My article about the Rocky Mountain Martian hoax of 1864-5. A real hoot! www.historycolorado.org/story/2025/0...

One of these things is not like the others.

It looks like a good way to help Ukraine would be to encourage Trump to let Musk sell Russia rockets.

The price of eggs is really getting ridiculous. In fact, yesterday I saw a bunch of chickens driving around in a totally tricked out, 2025 Hummer. Motherfuckers.

I was the Fulbright scholar to Nepal in 2016-2017. It resulted in over two years of ethnographic fieldwork, six peer-reviewed articles, and two books about Shaligrams! The sacred fossil ammonites of the Himalayas. shop.the3littlesisters.com/products/out...

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

We've reached a point where I am entirely convinced that the obsequious little shitasses that constitute the Republican senate would happily vote in the affirmative if Donald Trump were to nominate Godzilla to be his special envoy to Tokyo.

Shameless self-promotion.

My article in The Colorado Magazine, Not All It's Cracked Up to Be: Ogham, Equinoxes, and Wandering Celts in Colorado, appears in the Fall/Winter 2024 issue of the magazine. You can read a digital version here: www.historycolorado.org/story/2024/0...

Here in a newly minted year I remember the lyrics to the chorus of Paranoid Larry’s song Jesus Shaves: Blessed are thе ones who make peace Blessed are the ones who scrape by Blessed are the ones living holy lives And here’s to the rest of us who try. youtu.be/c_ZHhe0rBbk?...

Wukoki Pueblo in Wupatki National Monument.

Dodger. Mostly fluff.

Spirals in rock and sand. Molly (7) and Ellie (5) created the spirals on the right, inspired by the petroglyph.

Okay. Now I have a book cover and a title: Windows to the Past. Now all I have to do is write the book.

That moment of pride when your 5-yr-old calls you on your bullshit.

Montezuma Castle National Monument never disappoints. The 900-year-old cliff dwelling was designated a national monument by President Teddy Roosevelt in 1906.

If you see a drone, don’t be scared. Just look up at it and in a firm voice say “Klaatu barada nikto.” You’ll be fine.

Bed head.

So, it turns out that Kash Patel, Trump's pick for FBI director, keeps an enemies list. Which is funny because, if you're a high school student in Connecticut and the admin learns that you keep an enemies list, oh boy howdy, you're in deep shit.

Not a “flying squirrel.” A squirrel flying.

Our house has this cool and very useful feature. I call them "staggered shelves." Great for storing all kinds of stuff. You may know them by their more common name. Stairs.

Pic of my great-grandparents in front of their bakery in Brooklyn, NY. Signs in the window welcome back soldiers at the end of WWI. So, 1918.

Ellie (5) looked outside this morning and said: “O-M-God!”

Yeah, I love our bird-feeder cam, but as of late I’m getting closeups of more cloacas than I’m comfortable with.

Omg! Socrates is following me here now! Fingers crossed Aristotle is next. As for Plato, well, he’s welcome too, but he’s got some explaining to do about the whole Atlantis thing.

New feature from me in honor of the 50th anniversary of Lucy’s discovery. 🏺🧪 www.livescience.com/archaeology/...

And a supplementary piece I wrote on some of the cool discoveries in the middle Pliocene. There were many more hominins in Lucy's time than just A. afarensis! 🏺🧪 www.livescience.com/archaeology/...

Hey ya'll. Here's a youtube link to my free ten-part lecture series in archaeology. Big thanks to Dr. Holly Norton Director, Office of Archaeology & Historic Preservation in Colorado for funding it! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

FYI. The 11th edition of Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience in Archaeology is coming (2025). Big shout out to Beckie Burr for the amazing cover photo. She is a fantastic photographer (see her work on her Insta page beckieburr).

Getting down to business this morning, looked up, and saw this. Big, if true. (btw; I love my wife, lol)

If Trump’s Department of Education is looking for a theme song, they need look no further than Pink Floyd: We don’t need no education, We don’t need no thought control

I live for those regretfully few, blessed moments, when someone asks me: "Kenny, can I ask you a question?" So I can respond: "You just did." (Stolen from Dead Like Me.")

Jimmy is in the house!

Yeah sure you’ll get some sweet pseudoarchaeology snark in this space, but how about starting with this amazing, 2,850-yr-old soapstone quarry we excavated in northwest Connecticut?

For anyone who wants the same bullshit content (archaeology, Molly and Ellie’s antics, jokes that might have you reconsidering your opposition to capital punishment) I shared on the other place, gimme a follow and I’ll follow you back.

Okay. I’m here. No idea what the fuck to do next. Wait. Can you say “fuck” on Bluesky? If I can’t say “fuck” I’m gone. That would limit me a fuck ton.
