THREAD π§΅π§΅π§΅ Letβs dive into the #MudFlood
#Tartaria is the wackiest rabbit hole in the world of fake archaeology. Supposedly, the #OldWorld was destroyed 1-200 years ago, and an advanced global society and its #FreeEnergy were wiped out

Dubai chocolate. Grilling cheese (halloumi). Korean fried chicken. Artisanal ramen. Birria tacos. Bubble Tea. Basque cheesecake. Flat white. Matcha everything. Bao bun. Poke bowls. Etc. American self centeredness continues space
(Avocado toast & 3rd wave coffee aren't American)
Essentially 100% of internationally relevant food innovations since 2000 are American: avocado toast, smashburgers, craft beer, third wave coffee, etc. The only exceptions I can think of are natural wine and boba

The European mind understands it perfectly. This is what imperial decadence looks like: public institutions converted into branded spectacle, civic memory replaced by adrenaline theater, and the Peopleβs House turned into a content backdrop for regime propaganda.
The joke is not that Europe cannot comprehend it. The joke is that America no longer recognizes what it is becoming.

I mean, Iβm all for putting things into perspective, but when it comes to global warming, zooming out a couple thousand years is not exactly reassuring.

Zoom out your graph to include just a few thousand little years. Andβ¦. Breathe. Happy weekend!

Today we are arguing about whether or not Odysseusβ stories to the Phaeacians in books 9-12 are a complete load of malarkey
What in the iliad or the Odyssey should we fight about today?

New paper is out! Over the last 8 years of fieldwork in N/W Saudi Arabia, we uncovered a series of Neolithic arrowheads, including this absolutely stunning example. This paper was led by @FinnStileman.
As it turns out, these little guys can tell us a lot!

Elon Musk is living proof of the truth of these sayings
- money can't buy happiness
- wealth without kindness is just emptiness
- love of money is a root of all kinds of evil
- mo' money, mo' problems
- it's not the man who has little, but the man who craves more, that is poor

I saw a post on Reddit that said that βThe underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.β And I donβt think Iβve ever seen AI described so incisively.

Measles causes thousands of deaths each year globally
Besides death it can cause deafness, pneumonia and meningitis, as well as general misery with missed days of school
And it's all totally unnecessary because there's a highly effective vaccine
Playing it down is strange

Why is the @nytimes so desperate to hype the risk of measles? Desperate is not too strong a word. These stories are all from this year.
Again, NOT ONE American adult or child has died from measles in 2026. (By way of comparison, dog attacks now kill about 100 Americans a year.)

Trump may as well have called the rest of us peasants.
According to him, it wasnβt workers who built America. It was rich guys like him and his cabinet:
βThese people built the country, not the complainers. The complainers didnβt build the countryβ¦. Whether itβs fishermen or farmers or anything else. Me. Guys like me, they built the country. And you know, I watch all these ingrates, theyβre always complaining, complaining. They didnβt build anything, they couldnβt build anything.β
