[Seva @SevaUT]

no viral tweets today just having a little walk

[Seva @SevaUT]

@MarkManger evolutionary adaptation maybe

[Seva @SevaUT]

craziest thing about history is how often your children would just die. and not that long ago. i'm reading a bio of Lincoln and it just slips that his kids kept dying tragically. today that's a life-defining event. did everyone just walk around with PTSD or what

[Seva @SevaUT]

@daniel_mcdowell I think probably 80% of all human history can be explained by PTSD and alcoholism. scientifically speaking

[Seva @SevaUT]

@olivertraldi @SCP_Hughes interesting and depressing. we are so fucking lucky

[Seva @SevaUT]

@SemenovaKA what effect does that have on the psyche I wonder. we are insanely lucky

[Seva @SevaUT]

@NataliaAntonova i've only read his short stories, will have to check it out

[Seva @SevaUT]

@MrKevinRothrock no fucking clue honestly I've just learned to go with it

[Seva @SevaUT]

had the infamous Japan experience where I walked into a tiny izakaya & the guy came up quickly & said we’re closed tho they clearly weren’t. Then one of the patrons mockingly yelled “so sorry”. for all the good things about the country the racism will always make it second-rate

[Seva @SevaUT]

@sugokubased can't wait to go back to a real country

[Seva @SevaUT]

@FY4Chan could be, tabelog said the place was open til 11. it was definitely not elderly folks lol, just five or six really drunk dudes

[Seva @SevaUT]

[Seva @SevaUT]

Economists waking up in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty-Six to discover international relations.

[Seva @SevaUT]

[Seva @SevaUT]

big thanks to the Japanese association of international relations for the invite, to my fellow co-panelists, and for the incredible turnout on a saturday night

[Seva @SevaUT]

you're only allowed to give a talk with an image like this on Halloween. I'm in the future (i.e. Japan, where it's already nov 1) so that's what I did last night
