Whenever the stock market reacts in a way that does not make sense, I come back and read this

This is what my brother does for a living. I remind myself that every time I delude myself into thinking my job is dangerous and I’m “saving lives.”
An aircraft carrier is basically a floating trailer park full of homosexuals and morons waiting for their free money.
Tree guys and linesmen have a way more necessary and way more dangerous job than even special forces.
There are men in America that keep the power on in the winter and keep monsters from crashing into your bed as you sleep.

But by all means go to some flea bitten hell hole to get away with committing felonies getting paid our money to make Ben shapiros dreams come true.
Israel only feels safe if all their neighbors are dead. That’s their motivating character trait. It’s never going to end so I suggest staying as far away as possible.

I don't think people understand how insane Renaissance Florence was.

In a town of about ***50k people*** you had the following people all alive at the same time:

* Leonardo Da Vinci
* Michelangelo
* Raphael
* Amerigo Vespucci (explorer for whom America is named)
* Niccolo Machiavelli
* Sandro Botticelli
* Lorenzo de Medici

What happened to all that human capital? Did the intelligent men of Florence migrate elsewhere over the coming centuries?

All these things happened to me in London today

I paid nearly £30 for a train ticket to take me into London from a town just 30 miles away —on a Saturday

The first person I sat next to, I think from India, decided to have a FaceTime conversation with his friend on speakerphone so we all had to listen to it

The train was late by 40 minutes due to unexplained “signalling issues”. It was also filthy.

I paid nearly £8 for a pint

I offered a woman my seat on the tube without realising she was with a man who intervened and said “no man”. He was not from the UK. I think he took my gesture as an insult.

I was asked for money by homeless people 3 times in one day

I noticed several people who are paid to give information to taxpayers and tourists over the tannoy on the London Tube cannot speak English properly

A cabbie told me “London is dead most nights”, unless you are the global high net worth set or top 1%

Restaurants are visibly struggling and often hideously overpriced

I had dinner in a neighbourhood where the average rent is £3,663 per month while half of all local social housing has gone to people who were not even born in the UK

I was constantly aware I should not get my phone out on the street as 80,000 were stolen last year

I also read on the way back while checking that stat that there were 90,000 shoplifting offences in London last year, up 54%

My train back —delayed—was suddenly changed at the last minute with all passengers on board. They were told it would no longer be stopping at all stops.

I bought a tin of instant coffee on the way home and it had a security tag on it

Maybe I’m in a bad mood and perhaps it’s amusing to think how somebody of my political outlook is “triggered” but to me there is a deeper point here

London is over —it’s so over

It’s a city in visible decline with deteriorating standards and no real sense of identity or belonging

Going in and out of our capital city is a truly miserable experience

Infrastructure is falling apart, as is the social contract

I’ve been coming in and out of London since 1981

I simply cannot remember a time when it’s been this visibly dire and when so many things just do not work as they should

fucking insane. some fish use electrical signals to navigate; if two fish on the same frequency encounter each other, they automatically switch frequencies to avoid "signal jamming" each other. exactly like how your wifi router does at home. wow.

🇲🇽 THE MAYANS NEVER COLLAPSED—THEY ADAPTED

Forget the myth of a vanished civilization.

New research proves the Maya never truly collapsed—while cities like Chichén Itzá fell, rural communities thrived, keeping their culture alive.

Laser scans reveal that Mayapan, a major city after Chichén Itzá, was booming long after the so-called “collapse.”

Researchers found that Maya knowledge, traditions, and governance endured in rural areas, shaping future generations.

Even today, Maya descendants keep ancient customs alive, proving their resilience outlasted empires.

2,052 years ago today, Octavian became Augustus — the first Roman Emperor.

Over the next 4 decades, he laid the foundations of an Empire that lasted 1,400 years.

Here’s the story of how Augustus saved his civilisation from ruin — and made Rome great again... 🧵

New ancient Mayan City has been found!

It would have housed 30-50,000 people at its peak ~800 AD

Found somewhere people rarely go today, a thread on the city of Valeriana🧵

I asked Grok to do something... it did very very well.

If you pay organizations according to the number of homeless people they “manage”, you create an incentive to maximize the number of homeless people, which is exactly what happened here

Which armed group won the war in Syria?

The one backed by the CIA or the one backed by the Pentagon? Or was it the group backed by Saudi Arabia? or was it ISIS?

I am so confused.

Past societies produced so much beauty because they knew that math and beauty are deeply connected.

It all started when Pythagoras discovered something mind-blowing about reality:

The universe is not made of matter — but music... (thread) 🧵

“Where is the evidence of a ‘lost ancient technology?”

Right in front of us. The cut of this ancient Egyptian granite vase is far too precise to have been carved by hand.

And LOOK at that balance 🤯
