pieces — bylined by at least 14 fake authors — from more than 20 of its papers, ranging from the Miami Herald to the Sacramento Bee.
"As a result of our review, we have begun removing Advon [sic] content from our sites," a McClatchy spokesperson told us in a statement, "and are in the process of terminating our business relationship."

I recently went to a Sunglass Hut (SGH) at an outlet mall and took advantage of their "Buy 1, Get X 50% off". I ended up purchasing 3 pair of Oakleys and 1 pair or Ray Bans for ~$550. However, I'm a little hesitant about keeping the pair of Oakleys ($229) that I had to purchase at full price. Oakley sells the same pair of sunglasses for $202 instead of $229 at SGH. So it would make sense to return the pair from SGH and buy the same pair straight from Oakley. If I return this pair that I paid full price for at SGH, will I get the full $229 returned back to me? Or will the amount be less since I got the other 3 pairs at 50% off? Has anyone had any experience like this with Sunglass Hut? TIA

What happened to walls? Almost all new modern houses and apartments are almost pure glass on all available sides. Who needs to have full time view in all directions?
Just saw a new multi million dollar apartment building in Miami, all glass in all directions. Didn't they learn anything from Acapulco? Just a matter of time until a big storm comes and wrecks everything.
Walls should be thick and make of something rock solid, windows should be just a part of the wall that start around waist height and end way before the ceiling, while having an additional metal/wood cover outside the glass.
Privacy, resilience, less heat, cheaper, safer against intruders, can hang a picture, drill, have power outlets - I'll take real walls instead of glass panels any day.

Getting ready to board Sky in Miami on Thursday for a 3 day cruise. Do they have US outlets or do I need to bring a euro adaptor?

Dentro de sus ideas... Se pusieron a revisar mi cuenta de eBay... fue buena idea...
Su problema son los mexicanos con los que comparen informacion. "Tenían una enfermera de Guanajuato que estaba como enferma..."
Que los zapatos Mickey Mouse... son de cuero negro... nadie sabe que tengan arriba... la mujer se me hizo extraña hasta que conocí a las tales Alemanas. Que los italianos denominaron como "Las putas de Pinerolo". Si me contaron toda la historia...
Entonces ya empezaron a parlar...
Dentro de las cosas que tenia en mi cuenta de eBay "que supuestamente revisaron". Era unos lentes ópticos me pidió la tal Tía del gobierno le comprara Oakley. El nombre de usuario que me los vendió se llamaba "ITrustSumi". La tal vieja esa participante de apellido Miyazaki se llama como nombre propio Sumi. X... pobrecita parece una tetereta...
Total... siguieron... "Las lechitas esas Ensure Enlive le comprabas a tu papa... las vendía un nombre de usuario llamado mherrera..." la puta de Bush... apellida como apellido materno "Herrera". La mujer me mando un mensaje hace unas semanas que decía...
"No tienes la menor idea lo que te odia GWB..." "Te tiene una envidia que no tiene puta madre..."
Pero no solamente andaba con ese guey... me enseñaron toda la lista... DJT ese se reía... "Las putas de 50 euros diarios...". Hasta yo le coopero... así como las putas les ponen los billetes en las tangas...
Todo lo que que dice puede ser falaz o no...
Como dijeron... "Tu ya te sabes la entrada al estado de Yucatan..."
"A mi no me interesa... ni me importa..."
Primero que los Croods... antes de la legalidad mira... forzosamente hay un pendejo que te quiere asaltar... "Get some clothes and keep moving..." "De mis últimos recuerdos metí a la sra Susana la mamá de Orlando en una silla de ruedas a la tienda Anne Taylor" o como se escribe... en el outlet Simon De Mercedes... siguieron con la misma mamada...
O como se escriba... que bien hablan... Ann Taylor... Anne Taylor... etc... como se escriba o no eso no va a cambiar su situación... 😂
De ahí... hicieron su película esa de "The Book of Life..." "Un Toro...". Sale el tal español ese Manolo... "Tiene que perdonar! Tiene que PERDONAR!".
Dentro de la serie de Disney de las películas viejitas esta la de "El Toro Ferdinando..." cual "PERDONANDO".... "Tiene una deuda social!!!" Cual deuda social... "El vidrio de Alemania dice la mujer..." "El problema de mi hermano es que regala la droga..."
Cual deuda social?
El que mato a su propia hija se llama "Ignacio..."
"Nos está ignoraaaaaannnndo..."
No mejor me vaya yo a estar BURLANDO... CAGANDO...
No los vaya yo a estar ya INTEGRAAAANNNDO....
Si si me da mucha risa... pero duro...
"Mexico... es el centro del universo..."
"Tu ya te sabes la entrada al estado de Yucatan..."
No me hagan más reír... "Eso diganselo a Tony Garza... a x y... z... gente que ni me interesa quien..."
"Un mexicano puede comprar el banco Banamex... así como un extranjero..."
No ven que como traigo los arreos colgados... ya soy "El mexicano".... vaya a EEUU a de "Extranjero" dijeran analogicamente puede estudiar en "The Royal Masonic School..." pero no... ya tenga que ir a Chalma... chinguen a toda su puta esclava perra madre... a esa ponganle un grillete en el pescuezo...
"No engañan a absolutamente a NADIE"
Utilizing caricaturas para violarla... porque las amantes casadas de nicho... jugaban al "caricachupas... presenta..."
Que risa me da... yo no quiero ni voltear a ver... ni saber....
"Una estirpe de líderes..."
Aha.... "y la cartera....?"
Me da hasta náuseas...
"En el banco Chase de McAllen atendia a mis papás el Ejecutivo de apellido Chapa..."
Nadamas para que se vayan imaginando.
Cual Tony Garza... ahi va empezando la historia...
Eso ya fue antes... falta ahora quieran que nos quedemos aquí para estarnos golpeando... no tiene sentido de nada...
"Ya este mundo... ya giro..." dijeran las canciones...
Que se llamaba como nombre propio... "Florentino Chapa".
Hablo al banco... me contesta un hombre con el tono de voz de el tal "Fallo Suarez" que me encuentro en el casino "Caliente". Aso puta madre...
Cuando me habla mi mamá... "Que estaba en un restaurante con la mamá de Michael Garber en el pueblo de Mandinga..." en donde la dueña del restaurante es la abuelita de "Florencio" alias "El Polen". Así le dicen...
Cosa "Ignorar".
"Pero si te vas al pueblo..." ustedes hechenle ganas todo lo que pueden... porque ahí no voy a regresar JAMAS... "Ni a los velorios..." rompanse su puta madre duro contra una Piedra...
Duro dale y dale que no es mi dirección la que esta en la cuenta del banco. Y que la tal Rosalba era mi mamá...
Toño Treviño tenía un amigo de nombre "Beto Chapa" y el tal Jaime uno de nombre "Beto de Alva".
El segundo mataron a su papá... y se fue a vivir a McAllen... entonces más o menos cuentan de que trata la historia...
"No me dieron el dinero... pero me dijeron a donde no ir..."
Que hay que seguir haciendo... "lo mismo..."
Tarde que temprano se tienen que morir... yo saco mi pasaporte me paso a retirar...
Nadie me puede obligar a participar...
"Cuestión de ignorar..." aprender a ser feliz con lo pequeño... y ahorrar todo lo suficiente para hacer de mi viaje lo más ameno posible...
Y que sigan... duro... de mi parte...
Preocuparte por lo que no puedes controlar... "el último que va a quedar loco soy yo..."
El que rie al último rie mejor...
"El dinero se lo robo la esposa de Robert..." así dijeron... imagínense lo que hablan...
Se lo robo... quien? "Adivina quien..." o la esposa de Robert fue la que se lo robo...
Así se llama el hermano de el socio de obrador el tal Guapillo... y varios...
Informese... cierren puertas y ventanas... les responden... "QUE BUENO QUE TE PASE POR LESBIANA Y POR COCHINA".
haces eso como niña... por lo menos con tus espejos como tu... lo hizo con unas viejas del juvenil que están muertas de hambre... que que iba a pasar...
"QUE BUENO"
ELLA ESCOGIO SUS DEMONIOS... "HIZO A SUS PROPIOS ALIENS..."
"DE LA NADA LOS CONVIRTIO EN ALGUIEN."
Yo como si me se las leyes... pueden ladrarme... jadearme a milimetros enfrente... "Hoy no quiero dormir en la cárcel..." me pongan ahi ya una recamara... "otra ves..." "Te extrañabamos..."
PUNTO FINAL...
Tantas putas para ver shows de lesbianas... esta pobre no se ya ni que opinar... no penso que era la madre de most hijos...
"QUE BUENO POR COCHINA". Si llega ahí ya saben que decirle...
Mi frase favorita...
"ESO NO VA A CAMBIAR SU SITUACION..." 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

This is a repost of a comment I encountered on the JoeRogan subreddit. I suspect it's a regular from /KnowledgeFight. I asked if he would post it here, but I haven't seen it yet, so now I'm including it. It's important. I've changed the formatting, punctuation, spelling, date formats, wording and sentence flow slightly here and there for clarity and accuracy. I've also added footnotes.
Update: I saw the original writer of this comment missed some information, so I've started adding my own paragraphs. Specifically the bit at the beginning.

2006: "John" from California drops a bombshell

On October 10th, 2006, a "John" from California calls into Infowars.
Jumping in at the 01:26:59 mark, we're treated to the following conversation between John and Alex:^[1]
John: Another question or statement. Tonight on Coast to Coast, George Norrie has uh.. Jeffrey Epstein. He's part of the America's Truth Forum.
Alex Jones: Oh, yes. We know Al-Qaeda's got nukes and is going to hit us any minute. Yeah, that's great stuff.
John: Yeah, I don't know if you recently... He has an affidavit out on the Internet from Palm Beach Police Department. He has a fetish for 14, 16-year-old girls coming into his house, giving him massages and having [a] fun time. So...
Alex Jones: I don't know anything about that, sir. Why don't you send me some information? You can send it to Aaron at Infowars.com or Kevin at Infowars.com. We all read it. We all share each other's email addresses. But thank you for the call. Let's go ahead and talk to Jim in Texas.
Interesting, don't you think? Cuts him right off. John deserves some credit here, wherever he is. Then again, he's calling into Infowars, I probably shouldn't get my hopes up.

2015: "My gosh, Paul... What do you think is going on?"

When the Guardian article about the Epstein lawsuit was published on January 2nd, 2015, Jones clearly didn't remember this conversation, but then again, why would he? He cut off his guest.
On the January 2nd, 2015 episode of InfoWars, Alex read from an article by "Curt Nemo" about a lawsuit against Prince Andrew alleging that he raped girls along with Jeffrey Epstein. Alex stumbles over Epstein's name (calling him "Espen"), and ends the piece by saying: "Who knows if this is true, but my gosh, Paul, we're gonna go to break in a few minutes, but just the firestorm of pedophile news and Saville having high-level access to all these royals above, even the Secret Service. What do you think is going on?"
This from the guy who claims to have been talking about Epstein since 2008.
On January 22-23, 2015, Gawker (now defunct) published the Epstein flight logs and Epstein's black book.^[2][3] It wasn't even discussed on InfoWars. Alex really didn't talk about Epstein until 2016, and it was mostly in the context of disavowing Trump's association with Epstein, since Cenk of TYT had an argument with Jones about it. "Centrist" Alex Jones only paid attention when he started carrying water for Trump, distracting folks from the obvious and close connection between Trump and Epstein — something he does to this day when an Epstein story is in the news. There is zero mention of Epstein before January 2016 on either prisonplanet.com or infowars.com. Ghislaine Maxwell's name wasn't mentioned on InfoWars until Roger Stone brought her name up on October 9th, 2016.^[4]
Then you have to wait all the way until October 6th, 2017 until the next Ghislaine mention, and it's not Alex, but Mike Cernovich. You have to wait until August 9, 2019 until Alex mentions her name.^[5]
If you listen or read the transcripts, it sounds like this is all brand new information to Alex. Except, her name had been public for more then a decade at that point. It's clear that other media outlets, such as the Miami Herald, Gawker and the UK press were the actual drivers of revealing the Epstein story.
Jones' only 'contribution' to the Epstein story is adding a bunch of ridiculous fake details in 2016-2017, such as when he just made up a claim that Israeli intelligence was blackmailing Hillary with tapes from Little St. James. As usual, Jones just read some headlines and made up some nonsense long after real journalists did their work.

• 1. Chicago Bears (via CAR) – Caleb Williams (USC) – QB (Unchanged from v1)

Nothing really to say here. It’s as clear as day this is the pick

• 2. Washington Commanders – Jayden Daniels (LSU) – QB (Unchanged from v1)

This will really be the pick that shapes the draft as a whole. A lot of people have Maye going at number two to the Commanders, but Daniels is picking up steam as the potentially 2nd best option to go with too. The Commanders have kept this close to their chest so far, but my belief is that is because they are going to go with Daniels.
V2 Note: The noise on this is now VERY loud. They are likely taking Daniels.

• 3. New England Patriots – Drake Maye (NC) – QB (changed from V1)

In my V1 I was very strongly opinionated that NE would trade with the Vikings, but the more we hear, the more we now seem to be hearing that they are not going to trade because the Vikings and Giants won’t make the payment terms that NE is demanding. That means they are locking in on Maye.

• 4. Arizona Cardinals – Marvin Harrison Jr (Ohio State) – WR (unchanged)

The Cardinals will have had conversations with the Vikings no doubt, but the chance to pick up a generational Wide Receiver of this calibre comes along rarely. They take the chance to give Murray his best WR since NUK.
V2 Note: A lot of people think Giants or Vikings will trade with Arizona. I think they will still hold firm and focus on a generational talent.

TRADE
Harbaugh is a tough man to read, but one thing we know is that his main love of running the ball is possibly going to overcome any desire to pick a WR here. If there was a top Running Back available he'd take them here and not even blink, but there isn’t one. The phone is ringing off the hook in LA, as Giants, Vikings, and even the Jets try to make the call to move up and get their guy. Two of them will be successful in different ways…
LOS ANGELES CHARGERS SENDS:
Pick #5
NEW YORK GIANTS SEND:
Pick #6, Pick #70

• 5. New York Giants (via LAC) – JJ McCarthy - QB (different from V1)

Chaos reigns over draft boards across the land. The Giants are not completely unexpected to be considering taking a QB this draft, but not many have them going for McCarthy, and not this early. They are going to move on from Danny Dimes, mostly to avoid that massive $25m injury guarantee he has hanging over their heads for 2025, where the QB class isn’t as strong too. Giants will likely sit McCarthy for as long as they dare let Jones play and risk injury, but unless a miracle season is on the cards, they will see the season out with McCarthy starting.
V2 Note: Originally I had JJ falling to Giants at 6, but the Pats sticking at 3 means they need to avoid the Vikings jumping them on JJ too.

TRADE
The Chargers are Belle of the Ball. They know exactly how far back they are willing to fall and agree to the Jets second offer… The Vikings will baulk at the price now that the top 4 QBs are gone, and know they’re getting one of the others.
LOS ANGELES CHARGERS SENDS:
Pick #6
NEW YORK JETS SEND:
Pick #10, Pick #72, 2025 4th

• 6. New York Jets (via LAC via NYG) - Malik Nabers (LSU) – WR (different from v1)

The Jets need to give Rodgers targets. Nabers is considered by some as a better option than MHJ. Either way, the Jets are making this move to grab whichever of the two is available here, and they would have been trying to see if Arizona were open to moving, but the cost of entry is too high due to the QB race. V2 note: I had Jets and Giants flipped at this point in V1.But with the same players taken.

• 7. Tennessee Titans – Joe Alt (Notre Dame) – OT (unchanged from V1)

Only way this pick isn’t happening is if Chargers hold firm because they want him, but after all that trading I just can’t see them doing anything else here,

• 8. Atlanta Falcons – Rome Odunze (Washington) – WR (unchanged from V1)

Falcons could go Edge or possibly even look to boost their Oline for Cousins. But with a new QB in town, the goal is to make the most of him, and supply him with an outlet. If the Jets don’t move for Nabers then they will take Nabers here instead.

• 9. Chicago Bears – Dallas Turner (Alabama) – EDGE (unchanged from V1)

Bears could look at a few options themselves here. Trading back also not entirely off the table too, but ultimately I see them taking Turner to fix some weak gaps in their Defense.
TRADE
The Chargers are not finished pushing their luck. More teams start calling them knowing that they’re in the hunt for a lot here. Vikings in the end offer a one place movement…..The Chargers are now done with moving down…
LOS ANGELES CHARGERS SEND:
Pick #10
MINNESOTA VIKINGS SEND:
Pick #11, Pick #108, Pick #167

• 10 Minnesota Vikings (via LAC via NYJ) Michael Penix (Washington) - QB (Different from v1) The Vikings cannot gamble on getting jumped another time. I don’t think they like Nix, and the move to get #23 was designed to get one of the top QB’s, and now they have fallen short of getting the declared “top 4” guys, they MUST ensure they get Penix. The Chargers happily drop back one more spot and take more picks to then build their own package options for later. Vikings now have a Franchise QB to move on from Cousins.
  
• 11 Los Angeles Chargers – Brock Bowers (Georgia) – TE (same player - different position from v1) The Chargers amazing gamble pays off. Bowers was near the top of their board of needs, and even after moving back he remains in play and they get him. Even in spite of the belief that taking a TE this early is rarely worth it, this is about making sure they get the guy they want most. And moving back now puts him at risk.
  

TRADE The Broncos are in absolute no mans land. They have got to repair the damage from the aftermath of last season and Wilsons legendary dead cap this season. There are many who would say it would be lunacy not to move up for a QB, but Broncos are the prime “Tank Job” candidate this season. They begin shopping this pick around and they find a willing partner in the Eagles.
DENVER BRONCOS SEND:
Pick #12
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES SEND:
Pick #22, Pick #53, Pick #172

• 12. Philadelphia Eagles (via Den) - Jackson Powers-Johnson (Oregon) – IOL (unchanged from v1)

The Eagles are willing to answer the Broncos call as they need to begin life after Kelce. They have plenty of picks this draft to still not feel the pain of giving up these 3rd and 5th round picks. They take the highest rated Interior Lineman (and a future top Center) of the draft to plug their HOF shaped hole. JPJ likely moves in at Guard to start his career, but as an option he is a great O-Line depth and starting piece that is too good to pass on.

• 13. Los Angeles Raiders – Quinyon Mitchell (Toledo) – CB (unchanged from v1)

The Raiders need a Quarterback. And watching the Broncos move back, they could be really tempted to snipe one of Nix or Penix here, but they don’t bite. They also have plenty of options for OT or Edge here too. They hold their focus on their biggest need in defence which is the Defensive Backs and avoid the temptations that are now in front of them.

TRADE
I said they were done moving down. I didn’t say they were done. Joe Hortiz and his team have been busy tonight, and now they’re done…. The Saints are in a position of hell. Their cap can-kicking is finally running them down, and they have a lot of picks that are day 3, but could do with being more involved in Day 2.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS SEND:
Pick #14
LOS ANGELES CHARGERS SEND: Pick #37 Pick #69 Pick#72 Pick #108

• 14. Los Angeles Chargers (via NO) – J.C. Latham (Alabama) – OT (different from V1)

There is a growing belief that the Chargers might even take an OT way earlier at Pick #5. I believe the night will be built entirely around making sure they get both Bowers and the highest available OT around this spot. Chargers get some extreme block improvement due to both picks they have made. The Chargers also still retain 7 more picks, including pick #70, and can now really build up the roster with young talent (or possibly make another move up in Rounds 3 or 4 if they see someone they really like there).

• 15. Indianapolis Colts – Terrion Arnold (Alabama) – CB (unchanged from v1)

Back-to-back Bama picks here, and the Colts take someone that is highly touted as possibly even the top defensive player outright, and certainly a high potential player.

• 16. Seattle Seahawks - Taliese Fuaga (Oregon State) – OT (unchanged from v1)

There’s been a strange campaign lately that suggests the Seahawks should take a Quarterback this year. They seems to be a classic “misdirection” that they are not dispelling because they absolutely should not do that. Instead, Smith needs protection, and Fuaga gives him that.

• 17. Jacksonville Jaguars – Jared Verse (Florida State) – EDGE (unchanged from v1)

Pretty simple pick for the Jags here. They desperately need to improve their pass rush and run stop game after some FA losses. They could be tempted to grab one of the top remaining WRs now too, but the class is deep and they will get their shot at one in Round 2.

• 18. Cincinnati Bengals - Troy Fautanu (Washington) – OT (unchanged from v1)

Joe Burrow’s contract is now the potential anchor around the Bengals neck. He has got to be on the field all season for them to realise their ambitions of championships. To do that, this Offensive Line must improve.

• 19. Los Angeles Rams – Nate Wiggins (Clemson) – CB (unchanged from v1)

Rams need Quality and fresh blood in their Defensive Backs. They’ve so far signed none in Free Agency and all indications are Corner will be their main focus this draft. Wiggins is Best Remaining.

• 20. Pittsburgh Steelers - Brian Thomas Jr. (LSU) – WR (unchanged from v1)

Steelers just grabbed Russell Wilson, and lost a few options in Free Agency (plus traded Dionte Jackson). They are going to want to maximise their chances at using him and determine early if they dare renew with him. Brian Thomas is an excellent option.

• 21. Miami Dolphins - Amarius Mims (Georgia) – OT (unchanged from v1)

Dolphins will want to build on getting their first truly full season of output from Tua, and they will want to protect him further. Mims could even move to Interior for a season, but belief is he will move straight in to the OT role.

• 22. Denver Broncos (via Phi) - Kool-Aid McKinstry (Alabama) – CB (unchanged from v1)

McKinstry has come out of the Alabama Pro Day very strong. His 40-time plus his drills have supposedly caught the eye of a few teams. It’s possible he might even be the one that the Rams take at 19 but I’m not sure he’s done enough to shoot much higher. Essentially Broncos will go opposite of Rams here between McKinstry or Wiggins.

• 23. Minnesota Vikings (via Hou via Cle) - Graham Barton (Duke) – IOL (different from v1)

The Vikings are now left holding onto a pick they likely started the day not expecting to still have. They could debate moving it, but in reality they now have a great set of options ahead of them. With Jefferson seemingly with one foot out of the door, they could now look to targets, but inside look at their OLine and will see if they can flip JJ into a set of 2nds and 3rds.
*24. Dallas Cowboys - Tyler Guyton (Oklahoma) – OT (unchanged from v1)
Dallas can go three or four different directions here. They do need to improve the pass protection, and also need to give Dak more outlets to pass it to. The strong depth of the WR class is why I think Guyton will be their choice at this stage, as the drop-off at O Line is a lot sharper, and that might find by #56 that it’s hurt them to not cover the gap in front of Dak.

• 25. Green Bay Packers – Cooper DeJean (Iowa) – CB/S (unchanged from v1)

The Packers are in need of refreshing their secondary, and DeJean is a phenomenal multi-faceted Defensive Back. He can cover all positions back there, and will confuse a lot of QB’s Reads and their Router Runners as he can snap across the field and pick them up better than most seasoned pros can.

• 26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Laiatu Latu (UCLA) – DE/EDGE (unchanged from v1)

Securing Baker has saved Tampa Bay from the trade madness of the QBs this year. They also managed to bring Evans back as well, saving them from the WR rush as well. This has left them in a great spot to start fixing their defence and securing the NFC South for longer term. Latu will grant them some excellent Pass Rush and Run Support, in a Division that is full of O-Line weakness.

• 27. Arizona Cardinals (via Hou) - Byron Murphy (Texas) – DL (unchanged from v1)

This is weird, Murphy absolutely should not fall this far. But the runs on the Offensive Line, WR’s and obviously QB’s, has left him tumbling down the board with every pick. The Cards are also the team that he would best suit as they are probably the team in most need of a powerful Defensive Tackle.

• 28. Buffalo Bills - Xavier Worthy (Texas) – WR (unchanged from v1)

The question is not “will the Bills take a Texas WR”. The question is “which Texas WR will the Bills take”. They could go Mitchell or Worthy here. Worthy’s stock has risen the closer to the draft we get, and he really stood out in the Pro Day as well.

TRADE
The Lions are likely getting a nosebleed at this point. They’re way higher in the pre-trade order than they’ve been in a long, long time. They have watched top talents fall and might feel that the needs they have can be met and pick up another pick along the way too. The Panthers have just seen another Wide Receiver go off the board and now they have #39, the time has come to get their guy before someone else does, and secure a 5th year option as well.
DETROIT LIONS SEND:
#29
CAROLINA PANTHERS SEND:
#33 #101 (4th Round)

• 29. Carolina Panthers (via Det) – Adonai Mitchell (Texas) – WR (unchanged from v1)

Mitchell has been someone that the Panthers fans have been praying for to drop to them at #33. There is a belief that their new GM shares that sentiment, and will move up to get his man, especially easier to justify now he has that other second round pick from the Burns trade too.

• 30. Baltimore Ravens - Ladd McConkey (Georgia) – WR (unchanged from v1)

Those WR’s just keep on going. This could easily be Coleman from FSU as well, but either way, the Ravens need to give Lamar a new pass option.

• 31. San Francisco 49ers - Jordan Morgan (Arizona) – OT/OG (different from v1)

O Line will be a focus in San Fran. They had hoped Barton would continue to fall, but instead settle for Morgan who is also a versatile O Line worker.

• 32. Kansas City Chiefs - Keon Coleman (Florida State) – WR

The rich get richer. Most years where WR is not so stacked, Coleman would go top 20 without blinking. This pick will cover some absolutely scandalous work by Chiefs Wide options last season, and make them somehow stronger than last season as they go for the Three-peat.
ROUND 2

1. Detroit Lions - Chop Robinson (Penn State) – LB/EDGE
   
2. New England Patriots - Kamari Lassiter (Georgia) – CB
   
3. Arizona Cardinals - Bralen Trice (Washington) – EDGE

17. Cincinnati Bengals - Ja'Tavion Sanders (Texas) – TE
    
18. Philadelphia Eagles - Chris Braswell (Alabama) – EDGE
    
19. Pittsburgh Steelers - Kris Jenkins (Michigan) – DL
    
20. Los Angeles Rams - Braden Fiske (FSU) – DL
    
21. Denver Broncos - Trey Benson (FSU) – RB
    
22. Cleveland Browns - Jonathon Brooks (Texas) – RB

• Pizza Hut (Texas, U.S.)
• Papa John's International, Inc. (Kentucky, U.S.)

Using the current and last years championship Nuggets squads, how would they have faired against the full title run of teams led by Lebron?
Factoring this as all players from the nuggets are as is currently and as they played last year. Lebrons teams being judged as is in those title winning years.
Looking at the 2012 Miami Heat team, obviously a Prime Lebron version 2.0 (?) coming off the let down finals a year prior, an absolute monster athletically but not the same outside shooting threat nor nearly as consistent at the line. Defensively a monster and no one is getting anything easy in a transition with him chasing down. You have a still somewhat healthy and prime Wade who is guard sized Lebron in the same regard. Bosh who is now starting the true stretch 5 play to really open things up for Lebron and Wade as well as space the shooting a bit better. Role guys battier Cole Chalmers jones miller know what to do and that’s play off your Batman and Robin.
I think this matchup actually proves to be quite difficult for Miami as they really would have no good option to guard Jokic other than maybe throwing a much stronger and younger Bron on him. The bigs wouldn’t do much for the Heat and knowing they’d have to switch out and guard some amount of a Jokic 5 out I think could make this a toss up series going 7.
The Nuggets wouldn’t have to change much other than maybe having MPJ prove some worth by guarding out on Bosh when he pops. Jokic could probably still rest in the paint with AG guarding Lebron again. Wade vs Murray is probably the most interesting part, if Wade shuts down Murray then maybe the series is far less comp than I’d assume it to be and how well Murray can manage guarding Wade without biting on his frequent pump fakes and the often transition long outlet passing scores.
A year later the same Heat team is back at it again this time with a bit more emphasis on the outside shooting and spacing for Lebron as Wade shows the smallest step of decline due to injury. Bosh however is now fully into his Center role and it’s understood what he needs to do to unlock the rest of the team.
Again I think we fall on the Wade Murray matchup to kinda determine if we are looking at a 6-7 game series or something much more lopsided.
The championship nuggets team just clicked so well and I almost feel like they were akin to the 2013 spurs minus the elite level defense. Still very good and capable but maybe one or two plays really decides the outcome of a key game.
2016 Cavs were just destined it feels, hard to think that either nuggets team beats them but looking at the roster I’d be really interested in seeing if TT could do to some extent to Jokic what D12 did in the Bubble title.
Bubble title team beat the nuggets in the earlier round so I think it still goes lakers.
Curious to hear how other think of a hypothetical nuggets pacing against each of Lebrons title teams.

A note for editorial staff at The Hill, and for FDA chief Robert Califf:
It is amazing how Califf manages to strain at gnats and swallow camels. He agonizes over the inability of US Government to interdict imports of vaping devices. But he also contrives to ignore a growing avalanche of medical collapses and patient suicides among people in agony who are being denied safe and effective opioid pain reliever therapy. The latter problem was created in part by the silence of his own agency concerning the predictable horrors created by so-called "injunctive relief" clauses in the National Opioid Settlement.
Meantime, the Federal Trade Commission, thinks "lack of competition and contracting practices…may be contributing to drug shortages," and is soliciting public comments on that subject. The left hand of the US Government decidedly doesn't know – or care – what the right hand is doing.
We commend to your attention, the following articles and papers that demonstrate the dimensions of the most important – and most willfully ignored – healthcare crisis in America:

View Online Health Care The Big Story Illicit vapes frustrate FDA head What keeps Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Robert Califf up at night? The agency’s struggle to stop illicit vapes coming into the U.S. from China. © AP “If anything would make me sleep less right now this is one of several issues,” Califf told a House panel Thursday. “It's not as if people don’t see it coming in. Boxes full of vaping products were labeled as lanterns.”
During a House Appropriations hearing on the agency’s FY 2025 budget request, Califf said Congress can help the agency cut through red tape to make it easier to seize the products as soon as they arrive in U.S. shipping facilities.
Chinese regulators banned vaping flavors in 2022, Califf noted, so the devices are pouring into the U.S. But he explained that the agency is hampered by legal restrictions.
“We have to go by what's on the label ... it takes weeks to get that fixed and then there’s a timeframe by which if we don't do something the product goes on through” to U.S. shops, he said.
FDA is facing bipartisan pressure to do more to stop Chinese vape products in kid-friendly flavors from entering the market. Despite the FDA issuing a ban on most fruit and mint-flavored e-cigarettes, products continue to flow into the U.S. and become available for purchase.
“FDA’s continued inability to clear the market of illicit tobacco products. I simply do not understand why FDA cannot – or will not – tackle this problem head on and get illicit products out of the marketplace,” said Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), chairman of the appropriations subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development and FDA.
“This should be the Center for Tobacco Products’ number one focus, not dreaming up new rulemakings to further exacerbate black markets," he added.

Centauri Dreams Gaming, the developer and publisher behind the recently-announced "Tycoon Simulator", has confirmed it has signed "multiple advertising deals" with the following companies: energy drinks company Rockstar, Inc and its parent company, beverages giant PepsiCo; The McDonald's Corporation; Nike, Inc, Under Armour, Inc and Ford Motor Co (US).
Centauri Dreams Gaming confirmed the huge news in a recent statement to the media, on its website blog and on its official Twitter account.
Following the recent demise of Ubisoft's The Crew, Tycoon Simulator comes at an interesting time, especially given its huge map and the actual content in the game.
Basically, Tycoon Simulator is no normal game. Scheduled for release on PC, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X in April 2025, it is not just a strategy game, but also doubles up as an actual open world life simulator with a huge campaign story and a world of activities.
Set in the year 2042 in the fictional US megastate of "Califlorida" (a condensed map of Texas, California and Florida), the game's sprawling map size is 26,500 km² (that's more than 3 and a half times larger than the maps of The Crew and The Crew 2 and over 350 times larger than the maps of GTA V and RDR2).
In the game's campaign story, players can either follow the story of Tyler Phelps Jr - a young entrepreneur whose businessman grandfather dies suddenly and leaves him some money on the condition that that he grows the existing business - or Sophie Tanner - a "rich kid" born into a wealthy US business family who decides to "go it alone" and compete with her family.
But wait, you say, it's called "Tycoon Simulator", why does it have an enormous map and will it just be a boring strategy game that I'll get bored of really quickly?
No, Tycoon Simulator is 3 parts Hollywood, 2 parts drama, 2 parts strategy, 5 parts exploration and 4 parts entertainment or something like that. A tentative ESRB rating in the USA and Canada puts it at "Everyone 10+", yet in Europe and the UK, it's "PEGI 16". Australia and Germany have it at "M" and "USK 12" respectively.
You see, Tycoon Simulator isn't a top-down game or a game where you'll spend time just looking at charts or building a city. It's a fully open world game where you can explore on the ground, complete the story campaign and build out your business empire. You can be hands-on, hire associates and manage your empire from afar.
Playing as either Tyler or Sophie, you start out in the fictional city of Dorado Valley and its expansive sprawl and mountains. Dorado Valley appears to be an enormous amalgamation of Greater Los Angeles CA, Orange County CA, Galveston TX, Miami-Dade County FL and Douglas County NE.
Upon seeing the gameplay, you may be taken aback by the freedom in the game and double-check the title, but Tycoon Simulator also doubles up as a life sim. There's entertainmemt and leisure activities available, danger and crime (much like you may encounter in any major city) and tons of things to buy. Players can purchase many personal items, houses and cars (US automobile giant Ford has actually paid an undisclosed amount to have some of its vehicles overtly advertised in the game and featured: for instance, the F350 King Ranch is a favorite in the game and one of Tyler's owned personal vehicles following the inheritance).
As players get richer, they can get bigger and better properties or expand existing ones e.g. build a race circuit on their property, pay for renovations on their mansion or mansions, install a pleasure pool or underground cinema, build a "super mancave" and even start to "live like an Arab prince or a Hollywood movie star".
Tyler's story starts out during an argument with his girlfriend in their downtown apartment which is interrupted by a visit from a couple of attorneys apparently executing his late grandfather's will (an individual who Tyler had never even met). Shocked and needing some time to process the news, Tyler goes to meet his cousin Brogan - who is a Dorado Valley PD cop - during his lunch break. Part of the gameplay trailer shows this and teases what players can expect: a non-linear open world game with a story mode and unrestricted first and third person gameplay with cutscenes and cinematics.
As the game goes on, Tyler can build new businesses, strengthen existing networks or build new ones and acquire or sell off assets or businesses if he wishes. He also has business management software at his disposal and can hire "associates" to "assist" him.
Whilst trying to adhere to the conditions of his grandfather's will, Tyler stumbles upon secrets swept under the rug and a conspiracy which takes him across Califlorida, through the large and sprawling cities and towns, highways and open country roads as he meets strange and unknown individuals and groups, trying to piece together mysteries he uncovers along the way. His business dealings also sometimes see him encounter competition and trouble which goes beyond the courtroom and boardroom and a lot of drama involving private detectives, investigative journalists, animal rights and environmental activists and unorthodox businessmen.
Playing as Tyler, players can also set up shop in Star City - a larger-scale version of Las Vegas, Nevada - but ventures are more risky out there.
Because the map is so large, apart from driving, Tyler can also fly or be flown as a passenger and based on the enormous map of Califlorida seen in the trailer (thanks to viewers watching the trailer at 0.25x speed on YouTube), there appears to be "at least" 8 large international airports, 6 regional airports, 10 airfields or airstrips and 18 heliports. Some of these can actually be invested in or bought by Tyler. An early mission features the Carlton Jetport, an ageing private airport 40 miles east of Valle Dorado. Tyler is asked by an oil investor, a "dodgy" property developer and a local politician to buy the airport, renovate it and keep it open, but Tyler, cautious and suspicious by nature, decides to investigate further.
Although the game's map isn't quite as large as American Truck Simulator's or Star Citizen's, there is a lot more activity, the graphics and gameplay are far, far ahead and realistic and it's not a driving or racing game; it's pretty much an all-in-one game set in a not-too-distant future.
Part of the trailer also sees Tyler walking into a coffee shop in a city to meet a journalist from "Great Coast City" (in the game's lore, it appears Great Coast City is actually New York City and in postcards, on billboards, newsreels and on newspapers, you sometimes see the Empire State building or Lady Liberty or the outline of the skyline) and you can pretty much do nearly anything in the game.
Tyler can walk around and explore his surroundings with no boundaries if he decides not to drive and multiple activities outside of the main campaign exist. Tyler can workout (and he can see his fitness profile and fitness bars and build or lose muscle), go to restaurants or fast food outlets, clubs and bars, attend festivals or the odd drive-in theater here and there and hang out with friends. He can also go and watch football games, basketball games, baseball or soccer games, rally car events or a local speedway or stunt event.
In terms of background activity and ambience, there is a lot going on across the map. For example, upon first entering Las Palmas - a huge metropolitan sprawl 120 miles west of Valle Dorado with wide boulevards, large lakes and even larger mountains and a massive theme park - via The Ocean Bridge (a 6.7 mile-long cable-stayed bridge with five towers), Tyler passes a huge protest where dozens of protesters are seen holding up placards calling for "Benson" to resign (Benson appears to be the African-American Mayor of Las Palmas who seems to be accused of sexually harassing a number of women as well being at the center of a corruption probe dating back to his time in the city's planning department) and some protesters are actually seen scuffling with cops. Players can just drive past the protest or hop out and walk amongst the throngs of people and watch and hear them chanting and see protesters scuffling with cops and irritated drivers.
Another example of background activity and ambience is when Tyler is in Central City (which appears to be based off of Greater Houston TX, Vancouver BC and Portland OR). As he's walking back to his hotel room after a one-night stand with a local, he stumbles upon a crowd with people screaming and gawking up at Atlantis Tower Two, a 24 storey-tall highrise standing in front of Atlantis Tower One (a 400 meter-tall 92-floor skyscraper). Passersbys have seen a man dangling from the 18th floor and it appears he's threatening to jump. Tyler can just ignore this background acitivity or hang around. As he hangs around, the crowd gets much much bigger, cops turn up and set up a cordon and two news choppers circle the area, with news crews arriving on the ground. On Tyler's phone, players can even tune into news feeds with anchors and reporters reporting on the event and he can watch everything unfold.
These are just many of the goings-on occurring across the map as Tyler goes about his life growing his business empire and enjoying his life as a Califlorida resident.
When Tycoon Simulator is released, it may well be the best game to exist since the beginning of time, but don't worry, you won't need a NASA-grade supercomputer to run it, as it's been optimized for consumer devices (PCs and consoles) and created primarily for the purpose of etertainment tailored for consumers and gamers alike.

Hello Fellow Citizens,
I've been following NYCFC since their start and am a new season ticket holdethird rail official member. I've found myself with a lot of takes after every matchday with little to no outlet to pour them out to so, welcome to Pigeon 'pinions. I have a brief journalistic background so who knows maybe this will catch on. But enough about me, let's get to the bullshit...
(Writing this after Matchday 8)
Taking yesterday's win with a grain of salt* Yes we fumbled through a win with two confident goals, but really weren't comfortable against a team with less than 5 points from 8 games.
- We very well might have zero points ourselves without Santi and Freese.
I hate to say it, but what a subpar squad. Yes, issues are rampant throughout but these two are carrying this team through every single game. They have been standout imo.
- Hot take incoming---Wolf in particular is underwhelming.
For a player coming from a pretty well known European club, you'd expect a bit more from him. His movement and effort off the ball are clear, but his skill on it are lacking. He'll drive at a defender on occasion, but it usually ends up in a pass back or loss of possession. Not too impressed. Reliable to say the least.
- Bakrar...
Man oh man guys. I've been to every home game and I don't think this guy's had a proper shot on target yet. Funny thing is, he's not bad at football. He's decent at dribbling, super strong which helps with hold up play, and passes pretty well for a striker. It's. Just. His. Shot. He gets in the right positions often but I'm not kidding when I say some high schoolers could have put his shots away. They are pitiful. Call me crazy but I'd give him a shot in another position. Either swap him with Santi or drop him into another midfield-ish position, maybe push him to the wing?
- Into our mid ass midfield
I like these guys, but they're all shadows of their former selves these first few games. Yes, harsh, but that's just how I am bear with me. Ik it's still early, but without a proper breakout game soon I feel this being a huge slump for the boys in our midfield. Keaton's head seems elsewhere, preoccupied almost, but solid performances the last two matches, I have hope. As for Sands I'm not really sure, he is just simply playing worse than we all know he can, lateral passes always, not taking any risks. I think the loan out not working in his favor took a hit to his ego/confidence, which I don't blame him for. I'm sure he can pop back off.
- Our defense is simply average
I like playing with a back four over a three back, I think our style of play better suits having the fullbacks involved in the buildup. That being said, our two CBs need some polishing, they can be so so strong at times, but they've also shown vulnerability numerous times in the young season, promising. O'Toole has cemented his spot on the left, bro has improved ten fold since last year, much appreciated. The right back is where things get fuzzy for me. Ilenic has the capacity to be great for sure, but sometimes his lack of experience gets the better of him, no doubt a quality player tho. Tayvon, Tayvon, Tayvon. I love the guy, but man is he inconsistent, nuff said. I'd rotate the two.
- Squad Players coming in clutch
Ojeda- Give this man more minutes ffs, kid needs time to flourish.
Julian- iffy. Well taken shot last night, has a boot on him for sure. Has potential.
Malachi- Absolute baller. Had a promising preseason and super influential against RBNY2. Can't understand why he isn't played more.
Alonso Martinez- I need to analyze him more, not enough time to judge, showed confidence against Miami.
Perea- Slip this guy into the midfield and change the formation, we need more spice in the buildup. Quality
Jasson- Can play on that wing as a super sub I think.
Jovan- ?????????? Anyone know what's up with him?
- I'm Cushing out too but...
I'm just not sure if it's even realistic anymore, not sure what else he can do to earn a sack. So stuck in his ways that very clearly aren't working. Our squad needs rotation. Experiment with more formations, other players. I'd much rather a loss trying something out than another melancholy 1 point with the same 11 players on the pitch. Sorry, but I don't think this team is going anywhere special this season anyway.
​
OKAY if you made it through all that congrats. I realized that was super long winded, but I hope it sparks some debate and convo. Lmk if you liked this maybe I'll keep it up. Hit up the comments let's have a chat.

Very excited about mine and my wife's upcoming trip and I've been planning (probably over planning) every step of this trip. As I've mentioned in other posts, it has been 13 years since our last Disney trip. For this trip, the Disney portion of our trip will be the second leg of this upcoming trip.
Our trip starts with a late night flight into Miami with a stay that night on Miami Beach. Then we casually explore Miami & Ft. Lauderdale and take in some shopping (cannot pass on hitting the Tommy Bahama Outlet near Ft. Lauderdale) before making our way to Islamorada in the Keys for a 4 day work conference. Then we leave they Keys and drive to Disney hopefully arriving at the MK by 2 PM our first day. After that I have six full days semi planned in the four parks and this is where the anxiety is starting to set in.
We have our ADR's all set for each day, and I have started a Touring Plan of sorts for each of the six days planning to rope drop at least the first four full days. For those four days, I know which rides we are heading for first and what rides we plan to purchase ILL for right off the bat. This is where I get bogged down...
My wife & I are both over 50 and I always envisioned our next trip to Disney being a casual and relaxing experience but in doing my homework (definitely been over planning) the entire day seems like it needs to be planned and executed like a covert military operation in order to get your money's worth. As of right now, we plan to spend two full days in MK, two full days in EPCOT, one full day in HS, and most of a full day at AK (heading to DS for dinner). I think we can check off the must do rides by following the plan we already have by rope dropping each park once for early entry and using ILL's.
So after all this, my question comes down to this, is planning the rest of each day necessary or can we shift into casual mode? We are not needing to ride every ride but we definitely must ride the new attractions since our last visit.
Thanks!
