Apocalyptic bird nest.

A Russian glide bomb knocks down a tree in Donbas. From the shattered branches rolls out a tiny bird’s nest.

@blackmyth983046 @woke8yearold Yeah man, long tobacco pipe, bow, tent, and horsey is fun. Its not that deep.

You seem defensive and culturally anxious if you are so scared of saying so. You insist upon yourself. You cannot abide even the smallest acknowledgement of your enemy's aesthetic, because of weakness.

@blackmyth983046 @woke8yearold Every modern civilization must suppress nomads to exist. I suppose we do not need to convince ourselves of our dominance over the Nomad, it is simple reality.

@blackmyth983046 @woke8yearold what of it

In the US there is cultural admiration toward native tribes, and ancestral fear of things like Comanche raids. It doesnt mean the natives are in charge of the country

@blackmyth983046 @woke8yearold Theres not a controlled experiment here. Mongols stopped at Europe due to luck+terrain+weather+stone castles

Either way I was confused because it seems tangential to the discussion

[Dawk D. Dunk @DunkDawk]

@blackmyth983046 @woke8yearold The Mongols weren't Western

I find it hard to believe community involvement was increasing from 1998 to 2019

One of the most important things to understand about the moment we are living in

@Empty_America At least this has some fiber

[Paul Novosad @paulnovosad]

Humans have deep-rooted desires for status.

These are best accommodated in diversified small human communities, where everyone can be the expert at their thing.

Social media makes us unhappy, because our community becomes the world, and to a first approximation, we are all peasants.

We are uglier than the people on Instagram, our families are doing worse than the families on Facebook, on Twitter we are nobody.

So we use the weapons of the weak, we ridicule those with power and try to tear down their reputations, we participate in cathartic expressions of moral superiority. But it is a weak balm for the psychological pain of being low status in a human community.

@Lib_Development Boston is cool but the problem is it is way too small to be in a top 10 running

In China they put Durian on pizza. When I first got here, I did voiceover work for the Domino’s China ad campaign, which featured an anthropomorphic durian pizza that would tear slices off itself to hand out to squealing children.

Dont ruin it for the guys who do get in. As someone who has experienced a 2:1 girls to guys ratio at school, it is pretty fun.
