Unrelated to language, but look at where Meroitic Period skulls plot (in pink), a bit more shifted towards SSA than pre-dynastic Nubians, who cluster closer w/Egyptians. Not sure how to interpret that.
Hey @grok, based on ALL my tweets, I am: Which dictator? Which philosopher? Which fictional character? Which politician? Which religious figure? Which historical figure? Which artist?

I know the history pretty well. France actually forgave about 40% of the debt in the 1830s b/c the Haitians couldn't pay anything. But the country recovered a bit and actually paid ~70-75% of the debt off by the 1870s. But the leaders just went and borrowed more.
The levels of ingratitude are staggering.
Faking being black is generally a great strategy in applying to elite universities. Where Zohran screwed up was having a father who was a professor at Columbia. That put him into a different preference category - "children of faculty" - where his ruse was easily discovered.
The New York Times just reported on the story. Using the hacked data from Columbia, we found that Zohran Mamdani claimed to be Black when he applied to Columbia. Despite his fake race and the fact that he listed his father—a professor there—on his application, he was rejected.
Never heard of this place before, now on the bucket list.
My wife and I were bumming around the New River Gorge last weekend and visited the “ghost town” of Thurmond, WV, which was called the Dodge City of the East. It’s right in the middle of the gorge. Some pics…🧵

The South African government gave them land, but sadly didn't build a fence for them too, so the dairy farm collapsed from mismanagement, corruption, lack of maintenance and theft. Cautionary tale. Redistribution of resources doesn't work.
