This paper. Crémieux real name is Jordan Lasker. Its definitely him because he's credited as such by publications he's written for, such as Reason.

You can measure how complex human technology is by looking at how many manufacturing steps are required to make it. For millions of years, the most complex objects made by hominids only required six or so steps.

Then, half a million years ago, people began making more and more complex objects such that by 100,000 years ago, people were regularly making objects that required more than 10 manufacturing steps. By the Holocene, people were making blades requiring 19 manufacturing steps.

They should do that, actually

[Schmitty @nomnull]

@NVigue61040 @UBERSOY1 This is largely a myth. Their most common occupations were in manufacturing and most overrepresented in retail/wholesale. https://t.co/gonUz8FaxQ

What I find so funny about this tweet is that his source was a Donbas fighter who really did give him privileged information that Russia had an invasion of Ukraine in the works, but his terminally online brain interpreted it as "they're making USSR 2"

@cremieuxrecueil The reputation of growth hormone as dangerous is related to its use in body building. Which the doses used by top body builders almost never are seen in height enhancement spaces.

Blasting aromatase inhibitors in high school to delay epiphysial closure is actually dangerous

This cartoon followed a horrific public electrocution of a Manhattan lineman, one of many deaths by a dense canopy of unregulated high-voltage lines.

The resulting regulation and burial of the lines was highly successful and why you think electricity is effortlessly safe today.

Here are the images @washingtonpost is afraid to show you. I have no idea why Converse chose this woman to promote sneakers, but does the second image make you think of a lynching?

Converse now groveling, of course. Pathetic.

Many countries with Mennonite populations that have birth rates far higher than their native inhabitants. In Bolivia especially German Mennonites could become a 51% majority within about 50-60 years. You may not like it but this is what the average Bolivian will look like in 2100

fun fact: the iroquois didn’t hurt anyone during their century-long war of expansion. no towns destroyed. they conquered 800k square miles through uh. empathy

Cities make people more productive. That's the nature of agglomeration effects.

Unfortunately, America doesn't benefit as much from agglomeration as it could because it has really high crime, and crime disrupts agglomeration economies.

@prodigyredstar @hemingquay I still call them those things & guess what, they're still white & always were considered as such. Its called humour, satire if you will. Btw, you used to be able to discriminate on any basis in the US. That people discriminated against Irish ≠ they considered them non-white.

[Molly Stark @NorthernerY]

@hemingquay @A_White_Lioness Omg no. Sicilians were considered white. If they hadn’t been, they never would have been allowed to immigrate in the first place and there would also have been anti-miscegenation laws against them, but neither of those things happened. They were always considered white.

[Boru @Amadan82]

"Italians/Irish/Poles weren't considered white" is simply a popular modern way of describing the complicated situation in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Find me any documentation from back then specifically stating they are not White. What you'll find is simply cultural and religious xenophobia (Anglo vs Non Anglo & Catholic vs Protestent).

Not "theyre not White".

Most Americans tend to see ethnicity and "race" as equivalent, with the options being "White", "Black/African-American", "Native American/Indian", "Asian", etc.

In order to get the modern American to see that Catholic Italian immigrants were not seen as being on the same order as Protestants with English ancestry, then, it's easy to say that Italians "weren't considered white".

[G.S. Quay @hemingquay]

I’m glad they’re here! My wife is Italian-American!

But let’s not pretend that the Ellis Island wave came at no cost or that it maps perfectly onto our current predicament.

[G.S. Quay @hemingquay]

1. The Irish and Italians did assimilate, but only after voting in the New Deal and Great Society and changing America forever (and doing a lot of organized crime)

2. They successfully assimilated because a) we had a pro-American education system and institutions that didn’t pander to “multiculturalism,” b) we stopped nearly all immigration for 50 years, c) they fought a world war alongside the descendants of founding stock Americans, and d) they were still Christians and Westerners

[Schmitty @nomnull]

@AndrewKosz1984 @JerichoJosh1 Oh right, and remind us again which foreigners Congress restricted immigration to in their very first naturalization act?

[Jericho Josh @JerichoJosh1]

It's literally in the FIRST SENTENCE of our founding document.
