@policytensor Can you document this obvious attribution to Mesolithic people?

Um, the megaliths rule out Childe’s ‘light from the east’ (ex oriente lux). This is obviously the handiwork of Mesolithic people before the arrival of the Neolithic species communities from the center. “"It was built by a very structured society of hunter-gatherers, of a kind that became sedentary when resources permitted. That or it was made by one of the Neolithic populations that arrived here around 5,000 BC," said archaeologist Yvan Pailler.”

@JoanieLemercier Très beau

@30years2053 @GodPlaysCards Producing galleys.

@GodPlaysCards The Venetian Arsenal began in 1104...

While the rest of Europe still built warships one by one like cathedrals, the Dutch quietly invented the world’s first military-industrial assembly line. This is the story of how their floating war machines built a global empire.

@DieinPlace @GeoRebekah If you advocate the full picture, then mention the same data but for men. And then the causation is not so clear anymore.

It's because we just moved the women from inside the marriage to outside. Depression rates among women in the U.S. Overall have steadily increased since the 1970s. In the early 1970s, surveys suggested about 5–7% of women experienced depression symptoms at any given time. By the 2000s, this rose to 10–12%, and today (2021–2023 data) about 16% of women report depression symptoms in the past two weeks, with 23–24% currently diagnosed or treated for depression. I don't advocate one way or another but use the full picture.

@disclosureorg @Mavosa_ That’s called the Internet.

@TaQuIn_MaUvE Et toujours l’immense parking pour les bagnoles des touristes, qui fait la moitié du village.

Un de mes villages préférés en Toscane. Le genre de joyau où tu te dis : "Là, je m'arrête et je ne bouge plus 🤩😍" Bon après... le fait que l’excellent bar/restaurant de mon amie Paola s’y trouve, n’y est pas tout à fait étranger 😄 Une idée ? Non ? Bon vendredi à vous

@AlexTran677026 They made Le Bunker De La Dernière Rafale in 1981. Seriously people, can you check before?

Boundary Breakers - Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro's DELICATESSEN 🎥 A wildly inventive black comedy, French auteurs Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro serve up whimsical fantasy and apocalyptic calamity in this over-the-top dystopian treat. Marking the first collaboration for the directing pair, they gave the world "a true masterpiece of the fantastique"

@iam_smx This is the David from Bernini at Galleria Borghese. 1624 if I recall correctly. Nothing to do with Ancient Rome, except it’s the same city.

Elon Musk has donated $1 million (another $2 million already allocated) to researchers, archaeologists, and students who deal with ancient Rome "I think about the Roman empire everyday"

@Clint_Davey1 Should be Royaume de France

Map for my Reformation game - looks suitably 16th century in style...

@theiiimpact @bennpeifert SV never bet on Holmes. She was more a news prom queen.

@bennpeifert So was Elizabeth holmes...SV do get the wool pulled over their eyes once in a while ;)

Sam Altman is a fascinating new type of person -- someone who is transparently a sociopathic liar and grifter and immensely unlikeable to 99% of humanity, but within Silicon Valley tech bro circles is viewed as incredibly charismatic and visionary

@Interface_art Looks amazing!

Thank you collectors! 💐 The opening day was a succes. We’re grateful to everyone who joined, supported, and collected from the exhibition Vera, a Legacy!

@mmjukic Don’t be afraid of getting old.

Objectively I am mega-bearish on America, Europe, and China equally. I currently do not see any of them reversing the demographic and thus permanent decline of techno-industrial civilization, which will likely play out by 2100. All other discussion is just details until then.

@Le_Figaro Est-ce que cette hémorragie inclue les VIE?

La fuite des cerveaux est un phénomène que l’Europe prête généralement au continent africain. Désormais, la France est pleinement concernée. Une étude Syntec/Ipsos BVA alerte sur l’hémorragie continue des talents qualifiés, via un baromètre inédit. →l.lefigaro.fr/Bpn

@KyriakidisAk @franceinfo @AsmaMhalla Acemoglu et Robinson littéralement disent le contraire: Seules des institutions démocratiques peuvent assurer le progrès technologique et la croissance économique. Quant à Yew, qu’il se tresse des lauriers ne devrait étonner personne.

@PunKandStuff And now it looks like a piece from Agnes Martin

@carreras_anna @liasomething @albagcorral Thxs. Nice that art+tech gets visibility.
