Day 8 of the Sacsayhuaman walls excavations. This is it. The bottom has been reached in all 3 pits. In the deepest one (first video) the bottom block sits at about 190cm/6.2ft. Now, the most interesting part can begin — Soil sampling and dating! Once the analyses have been done, we should finally know when these walls have been built! Place your bets!

Sacsayhuaman excavation update. Soil samples from under the blocks have been collected for Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating. Results coming soonish! How old do you think it will be?

Wikipedia is already trying to erase it

This can’t be true, whatever happened to trust and commitment?

“Woke” is when you: 1. Reduce individuals to group identities 2. Reduce these group identities to “victims” and “oppressors” 3. Reduce any disagreement with these reductions to “oppression” or “bigotry”

I challenge anyone who claims to be ‘#antiwoke’ to define- as specifically as possible- what they think ‘woke’ actually means. Go ahead. I’ll wait. If you can’t or won’t do it, I’m going to go ahead and assume you’re just a bigot. RT/tag people, please, I want actual answers!

This guy blocked me after I replied to his rather absurd claim of misogyny as the reason people are being so critical of Emily Wilson’s translation of “The Odyssey.” But I actually think it’s quite fantastic that we’re having conversations about epic poems, even if the premise is annoyingly incorrect. It’s bound to cause people to be curious and pick up a copy for themselves, to see what all the fuss is about. PS just avoid the Wilson translation, unless you’d like something that reads more like a series of text messages, stripped of language, heart, musicality

New talking points dropped.

Naughty Dog shills in full blown cope mode

Let's see if saying it in yet another new way helps anyone understand: The problem: Most men are not perceived as attractive by women who do not know them (about 80-95%). Men who are not initially attractive to women must compensate in other ways, almost always through provision. Artificially, systematically removing men's opportunities to provide leaves them with no options. Men with no options don't behave. The cause: Feminism and other forms of entitlement leftism create policy that claims to promote "equality" and "equity" under the false premise that income and power differences are due to "unfairness." Those differences in outcome are actually mostly attributable to differences in individual and group ability, as well as preferences and free association. Therefore, "equality" and "equity" policies that claim to promote "fairness" actually reduce fairness by excluding large portions of groups with higher ability, leaving them with insufficient entry points to functional participation. "I don't care. Wahh! Whiny incel!" You don't have to! No one can force you to love these people or wish them success. This affects you anyway. It is unwise to imagine that these groups, who have high levels of ability and are aware of their systematic disenfranchisement from the societies, economies, and governments that their ancestors built for them, are going to take this sitting down. If you support demographic-based redistribution policy, there is a large chance that you will be held accountable for the misery and damage that these policies have created. What you can do: First of all, go right ahead and forget about expecting these people to forget about this or to accept it. "If they all just learn to deal with it, there will be no problem." That's not going to happen. They will not all just. Large numbers of people never just. I know! If only they would just! But they just won't. Dissident sentiment emerges in response to real or perceived conditions. These particular conditions are real, and they have long ago exceeded the threshold of tolerance. Yes, yes, I know: "No one owes you! You're just a loser!" Mocking them for not tolerating it isn't going to change anything. In fact, it will only reduce the already dwindling goodwill among them. You may as well tell a bear: "no one owes you a picnic basket! Just be happy with whatever's in the woods!" Bear don't care. The solution to this problem includes, but is not limited to, a return to free association (the right to exclude) and the elimination of demographic quotas. In other words, if you keep trying to engineer equal outcomes among people with different abilities, you're going to keep creating dissident sentiment among people who would naturally achieve better outcomes, and those are really the last people you want to be dissident. They're good at outcomes. You basically just sat down at a game you didn't create, outnumbered the people who created it, then told 30 million gadget-loving, tech-literate leaders and engineers that they're not allowed to play their own game anymore because it's yours now, so they're making a new one just for themselves. Whoops! "Now I'm cranky! I want to keep believing that I'm the hero!" If you do not agree with what I'm saying here, it is almost certainly because you lack the scope of awareness to see that you are hacking away at the support structures holding up everything that you value, or you're too emotional to become conscious of what you know to be true. Either that or you're a liar and you know what you're doing. In any case, bad idea. Government-mediated special treatment by demographic is singularly responsible for every major domestic political issue on the table right now. Stop supporting it!

𝕏 stands out as the most politically balanced social media platform. Unlike many other platforms, 𝕏 has an almost equal split between Democrat (48%) and Republican (47%) news consumers. As you would expect, the data don't align with the "right-wing dominance" narrative projected by traditional media.

There have already been several replies to this thread in under 20 minutes claiming that Cenk is "coming around" and that he "almost gets it" and he "might be useful." You lack discernment. He is cynically calculating what he must say in order to remain relevant. He is a serpent, a professional liar, and his interests do not align with yours. When professional liars speak, you must assume they are lying. Even if you agree with what they say.

@pcgamer I would love to ratio PC GAMER for being stupid if that’s cool

"Media literacy" means realizing that more or less every movie, TV show, song, stand-up comedy special, etc. is just "and then everyone clapped"

Why aren’t men reading more? What is the industry putting out there for them TO read?

Bernie Sanders criticises the Democratic Party following Donald Trump’s win: “It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.”
