Does anyone have a pdf of this chapter they could please share with me? Thomas JM Schopf (1972) “Varieties of paleobiologic experience” in book /Models in Paleobiology/. ⚒️ #paleosky #paleobio

Any suggestions for academic journals that might publish articles on pseudoarcheology, especially relating to the Americas? (Asking for friends.) Thank you!

Something I don’t see anyone talking about: Today is election day in #Ohio There has been a rash of bomb threats and active shooter threats across the state in the days leading up to voting The main targets have been zoos & schools Why? By whom? We’ve no answers

If the Democrats let Republicans have this INSANELY easy W, I am going to be apoplectic. This shit polls like chlamydia. Get on the other side of it now and be loud about it.

This headline helped me set a new personal record for diagnosing an "antiquity" as a fake! www.ynetnews.com/environment/...

I always wonder - usually in vain - just how big auction houses determine provenance information. Thanks to the Epstein Files, we can see exactly how a seemingly rock-solid provenance was built on shifting sands for this Hercules. 🧵

Glad to be hosting @artcrimeprof.bsky.social for a guest lecture next week in my Frauds, Follies and Hoaxes class at UMASS Amherst. If you are in Western Mass, the event is open to the Public. Visitor parking is metered or in the Campus Center Garage, and Herter Hall is a short walk

Unbelievable corruption right in front of our faces.

I don't think Kamala Harris would've threatened to commit genocide in Iran on a random Tuesday morning a month after starting an unwinnable war with them for no reason

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

Ok step one is to make them look less delicious

This is outrageous.

There are so many parts of my job that I love but I feel so beaten down by the system that I am genuinely considering just jumping ship. I want to do best for myself, for my research, and (perhaps most importantly?) for my students but I feel like I can’t do that without any stability.

Be clear, we are talking about just a few hundred people, many of whom have gained entry to those well known academic soft touches Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial, who could embody soft power for decades to come, all to please a few racist grifters in politics and the media and voters lost anyway.

We all need a timeline cleanse right now, so let's start the day with this lovely jug with an octopus motif, dating ca 1200-1100 BC. On display at National Museum Copenhagen. A lovely weekend to all of you! 📷 me 🏺 #archaeology

One of these "news outlets" yesterday also released the trailer for a new doc they've produced that features a prolific residential school denialist pushing around her own GPR unit and digging holes 😒. These are not people who have anything but their own self-serving, malicious interests in mind.

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

they've all bought 10,000 shares of baby coffin stock

when you see another poster get in the same kind of reply first you gotta delete, it's called tipping your cap

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.’

Jimmy Cliff, Jamaican reggae singer, actor and cultural icon, dies aged 81

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.
