Not the late Bronze Age collapse sounding familiar
![Excerpt from Wikipedia re: causes of the late Bronze Age collapse.
"General systems collapse theory, pioneered by Joseph Tainter, proposes that societal collapse results from an increase in social complexity beyond a sustainable level, leading people to revert to simpler ways of life.[63] The growing complexity and specialization of the Late Bronze Age political, economic, and social organization made the organization of civilization too intricate to reestablish once seriously disrupted.
The critical flaws of the Late Bronze Age (its centralization, specialization, complexity, and top-heavy political structure) were exposed by sociopolitical events (revolt of peasantry and defection of mercenaries), fragility of all kingdoms (Mycenaean, Hittite, Ugaritic, and Egyptian), demographic crises (overpopulation), and wars between states. Other factors that could have placed increasing pressure on the fragile kingdoms include piracy by the Sea Peoples interrupting maritime trade, as well as drought, crop failure and famine."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tqb4bqye5a5m5x4f4yw45mdf/bafkreidwknr3lxaro7bgm5rhktc5nvqzkgoecmfx3avzczxvhqhr7zk5ky@jpeg)

"The idea that gender is fluid is evil."
I wonder what direction that statement comes from: dense ideology or pure ignorance? How would this person classify high heels on shoes? Maaculine or feminine? How would she react to evidence from Louis XIV's court?

Almost 400 people pardoned or granted clemency by President Donald Trump in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol are now seeking millions of dollars in payouts from the federal government.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

It is completely ludicrous to be zapping people from beyond visual range while talking about them "returning to the fight." What 'fight'? It's putting ants under a magnifying glass. Admiral Bradley, Hegseth and yes the poor sap who pushed the button must all hang.

A Seattle project is going through (now out of compliance) design review where planners are still demanding housing projects reduce height bulk & scale beyond the zoning. This is an illegal request so they made the developer “volunteer” to stay in threatening to pull vesting date putting it at risk
