"I’ve come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re 15 and 35 is new and…
Tangential, but @financequant used to run a thought experiment during Taleb's RWRI course that went like this: Imagine you have a desert people. They form their "villages" near oases for subsistence. From time-to-time these oases dry up. The village collapses. New oases are…
I've posted a lot lately about "rootedness vs mobility" and so forth, and perhaps it's been too much. But largely, I'm thinking about this topic so much because lately, there's seems to be a unique emergent demographic -- people who have no reason to be anywhere in particular.…
Annual reminder that Yukon Cornelius carried a fixed blade, a revolver and an impact tool all readily accessible forward of the hips. Yukon knew what's up.
I am slowly losing my battle against what I can only assume is an entire mechanized engineer battalion of beavers. Structures appear overnight, entire pastures become inundated and consumed. Their lust for conquest rivals that of Genghis Khan.
"You deserve to live where you grew up" is a problematic worldview in Shapiro's estimation, which is pretty wild.
Ben Shapiro sums up why his brand of conservatism is dying fast and why the populist left will steamroller any Republican parroting Shapiro’s views. “If you’re a young person and you can’t afford to live here then maybe you should not live here” he says to native New Yorkers.
Triumphantly took the entire day to change my wife’s front rotors, calipers, and brake pads. Brother showed me how to use acetylene/oxygen torch to heat up rusted equipment to get the bolt out of them. This is a winter salt landscape adaptation tech trick.
This is curing me of my most extreme libertarian impulses.
This woman and another man ran into a daycare to barricade themselves after fleeing a traffic stop. No evidence has been provided she was a teacher, nor would it matter. She allegedly broke human smuggling laws as well. The press will lie to you about anything.
A teacher at a Chicago day care center was violently dragged out and then arrested by federal immigration officers, several local, state and federal officials said. Read more: abcnews.link/CnM3kO1
So fkt up
Ostrich eggs contain high concentrations of a specific type of antibody called immunoglobulin Y (IgY), which is used in the development of certain vaccines and therapeutics. Its all pharma control. This farm is 1 hr from me. My friends have been volunteering there for months.
Telling people who can't afford a house, can't even afford a decent car, can't afford groceries, can't afford basic health care, and see little job growth that they are "living in a golden age" while you do Gatsby parties & fancy ball room renovations is NOT a winning message.
TRUMP: "I am pleased to report that today, the United States has the strongest economy, the strongest borders, the strongest military, the strongest friendships, and the strongest spirit of any nation anywhere." "This is the Golden Age of America."
College is a cultural forge more than anything else. There is nobody more miserable than the ‘college poor’
The working class didn't fall for Zohran, college grads did. 57% of New Yorkers with a bachelor's degree or higher supported Mamdani, compared with only 39% of working class voters. Education, more than income, signals class because it shapes habits, networks, and outlook long…
Yes. A million times, this. From the rooftops. I am soooo over therapy speak and the total inability to consider that the only way out is through. When something makes you uncomfortable, and it isn’t immoral/sinful in any way, maybe consider it as an opportunity to push through…
my most boomer take is that being endlessly gentle with yourself all the time and never forcing yourself to do anything you don’t want to do isn’t self care it’s lazy and it’s bad for you
Clam chowder (the real kind, not that disgusting tomato slop) is a union of the most nourishing foods on earth. It contains the briny power of the seas, and the bacon-y, creamy, deeply rooted potato energies of the land. There's no other food so complete and nourishing.
🚨 “Oregon is using satellites to hunt small farms.” Farmer Justin Rhodes says the state redefined “CAFO” so even 3 cows and a milking stand count as a factory farm. Cease-and-desist letters. $100K “upgrades.” Family farms shut down. 🇺🇸 THIS IS WAR!
canvassing for @ZohranKMamdani in the east village today and the actor who plays dr. strugis in young sheldon is in my canvassing group!!
This company sells devices to meat manufacturers so they can add water weight to meats so “profitability guaranteed” They're injected with a plumping solution made of water, salts, phosphates and preservatives. It increases the weight, increase shelf life and increases profits…
