Round up
September 12, 2026
I discuss various topics today.September 11
I have discussed September 11 multiple times previously. This time, on the 25th anniversary of the attacks, I ended up being only one block away from where I was when I saw the north tower collapse live on TV because my girlfriend asked me to visit her there.
Nikita Tyukalo’s parties
It would seem that Nikita Tyukalo had extensive loud parties, parties which were apparently funded by him trafficking women to be online pornographic models.
Andrew Tate: Denied bail
Andrew Tate and his brother have been denied bail in their extradition proceedings. They remain in jail.
Tate has allegedly trafficked webcam models to earn money, among other charges.
Nathan Cofnas update
Nathan Cofnas, who accused a Black professor of plagiarism, has had his suspension ended, but is not allowed to teach classes. It would seem they don’t want to fire him—but I very seriously doubt they will renew his contract either.
Nathan Cofnas has a right to be a “race realist” who believes, to put it bluntly, that Black people aren’t as smart as other races. I strongly disagree with that belief, but he has a right to have it. Where he crossed the line was digging up dirt to harass someone for being Black.
Woke 1 was crazy
The same left-leaning media who were part of the “Woke 1” movement are now realizing how out of touch that movement was.
The New York times, who forced an editor to resign back in 2020—peak Woke—for publishing the opinion of a US Senator, recently published an article about how crazy “Woke 1” really was. How times have changed.
Lowering memory prices
One startup is working on a much cheaper process to create computer memory. This process will hopefully make memory cheaper by the end of the decade. I personally feel the AI bubble will burst before then.
Either way, it should be possible to get a ThinkPad T14s with an Intel i7 processor, 64 gigs of memory, and 4tb or more of hard disk space for under $2000 within three years.
