Donald Trump’s angry threat to impose 25 percent tariffs on all U.S. imports from Mexico—delivered Monday via the cautious diplomatic language of a Truth Social rant—is widely being depicted as a bluff. From @gregsargent.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/1888...

In case you were not there in early days of Twitter… DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO BLOCK LISTS. It sounds like a great shortcut, but malicious actors come in and create lists that include folks from our side. This was a huge problem in 2017 on Twitter. Just block trolls as they hit your feed.

Let's make a more diverse osint starter pack - a 50/50 m/f split and a move away from westerners would be great. I've made a start (and yes, it's currently lots of men/westerners - help me shift the balance!) Can the community help me crowd source this? go.bsky.app/36JpUBi

Three years ago, a man on Texas death row asked a prison spokesman if I could be the reporter to witness his execution The man was John Ramirez. I'd never met or written him before – but that request eventually led to several stories and a 3-year film project that is finally out this week. Thread:

I don’t normally discuss menswear (as I can barely, properly dress myself), but I do have a few thoughts on this…1/x 🧵

An #Archaeology flamingo thread in 16 skeets One day, I saw this Egyptian pot 🏺 from 5000+ years ago (now @metmuseum.bsky.social ). Maybe it represents the famous Dance of the Flamingos? Wanting to see if that hunch was true, I dug in. The research-hole didn’t take me where I thought it would… /1

NEW: 3 more LA sheriff's deputies have been relieved of duty over this WILD investigation into a crypto mogul who allegedly hired cops to do crimes for him Even wilder: He allegedly spent his ill-gotten gains on leg-lengthening surgery that he now needs reversed www.latimes.com/california/s...

So... Hegseth _lied_ about which tattoo was as issue. He said it was his big Jerusalem cross, and painted the reaction to that as bigotry. Instead, it was his "Deus Vult" bicep tat -- meaning "God Wills It" -- the battle cry that the crusaders used to slaughter Muslims; adopted by white nationalists

A wooden memento mori spectacle case decorated with a skull, hourglass and a book (possibly a Bible inscribed with the message ‘Menento Mori 1690’ From Nordiska Museet, Stockholm.

If anyone has or sees a copy of ‘Klaus Schmidt: Göbekli Tepe a Stone Age sanctuary in South-Eastern Anatolia’ for sale in English, please let me know! Thanks.

But how did they do it? How could these Neolithic hunters quarry those huge limestone T-pillars we now breathlessly admire at #TasTepeler sites like #GöbekliTepe, #Karahantepe and others? 😲🤔 How? - Well, they made clever use of the local geology. And Matt's video here shows this pretty good. 🏺👍

Hi friends! I just wanted to give a quick update on The Onion’s purchase of InfoWars, which we can’t wait to relaunch as the dumbest website on the internet. The long and short of it: We won the auction and — you're not going to believe this — the previous InfoWars folks aren't taking it well.

And, as I’ve not had time to go through my completely exploded followers list, if you’re a historian of Ancient Greece (Bronze Age - Roman Period, as long as its firmly Greek) - say hi and I’ll add you to this starter pack:

New from me: As Alex Jones continues trying to halt the sale of Infowars to The Onion, lawyers for X have made an appearance in the case, appearing at an emergency hearing and asking to be included on future communications. The company hasn't explained why. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Here’s an early version of a starter pack of scholars and authors writing abt the threat of white Christian nationalism. Will keep updating. go.bsky.app/S55uNCF
