Musée départemental Arles antique - The archeological museum of Arles hosts a range of prehistoric but mainly Roman finds, including a spectacular collection of early Christian Sarcophagi that were found in Les Alycamps! Small thread 🧵 (For the Sarcophagi, see post 6-11)

Rhône 3 - a monumental Roman ship found with stone cargo in 2011, put in a special room in the museum in 2018.

The remains of the Amphitheatre of Arelate have been found outside the museum, which led to the reconstruction of the circus as a modern garden. The wooden pillars found on the site are dated to 150 AD (Dendrochronologically).

Vattel’s Law of Nations was groundbreaking: describing the "law of nations" as a series of treaties or customs—a set of principles derived from the universal unchanging "Law of Nature." A nation, being a collection of human beings, is subject to the same moral laws as individuals

🧵1/4 🇧🇪🇷🇺🇪🇺 - Belgium wishes for the EU to sit down at the table with Russia to discuss peace in Ukraine. This is reported by De Morgen based on statements by Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot (Les Engagés) earlier this week at a European summit.

NEW: Stanford is awarding five times as much money to a campus drag troupe as to an undergraduate veterans association. And it's awarding more money to the Muslim Student Union—$175,000—than every Christian student group combined.

We obtained the school's activities budget.🧵

The awards include a $50,000 grant to the Stanford Drag Troupe, which last year sponsored a performance by two drag queens, "Slut the Rock Johnson" and "ZZ Chic," as part of a "sex trivia" event titled, "Are You Smarter Than A Sexpert?"

That grant dwarfs the $10,000 earmarked for the Stanford Undergraduate Association of Veterans, the $14,472 earmarked for Stanford’s sole ballet group, the $27,104 earmarked for the Stanford Light Opera Company, and the $27,154 earmarked for the Stanford Symphony Orchestra.

I'll alleviate some of the crypticness though. None of this spooky stuff is stuff you haven't heard before. What gets spooky is I have the *actual linkages* underlying this narrative.

Essentially, a private investigator, before *refusing* to dig any further, presented evidence of a multi-national (you can guess the ones) NGO/agency push to create credible evidence of a "White Nationalist" threat in the United States in order to launch Joe Biden's presidential bid.

See, the reason Biden's backers wanted him back in the ring is because they were balls deep in Ukrainian energy investments, and wanted to make sure the United States would enter any Russian/Ukrainian conflagration to protect their investments.

This of course does not play well with the 300k or so voters in Milwaukee and Western Pennsylvania who decide national elections, so the looming spectre of "White Nationalism" was the ticket.

The idea was to create a much larger violent incident, but at least two of the interlacing layers of the plan red-lighted on the day of the event, and they were only able to produce one (dubious) murder.

This of course, was enough, and Biden announced the next day. But if you have ever wondered why the UTR coverage seemed too wall-to-wall with respect to what actually happened, it is because the media apparatus was spun up with the understanding that a *much larger story* was going to be underpinning the hysteria.

The SPLC enters this equation as a broker more than anything else-- as they were (we now know for certain) one of the only institutional actors with established channels for laundering NGO money into pay-for-play schemes with existing extremist groups.

To be clear, I am not suicidal, and if i disappear inside a reasonable envelope after making this post, please make sure Snake & Jakes Christmas Lounge gets all the proceeds from my poetical endeavours & tell my mom I actually do love her.

🚨Green roofs + enhanced rock weathering (#ERW) could turn cities into carbon sinks.

A new assessment finds Europe’s rooftops could remove tens of millions of tonnes of CO₂ by 2060, with global potential reaching hundreds of MtCO₂/yr under ideal conditions.

Details🧵1/12

2/ The work is a conceptual, literature-based assessment combined with geochemical scaling.

It estimates CO₂ removal using theoretical maximum reactivity (100% mineral conversion) and extrapolates across urban roof availability in Europe and globally.

3/ Roof availability is a key input:

The study uses estimates that roofs cover ~30–32% of urban land area, and up to ~50% of impervious surfaces in dense cities, highlighting a large, currently underused surface for carbon removal deployment.

This isn’t a price spike anymore. It’s shortages

Most analysts are still talking about prices

That’s already outdated

We are entering a much more dangerous phase

Ten days ago, I warned this was coming.

Now it’s visible:
– Jet fuel shortages in Europe
– Plastics disruptions in South Korea
– Early supply gaps across Asia

This is not isolated-- It’s the start of a global shift

Here’s the key mistake:

People think this is about higher prices

It’s not

This is the moment every blockade reaches—

When price stops mattering…

and access becomes the constraint

The meme is about Islamism, the video is from an Arab Leftist - but it fits perfectly.

This video is not about pain or suffering.

It's about civilizational "dignity," which, unfortunately, in the Arab world mostly still means the same as it did in the colonial 19th century.

https://twitter.com/MartinSonneborn/status/2045923803155370347

A core thesis of the European 19th century was that the world's "civilizations" are in a competition for superiority, and Europe is the "winner" in this race.

All important Arab ideologies since then -Arab Nationalism, Islamism, Leftism- run on the wish to "prove the opposite".

Whether it's the wish to be superior in spiritual depth, in cultural health, or in revolutionary energy - always it's about the "passing of the torch" from Europe to oneself.

This ideology offers neither criticism nor solution to either Arab problems or Western crimes.

@solastudent @SeaHOGwks I ground this in the nature of God Himself. Because God is infinite in dignity, an offense against Him carries, in a certain sense, an infinite gravity, and thus incurs a debt that exceeds any merely finite measure.+

@solastudent @SeaHOGwks When Scripture speaks of sin resulting in “death,” this should be understood in a twofold way. Death, by its nature, signifies separation. Thus, the “death” brought about by sin is not merely physical death, but separation from God. This is why Scripture can say that we were +

@solastudent @SeaHOGwks “dead in trespasses and sins” and yet still living bodily, because it speaks of a spiritual separation rather than literal bodily death.
At the same time, Scripture does not present the consequences of sin as mere cessation, but as enduring separation: “the smoke of their torment

3) Again, not an endorsement, just an exploration: financial crimes are the easiest to prove because of the paper trails. SPLC and ActBlue are probably toast. We're talking about $800m in the hands of the Spooge-infestors alone.
