My kid is a published author! Check out their (Trace Wolff) story, 100 Planes, under fiction at this link. It's a beautiful story. So proud of them! www.gandydancer.org

Any other archaeologists going to the SAAs going to put a "this presentation made by hand using no AI" statement in their talk or poster? I think I will. 🏺

I prefer my intelligence to be human-sourced and organic. :)

We teach our students not to use people’s work without citing them (plagiarism) yet we increasingly allow AI to do just that. In fact, many teachers and professors have encouraged its use. G-AI is mimicry and plagiarism with enough distance from creators to provide its users plausible deniability.

Real men cry during almost every episode of Shrinking.

My office door at work.

Everyone should read NK Jemisin’s “Emergency Skin” to know how I feel about how we’d be if everyone in the files were prosecuted.

I think I'll root for the team that isn't owned by someone who hangs out with convicted sex offenders and bigots (at least that I know of). Go Seahawks!

Just a drop of sunshine

I have been lucky enough to travel to Greenland a few times. It is a beautiful land with beautiful people. They don't deserve this kind of worry and fear. Just leave them alone and let the Kalaallit rule themselves and their traditional lands.

Good discounts on our book today for the archaeologically minded of you out there. Find it here 🏺: #archaeology www.berghahnbooks.com/title/Bebber...

An icy eye looking through the darkness on New Year's Day.

Putting a burn on 2025

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains.

The whole movie One Battle After Another was great, but the way they filmed the car chase was cinematic genius.

They have it rough.

This is probably my favorite Xmas song. youtu.be/XeTpvQMVt8E?...

Taught my last class of the semester yesterday, nothing but the grading left. It was a mixed bag, with some M & Ms and a few raisins.

Let’s see what’s going on in the world. @badhandbooks.bsky.social

Got to see my favorite movie, The Warriors (1979), on the big screen last night. I was too young when it came out in theaters originally, so it was a great to finally see it in that venue. Still think the Baseball Furies should've been better with their bats than they were.

Agency scientists speak out about the irreplaceable facilities, institutional knowledge and training opportunities that the USA is losing go.nature.com/3WB8bFS

Checking out @gradyhendrix.bsky.social show tonight in Schenectady! Perfect Halloween Eve activity. Can't wait!

Good book mail from @talkscaredpod.bsky.social Smoky and I are looking forward to this one.

This is the only kind of Warrior ethos I support.

No more Disney, Hulu, Paramount in this house. Who's next?

Excited to open the lid of this one by @keithrosson.bsky.social

The only supremacy I believe in.

Slow news day I know but ICYMI here’s my piece for @newrepublic.com about how 50 years ago Ernest Becker sketched out a surprisingly durable diagnosis for many aspects of our current nightmare

I ate this dangerous weapon today. I’m a goddamned hero.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr announced last week that the US federal government is terminating US$500 million worth of grants for mRNA vaccine research. We must never, ever, forget that millions are alive today, or in better health, because of this life-saving technology. go.nature.com/4msX3WL

When I see all of these guys with big beards basically cosplaying what it is to be a man, I always think of that scene from Life of Brian where they guy is selling beards to women so they can take part in the stoning.

The new Fishbone album is amazing. My favorite since Truth and Soul, although they always bring it.

Weird and kind of creepy find at the site yesterday.

Seated for Bring Her Back. Not gonna lie, I’m kind of scared.

This is utter nonsense.

Classes are over. Now nothing but the grading, crying, and drinking is left.

The only things I think that have made the U.S. exceptional is our scientific accomplishments and our arts, yet those who profess to believe in American exceptionalism are doing their best to destroy our capabilities in those areas. It's like they don't really care about what really makes us great.

Friends, I have been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. Additional details are in the GoFundMe campaign. More importantly, Thank You ALL for the encouragement and inspiration your lives provide! Your friend, Ezra gofund.me/5f0cea8e

Just got this beautiful book by @joeabercrombie.com today from Lit Escalates. Amazing art and swag. Can’t wait to meet the Devils.

Was surprised to see @sgj.bsky.social at Meow Wolf in this interesting exhibit.

Heading to Denver for the Society for American Archaeology's Annual Meeting. Looking forward to seeing friends and colleagues and exploring Denver a bit. It's been a long time since I've been there.

There goes NSF too. They keep ruining everything that makes the U.S. decent and our potential to become better.
