22 yrs ago today, after a long zoning dispute with local officials that ruined his business, welder Marvin Heemeyer had enough & created the Killdozer.

He destroyed the mayor’s house, the judge’s house, town hall, the police station, & the bank - while avoiding hurting civilians or their property.

Happy Killdozer Day to those who celebrate 🎊

«Et si le patriarcat n’était pas un complot contre les femmes, mais un compromis pour la survie ?»

Les femmes ont-elles été un jour les égales voire les supérieures des hommes ? C’est ce qu’aiment à croire de nombreuses féministes, qui imaginent un âge d’or lointain où les femmes auraient été les maîtresses des sociétés, chassant le mammouth et maniant la sagaie aussi bien que leurs homologues masculins.

Cet imaginaire a profondément imprégné les mentalités. On ne compte plus les articles de vulgarisation évoquant les chasseresses de la préhistoire, les Lady sapiens toutes-puissantes ou les guerrières vikings qui, à en croire certaines séries Netflix, auraient figuré au premier rang du champ de bataille. On comprend la fonction idéologique d’un tel récit : se convaincre de l’existence d’un matriarcat primitif permet d’affirmer que le patriarcat n’est qu’un choix politique, une idéologie, une bifurcation malheureuse, donc arbitraire et réversible, sur laquelle l’humanité se serait malencontreusement engagée.

C’est pour contrer ce lieu commun du progressisme que Véra Nikolski et Nicolas Pichoff ont écrit Pourquoi les Amazones n’existent pas (Fayard).

Aucune société humaine connue n’a fait de la chasse ou de la guerre une activité féminine régulière. Partout dans le monde, pendant des centaines de milliers d’années, les deux sexes ont été affectés à des fonctions différentes : liées à la sphère domestique pour les femmes, à l’extérieur pour les hommes. Pourquoi ?

Au commencement était la différence biologique. L’homme engendre dans le corps d’autrui, la femme engendre dans son propre corps. De cette différence primordiale naît toute une série de conséquences. D’abord, la femme est immobilisée par la grossesse et devient, pendant plusieurs années, la principale source d’alimentation de l’enfant (le lait en poudre n’existant pas au paléolithique), ce qui limite son éloignement du foyer. Ensuite, le nombre d’enfants qu’une femme peut engendrer au cours de sa période de fertilité est strictement limité, quand un homme peut, en théorie, féconder un très grand nombre de femmes. Dans un groupe humain, la perte d’une femme en âge de procréer a donc des conséquences démographiques bien plus lourdes que celle d’un homme.

Dans un contexte de survie - contexte que nous avons largement oublié, nous autres Sapiens installés dans le confort et la sécurité -, la vie d’un homme avait ainsi une valeur moindre que celle d’une femme. Les deux auteurs modélisent l’hypothèse d’une société qui aurait confié les tâches les plus risquées - chasse, guerre, travaux physiques dangereux - aux femmes : celle-ci aurait mécaniquement vu sa population décroître. « Nous sommes probablement tous les descendants de groupes humains ayant choisi une organisation sociale dans laquelle les activités dangereuses sont l’apanage des hommes », écrivent-ils.

[Wheeler Rides Again @joeridesagain]

The average Southerner didn’t own slaves or didn’t employee any black sharecroppers. It wasn’t on any moral grounds. Before the war, slaves were too expensive for the average man, and after the war the average white man was more likely to be a sharecropper himself than hire a black sharecropper.

While they didn’t own slaves, they owned the next best thing, children. Men and women married young, and had as many children as possible. Kids were employed as pickers at a preschool age and worked until they got old enough to repeat the cycle. Imagine a 4-year-old working from sunrise to dusk in a cotton field today. Their parents would probably be jailed and the DHR would take custody of the children. Before the 1950’s it was completely normal. In fact, it would have been rare in the rural South not to work your children because food was too expensive and everyone had to contribute to get by.

White privilege may have existed in New England but I can assure you that it was almost non-existent in the South. Until next time, Deo vindice.

[Wheeler Rides Again @joeridesagain]

Last week, I wrote about how the average cotton farmer got most of his calories from a corn and molasses diet. This week, I figured I’d cover the other cornerstone of his diet, pork. Pork provided the average cotton state Southerner with most of his proteins and fats, and it could be eaten year around without refrigeration. The pig was one of the few domesticated animals that could survive the pine forests, hot and humid climate, and parasites of the American South before the modern era. Survival is an understatement. Pigs thrive in the South. Owing to their omnivorous nature, they can make a meal out of nearly anything from roots, tubers, berries, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, grasses, worms, grubs, insects, lizards, snakes, rodents, frogs, birds, eggs, and baby larger mammals. They have no qualms about scavenging dead animals, even in advanced states of decay. Even in the Colonial Era, the deep South had few natural predators, and almost none that would chance a fight with a healthy adult. Our swamps, coastal plains, sprawling pine forests, and mountain hollers provided the pig with a veritable all-you-can-eat buffet. Their only major weakness as a domesticated animal in the premodern era is a susceptibility, especially for young pigs, to extreme cold. But the winters in the South are mild and even the coldest of cold snaps are short lived. The Conquistadors may have been the ones looking for paradise, but the pigs that came to America in the holds of those Spanish galleons are the ones that actually found it. 

Wheeler, you may ask, why didn’t the South try raising other animals? Why not cows? Cows require that the land be converted first to pasture, and any plot of land large enough to sustain cows would be far more valuable as a cotton field. Spanish Goats do well in the American South, why didn’t the South raise more goats? There were some goats, but goats before the advent of barbed wire and electric fences are notoriously difficult to contain. A half Chinese, half black homosexual Jewish prostitute would receive a warmer welcome in a community of cotton planters than a largescale goat herder. Goats had plenty of natural predators in the South, even once they reach maturity. More importantly, goats reproduce slower and grow slower than pigs. A goat’s gestation period is roughly 150 days. A pigs gestation period is 114 days. A Spanish goat will usually have 1-2 babies. A pig will litter 8-12 babies. A goat struggles to give birth twice a year. A pig can reliably do 2.3-2.5 litters a year. A one-year-old pig will weigh 200-300 pounds. A goat will only get to 60-100 pounds during the same time period.

Why wasn’t the chicken the cornerstone of the premodern Southerner’s diet? Before chicken wire, it was incredibly difficult to protect chickens from predators. The South was full of hawks, opossums, snakes, foxes, owls, skunks, bobcats, and raccoons looking for a nice chicken or egg dinner. More importantly, a chicken cannot reliably forage its diet like a pig can. You’d be planting crops that have only a third of the value of cotton to input into a chicken operation that won’t produce as much meat as pigs. And before refrigeration, the only reliable way to preserve a significant quantity of chicken was canning. Self-sealing canning jars were not invented until 1915. Sheep? I’ll let you come to the conclusion why an extremely humid climate that has average summer highs in the 90’s won’t be ideal for sheep. There were some around the coasts, but it was never more than a cottage industry.

So fellow Southerner, you are what you ate, and what you ate was pork. Lots of it. More than any other animal until the 1960’s. Soon, I’ll explain the process of turning live pigs into shelf stable meat before refrigeration or electricity. Until next time, Deo vindice friends.

Henry Nowak was murdered and the police let him die.

When someone tells you they've been stabbed and are struggling to breathe, unless they pose an obvious risk to your own life, you make sure they are OK before you do anything else.

You don't pause to think about whether they might be racist, or whether they could be making it up.

There must be justice for Henry.

KASAPS — THE BUTCHERS

The Principality of Moscow was formed and spent centuries under the influence of the Golden Horde.

It was during this period that its state institutions, military system, tax-collection mechanisms, and model of governance were established.

Moscow princes received their patents to rule from the khans, traveled to the Horde to have their authority confirmed, and took part in the complex political system of the Horde.

It is therefore not surprising that the Turkic world left a noticeable mark on the names and descriptions applied to the Muscovites.

After all, Turkic peoples were Moscow's closest neighbors, allies, enemies, and overlords for centuries.

That is why it is logical to look for the origins of the word kasap there.

KAZAN — A POSSIBLE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING

In 1552, the forces of Tsar Ivan IV, known as Ivan the Terrible, captured Kazan.

For Muscovy, it was a great victory.

For the Tatar world, it was a catastrophe.

It was after the fall of Kazan that Muscovy began its large-scale expansion eastward and southward.

Turkic peoples began referring to Muscovites as kasaps.

The word comes from the Arabic term qaṣṣāb (قَصَّاب), meaning "butcher" or "slaughterer."

Through Turkic languages—Crimean Tatar, Turkish, Azerbaijani, and others—it spread among the peoples of the region. The word is recorded in the Turkic-Latin dictionary Codex Cumanicus dating back to 1303.

Local peoples used this nickname to describe the cruelty, bloodthirstiness, and ruthlessness of Muscovite armies during their wars of conquest.

NOVGOROD: THE BLOOD OF THEIR OWN

One distinctive feature of Muscovy was that its brutality was often directed not only at its neighbors.

Ivan the Terrible's punitive campaign against the Novgorod Republic in 1570 became one of the most famous examples of mass killings carried out against the inhabitants of a city.

Novgorod, once one of the wealthiest centers of Eastern Europe, was effectively broken as an independent political force.

Muscovy became increasingly associated with coercion, subjugation, and violence.

That is why the Turkic explanation for the origin of this word does not seem accidental.

It fits well within the historical context of the era.

A HISTORY THAT NEVER DISAPPEARED

When the world today sees the consequences of the war in Ukraine—when places such as Bucha, Izium, Mariupol, and other tragedies are remembered—many people inevitably return to the old Turkic word kasap.

Why, after centuries of civilizational development, have mass executions of civilians, torture, and burials in courtyards and streets appeared once again?

For many people, the derivation from the Turkic word kasap seems not only linguistically plausible but also symbolically accurate.

Throughout the history of Muscovy, the same pattern appears again and again: domination through fear, violence, and bloodshed.

And so the question arises:

Could it be that this word survived the centuries because reality kept finding new ways to confirm it?

Nový migrační pakt EU začne být plně uplatňován za 8 dní.

Nová pravidla dají Evropské komisi větší pravomoci při rozhodování o tom, které členské státy EU budou muset přijmout více žadatelů o azyl nebo zaplatit významné částky na jejich pobyt v Evropě (tzv. povinný mechanismus solidarity).

Dne 12. června nahradí nová pravidla odpovědnosti dosavadní Dublinský systém, který určoval, která země má řešit konkrétní azylovou žádost. Podle starého pravidla byl za vyřízení žádosti odpovědný stát, do kterého žadatel o azyl vstoupil na území Evropy jako první.

Brusel nový systém představuje jako „harmonizovanější evropský rámec pro řízení azylu a migrace“, založený na kvótách pro přerozdělování migrantů.

Dne 15. října Evropská komise poprvé zveřejní výroční evropskou zprávu o azylu a migraci a své hodnocení migračního tlaku na jednotlivé členské státy.

Tím bude zahájen nový každoroční cyklus řízení migrace, který začíná sběrem dat od členských států a agentur EU.

Komise následně vydá zprávu a klasifikaci migračního tlaku (země budou označeny jako státy pod tlakem, ohrožené státy nebo státy čelící významnému migračnímu tlaku).

Poté Komise navrhne každoroční Solidární fond, tedy počet kvótových migrantů, kteří mají být rozděleni mezi členské státy EU.

Na konci roku bude uspořádáno Fórum solidarity na vysoké úrovni, kde členské státy oznámí své příspěvky.

Solidární fond je trvalý a povinný mechanismus.

Přispívající státy si mohou vybrat mezi přijetím svého přiděleného počtu migrantů, zaplacením 20 000 eur za každého nepřevzatého migranta nebo přijetím jiných nákladných opatření, například poskytováním operační podpory, budováním kapacit (infrastruktura, školení a vybavení pro ochranu hranic a přijímací centra).

Pro rok 2026 byl fond stanoven na 21 000 přerozdělených migrantů nebo 420 milionů eur.

Od roku 2027 nařízení stanoví minimálně 30 000 přerozdělení nebo 600 milionů eur, přičemž horní limit není stanoven.

Velikost Solidárního fondu bude záviset na hodnocení migračního tlaku Evropskou komisí, založeném na počtu příchozích migrantů a potřebách států na vnější hranici EU.

To znamená, že pokud by se opakovala migrační krize podobná té z roku 2015, případně v ještě větším měřítku, například s náhlým příchodem 10 milionů žadatelů o azyl během jediného roku, Brusel by je podle tohoto pohledu nezastavil na hranicích, ale přijal by je a přerozdělil mezi členské státy EU.

Tyto státy by následně posuzovaly jejich žádosti o azyl a rozhodovaly, zda jim azyl udělí, nebo vydají rozhodnutí o vyhoštění.

Jak však víme, mnoho rozhodnutí o vyhoštění je dnes obtížné nebo nemožné vykonat, protože migranti neuvádějí svou skutečnou identitu, jejich domovské země je odmítají převzít zpět nebo evropské soudy rozhodnou, že jejich návrat do vlasti by byl nehumánní a porušoval jejich lidská práva.

Přestože členské státy EU budou nadále odpovědné za praktickou realizaci a budou mít určitou možnost rozhodnout, jak splní svůj podíl v rámci Solidárního fondu, nový rámec centralizuje klíčové prvky azylové politiky na úrovni EU a dává Evropské komisi větší vliv na azylovou politiku jednotlivých států.

Dochází tak k posunu od čistě národní kontroly migrace směrem ke společné správě azylové politiky na úrovni EU, což omezuje samostatnost jednotlivých členských států v této oblasti výměnou za sdílení zátěže mezi státy Evropské unie.

Actually the trip with Mike Griffin was without Adeo. I was there actually and arranged the trip. I was also there on the earlier trip with Adeo (image attached). When the Russians would not do a deal for Strela or Dnepr, Elon turned to Mike and me on the plane back and said ‘I think we can make this rocket ourselves’. He had a spreadsheet of a rocket design and showed us. He had been working with Chris Thompson @zip465 (who was SpaceX employee number two and is now President of @PhantomSpaceC ) but had been working with Elon on the greenhouse lander for Mars and the design for an American rocket that could take it there. That became @SpaceX. I joined as employee number four and VP of business development. Just to keep the record straight

[Jason | 🇬🇧 🇿🇦 🇮🇱🇺🇲 @Ajaon_of_All]

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.
