March 28, 1926: Mussolini and the Fascists celebrate the seventh anniversary of the party with events across Italy, including a speech by II Duce in Rome and a march in Florence. Addressing foreign listeners, Mussolini says they too must become one-party dictatorships to withstand crises. 1/2

Would you look at that, we’re having twins 🌰🌱🌱 #twinoaks #blessed

Here is a real photo of a beaver by Troy Harrison. The claws clearly show that this animal is uniquely and significantly equipped to engineer a biome in ways that benefit the environment. AI is mutilating animals by removing their essential anatomy.

The ability to own a home for the price of a small car, with the option to take it with you as circumstance dictates, is an anti-fragile superpower.

In the dark times, will there also be hot tubbing? Yes, there will be hot tubbing, to rue and sublimate the dark times 🌬️🫧

“Forgotten Mastery” - Philip Perkins, 1948

This point I think gets at a larger one in that we don’t readily acknowledge key distinctions btwn qualified experts and capable leaders/operators; the latter demanding even greater (& unverifiable!) trust.

Regions that have successfully reversed groundwater depletion often use a combination of strategies, including alternative water sources, policy changes, and aquifer recharge. Multi-pronged approaches show the most promise. doi.org/hbtbwh

I wrote up what the Iran War and crisis in the Strait of Hormuz means for the world. If this continues to spiral, we may be heading for a very different world than the one we currently inhabit. The last bit of normal may be gone for a generation. www.thedissident.news/the-last/

They have no gods. They work magic, and think they are gods themselves. But they are not. And when they die, they become dust and bone, and their ghosts whine on the wind a little while till the wind blows them away. They do not have immortal souls.

If you had to focus all your rage/discontent on like three people such that they crumbled to dust and blew away, who?

Welp…gonna need a deeper cave system ⛏️🪏💥

Incoherence is internally contradictory. Which talk are you walking? You can't have muscle memory of a conflicted set of operating instructions.

This is where ive been going to get somatic with the grass as required lately. It’s perfect.

We have reached the present position in the progress and evolution of our knowledge, as we have in the evolution of our species, with no beacon to guide us, nor any goal (4/4) — David Bloor, Knowledge and Social Imagery, p. 159

voting is a historically unusual & fragile mechanism sitting atop a deeper, almost law-like process of emergent systems solving collective action problems. when democracies fail at provision, the primordial, fundamental legitimation process reasserts itself and people abandon the fragile mechanism.

If you thought two party system was sub-optimal, wait till the impending forced slog through years of de facto single party schizophrenic paralysis until something coherent gels to windward ⛵️

In Phoenix, Arizona, temperatures could reach an unbelievable 107°F (+42°C) on Friday. If that verifies, it would break the record for the earliest occurrence of 107°F since records began in 1895, pulverising the previous record by a whopping 44 days. This is totally bonkers.

“Insured losses from natural catastrophes in the U.S. averaged $100 billion a year between 2023 and 2025, up from an annual average of around $15 billion per year a decade earlier”

Peter Parker was on the path to curdling misanthropy and possibly outright supervillainy, and that kind of selfish callousness is still a slight pull on his thinking: that's why he's constantly overcompensating to a degree that damages his life even without the stresses of secret superheroing

Frank Herbert managed to grasp that “hysteria” is the external manifestation of an internal struggle against the intrusive thoughts planted by patriarchal systems, resistance to an internalized male gaze that feels like demonic possession. I love Dune, I am so grateful that it exists.

Need to keep reminding myself how utterly terrified most caucasians are of who they’d be without someone telling them how to act and what to do. And all the twisted ways that’s projected outward…the loathing

Really good inside look at un-fluffing narratives for transformation. “what has gone wrong with our storytelling that we somehow can’t land the idea that we could totally turn this around…to build what we wanted?”

This kinda walkable hood tho >>>

Did you know foxes climb trees? I did not, but just watched a fleet footed mama shoot up to the very top of a big oak on the tail of a squirrel, made it walk the plank and fall to the ground, shot down after it and pounce on the mark. Looked back at me with mouth full and waltzed off smiling.

All leads back to Kubrick again 😩

A fundamental vulnerability predatory delay has exploited is the difficulty we have remembering we lose wealth when the loss becomes inevitable, not when we're forced to confront it. The debt happens when we tap the credit card, not when the bill notification arrives. Our bills are piling up.

Macbeth was just on that grindset when he said tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

Soaking is back on the agenda. Little tweak here and there on the mud + stone stem walls to shore and level, and all good for a fifth season! $50 hot tub life hack icyni:
