Wow! 😮🤩 There's a new interactive map of Every Known Road in the Roman Empire!! 🤓 itiner-e.org We might have to have a lie-down.

"어제 선거에서 이긴 후보 중 누구도 성평등이나 성소수자 권리를 말하는 걸 주저하지 않았다. 그런 주제가 젊은 남성들을 소외시킬 거라는 가설을 배격한 것이다. 그리고 그게 옳았다." 한국 만주당도 새겨들어야 할 것

Amarillo is one of the reddest towns in Texas. But I showed up because our campaign is not writing off any community. It was standing room only.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

What’s the opposite of a glow up?

I should head to sleep but I will say that (Lalthough I am very salty about all the propos that passed (even though i expected as much), the school board races across texas are looking incredibly bad for the pro-book-ban side.

Pains me to say it but I think this is true. Some of my colleagues in the media who’ve stayed on X don’t even realize how badly its noxious algorithm is skewing their perception of politics and reality. Also, that place seems designed to make you miserable unless you’re a Nazi. It’s just wretched.

Yes. I’m still sitting on my account, so every now and again I pop in. And every single post they push is designed to make you feel angry or smug.

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

This was such a great watch! Especially lovely to see the emotional side of our work as archaeologists, remembering that behind every object and place are people and stories - and of course presented brilliantly by #SandiToksvig and @rakshadigs.bsky.social #archaeology

Today’s BotD theme is any bird perched on a rock or one with a long beak. Finding a bird on a rock was difficult 🤣 but here’s one on a rock and a fairly long beak! Black-crowned night heron (Auku’u), Honolulu Hawai’i #Birds #BirdOfTheDay #BirdsOfHawaii #Herons

Please, PLEASE, I am begging you as both a parent and someone who is sick of all this THIS, go vote for your school boards. Even if you don't have kids, that's how these reactionary dipshits got their feet in, that's where the book bans and library cuts start.

People blocking you, whether artisinally or via blocklist, are doing you the courtesy of signaling that you will not vibe well with each other and self-selecting out of the pool of people on Bluesky you will potentially have to deal with.

The idea that we are somehow obligated to engage in the PVP-based social media mode out of some kind of moral principle is bullshit.

I’m only $110 away from my goal: supporting a Gazan translator for making an Arabic version of my forthcoming short intro and sourcebook of late ancient Gazan literature! (Thx to a friend donating $100 off-platform) Please consider chipping in a few dollars to reach the goal! spot.fund/klk26smsc

He's right. Here's a guide for voting in today's school board elections in Texas: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

@majorthird.bsky.social shared this with me and it is my solemn duty to put as many eyes on this as possible (Link in next skeet, for whatever headass walled garden reasons the links won't preview when I tried linking directly)

We should not only bring this back but expand it "Don't buy where you can't work and don't work where you can't buy"

A lady at the café I was at was handing out fliers that were just listing her favorite songs that month and I think we should all just start sharing playlists like this

In the hamlets of Java, Indonesia, there are dozens of hoses up to one kilometer long that distribute clean water from reservoirs to residents’ homes. But because water levels are so low, residents are forced to manually suck water from the hoses using their mouths. (Published 2024)

Why are these ethnosupremacists so determined to drag Tolkien into their imperialist shit....

Ew why is the follow farming block not doing its job

TBH I've been sulking about MLB since Yu Darvish left the Rangers lol (may or may not be where my Dodgers hate comes from even though he didn't even stay with em that long lol)

All the thinkpieces about Bluesky don't account for the fact that it's occasionally 100% wall-to-wall baseball on here

Voting in Texas every year is always a PITA because every measure on the ballot is suspiciously worded, like this Mitch Hedberg joke:

seafront-project.com/post/calibra... Largest dataset on Mg/Ca in shells yet (+100 and over a dozen sites)🐚 Again, we found tightly correlated but shell-specific relationships between temperature and Mg/Ca. Lots of potential for future archaeological studies🏺 @leizarchaeology.bsky.social

Is there an existing bsky feed that pulls from only the other feeds you follow and the accounts you follow and maybe some level of accounts followed by accounts you follow? Sort of like the discovery feed except without the network trending stuff?

I know I'm a broken record about history education but what Act could have happened in 1968 to be considered "too far" for many? A Rights Act? A civil rights act?

I know theres not enough history education in the US, but I feel like a Catholic school would at least emphasize how some of the first victims of concentration camps were Catholics? There was a whole section in Dachau called the Priest barracks or something like that...

The key to realistically paint materials is to understand the "Specularity Spectrum" (term made up by me). Once you understand how reflective or not something is, you can roughly deduce how much you need to emphasize form shadows vs reflections (highlights), or whether to combine both.

oh, are MAGAs of European descent getting all high and mighty about human sacrifice again? did you know the ancient Gallic people of France once built racks for the bones of their defeated enemies that look a helluva lot like what the Mexica used to do onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton. No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.
