Urgent appeal to save student Maram Muqat
Student Maram Abd Mahmoud Abd Al-Ghaffar Muqat, a high school senior, was shot while returning home from school, leaving a bullet lodged in her spinal cord and causing paralysis in the lower part of her body.
Her condition is critical, and the specialized treatment she needs is not available in Gaza.
We urgently appeal to international institutions, humanitarian organizations, and people of goodwill to intervene immediately to evacuate Maram from Gaza and secure her travel abroad for treatment before it is too late.
Maram was striving for her future… today, she needs someone to give her a new chance at life.
Help save her. Share her appeal.

@PAstynome I've never seen a guy who frequently contradicts himself within a single sentence being able to command global markets with as little as a tweet. People who should know better act like every word that comes out of his mouth is manifest reality.

I honestly don’t understand why the capital markets think Trump is a credible voice or authority.

@GRRLTWINK @hueoops this doesn’t have much to do with Calvinism and they’re basically against each other theologically, more a offspring of the New Thought and Pentecostalism

White preaches prosperity theology, where money is a sacrosanct reward and therefore only rich people go to heaven
this also means everything that happened on epstein island therefore is sanctioned by their god and virtuous
this is the spiritual foundation of the trump regime

@RedGreenBC Thomas Levenson wrote an excellent book about the South Sea bubble called Money for Nothing. There’s also Bubble in the Sun, about the Florida land bubble in the 1920’s that helped cause the crash.

Couldn't finish the Chernow book about JP Morgan because it was the same shit about how honest genteel titans of industry were torn apart by angry mobs at the urging of swarthy rabble-rousers. Does anyone know any good midwit financial histories? I'll read Ferguson if I have to.

Truly awful stuff. "Too big to fail" was exculpatory access journalism with zero historical value but at least it was exciting. Brian Windhorst has done less hagiography in his writing career than this guy. Read if you must but do not buy.

Indians don't care that these under-18 girls spend all day begging to meet a quota set by gangsters who control them like literal slaves and abuse them if their quota is unmet.
All that is important is why won't they agree to be an angry stranger' servant for one quarter of the minimum wage.

A woman confronts begging Ladies on the roadside, offers one a ₹5,000/month job. They refuse & continue begging. Choice or desperate circumstances?

@realLPBeria Wasn’t it 10-20 for the enslaved and 5-15 for the slavers? They had far higher mortality than any other sailors but the enslaved below-deck still had a higher death rate
English
I’m surprised slave-trade critics didn’t point to the apocalyptic tropical-disease death rates of the Europeans involved. (Slave-ship crews had higher mortality than their victims!)
Like, this seems like *pretty strong* empirical evidence that God doesn’t want you doing this.

@avrilbradley23 this is funny because if you dropped the average anti-social rightoid weeb in a high context culture like Japan they would end up going insane in a few weeks, the type of American who would do well in Japan would be either a center-right finance bro or a hipster lib.

Famously Late-Mediaeval England had no middle class, which is why they created a whole chamber of parliament to represent this non-existent group
Jonathan Mills@Muinchille
An interesting way to measure wealth. Once England started paying Danegeld in the Viking crisis, it developed a uniquely effective system of exaction from its population, making its nobility & institutions fabulously wealthy and its people very poor. Unlike the rest of Europe, there was no middle class, and no intellectual life or scientific development.

@souljagoyteller @RashmanTheHorse I read around 500-1000 pages a day depending on what I’m reading. I average 600 minutes of reading a day, or 10 hours.

@RashmanTheHorse Per day I can understand finding that hard. Per week? That’s about 30-40 pages a day!

Yes. It's really not that much. This entire discourse captures the literacy crisis.

色々勘違いしてる日本人がたまにいるけど、
クリスチャンシオニズムを主要な神学的土台にしているのは、バチカンではなく英米プロテスタント、特にディスペンセーション主義教会にあります。
広がったのはバチカンのせい、と考えるのは間違い。
カトリックはずっとスコフィールド聖書に批判的です。

@parasociality a lot of Amish would probably increase the “English” growth rate, in the same way that secular Israelis in Hasidic neighborhoods have more children or anglos (black or white) tend to have more children in higher growth Hispanic neighborhoods.
English
There any many reasons to be skeptical of this sort of "the future will be majority Amish" extrapolation.
But for the sake of argument, let's imagine it came to pass.
The result would not be a world *run* by the Amish. It would be a world where all technology and

Les Amish ne convertissent personne. Croissance 100% endogène. Taux de fécondité : 6,1. Rétention : 84%. Ils doublent tous les 20 ans depuis un siècle. Simulation : 99,9% de la population à TFR 1,4 (Europe) contre 0,1% à TFR 6,1 (les chiffres réels des Amish aux USA). Au bout de 150 ans la culture minoritaire représente... 71% de la population. @robinhanson appelle ça "l'avenir insular-fertile" : les cultures qui ne font pas d'enfants lèguent le monde à celles qui en font. Voilà le monde vers lequel on se dirige si les libéraux (au sens très large) laissent le problème de la dénatalité à l'ED.
