Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night.

This is a press freedom issue.

Here’s what happened:

I will say this, in the deepest dark of winter I at least get to go home in light as opposed to dark before work and dark after. I get that morning people hate it. But that’s what they get for being morning people.

You wonder why this innovation would spread clear across Asia and then be utterly abandoned as the dispersal continued north and south east. I can’t help seeing a massive interpretive leap here. There seems to be a growing list of small sharp things that are being over interpreted.

Anyone get video of the meteor over Vancouver? Everyone’s talking about the boom.

We came oh so close to having this limerick slinging light weight for a prime minister. Absolute mindless drivel. #canada

North America, Europe, and Israel also share responsibility for generations of instability in the Middle East. We also have seen that warring will not solve instability or improve human rights.

Hire and artist and talk to them. Lots wrong with this but the most evil being the “humans are white and other phenotypes are not” bit. I guess AI just mines this shit out out of our garbage… but still.

I do question the seemingly growing archaeological bias of trying to answer this question by size alone as the deciding design variable. Not knowing the cultural knowledge system for why a bone point was designed makes using a non-cultural metric to interpret it fraught.

Spend a little time learning how monumentally broken our heritage protection frameworks are. Thank you @tessmachling.bsky.social for doing the hard work our sector organisations should be leading on. 🏺

This piece is a lot, but it's vital.
And it resonates with Carole's own article underlining foundational role of patriarchy & misogyny:

"A culture which reveres female youth and innocence despises female age and experience. It disgusts them, scares them..."

Literally. When I went to the University clinic suspecting I was in perimenopause, the doctor got angry at me because she decided I must have a mood disorder instead. Turns out I was in perimenopause.

NEW Evidence for 4,500-year-old Paleo-Inuit settlement on the remote Kitsissut Islands, north of Greenland indicates the Arctic's first inhabitants were skilled seafarers who shaped High Arctic ecosystems from the beginning of glacial retreat.

I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

The artwork that illustrated our PNAS paper on the oldest wooden tools was made by Gleiver Prieto, who has also worked with me on illustrations for previous projects, including the paleoenvironmental reconstruction of Marathousa 1.
Gleiver's art really brings Pleistocene Megalopolis to life ✨ 🤩
