Here’s a comprehensive list of appropriate responses upon hearing that a man murdered worshippers at a synagogue: 1- this is fucked up, fuck that guy, fuck antisemitism, solidarity with the victims 2- see above

At almost 2,000 years old, this child’s wooden toy sword is a remarkable survival from Roman times! Found in the living quarters of the cavalry barracks at Vindolanda fort in 2017. Dated c.120 AD. Chesterholm Museum 📷 by me #RomanFortThursday #Archaeology

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday Kindness is always beautiful.

JD Vance appropriating the term "blood libel" to describe legitimate criticism of ICE agents is one of the most antisemitic things I have heard in US politics in the past few weeks. Yet this administration has somehow managed to convince a lot of people it actually cares about fighting antisemitism.

Goodemorning Gonzobongos! Mete my frend tha sunbeam. I hav knowen them sense i waz a babby.

I wasn't aware of the severity of climate change threat to SO MANY historic sites. It breaks my heart. Mitigating the survival crises climate change already inflicts has to be centered in deciding how to spend resources, but still. History feeds the mind and soul. It's more than a 'nice-to-have'.

Walsh isn't holding back his condemnation of his former party. This falls on the Republicans if a shutdown happens.

I do not dignify squirrels by addressing them directly, but yes, verbally greeting corvids and catkind upon encounter is proper behavior.

In the tech support world we used to have an acronym, PEBCAK, that means 'problem exists between keyboard and chair.' A huge amount of of anti-AI stuff is PEBCAK. Not all - it isn't a mature technology by any means - but most.

Roman horse terracotta figurine found in Rottweil, dating 2nd or 3rd century AD. Horse figurines served as offerings in sanctuaries or domestic shrines and occasionally as grave goods. Their use and meaning shift depending on context but reflect associations ... 🧵1/2 📷 me 🏺 #archaeology

Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday Try and let go of the worrying, the second guessing, and the doubt. Trust that life has a way of unfolding, not always as you imagined, but often exactly as it’s meant to.

How awesome would it be if there's a 2nd Scottish independence vote, they leave the UK, then start a repatriation program including 4th generation descendants? (I've been hoping for this for almost 3 decades. . . but yeah, current US politics raises the stakes as the prospect comes up again.) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🗳️🤞🏼

I am starting to think a very smart and productive thing to do would be to nominate this guy for president, so I assume it’ll be Newsom.

It's the first day of fall, and Trump is celebrating by taxing YOUR morning cup of coffee by an average of almost 15%. Leaves might be falling, but thanks to this reckless trade war, coffee prices are rising. It's time Republicans join Democrats to END these idiotic tariffs.

It seems many bad people convincingly camouflaged themselves when being a bad person had negative social consequences. Then the political climate became more toxic and they felt liberated to openly be their true selves. And the toxicity increased. "Normies" were credulous to being misled.

This is psychotic. Cult shit.

It's that simple.

Wow, Homeland Security really *IS* asking for people to stop making ICE patrols' jobs harder by documenting and telling the truth about how ICE patrols are operating. Wouldn't it be more effective to stop the stories by stopping ICE patrols from doing bad things? They've chosen the hard way.
