The Pax Atlas is lots of fun! Here we see the trade routes for different commodities for the Roman Empire in 117 AD. The link features more empires and an interactive map. The British Empire is interesting to explore on the globe too. Source: buff.ly/2bIeDh7

true and at the same time we are living in an era where so much public discourse prefers puts stance taking, alignment, and appraisal over content. Your stance on an issue or a text takes precedence over what the issue or text actually is. “I didn’t watch the movie but here is my take”

I bought a Logitech keyboard to use on my work computer because I thought it would be the easiest brand to get my IT folks to accept the software download for. I have gone through 3 of them so far. All different models. First 2 were trash, and the GHub software is awful. Used to be good brand.

Rage 🧵: A few years ago, our neighbors complained to the city about the plant growth on a steep slope in our backyard. It’s so steep that lawn care companies told me they won’t mow it. The city didn’t care. They threatened us with thousands of dollars in fines. I ended up writing about it:

The reason I've gone more left in recent years is that I previously accepted that we simply couldn't afford decent cheap housing, heavily subsidised transport, a universal basic income, etc. Then in 20 years in politics I saw what we actually could afford. And it's a lot. It's just never for you.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

To O’Mara, the diet is not just a temporary means of losing weight but a way to eat for good. He has been doing it for 10 years, and credits it with turning his life around. At one point in our conversation he pulled up the Bristol Stool Chart, which ranges from Type 1 (“separate, hard pellets”) to Type 7 (“watery, no solid pieces”). O’Mara is consistently delivering Type 4 (“smooth, soft, like a snake”), with pointed ends, indicative of healthy rectal function, he told me. “When you start eating healthy, you don’t need toilet paper,” he claimed. “Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus.” He described a proper bowel movement to me this way: odorless, wipe-free, over in three to seven seconds and “nearly orgasmic.”

“I could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room,” he said, “and nobody would know.”

Anyway, it's never too late to do what you want with your life. You can spend years on an entirely different path, become convinced you've ruined everything, decide you are the fuck-up rather than simply a person who took a wrong turn, and still begin again. All that fatalistic nonsense is useless.
