Yes, do listen to it! Honoured to be in top 10!! 😁

Thoughts about megalithic structures:

"Bond offers a compelling historical account and a provocative claim: the histories we tell about labor organizing ought to start earlier than the medieval guild system or the industrial revolution." —Classical Journal

Guitarist of the day. I do enjoy a variety of styles and guitarists who play music not in the standard repertoire. After all, how many times can one hear Recuerdos de la Alahambra without thinking Tarrega would wish for something different. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TEZ...

The kits have been developed by a team from the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, in partnership with people who live with Seasonal Affective Disorder during the winter months. We'll post more information next week but you can find out more about the project at: www.gla.ac.uk/news/headlin...

Right here in our own backyard, so to speak. Any one out there willing to take up historical research of these court rolls?

@rephaleystevens.bsky.social Hello ~ A constituent here who lives at Barton Towers. Could we have a clear understanding of what will happen to EBT this November? There are postings about no funds being available for EBT due to the government shutdown, and if true, some of us need to prepare now.

@billreagan16.bsky.social here's your reply...

Waiting. Waiting.

With pleasure😊 Here is a little bit of history about it, unfortunately only in German. But it can be easily translated with Google Lens, for example. The name Weiler comes from the Late Latin = villare, which means ‘small village’. www.weiler-kapelle.de/historie/ Have a great day🖖

Weiler Chapel A small chapel, such as can often be found along the roadside in the Black Forest. Have a stress-free working day☕ #stillife #Nikon #Fotografie 📷 🌿 #naturephotography #photography

There is an old prayer much favoured in Hookland which I offer up today for my friends in America: Protect us from the tyranny of troubled spirits and make them as smoke upon the wind. #NoKings

Thought experiment. Any one game? If evolution occurred in, and stayed in Zero-G, what behaviours would evolve?

Our place on this planet has a much more interesting past than most of us imagine:

Seems like a good day to celebrate 23,000 years of indigenous people and culture in these lands—particularly here in the heartland of the fabulous Hopewell Culture and the birthplace of the extraordinary Shawnee leader Tecumseh.

Travel these days is not so bad:

Indigenous Peoples’ Day

Magic always exists in a cultural context because believers in it are never free from their point in time and space. Yet the cultural context of magic also comes from distant places and periods. We embrace this paradox to explore practices that are simultaneously modern and cave-old. - Dr. M. Benn

The problem

Hemingway always comes to mind when thinking of the Spanish war.

Isn't this just the bees knees! Learned something today.

A lovely article looking at life from a human perspective - Not AI.

I always enjoy John's personal experiences tossed in to make sense of, to struggle with weird ideas.

Delightful music for the new day. According to some souls, movie music cannot be considered classical. Why not? www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y7V...

An excellent write up on this little known site. What a thrill it would be to visit, just to be there amid the spirits of ancestors. A four hour car drive. Hmmm . . .

Good article on the earliest formation of life:

Knights of the Antifa Roundtable. Except the table's not round. They're not knights. And "antifa" is an amorphous concept, an ideology, a worldview, a state of mind, a value, an attitude of resistance for the common good that runs counter to fascism and NOT an organisation.

Why can I never remember how to pronounce Samhain?
