The Biden administration was fully complicit in genocide, and anyone who served in it should be held accountable.

Mamdani is going to implement Sharpie Law. Everyone is responsible for their own sharpies and has to make sure not to put them through the laundry.

This is such a great paper. We make endless small steps ahead in archaeology every week. I remember when I was starting out and the number of colleagues who told me not to waste my time with satellite imagery analysis. Now, it's used by everyone. Tremendous use case here. 🏺
