Easter Island and the Allure of β€œLost Civilizations” Why Western writers have shrouded the history of Rapa Nui in myth and mystery.

Who really made the sculptures on Easter Island? β€œThe belief that Indigenous monuments must have been made by outsiders has, in more respectable guises, long shaped Western accounts of Indigenous cultural achievement,” Margaret Talbot writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/y-bRmL

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Beyond the fact that this bugfuck insane letter was written and sent to the leader of Norway, the State Dept agreeing to distribute it to other heads of state instead of objecting and honorably resigning or at the very least planning some kind of coverup is a sign of deep institutional collapse.

I’m increasingly persuaded that it will come down to the military to stop the madness.

The US is now a regime where a parallel police force shoots people and if they get caught they’re backed up by the oligarchs.

They don’t have to cancel elections. They plan to send ICE to swarm election sites in cities in swing states. They’ve been talking about this openly for years. Shoot a few nearby immigrants here, arrest a few citizens there, it doesn’t take a lot of boots on the ground to depress turnout by 20%.

Trump’s β€˜American Dominance’ May Leave Us With Nothing The president’s moves in Venezuela foretell a new global system.

"Trump’s pursuit of an illusory sphere of influence is unlikely to bring us peace or prosperityβ€”any more than the invasion of Ukraine brought peace and prosperity to Russiansβ€”and this might become clear sooner than anyone expects." Ann Applebaum www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Veo a muchos progres indignados con el despido de la antisemita de Francesca Albanese de Georgetown, pero se mantuvieron calladitos cuando la ONU despidiΓ³ a la experta en conflictos Alice Nderitu por decir la verdad sobre el supuesto β€œgenocidio”.

A reminder that before the Trump admin/RFK took over this year, the U.S. had officially declared measles eliminated in 2000.
