LIAM OUT LOUD: So learn to be thankful for enemies rather than perplexed or angered by them.

If you find yourself feeling annoyed, angry, or impatient with the world or the people in it, I have some advice worth taking seriously.  Negative emotions are almost always the result of reality failing to meet our expectations.  You have no control over the world or the people in it. Most people barely have control over themselves.  That leaves only one variable that you can govern reasonably: your expectations.  

Marcus Aurelius understood this well.  He advised beginning each morning by reminding yourself that you'll encounter the busybody, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, and unsocial.  Once you accept this frame, once you accept that undesirable people exist and always will, you stop feeling shocked or personally wronged when you encounter them.  Go a step further, and admit that parts of you are undesirable as well and the reaction softens more.  You're no longer offended.  You are simply meeting expectations.  At that point, irritation gives way to something more useful, gratitude even.  Why wouldn't you want to learn from someone else's mistakes instead of paying the full cost of making them yourself?  With this mindset, angry, bitter, resentful, lazy, and ignorant people you encounter are no longer obstacles that you failed to avoid.  They become walking lessons.  The wise man encounters a fool and improves himself.  The fool encounters a fool and acts foolishly.  There may even be something shameful in allowing such people to unsettle us.  As Epictetus put it, if someone were to hand your body over to a stranger, you would be outraged; yet you think nothing of handing over your mind to anyone who provokes you allowing it to be disturbed and confused. So learn to be thankful for enemies rather than perplexed or angered by them.  Used properly, they become fuel for self-improvement.  Used poorly, they drag you down into the same resentment that consumes them. 

LE BUNKER: At 33, your gynecologist tells you your ovarian reserve is "declining." You ask if it's serious: she smiles back like a funeral home receptionist.

@linuxhippie It's among the many threaded eugenics initiatives intertwined with Marxist feminism, along with all other (Marxist) intersectional lines of attack.

You're called Camille, you're 22 years old, and you're a free and strong woman. 

You read Simone de Beauvoir in high school, watched Sex and the City on your divorced mom's couch, and the sociology teacher with a Mireille Mathieu haircut explained to you that motherhood was a trap set by the patriarchy. 

To you, marriage is a medieval institution invented by frustrated Catholics to chain women to a sink. (Kouisine) 

You spent your twenties "living your best life": Aperol on the terrace with a cigarette dangling from your lips, a butterfly tattoo on your forearm and an infinity symbol on your ankle. 

Tinder, weekend in Lisbon, different guys every week because above all, you mustn't get attached. 

To you, the church is bullshit. You've got your head screwed on straight: you head off to Peru for an ayahuasca ceremony with a shaman who’s actually named Kevin and sells sophrology courses on Podia for €297. 

You came back with a wooden bead bracelet and the certainty that true spirituality is the vibrations of amethyst stones on your chakras in a yoga studio in Oberkampf. 

At 29, you're promoted to "Senior Account Manager" in digital marketing. You celebrate with your girlfriends: you treat yourselves to a silent Buddhist retreat in Bali, but really you spend four days taking Instagram photos in front of temples with the caption "inner peace" by day and getting introspected inside-out by Dylan and his buddies after a few Jack Fire apple shots at night. 

At 31, you're invited to your cousin Marine's wedding in a church. Marine, who didn't go to college, who got married "too young" to a "basic" guy and to whom you used to say "enjoy life before you lock yourself away." 

She’s glowing, her husband looks at her like she invented oxygen. 

During the ceremony, you catch yourself bawling, but you blame it on your last micro-dosing. You're at the back in an H&M dress with a Hinge guy who's scrolling TikTok during the father's speech. 

At 33, your gynecologist tells you your ovarian reserve is "declining." You ask if it's serious: she smiles back like a funeral home receptionist. 

On the way home, you place your moonstone on your belly hoping the vibrations will kickstart the engine. It doesn't work. 

You freeze your eggs at 35. You tell yourself you've hacked the system and science gives you another solid ten years to hit the bar circuit and get laid on a whim. 

At 37, you're on Bumble. Guys your age are matching with 25-year-olds. 

You've lowered your standards three times, from "1m85 architect who loves to travel" to "emotionally stable and no fish-holding photos." 

Weekends, you burn palo santo in your 30m² apartment while eating ramen with Marcel, a ginger cat adopted from the SPA "temporarily." Marcel's on his third cat tree, and you're on your third glass of white. 

At 39, you open Instagram. Marine's posting pics of her third kid. 

Your ex married a 24-year-old Colombian who makes him cornmeal empanadas and calls him papi. 

Your girlfriend's doing IVF solo because "I don't need a man to be a mom." 

The same magazines that headlined "30 is the new 20" now scream "Freezing your eggs: the feminist choice." 

The shaman Kevin's now selling "fertility ceremonies" for €1500. 

No one told you freedom has an expiration date. 

No one told you biology isn't up for negotiation. 

No one told you Sex and the City was fiction and that Sarah Jessica Parker had her last kid via surrogate. 

But you don't give a damn—at 40, with the wilted butterfly tattoo, you've just signed up for the Green Party. 

Having kids in 2026 is irresponsible: it ramps up CO2 and kills penguins by boiling the oceans.

ARCHEOHISTORIES: Between 1880-1930, Brazil encouraged the arrival of more than 4 million European immigrants, mainly Italians, Portuguese, Germans, and Spaniards, to work on plantations and in cities.

Slavery in Brazil officially ended on May 13, 1888, when the "Golden Law" was signed, abolishing slavery in all its forms. Brazil was the last country in the Americas to abolish slavery. --Wikipedia

After slavery ended, Brazil launched a campaign called blanqueamiento, meaning to "whiten" the country. Between 1880-1930, over 4 million Europeans were brought in and interracial marriage was encouraged to reduce Black and Indigenous ancestry over time.

After slavery ended, Brazil launched a campaign called blanqueamiento, meaning to "whiten" the country. Between 1880-1930, over 4 million Europeans were brought in and interracial marriage was encouraged to reduce Black and Indigenous ancestry over time.

After slavery was abolished in Brazil in 1888, the country’s leaders feared the newly freed Black majority and sought to reshape the nation’s population. They promoted “blanqueamiento” (whitening), a state policy rooted in racist ideology that aimed to reduce the presence of Black and Indigenous people through immigration and mixing with Europeans. Between 1880-1930, Brazil encouraged the arrival of more than 4 million European immigrants, mainly Italians, Portuguese, Germans, and Spaniards, to work on plantations and in cities. The government believed that interracial marriage would gradually “dilute” African and Indigenous ancestry, producing a whiter population over generations. This policy was even supported by intellectuals of the time, who framed it as a path to “progress” and “modernization.”

Shield of the Americas,

On March 7, 2026, President Trump signed a proclamation launching the Shield of the Americas initiative, establishing the Americas Counter-Cartel Coalition. The signing took place at the Shield of the Americas summit at Trump National Doral Miami. The proclamation commits participating nations to coordinate military and law enforcement efforts to combat transnational criminal organizations, particularly drug cartels. Attendees included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Special Envoy Kristi Noem, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

This was an interesting take on Kristi Noem's new role.

Do people still think Trump fired Kristi Noem?

It’s actually the opposite.

Do you think the head of the newly created “Shield of the Americas,” is an inconsequential position?

Why would the head of DHS, who has been coordinating the deportation of tons of illegals, who…
