Archaeologist here. For 99.5% of human history (ca 300-400,000 years), we were peaceful (no war). There was conflict and smaller scale violence, but countless studies on the 119 known modern hunter gatherer groups show cooperation, negotiation, and peace instead of conflict. Please read books.
Revenge/physical combat was how people settled things for literally millions of years, it's normal human behavior, we're wolves not sheep, the government project trying to social engineer us and domesticate us into sheep has been unsuccessful

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

A vicious, low intelligence thug. Yet the majority of Americans voted for him knowing full well who he is. A complete and utter disgrace.
The Trump administration told states that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, in a move that added to the chaos surrounding the nation’s largest anti-hunger program during the government shutdown. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

Excellent essay here on the slow strangling of mass literary culture in the West - most clearly in the US, but it's obviously happening here too

Busy busy time for many folk musicians rehearsing/preparing for their autumn/winter tours. The best way to support them is by getting your tickets well in advance both for the artists and the amazing venues and staff - they all work so hard together to bring us the joy that is live music.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

If 60 people were killed then the ceasefire isn’t fragile. It’s non existent. More lies and death from Netanyahoo.
Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 60 overnight as ceasefire looks increasingly fragile
Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 60 overnight as ceasefire looks increasingly fragile
Netanyahu ordered strikes on Tuesday evening after firefight between Israeli troops and Palestinian militants
Israeli airstrikes on Gaza overnight killed at least 60 Palestinians, including 22 children, in what appeared to be the gravest challenge yet to the increasingly fragile US-brokered ceasefire and one of the deadliest days since the truce began.
The strikes, which according to Gaza’s civil defence agency killed many children and injured 200 people, took place hours after the US president, Donald Trump, said “nothing” would jeopardise the ceasefire agreement he helped broker. Continue reading...

I'm definitely becoming a year zero guy for social media. shut it the fuck down. go back to RSS feeds and vbulletin forums. it should be more costly run a social media platform, doing so should involve more legal exposure, and it should be more difficult to access them.

That’s basically what it is going to be it in terms of making music..rich kids. The music industry is not a place you can earn a living any longer.
It wouldn't be so annoying that only the rich kids get to make movies and music if it wasn't so boring. Rich kids simply have nothing to say. Have you sat through the comedy? Just saying nothing! The observation is even so bland. No POV, just beautiful cinematography.
