Clear view of lightning withing a thunderstorm cell that was building over Clark Dry Lake and Rabbit Peak on 9-18-25. As seen that evening from Coyote Canyon where the coyotes joined in for a howl fest for a while.

Nobody cares about that. You just make us tired. Go away.

Reading through this book now, very interesting history of labor and labor action in the Roman Empire! Go buy it!

I think a very large proportion of english-language legacy media and elite journalism generally does not exist to report on reality so much as to promote a priori narratives.

my predictions (most to least likely): 1) inter-maga groyper (or Epstein truther) 2) terrorgram/O9A 3) rando with incoherent politics 4) rationalist cult of some variety 5) ai psychosis 6) inside job 7) an actual liberal / leftist

US political violence overwhelmingly comes from the right - the side that calls for, glorifies, & literally pardons it

JUST IN: A historic conviction: Brazil's Supreme Court delivers a majority vote to convict former President Jair Bolsonaro over a plot to overthrow the government.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

#Woodensday! Wooden votive offerings in the shape of parts of the human body, from the spring sanctuary near the #Roman settlement at Dambach, Bavaria. Objects like this were given to healing deities. They were intended either to indicate the part of the body that...🧵1/2 📷 me 🏺 #archaeology

The archaeological museum of Taranto was universally recommended by colleagues, and I can only agree. One of Italy's very finest. Among the many treasures it hosts, this silver and gilded box depicting a Nereid riding a sea monster (local, c. 300 BCE) is probably my favourite.

Art review! This time we''ll be looking at 'De boerendans' (the farmer's or peasant's dance) by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, from c. 1567. I love Pieter's art & of course I love art that depicts an era generally still considered to be bland, dark & horrid, as also being a bit fun.

The sun setting on a thunderstorm above the Kofa Mountains just south of Quartzsite, Arizona. As seen this evening from Borrego Springs, approximately 135 miles away (Photo: Sicco Rood).

A roadrunner was sunbathing this afternoon. A rare summer day where it barely got over 90 F due to the thunderstorms earlier today (Photo: Sicco Rood).

I can’t believe I somehow missed this back in 2021! A bronze naval ram was recovered from the Bay of Naples. It’s noticeably smaller than the Egadi examples, likely from a trireme, or perhaps even smaller. Too early to say for certain. Word is that a full publication on the ram is coming soon!

#FrescoFriday - Leicester. Wall-painting from a 2nd century house close to the basilica, depicting fantasy architecture with decorative motifs. Finds like this are exceptional in #Britain but were probably typical of well-to-do town houses in major towns by this date #romanbritain #Archaeology

Now this is a journalist who deserves respect.

Morire sul lavoro in epoca romana: il mosaicista Hermas. Oggi vi parlo del giovane Hermas, un mosaicista (musivarius o musearius) ricordato dal padre Carpus, servo pubblico della colonia, in un monumento funerario attestato in reimpiego a Benevento ma andato disperso.

People walking and biking get shamed for wearing headphones. Meanwhile, drivers sit inside sealed metal cabins with 12-speaker sound systems, fully isolated from the world and no one questions it, even as they operate 2-ton machines through crowded cities.

This is huge aspect of Dutch urban planning that I have trouble expressing here in the US!

An impressive #Roman cavalry helmet with a face mask that was made of iron and plated with silver (Nijmegen-Kops Plateau type). The mask was attached to the iron helmet, which was covered with horse hair showing an elaborate and highly decorative hairstyle. 🧵 1/2 📷 me 🏺 #archaeology

Sounds like a fascinating book! I love how much more interconnected the ancient world was than we tend to imagine! Who knows how far and wide people ranged who never wrote things down - or whose stories never reached historians?

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

Oggi è l'anniversario del rinvenimento dei cosiddetti Bronzi di Riace, avvenuto nel 1972 a Riace Marina (RC). Attualmente le due statue sono esposte, con grandi e necessarie cautele, al Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Reggio Calabria. (📷 febbraio 2025)

I've started a new list! This one is about medieval towns, villages & cities with bathhouses. It's a work in progress but it would be cool if you could all contribute. So if you find any mention of a medieval bathhouse with a source, let me know. fakehistoryhunter.net/2025/08/06/l...

I’ve slowly been writing a TTRPG based on the Battle of Qadesh (Egyptians v Hittites). I’m interested in game-making-as-research-process, so have been recording my questions, led by the requirements of the game. Inspired by @florencesn.bsky.social I’ve been distilling these into mini zines.

Hi!! It's my birthday!! From what I understand I'm allowed to shamelessly ask for attention and validation so here's my art! Follow me if you like cats!

Good piece on Aftermath where two of my interests collide!

This is Colchester as a #Lidar Flyaround. Removing the buildings reveals the #Roman town of Camulodunum in all its glory. The impressive Norman Castle earthwork covers the site of the Temple of Claudius, a major target during the Boudican revolt (60/61AD). #Archaeology

“The studies imply estimated [Gaza] life expectancy has fallen by more than 35 years, to ~ half the pre-war figure. In percentage terms…bigger than…during China’s Great Leap Forward; in absolute terms it is similar to the one in the Rwanda genocide” www.economist.com/interactive/...
