Retweets are not always endorsements. I agree with some and disagree with others. Some are reminders for the future. Some are things I find interesting.

Did you know that China is over 3,000 years old? and Egypt is over 5,000 years old? and America? the United States of America is not even 250 years old yet and we're still at the motherfucking top, bitch. What in the fuck are you other countries doing? We're like 8 generations in and we're fucking running this shit, bitch. We're the fucking superstars of the world. Suck our fucking cocks, fucker.

⚡️You need to be okay with rejection and failure to the point that your desire for the life you want is stronger than your desire to protect your self-image.

That is the threshold.

Most people never cross it. They choose dignity theater over conquest. They would rather feel unexposed than become powerful.

The ones who get the most out of life are willing to bleed socially, emotionally, financially, and reputationally in controlled ways until reality gives them the opening.

That is the price.

There is a dead zone at the mouth of the Mississippi the size of New Jersey. Here is what feeds it.

- Synthetic nitrogen fertiliser, sprayed on the corn belt every year
- The soil cannot hold it all, so the excess washes down to the Gulf
- It feeds algae blooms that strip the water of oxygen
- Almost nothing survives. It hit a record 8,776 square miles in 2017.
- Over 40% of that corn is grown to become ethanol, a fuel additive

Cattle get a documentary made about their burps. The corn monoculture quietly suffocates an area the size of a small state every summer, and keeps its halo.

Hey @grok what really happened in the sky over Nuremberg in 1561?

[Hillbilly @JamesHu27192912]

A farmer once spent a small fortune on a beautiful thoroughbred horse. He was proud of the animal and expected it to become one of the best horses on his property.

But only a month after bringing it home, the horse became seriously ill.

Concerned, the farmer called a veterinarian.

After examining the horse, the vet shook his head and said, "Your horse has contracted a dangerous virus. I'm going to leave medication that must be given once a day for the next three days. If there's no improvement by then, we'll have no choice but to put him down to protect the other horses."

A pig standing nearby overheard the entire conversation.

The first day passed. The horse took the medicine, but nothing changed.

That evening, the pig walked over and said, "Come on, buddy. You've got to get up."

The horse barely moved.

The second day came and went.

Still no improvement.

The pig returned.

"Come on," she urged. "You have to fight. If you don't get up, they're going to give up on you."

But the horse remained weak and motionless.

On the third day, the horse received another dose of medicine.

Again, nothing happened.

When the veterinarian arrived, he examined the horse and sighed.

"I'm sorry," he told the farmer. "The horse isn't responding. We need to put him down before the virus spreads."

The pig heard every word.

Panicked, she ran to the horse as fast as she could.

"Listen to me!" she shouted. "This is your last chance! The vet is here right now. Get up! You have to get up! Now or never!"

Something changed.

The horse struggled.

Then pushed himself onto his feet.

A moment later, he was walking.

Then trotting.

Then running across the field as if nothing had happened.

The farmer couldn't believe his eyes.

"It's a miracle!" he yelled. "What incredible news!"

He threw his hat in the air and shouted, "This calls for a celebration!"

Then he turned toward the barn and said:

"Let's roast the pig tonight!"

The Lesson

Sometimes the people who make the biggest difference receive the least credit.

And sometimes the ones working hardest behind the scenes are the first to be forgotten.

Before judging someone's role in a situation—or assuming you know the whole story—remember that success often has invisible helpers.

Not every hero gets recognized.

And not every contribution is obvious.

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

Inverted morality works by normalizing the immoral and the insane until refusing it looks extreme.

Once institutions treat men as women, children as sexual beings, and repeat criminals as victims deserving leniency, anyone still anchored to biological and social reality becomes the outlier.

But the truth is you are not extreme. They are.

Liberal women don't even say anything, they just look at you like this and expect you to allow Western civilization to collapse.

@_Pax_Virtus_ @LisaBritton Once you understand it’s a mass psychological projection and it’s actually women who are the narcissists then it will begin to make sense. They project their own narcissism onto the men they date. That’s why they all have experiences with “narcissists”

Inherently millennial phenomena:

• cards against humanity
• self-deprecating jokes
• drinking IPAs
• breweries instead of bars
• “we are young forever” slop music
• those burger joints (we all know)
• curse words on menus
• saying “adulting”

What else?

If your success or failure is judged by other people, rather than by nature or free markets, you’re playing a game, albeit a reified and social one.

A child loves their parents so sincerely from the moment they’re born.

Every time I think about that, I’m amazed by how many years of effort it must take to fill their head with enough hurt, fear, or disappointment for them to stop loving you.
