- The dam breaks: the New York Times reports on intimidation by BLM 25th September 2020On the 21st September, to my surprise, the New York Times carried this report by Nellie Bowles: “Some Protests Against Police Brutality Take a More Confrontational Approach”. Both the writer of the headline and Ms Bowles herself in the article made some attempt to keep the dam plugged with the euphemistic reference to “a more […]Natalie Solent (Essex)

- RAW LAND 11th November 2019by John GrauerholzI love the lonely landscapes, the empty places, the solitary spaces. I am beguiled by the barren scenery that is not quite desert, yet a geography that is still too unforgiving to be farmland. A soil that is not devoid of vegetation, but an earth where all the plants have already turned brown. […]Mr. Mean-Spirited

- The great panmixia 25th September 2020Human inbreeding has decreased in time through the Holocene: The history of human inbreeding is controversial. The development of sedentary agricultural societies may have had opposite influences on inbreeding levels. On the one hand, agriculture and food surplus may have diminished inbreeding by increasing population sizes and lowering endogamy, i.e. inbreeding due to population isolation. […]Razib Khan
- Neanderthal Y chromosomes are paleo-modern? 24th September 2020I don’t have time to blog in detail today so I’ll point you to Ann Gibbon’s story, How Neanderthals lost their Y chromosome. You can find the link to the paper in there. The big issue here is that both mtDNA and Y chromosomes were replaced due to introgression from a population closer to modern […]Razib Khan
- “Men of character” on the rise, cold numbers fading 23rd September 2020One of the major cultural findings of the past twenty years is that developed Western nations exhibit certain peculiarities that set them out from the human norm.

The bourgeoisie nerds in the libertarian movement (much less the boot-licking 2nd Amendment queers) are often at pains […]Unknown
- Real Talk on Guns 9th March 2018It is a good idea to both own and be proficient with at least one firearm. The most important factor is that you are comfortable shooting it, and that you practice a lot. Do not buy into bullshit like 'stopping power', 'hydrostatic shock' or cults of particular weapons. It is important that your weapon and […]Unknown
- Death Wish's Yankee Homo Critics Can Go Fuck Themselves with a Knife 8th March 2018Death Wish was generally panned by film critics - who are almost all a bunch of weak faggots that are scared of guns.

- Conspiracy Theory Theory 7th September 2020Our ancestors–probably long before they were even human–had to differentiate between living and non-living things. Living things can be eaten (and, importantly, can eat you back); non-living generally taste bad, can’t be eaten, and won’t try to eat you. This is a task of such essential importance that I think it is basically an innate […]evolutiontheorist
