Important reminder

This reminds me of the fact that "Ancient Egypt" goes back so many thousands of years, that the most recent "Ancient Egyptians" were already studying (even more) Ancient Egypt.

Not even the most recent ones. It was an Egyptian prince from the 13th century BCE studying and restoring artifacts from the 26th century BCE.

For context, the last Pharaoh, Cleopatra VII, lived in the 1st century BCE. Prince Khaemweset, known as "the first egyptologist", was as ancient to her as the pyramids and tombs he was studying were ancient to him.

I remember having me mind completely blown when I learned that the "New Kingdom" was pre-Bronze Age Collapse.

This has totally be mentioned in another fork of this post, but it reminds me quite a bit of Ennigaldi-Nanna's museum, a museum in Ur, c. 530 BC, which housed mesopotamian artifacts dating back in some cases to the 20th century BC

I love how Zohran Mamdani is wearing a suit everywhere. And if he has anything else he puts it ON TOP of the suit. A basketball jersey. A high-vis vest. All worn over the suit. He’s like the mayor character in a cartoon who’s always dressed as The Mayor. If I didn’t know who he was and he biked past me in NYC I’d be like holy shit was that the mayor

You make soup in a big bowl. You serve it in a smaller bowl. And then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth. But what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still

every day there's a new six million foot data center being fought against in a new place. why the fuck do we need so many. this feels like a pyramid scheme lol. "invest in our data center in order for us to make more software that needs MORE and BIGGER data centers. then you can invest in the software and the bigger data center, and then we can make more software that needs MORE and BIGGERER data centers" like is the earth not the real place to these people. is it the internet and where the digital money is stored? why don't you just live with slow ai meme generators

a not insignificant reason for the trillion dollar valuation of spacex is that they promise to built data centres in space, something which is not even theoretically possible right now, much less practically feasible. but the stock market is still so keen on data centres that they made elon musk a trillionaire for promising data centres in space when they can't put more on earth.

that one post or tweet that was like "stock market is just astrology for men" is probably the most important insight of the 21st century

Stock market literally IS astrology for men.
