"Though the comics industry has a myriad of problems, as Batman writer Chip Zdarsky said, the primary issues are twofold: 1. Fans don't see any reason to keep reading because continuity gets rebooted at the drop of a hat, invalidating classic stories they love and never progressing characters and 2. DC Comics and the rest of the industry have done everything they can to push the LGBTQ agenda on all of their characters, making it difficult for any readers to want to read gay romance fan fiction of their favorite characters."

"In a new paper published in Nature Astronomy, lead author and astrophysicist Merav Opher—an astronomy professor at Boston University and fellow at Harvard Radcliffe Institute— found evidence that some two million years ago, the solar system encountered an interstellar cloud so dense that it could have interfered with the sun's solar wind. Opher and her co-authors believe this shows that the sun's location in space might shape Earth's history more than previously considered."

Believing Their Own Word-Magic

Morgoth observes that the insane retardery of Clown World has now gone from redefining invaders as refugees and Pakistani rapists as English grooming gangs to a very dangerous redefinition of war as not-war: It is stated quite clearly by a left-leaning, neoliberal outlet that there should be no brakes whatsoever on action taken against Russia […]

🐎📜 The Domestication of Modern Horses: A 4700-Year-Old Journey 📜🐎

Paleogenetic studies have revealed fascinating insights into the domestication of modern horses, tracing their origins back to approximately 4700 years ago. Researchers analyzed the DNA of 475 ancient horses and discovered that the ancestors of all modern domesticated horses were first tamed around 2700 BCE. This pivotal event took place in the Pontic-Caspian steppe.

Key genetic evidence for this domestication comes from extensive regions of homozygosity in horse genomes, indicative of inbreeding and deliberate human selection. Early breeders likely aimed to cultivate horses with desirable traits. By the end of the 3rd millennium BCE, these ancient horse breeders managed to reduce the generational interval significantly, from 7.4 years to 3.5 years, possibly to meet the rising demand for horses.

The widespread distribution of horses beyond the Pontic-Caspian steppe began around 2200 BCE. However, another potential candidate for the noscript of first horse breeders is the Botai culture from the Eneolithic era in northern Kazakhstan. Archaeological evidence from the 4th millennium BCE, including artifacts resembling horse enclosures and possible traces of mare's milk in pottery, suggests early horse management practices.

While new research supports this theory, it also shows no signs of inbreeding among Botai horses. Nonetheless, a reduction in generational intervals in this population suggests that the Botai people might have engaged in horse breeding, albeit not on a large scale.

Stay tuned for more discoveries as we unravel the ancient history of horse domestication! 🌍✨
