Everyone should watch this
Tomorrow we're releasing a full UATX course for free: all 19 lectures of Professor Isabella Reinhardt's Rise and Fall of Ancient Rome, filmed in class with our students. It runs from Rome's mythical founding to the Third Century Crisis. It ends on a question the class spent a whole session arguing about: did Rome ever really fall?

The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts... "By means of all created things, without excaption, the divine assails us, penetrates us, and molds us. We imagined it as distant and inaccessible, when in fact we live steeped in its burning layers." - Pierre Tielhard de Chardin

How can you hate @PalmerLuckey? 🇺🇸
Today, @anduriltech and @qualcomm announced a new laptop that will eventually be 100% made in America, a “first step” toward creating a market for U.S.-manufactured components and total technological self-sufficiency. Building computers in America should be a matter of “national pride,” says @PalmerLuckey. @JonasYDu reports 👇

We’ve been warning about this… check the comments for our breakdown.
FORTRESS: The Pentagon is preparing every major U.S. military base to survive 90 days without outside support — no civilian power grid, no global supply chains, no outside fuel or water. The initiative, revealed in documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, envisions portable nuclear reactors, massive battery storage, and microgrids that can disconnect installations from civilian electricity entirely. Strategic reserves of munitions, fuel, critical minerals, and medical supplies would be stockpiled based on wartime consumption rates. Civilian factories are being pre-identified to shift to defense production during a crisis. Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell put it bluntly: "Power is combat now. Without electricity, you lose communications, water, logistics, assembly lines and just basic military command structures." Full story here foxnews.com/politics/inside-…

In this coming age of AI and the offloading of human intellectual faculties, we must ensure we cultivate our spiritual faculties, lest we lose the ability to discern what is innately human versus what is not.

Similar thing happened to me once. Needless to say the “sparker” is gone.
I have an older gentleman who comes into the shop about once a week. He’s very quiet, says hello, browses books for half an hour or so, finds something he likes, leaves. Today he told me that he has spent years trying to rebuild his library after his wife decided she was

FFS can we stop outsourcing to India?
‼️ BREAKING: The private keys of 8 certificates from Indian certificate authority eMudhra were compromised, Mozilla says. Firefox blocked them within 3 hours. Each key should be a 116-digit number, but one was just 4. Anyone can guess them and forge HTTPS certs for any website.

How many more “radicalizing” events do we need before we decide enough is enough?
It's very important to have political top cover. Make sure you vote.

"How shall a man judge what to do in such times?" "As he ever has judged," said Aragorn. "Good and ill have not changed since yesteryear; nor are they one thing among Elves and Dwarves and another among Men. It is a mans part to discern them as much in the Golden Wood as in his own house."—JRR Tolkien A prescient excerpt from Eeomer talking to Aragorn. We know what to do. We must have the courage to do so.

They allow these heathens to destroy all individual culture, freedom of thought, expression, and history in the hopes that after a few decades the world will be a pit of rotten equity as it collapses from its heights to an abyss. The people destroying the civilization around you must be met with the same destructive force they have no problem visiting on you. The Katabasis of the West is in full force—find the interior strength to force its Anabasis.
