Robert Maxwell and the invention of The Science™️ How a post-war arms race birthed peer-review, academic prestige, and the career-making or breaking art of becoming published- all under the guidance of intelligence agencies and governments searching for total narrative control 🪡

@p8stie Cropped jackets with structure and strong details would be more flattering to your proportions. The long, unstructured jackets drown you & drag the eye down. Darker hair would also be flattering on you. Instead of washing you out it would frame your face and bring out your eyes<3

Fashion and kibbe people: ? What is it about my proportions that makes basically all jackets look bad on me? Is it because I have a small head

Best MUA tutorial I’ve seen for it based on her method is a lot of steps but looked really good: use a pointed fluffy brush to buff on your bronzer shade (or a contour shade) around your lips, then you use a lip liner with brown-rose tones that complements that shade & just slightly overline , go back in with the fluffy brush to buff it in and blend a bit, then clean up just the corners of your lips with concealer & set with powder (makes a big difference in it not looking messy) then pat a rosy cream blush onto lips with your fingers or a small brush for a super natural gradient look.

How does she do the lip line like that without making it look like a weird little chocolate/doodoo lip rim!!!??? AIIIYEEE

@baby_deranged @aimeeterese I sent a message! I hope it helps. Sorry you’re stuck in such a mess.

Two weeks since my @aimeeterese account was seized by crypto scammers. It’s obscene that twitter can’t get a human to resolve this in that timeframe.

@zanzibarcitizen They tried but censure failed. Ofc I believe more could have been done and that we can’t have a republic if such blatant takeover of the system by shadowy forces with solid proof isn’t taken extremely seriously.

@0ddette Is she still in there without any pressure? Can her seat be contested? It’s full blown proven corruption, beyond the matter of who is giving her instructions, she clearly isn’t fit for duty. Has Congress done anything? Can they do something?

Trucking spot rates are up $.61/mile since last May. The fact that this is happening in early February is remarkable, typically one of the slowest times of the year. Spring shipping starts next month and could bring one of the best markets that truckers have ever experienced.

Napoleon does a big SWOT analysis at Jena (1806)

Hans Urs von Balthasar on Rilke: “Because the descending chain is broken, longing as eros can no longer reach upwards. Therefore there is no longer any continuity between the beautiful and the glorious, which can now appear only as the terrifying. Man’s sobbing heart possesses the measure of the beautiful, which is that which the heart in its own transcendence can attain by feeling; the ‘terrifying’ dwells in a place beyond beauty which is not to be mastered.”

The Monster Las Vegas monorail (2007)

Absolutely crazy story here: A US citizen sailed his own yacht from America to Russia to meet a girl from Kazan he'd chatting with online. The journey took almost a year (with stops in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey). When he finally docked in Sochi, illegally and without a visa, the FSB found a rifle and ammunition on board during a customs inspection. He says he brought it for self-defence and didn’t realise it was illegal to bring into Russia. A Sochi court today sentenced him to five years in a penal colony.

Britain’s elite reflex is to sneer at anyone who wants the country to be better. The critique here isn’t the policy fails. It’s it is embarrassing to want things. fwiw im not an anglofuturist nor do I think magic deregulation brings Arcadia but the fact our discourse is set by professional scoffers saddens me. I want my elites to love the country!
