Politics 10 months, 2 weeks agoI rarely pay attention to up-to-the-minute news. But living in Trumpian times is unlike other times in US history. I heard news that Vance visited one of the Murdochs a few days ago, so the 25th amendment may become relevant? To be honest, I’ve lost sleep in some recent days.

Got cynicism? Hate-spreading people should call others a real life, genderless hate-invoking last name like “Trump” — who’s Donald routinely calls women “nasty” — instead of incidentally bashing a lot of innocent young girls named Karen.

I took a junior college level course four or five years ago in Cultural Anthropology. I don’t remember any sites in this topic mentioned in the text book, although (apparently) we started discovering these sites in the 1990s.
From ChatGPT, my query:
in what areas of the world are we finding new evidence of human, neolithic (or earlier)…[Read more] -

Yo —
I ain’t forget, nah, I etched it in graphite,
That afternoon light, like fate in a fistfight.
Street was a stage, collision was script—
Didn’t see it then, but the ink don’t slip.Heart got jacked like a beat in the mix,
Love scribbled sharp in a moment that sticks.
Organs strung out, nerves all twisted,
Lines got blurred,…[Read more] -

Oh, i remember, i recall, not that i forgot at all. The afternoon, the street; sweet convergence then unknown but put down as a given with the pencil of intent in which true love is written.

Wow. First thought, they must have been able to find a lot of meat; second thought there must have been a lot more natural, edible plants back then. I confirmed with AI, and saw lots of other good info and research on this topic. While “only 5%” of this area has been dug up! And there are some similar sites not far away.

That all makes sense. Yes, you’re a good writer. Here, only Jake invokes more esoteric vocab and poetic-licensed creativity. Enco kinda does that too, but I don’t have the time to look up a lot of his historic references. History was my worst percentile score in high school, along with other Humanities.
