1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed
A lecture about the late Bronze Age collapse and its various and complex causes, by the author of the book of the same name.
I’m a minor history buff with a particular interest in Neolithic and Bronze Age history, and I loved all ~70 minutes of this video!
Honorable mention to anything from Premodernist, especially his top video Advice for time traveling to medieval Europe and its follow up Q&A.
Ever used one for honey? You’ll never go back to trying to use anything else.
An important part of the demagafication of America will be accepting back those who admit they were wrong.
I love a ride down Jean Baptiste Point du Sable Lake Shore Drive
Turns out when you insult the family of one of their comrades and threaten to punish them if they don’t fall in line, it really makes people wanna tell you no.
In fact, I’d go so far as to encourage copying others. Not plagiarising outright, as in claiming it as your own, but taking a concept and doing it yourself.
“Oh that game is just a copy of Animal Crossing.”
You think you can make a better Animal Crossing? Go for it. Let me decide who did it better and which one I wanna play.
Also, it’s not like the problems were only caused by Nedry or his team being understaffed or incompetent. Quite the opposite. He was a bad actor. And a bad actor in the right position can cause a lot of damage. He purposefully sabotaged the park in a way that couldn’t have been easily averted.
Homesteading is incredibly hard work, though.
Unless they’re assuming a certain resolution of measurement.
Every county in VA moved further to the left except for four, some of them by double digits.
The VA and NJ governor races weren’t even close.
Mississippi flipped a couple state seats and broke the Republican supermajority.
Georgia elected two Democrats in red areas to state positions that haven’t been held by Democrats in a long time.
And then of course there’s CA Prop 50, which cancels out Texas’ redistricting and was done via the will of the people.
Overall a very good night!
An open-faced sandwich isn’t even a sandwich.
Here’s the thing. What we watched wasn’t the “real world” events of Star Trek, it was a holodeck recreation. So we’ve already got built-in plausible deniability of the accuracy of those events!
Just got a Switch 2. Been playing a little Mario Kart World, a little Wind Waker, and started a new playthrough in Breath of the Wild and have really been enjoying the performance upgrades.
He cannot “cancel the election.” States run elections, not the federal government.
The Colorado situation was always going to be an uphill battle. How do you envision this happening? Federal goons going into every swing state and forcing him onto their ballots? And then people proceeding to vote in a candidate they know shouldn’t be on there?
States run their own elections, and they won’t put him on their ballots. Maybe some would, but most would not.
Sure, except your body moves a little bit on the bed over the course of the year. So by adjusting the blanket you’re adding more coverage to your body for that portion of the year.
How about all religions?
Me, except no porn so I’m ravenous for that pussy when she gets back.
Reminder, do not listen to the doomers who have told you that elections would be canceled or rigged.
Dozens of elections have taken place over the last year, and the Democrats have flipped 21 percent of GOP-held legislative seats in 2025 and are currently +13 compared to 2024. GOP has flipped 0. There has been a blue wave so far that has affected special Congressional elections, gubernatorial and mayoral races, all the way down to local school boards.
This district that Clemons won was, I believe, Harris +5 in the presidential election. Quite a swing here, as we’ve seen over and over in 2025.
