Spectre Makhno

Letter from a fallen comrade in arms. If you can't resonate with his writing please don't interact with me. theanarchistlibrary.org/library/davyd-…

A Cornell lab technician parked for free near a cemetery to save a few bucks on parking. Her walk to work turned into one of the largest wildlife discoveries of the decade. Rachel Fordyce cut through East Lawn Cemetery on her way to a Cornell entomology lab. One spring day in 2022, she noticed bees all over the cemetery, collected some in a jar, and brought them to her supervisor, Cornell entomologist Bryan Danforth. They identified them as Andrena regularis, the regular mining bee. What nobody knew yet was how many were living under the grass. In spring 2023, researchers set emergence traps across the nesting area and did the math. Their estimate: about 5.56 million regular mining bees emerging from the cemetery soil, with a likely range of 3.1 million to 8 million. That makes East Lawn Cemetery one of the largest known aggregations of solitary ground-nesting bees ever recorded. These are not hive bees. Each female digs and provisions her own underground nest, but huge numbers can nest side by side when the soil and food supply are right. About 75% of bees are solitary ground nesters, and most people never notice them because there is no big impressive hive to point to. Records show Andrena regularis has been collected at East Lawn Cemetery since at least 1935. The bees were not new, we just hadn't understood the scale of what was under our feet. The bees also appear to matter far beyond the cemetery fence. Cornell’s apple orchard sits about 600 meters away, and surveys found Andrena regularis was the most abundant pollinator there, even more common than managed honey bees. The cemetery population is likely a major source of those orchard pollinators. Cemeteries make good habitat for exactly the reasons you would expect: relatively undisturbed soil, little tilling, fewer pesticides, and decades or even centuries of being mostly left alone. If one overlooked cemetery can hold millions of native bees, how many other aggregations are sitting under lawns, churchyards, old fields, and abandoned corners nobody has checked, one construction project away from disappearing before anyone knows what was lost?

🚨URGENT Jihadist gangs affiliated with HTS are attacking Kurdish villages! 10 young Kurdish men arrested on charges of belonging to "remnant" forces in Tal Aran and Tal Hasel (Aleppo countryside), involving the participation of over 200 vehicles. In the video, women are screaming, begging not to be hit, yet gangs are attacking women and young people.

We protect 100-year-old buildings as historic treasures, then cut down 500-year-old trees for furniture. That's insane. An old-growth tree isn't just some big tree. It is a living carbon bank, seed source, cooling system, water filter, fungal network, bird nursery, insect factory, and archive of centuries of weather, fire, drought, and survival. The older it gets, the more jobs it does. Big old trees store enormous amounts of carbon, and research has found they can keep adding carbon faster as they grow larger. Some ancient trees add more carbon in a single year than an entire mid-sized tree contains. They also make habitat younger trees can't cough up. Cavities for owls and bats. Broken limbs for nesting birds. Dead wood for beetles and fungi. Mossy bark for lichens and invertebrates. Cool, damp microclimates for salamanders and seedlings. Fallen logs that feed the soil for decades. A thousand-year-old tree is not 'renewable' in any meaningful human timeframe. Cut it down for furniture, flooring, paper, or profit, and the ecosystem it carried does not come back when someone plants a replacement seedling. We already protect old churches, courthouses, barns, bridges, and battlefields because they connect us to the past. Old-growth trees do that too.

AfD will always side with Russia against Germany and Europe. They are actual traitors

I was most sympathetic to authoritarian leftist ideas when I was the least well read. The more I read, the less sympathetic I was. The majority of authoritarian leftists don't read widely. They just memorize thought terminating cliches.

Woke 1.0 has hit Ukraine

HAHAHAHA STAY THE FUCK OUT

You could start doing stuff at any moment. I'm just a random fucking idiot. I was born in a trailer, in a middle of nowhere town, with average grades and no skills or college degree. I just committed to fighting entropy, honestly, fully, without some dickriding obsession with tribe or clout or identity or political alignment. You can too nerd, probably MUCH better than me.

But the real answer isn't that Elon and Nikkita are pro-surveillance for the normal reasons. It's because they're AI bros and want infinite data all the time streaming into their models so they can build a God. They want these cameras for that. It's not even hyperbolic, half these people unironically believe in stupid shit like Roko's Basilisk.

People are dragging him for walking in with his finger on the trigger but you have to understand that he’s trained to do that when he sees children

Circassian regions of KBR, KChR, and Adygeya report the arrival of additional Russian troops tasked with forcibly enlisting locals into the army for deployment to the front in Ukraine. Lawyers advise on social media to avoid contact as long as possible and, if cornered, refuse any papers from recruitment officers. In KBR alone, the goal is to forcibly mobilize at least 3,500 men. One mother reports her son missing from university, only to receive a notice two weeks later that he was killed in Ukraine. She claims he was kidnapped by recruiters and sent to the front without consent. Leaving Russia is not an option for most, and resisting Russian forces in the Caucasus is traditionally branded as “extremism” and “terrorism.” Russia intends to kill three rabbits with one bullet: eliminate the remaining Circassians, feed its war machine, and sow grievances between Ukrainian and Circassian peoples, both victims of its genocidal wars.

I personally think he's still cute

why do you think they call us children? because they view children as unruly and incapable. to them, children are to be controlled, reprimanded, and reshaped into compliant adults. compliant adults who embrace their position in the hierarchy. that's what they'd like to do to us.

@theelishev @JetElectricEyes Yeah this stuff about a quick accession was always a pipe dream. EU ag interests are ludicrously powerful and they hate Ukraine. The association agreement was held up by Dutch ag interests.
