One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

Whole lot of academics in the quotes read this title about how LLMs are academic misconduct machines and still line up to defend them. Kinda showing where your priorities are. With alt

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

We have been working so hard to rehabilitate the image of Homo Neanderthalensis, and defeat the nasty brutish short man neanderthal stereotype. First this study, and THEN David Spades's tweet. Tough week for evolutionary throwbacks. #NotAllNeanderthals

An intentionally destroyed #BronzeAge #sword found in a burial at Blaubeuren-Asch. Bronze Age weapons deposited in burials were often bent or hacked into pieces before placed into the grave, in this way they 'died' with the owner. Dating 9th century BC. 📷 Landesmuseum Württemberg 🏺

Another SBL/AAR selfie, this time with Markus Vinzent after an awesome panel on the historical Paul. @mgbilby.bsky.social, he gave me a copy of your book.

Ran into James Tabor at SBL/AAR today. Anyone in Boston between today and Monday who wants to meet, DM me or reply below.

Interesting fake sarcophagus in the British museum. How did they learn it was fake? Lots of reasons, not limited to): 1) Heroic nude is Greek -- NOT Etruscan style. 2) Inscription copied from object at Louvre. 3) Lady wearing 19th century undies! 👀 www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o...

I have been WAITING for a journalist to write this story. I specialize in manuscripts produced in England between 1300 and 1500. If this had occurred in the midst of writing my dissertation or first book, it would have exploded my career.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

Very glad to see this new research cites my work! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

Trump: "Nobody knows what magnets are."

Because "religious liberty" does not mean "I have the right to never hear about or see something I don't like." www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Trump administration is making peoples lives worse and an almost fractal away, from the petty to the genocidal. My best hope is to make sure that when something happens to an individual and their life gets worse, whether in tiny or big ways, they correctly blame Republicans for it.

Absolutely sadistic. A Dem Congress should pass a law banning anyone who is currently serving with ICE or CBP from future Fed employment. The Feds should condition all future Fed grants to police depts on blanket refusals to hire ppl who were in ICE/CBP right now.

Writing a paper about Northern Israelite folklore in the Hebrew Bible. My professor would like me to include an explanation of how Northern Israelite traditions ended up in the (Judean) Hebrew Bible in the first place. I don’t know? No one knows really? But look, there they are! It happened!

I will include a few of the more likely speculations. Personally, I’d say the Occam’s Razor answer is: “YHWH worship spread to Judah very early, while N. Israel was still around. When writing it down in 2nd Temple, Judeans had to edit/frame these stories in a more nationalist way.” But who knows?

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown. Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

The ADL and its backers have found common cause with a specific slice of right-wing Christian plutocrats for a variety of reasons … and that’s a different thread … but also it doesn’t matter because the broader movement is pro-Hitler.

Among other failings here: the violent white supremacist movement sweeping through anglophone spaces is increasingly explicit in its pro-Hitler antisemitism. There’s no place for Jews in their world.

This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.

#ReliefWednesday! A Roman marble relief of a warship. Found in the necropolis of Praeneste (Latium), late 1st century BC. The relief presumably belonged to the tomb of a Roman veteran who had served on Octavian’s side at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC. 📷 me 🏺 #archaeology
