Happy Publication Day to me! 🎉😱🥹🧿 Between Two Rivers: Ancient Mesopotamia and the Birth of History is officially out! It’s a history of the region through objects found in an ancient museum in Princess Ennigaldi-Nanna’s palace, and I hope you all like it 💛 lnk.to/BetweenTwoRi...

If an author were to name an Italian character this it would be a hate crime

‘Free Luigi’ billboard has gone up in lower Manhattan the evening before his next court appearance. Sent in anon.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

it is absolutely insane freak shit to be this concerned with where people shit and piss. i cannot fucking believe this country, man.

@roguemarvel.bsky.social My condolences to team USA ;P

I've been seeing lots of super compelling videos of park rangers and federal lawyers and other federal workers telling their stories. Talking about what they did at their job, how it helped the American people, and why they want to keep doing those jobs. This is the way.

Look I know it's a cliché, but call your fucking reps. They don't get scared unless they hear from an overwhelming number of us all the time. Call them every damn day. Tell them to fight the hell back and protect us from Musk and Trump. It matters and it makes a difference, right now. reps.fyi

In Stephen Baxter's novel "Proxima", there's an alien race that says "Everything is shit and so are we" as a greeting to each other, and honestly I feel that. We should start using it.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

I love it when our nazi crackhead shadow president screams slurs at astronauts when they push back on his insane lies

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

Fuck it. Run Reacher in 2028. FDR numbers

You know the thing when you're on a news site and you scroll and you keep scrolling and the ads just keep getting more and more unhinged? Sometimes they cross over into beautiful surrealist poetry

Wait you're telling me a Nazi is secretly... a different kind of Nazi?

Oof, I reached a late game state in Civ 7 for the first time and it's rough. It's more than just UI -- the bugginess and awkwardness of having to control a whole bunch of units is a deal breaker for me. Here's a short list of things that make me want to just never get to that point again:

I just hurt my own feelings. I went back to my Instacart receipt from April 2024. A dozen eggs cost me $3.99. Yesterday, they cost $11.99.

It feels so fucking strange to continue posting normal stuff--game dev stuff, shitposts, little jokes--at a time like this but I dunno man. I feel hopeless and overwhelmed and it helps a little. What's being done to this country and trans people in it especially is monstrous and I'm scared.
