Against the Grain A Deep History of the Earliest States

When I first saw the headline that Mark Meadows was too stupid to realize he was revealing something incredibly damning in his book and that Trump had had a positive test days before the debate...

Mark Meadows says that Trump was sick when he got that first test result.

And then Mark Meadows almost as a joke is like his bronze hue had returned before the debate. Did you think I was in a fucking can that you don't that doesn't cure covid, you fucking assholes.

You just put it in his book and then he called his own book fake news during an interview.

I think that Scott explores it in a very interesting way in Chapter two of Against the Green.

So as he says, enter the domus.

Just as we transformed our landscapes, we transformed ourselves.

The domus was a unique and unprecedented concentration of tilled fields, seed and green stores, people and domesticated animals and hangers on like mice and rats and corvids, all co-evolving with consequences no one could have possibly foreseen.

The spectrum of subsistence modes that we have utilized, whether it be hunting, foraging, pastoralism or farming, have existed and complement each other in a sort of harmony for millennia.
