Let’s be clear, the WBush admin wanted to sell off & privatise everything in the parks, too. I was privy to a leaked draft of re-written NPS Mgmt Policies produced by a Bush lackey, but we pushed back. We were successful. I’m not sure the same can be done now. shorturl.at/fmBjN

“The Harvard Medical School physician received a stop-work order for a program designing treatment plans for people with the most drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis. Infectious diseases do not know borders, she pointed out. 'It’s terrifying'...” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

If we don't have room for immigrants willing to work, maybe we should make room by deporting the white supremacists unwilling to think.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned since starting to talk #RealArchaeology online it’s that conservatives often do not know what science grants are. It is not surprising to me that Trump is targeting them, they are a bogeyman in conspiracy communities. 🧪🏺 Bright Insight Lied youtu.be/2GQ-6dg59xk

The DESTRUCTION OF THE HUMANITIES at Cardiff University Management seems to think that Humanities scholars don't know how to read statistics Diving into their proposals shows how they are trying to hide the true extent of damage to Humanities disciplines here /1

New article! A team of us have developed a methodology (and script - see supplementary materials) for incorporating archaeological and palaeoenvironmental data into a model of past land use that is suitable for climate modelling 🧪🏺https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2024.109142

As someone who used to work for NPS, & was also on my park’s committee to review filming permit applications, this is a bad move by the Biden Administration. 1/3 youtu.be/k4eZouItmO0?...

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/defending-...

I have to unload my MB3 (Miki Berenyi Trio - former lead singer of Lush) tickets for the show in Newport UK at LePub (Great venue!) on the 31st of this month. Two available on Ticketswap for less than what the venue is charging. Share away: www.ticketswap.com/listing/miki...

Amazing fog cover all day here in South Wales. We took a quick jaunt up the hill above our valley into the forest and found ourselves in a beautiful Tim Burtonesque landscape. #sleepyhollow #southwales #moody #forest

ICYMI: 🏺 In the areas UA1 and UA2 of Uruk, remains of a big wall enclosure, a couple of rooms as well as a pre-dynastic terrace were found. The terrace is situated exactly below the Eanna Ziqqurrat and might be it’s predecessor. 🔗 www.artefacts-berlin.de/portfolio-it...

Underreported: Elon just picked the head of NASA—a massive conflict-of-interest that will damage a government entity that he partners with, depends on, and in some cases competes with. The nominated NASA director is a high-school dropout billionaire who is pals with Musk. He has no business at NASA.

I’m very sad to hear that Colin Renfrew, a giant in the field of Prehistoric Archaeology, has joined the realm of the ancients. An academic archaeologist with one foot firmly in the trench, he combined theory & fieldwork with flair - and had a knack for asking the right questions. His work lives on
