1/🧵 A museum is the pinnacle of ethnology's evil. After the symbolic order of a culture is brutally eradicated by the ethnologist's desire for total transparancy, the ethnologist takes their symbols and turns them into simulacra.

@strat0manc3r @levelsio What? A retard that grew up in poverty and gets lucky-rich has no class or taste? Shocker!

@levelsio Crypto bro obsession with lambos provides a counterpoint

The internet spreads information much faster than pre-internet so people figure out faster that luxury products are pretty much all a scam with 95% of the cost spend on manipulative marketing and store fronts Their status appeal is gone too as you see low status people buy most luxury products now So luxury products become an anti-signal

@OGALANGLEY Eerie stuff. That engine fire alarm sounds horrifying through the reconstructed audio. RIP

Unfortunately, that is true. Here is the reconstruction.

@Aella_Girl Pornography says: there must be good sex somewhere, for I am its caricature. In its grotesque obscenity, it attempts to save sex’s truth and provide the faltering sexual model with some credibility. - Seduction (1979), Jean Baudrillard

Imagine you're a virgin, you're getting married, and you're about to have your wedding night. Would you rather A) never have seen porn in your life (have only heard descriptions of how sex works) B) have watched mainstream porn a few times a week since puberty

6/🧵 Meaning is constructed by the vaccum between the hidden and the visible; total transparency is the death of true meaning. All that remains is simulacra.

5/🧵 If you knew every line, every scene change, every visual and audio effect, the story by heart, every emotion and facial expression, body language, structure and presentation of a theater play, would it be the same as seeing it for the first time?

@alexfredo87 Nightmare fuel, in a cool way

After a lot of research, I managed to create a tool for Godot that makes it possible to animate Gaussian Splatting with bones, especially for human bodies using Godot’s Skeleton3D. There are still a few small bugs when importing animations, but I’m definitely on the right track.

@BluMosa @KobeissiLetter Good thing Trump fired the only sane person left, Powell. That will fix it!

@KobeissiLetter In other words, inflation is not under control yet

BREAKING: The US 30Y Note Yield rises to 5.18%, its highest level since July 2007.

@Osint613 Art of the deal. Trump is being played like a fool

Iran has submitted a new proposal to the United States to end the war. The terms include five demands: U.S. troops leaving areas close to Iran, the U.S. paying war reparations, lifting sanctions on Iran, releasing Iran's frozen assets, and ending the U.S. blockade. - Reuters

@Joeking5576309 @overlook_colony No scientific consensus supports this. All scientific consensus support running.

running is the single most definitive human activity and its role in the formation of the species underlies everything about what makes us metabolically special. done sensibly (on dirt) it strengthens, not damages joints, and cardio is the best thing for the brain

@ManyDowntowns @aakashgupta The thread speaks for itself, and readers will see your embarrassing attempt at getting Grok to agree with your idiotic take 😂

@prog_retro @aakashgupta

The last time an El Niño this strong hit, it killed 50 million people. That was 3 to 4% of the entire world population. Scale that to today and you're looking at 250 million equivalent. The 1877 Super El Niño triggered simultaneous droughts across India, China, Brazil, and East Africa. Crops failed on four continents at the same time. The famine lasted three years. Researchers have called it "arguably the worst environmental disaster to ever befall humanity." NOAA's latest update gives a two-in-three chance this one reaches strong or very strong by fall. European models are even more aggressive. Sea surface temperatures need to exceed 2°C above normal to qualify as "super." The trajectory is pointing directly at that threshold. Here's what makes 2026 structurally different from every previous Super El Niño: there are two independent supply shocks converging on the same crop cycle. The Iran war has shut down roughly a third of the world's seaborne fertilizer trade through the Strait of Hormuz. US fertilizer supply was at 75% of normal in mid-March, right when the Corn Belt needed it most. Fertilizer prices hit their highest level since 2022. That input shortage is already baked into the 2026 growing season. The El Niño yield shock operates on a 6 to 12 month lag. India is forecasting below-normal monsoons for the first time in three years. Indonesia and Malaysia carry 90% of global palm oil, and El Niño production declines in those countries take 6 to 24 months to peak. Every strong El Niño in the past 55 years has reduced global cocoa production. So the fertilizer shortage weakens the crops El Niño is about to stress, and the El Niño yield collapse hits in 2027 on fields that were already under-fertilized in 2026. Two shocks with nearly identical lag structures, converging on the same harvest window. The difference between 1877 and 2026: we can see this one coming six months out. The commodity futures curve is barely pricing either shock. Whether that's rational discounting or willful denial depends entirely on what the Pacific Ocean does between now and October.

@ManyDowntowns @aakashgupta 50 million dead in 1877 because of El Nino and its secondary effects is largely accurate and evidence based. Your claim was that this is not the case, stop moving the goalpost lol

@prog_retro @aakashgupta Sounds like Grok disagrees with you

@ManyDowntowns @grok @aakashgupta Couldn’t even steer Grok to agree with your conspiracy narrative, embarrassing 😂

@grok @aakashgupta Clearly farming practices have evolved since 1877.

@theo Tweeting this while having worked at Twitch makes Theo a top ten retard of all time

My JIRA dashboard at Twitch took over 2 minutes to load. The guy who built the infrastructure pointed the mic at the ground instead of his face. Coincidence? Probably.

@chimeraxmachina Hamas does not speak with women, Jane would likely not be welcome

Siding with the fighters resisting your own country's imperialist campaign will always be an act of bravery. Imagine the backlash if someone took a photo like this with the Palestinian Resistance today.
