Everyone blames cars for social atomization, but in the early 20th century there was an array of social “third-places” built around the car. Something much deeper broke on a societal level in the 60s and 70s, and again post 2007. Cars are just an easy scapegoat.

People will hate on him for this, but Peter Hitchens is right. You can’t complain about the atomisation of society while also stanning cars.

Media coverage of Darien migration has, in my view, given the wrong impression of what it was actually like. It’s not a do-or-die “sixty miles in hell” trek. It’s a well-worn route, a trip that was entirely managed, between cartels and NGOs. The NGOs receiving migrants at Bajo Chiquito likely incentivized the banditry that happened in the cartel section — armed robberies and rape were rampant. But the NGOplex didn’t care about that, they only cared about moving as many bodies north as possible. Also, I find it hard to believe that the deaths that occurred on the trail were from exhaustion and disease. It’s a one-day, or maybe overnight, hike. On a cleared trail. I find it far likelier that those people died violently during cartel shakedowns. The picture I got of Darien was not one of tragic inevitability, or a natural movement of desperate people. It was an assembly-line process created entirely by international organizations, totally enmeshed with cartels and other criminals.

Here’s how migration through Darien worked — the path we saw, at least. Migrants in Colombia were taken by boat to a trailhead on the Caribbean side, where they’d meet with cartel “guides.” From there they’d hike about 20 miles to the headwaters of the Tuquesa River, where they’d be picked up in canoes and taken to Bajo Chiquito — the Embera village we visited. They’d be greeted by aid NGOs, and processed by SENAFRONT via their office there — which under Panama’s last administration was made into a legal entry point. They’d receive food and water from the UN, USAID, etc. — and when possible they’d be ferried downriver to the Pan-American Highway. In the meantime, they’d camp in massive tent cities in Bajo Chiquito and Marraganti. This entire process was managed, guided, and pushed along by millions of international aid dollars at every step. Even this difficult, remote section of the trip north was assembly-line managed by a well-funded, international network.

@USN_Submariner I know next to nothing about submarines, so forgive me for asking: why do the Columbias keep the dive planes on the sail like the old Ohios when US attack subs from the 688i onwards moved them to the bow?

@spumdonor I definitely remember there being lots of books about trains and trucks and such when I was little in the early 2000s. I remember having the one on the right. Really a shame to hear libraries aren't stocking them

You can know intellectually that we live in a "female-oriented" culture or whatever you want to call it, but you don't really experience that until you have a son & are looking for books at your local library about fire trucks or trains (which he suddenly became fascinated with at 20 months without any prompting) & without exaggeration, the only ones I could find were a single Thomas the Tank Engine book & one called "The Train" (how my eyes lit up!) which turned out to be about Native Americans forced to go to residential schools. Zip for anything about fire trucks or firefighters, not even in the Kids' Science / Technology section. I have begun to suspect that the emphasis on dinosaurs in our culture, besides providing unofficial promotion for the Jurassic Park franchise, exists to give boys a watered down outlet for masculine interests since dinosaurs are something powerful, with conflict & danger involved. But it's all inherently neutered, because they've been dead & gone since forever, they're safely in the past. A similar thing applies to superheroes; they're not real & their conflicts aren't really relatable so they're deemed acceptable for boys. Anyways, I know this has gotten worse since I was a kid in the 90s because yeah the libraries were run by libtard women then too, & there were plenty of books about dinosaurs in the wake of Jurassic Park, but there were also plenty of those Stephen Biesty cross-section books about castles etc, or Richard Scarry books about fire stations, & those books are still in print but the point of a public library (ostensibly) is to provide a well rounded opportunity for education. Of course they have a dedicated wall for whatever made up event like Latinx Heritage Month or Pacific Islander Appreciation month, but you'll have to hunt & peck for anything a normal young boy might be interested in.

She’s just shucked off all her clothes but the one sock, quick-lit a fag, curled so all her skin can touch itself over a letter from…dear old aunty Brigid over in Donegal?
afrodite🪮@brownsugaaaa3

this man understood women. wow. she’s not even sexualized as she’s naked, she’s just existing as most of us do: random fondling of body parts, weird pose, stomach rolls and a messy environment. he does not attempt to make her this sexualized ideal like so much other nude art does
