I don't claim that the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, or the mounting evidence supporting it, "prove" my ideas about a lost civilization. But the timing of the proposed cataclysm intrigues me and seems relevant as part of a much wider argument. https://t.co/zvjV1bvxrl

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Everyone—and not just @theinformation—should be genuinely terrified that the richest man in the world has built a Large Language Model that spouts propaganda in his image. This isn’t free speech. It’s a massive, massive thumb on the scale, from one of the most powerful

Saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and I was really struck by that song Joy where he sings “We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it the time for joy.” I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s about right.
