Go west, young Siberian razibkhan.com/p/go-west-youn… A 1999 paper in Nature identified a mutation on the human Y chromosome with a geographic distribution that, depending on where you stood, was either peculiar or deeply validating. The mutation was later found to be part of the N1c…

we need to surpass nashville
NASHVILLE JUST PASSED 6-STORY SINGLE-STAIR REFORM! Nashville officially becomes the third-largest city to legalize single-stair apartment buildings up to six stories, outdoing Austin who recently passed a 5-story code update passed earlier this year. LET'S FREAKIN GO NASHVILLE
yes, i mean unofficially. if your name is muhammad you are not white in american day-to-day life lebanese christians are white (tiffany, ralph nader). muslim middle easterners are not so a sicilian is white. a turk is non-white. add -ez to your name makes you non-white
actually in official US classifications Middle Easterners are white!
Trump demands immediate full release of all Epstein files not pertaining to April 10-13, 2002, June 25-30, 2003, and November 3-9, 2004, describing those date ranges as "probably very boring" and "not something anyone should read or ask follow-up questions about."
what GLP tells us is that people eat too much the rest is commentary
I like Calley and I think we want the same things but my main difference is the idea that companies should be celebrated for admittedly minuscule changes in fundamentally destructive food I also think it’s grotesque for the Secretary of HEALTH to go and dine at a fast food chain…
Every moral panic about new media is correct, from literacy on down. They overstate how bad it is, and underestimate the adjustment, but literacy did kill memorization. Recorded music did kill making music together. TV did kill socialization, then social media killed it more.
My current rough sense of history is that the last "moral panic" about social media turned out to be accurate warnings. The bad things actually happened, as measured by eyeball and by instrument. Now we all live in the wreckage. Anyone want to dispute this?
- wide funnel - high velocity - fail fast - iterate - pivot good luck! all of life is a match problem
the best advice i ever got was to 'go out there and get your heart broken'. And this isn't just romantic life advice - it applies to work and friendships. Volunteer yourself, ask people to hang out, get rejected by people, places and things to find your product market fit
It is difficult to get a man to notice something, when his standing within his social and professional circles depends on his not noticing it.
There are much more structural variants within our genomes than previously conceived, >26,000 per person nature.com/articles/s4158… nature.com/articles/s4158…
in the USA both are nonwhite because hispanics are placed into nonwhite (yes, spaniards are white, but if a spaniard wants to say they are brown/poc no one will object cuz name)
Per "Albion's Seed" by David Hackett Fischer. This one's coming in November: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/763188/n…
i think this is it it's nice believing in principle. it is a rock
If you believe everything is about power, you’re going to want power.
i think this is fair within reason...but at the founding there were quite distinctive regional anglo cultures with distinctive regional british origins. the 19th-century and the trauma and reconciliation of the civil war smoothed a lot out...
Modern Americans underestimate how much of a monoculture this was. There weren’t even like Irish or Italian immigrants, really.
I think you will find Albion’s Seed eye opening. All from the same island, but four highly distinctive cultures—Yankee, Cavaliers, Quaker, Scots-Irish.

This is literally in the book. Wild that anyone takes DemandProgress seriously when they just nakedly lie over and over
The Trump White House is explicitly signaling its alignment with the abundance movement. When it comes to energy, seems like there’s very little difference between MAGA prescriptions and Thompson/Yglesias prescriptions. Profoundly horrible.
iow, hunter biden is 'based'
The reason so many are saying this about Hunter Biden (even on the right; @realchrisrufo echoed the sentiment), is because for the first time, someone on the left is actually just speaking authentically and owning up to the asshole that he really is. No airs, no vague…
It's mostly because we beat the fascists decisively in WWII, whereas the communists were around for a lot longer, and so spent more time within the Overton Window.
In all seriousness, can someone explain to me why being a fascist is unacceptable, but openly being a communist is perfectly fine?
I don’t think she’s attacking anyone. It’s a fair question for taxpaying citizens of all backgrounds — why are we struggling with jobs, hospital access, and even a decent TTC ride? Both Conservatives and Liberals have failed on unchecked intake of asylum seekers and students.
Kitchener-Waterloo population grew by THIRTEEN percent in ONE YEAR from ONE COLLEGE This international student SCAM from only Conestoga is insane !!!! And we all know it’s only one country…. Video below.
