Incredible that the shooter can be described as anti-fascist. He was anti THAT fascist for not being fascist enough.

“without food, we would’ve gone bankrupt by now” 100% human writing, great work LLM

Also - come and get my job! Which I’m still partially doing, but someone needs to take up the slack/ allow me to send them to far flung locations to retrieve mysterious ancient samples. See the World*! *mainly Britain. crick.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

Another day, another article in the press on metal-detecting that makes zero mention of the PAS or the Treasure Act. Seriously, why are we bothering? #ancientbluesky

Who called it “becoming more conservative as you age” and not alt-rightzheimers

WE NEED TO SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE BOTH SIDES HERE

Urgh how is my 3 day weekend nearly over already?!

Photoshopping John Oliver onto fossils until the Paleontological Research Institution secures their funding! Modern specimen of the crab Calappa flammea from the Florida Keys (PRI 42120). Comedian is H. sapiens. Not to scale.

Who else here was privileged enough to have studied archaeology with a scholarship? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Let’s pay it forward to these 12 future archaeologists who have never more than now needed the support (financial and moral) so much? ❤️ gogetfunding.com/help-gazan-s...

How long until they start proposing The Purge

There are currently over 500 signatories to an open letter asking the heads of British archaeological bodies such as the CBA, FAME, UAUK & CIfA, to intervene with the GOVUK and EHRC over the rights of trans archaeologists & the wider trans community. The letter remains open until tomorrow, 7 May

Three skulls from Japan that were given to Edinburgh Univ in 1913 have been returned to the indigenous community where they originated. The remains of the Ainu people - donated by Scottish anthropologist Dr Neil Gordon Munro - were held in the univ's anatomy museum. www.bbc.com/news/article...

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

When will Starmer learn that no matter how good his Nigel Farage impression gets, it won't save him from wipeout at the hands of Reform? Here's another idea - how about doing the work that's needed to actually make people's lives better? 🧵

I really hope they get a ton of community service planting trees

I have very much enjoyed New Pope Day

IT’S FUN TO STAY AT THE

Are you a qualified scientist or medical expert? Please sign* this letter in support of trans & non-binary people. It is clear that sex is not a binary. As any qualified professional is aware, sex is a continuum or spectrum. We must stand up to dangerous pseudoscience. Biology Is Not Binary

TW: DO NOT LOOK AT THE SCARY PICTURE IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 OR OF A NERVOUS DISPOSITION Repping #LookAroundYou at work today #ScaryPicture

I, and several others, have written an open letter to the UK's largest archaeological organisations requesting they take a stand and publicly affirm their support for the trans community. This open letter was signed by over 700 archaeologists before it was sent today. Read it in full below 👇

UPDATE: The Salt Lake City Council has now adopted the new flags that appear to circumvent a new state law banning "non-sanctioned" flags: www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol #Utah #LGBTQ

Labour are backtracking on a plan to help save birds: by blocking a new rule that would make developers put a £35 nest brick in every new home. They think it'll help win them votes - we need to show it would do the opposite. Please consider signing the petition 😊

Yup, that’s right. Chase Reform. Legitimise them. Punch down. Brag about cruelty. Abandon values. Lose elections to Reform. Rinse. Repeat. 🙄

The average American has 3 eggs, but has demand for 15. So here are 12 photographs of eggs. I am a business man.

Spent this entire weekend at Culture Shock festival in #Sheffield, the first ever edition and organised by Rob Nevitt (director of @celluloidscreams.bsky.social). There's been some great classics such as Psychomania and Terror of Mechagodzilla. Also a bunch of excellent new films from around the 🌍 🧵

There were 4 council by-elections yesterday. Reform UK won 0. That makes 240 council by-elections since the General Election, with just 14 seats won by Reform UK. So yeah, the country’s pretty much ignoring him - no matter how hard you lot in the media try to hype him up, journo cvnts. #ukpolitics

Scientists must push back against the threat of rising white nationalism and the dangerous and pseudoscientific ideas of eugenics https://go.nature.com/4jGqiUc

It sounds insane, but if you go somewhere that has facilities that work for you, email the venue and say: "Love the loos, thanks for supporting my needs ✌🏻" It allows us to say: "Well, we've had three complaints but twelve compliments on the facilities" and enables us to keep moving forward.

Lions (and Tigers and Bears) Oh My! Congratulations to Malin and team on this fantastic piece of osteological research (Links have images of human remains). dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour... The report on the Driffield Terrace burials via York Osteology: yorkosteoarchaeology.co.uk/Driffield-Te...

The osteologists are not baffled about this one! Congrats to Malin and team at York Osteoarchaeology and Tim Thompson et al for finding absolutely mind blowing evidence suggesting this man was killed by a lion in #Roman #York #archaeology #osteology www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.bbc....
