THREAD: my Karabakhi roots.
Pictured the 2nd row are my grandmother, great grandfather ‘ginger’ Ibrahim & toddler-aged father, & grandfather (from left to right).
Everyone from my paternal side is from Lachin part of Karabakh region, born & raised there.
Most people’s problems have complex causes: deep-rooted neurosis, interconnected social factors, roots that go way back in time and are exceedingly hard to unravel.
Few have the patience to deal with this;
most people want to hear that a simple solution will cure their problems
The dire wolf isn’t the only animal that Colossal, which was founded in 2021 and currently employs 130 scientists, wants to bring back.
Also on their de-extinction wish list is the woolly mammoth, the dodo, and the thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger https://t.co/URIPunY8ID
Marcus Aurelius' life story: The rise of a philosopher king.
A Roman emperor from 161 to 180 A.D., Marcus Aurelius practiced Stoicism and wrote about his own Stoic practice in his journals. Marcus’s 'Meditations' is perhaps the only document of its kind ever made. It is the private thoughts of the world’s most powerful man giving advice to himself on how to make good on the responsibilities and obligations of his position.
This is an excerpt from @Ryanholiday "Lives Of The Stoics” audiobook.
according to @euronews:
"Azerbaijani government sources have exclusively confirmed to Euronews on Thursday that a Russian surface-to-air missile caused the Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash in Aktau on Wednesday.
According to the sources, the missile was fired at Flight 8432 during a drone air activity above Grozny, and the shrapnel hit the passengers and cabin crew as it exploded next to the aircraft mid-flight.
Government sources have told Euronews that the damaged aircraft was not allowed to land at any Russian airports despite the pilots’ requests for an emergency landing, and it was ordered to fly across the Caspian Sea towards Aktau in Kazakhstan.
According to data, the plane’s GPS navigation systems were jammed throughout the flight path above the sea."
