Copped this and reading it now. Well written, comprehensive and fascinating. Excellent.

We just had a power cut for THIRTY WHOLE MINUTES. Back on now and my network rebooted from scratch in 5 minutes. Ubiquiti rocks. Heat pump back on too obvs.
Can’t wait to read this ! Neil is a proper expert and very engaging.
Transpontine@transpontine.bsky.social · 2w agoMy new book 'New Cross, New Cross: a cultural history of London SE14' (2026) is now out in the wild, 300+ pages, £15. Available from The Word bookshop (314 New Cross Road) and Crofton Books (315 Brockley Road). Pubs, music, radical politics, sport and much, much more. (More stockists to come)
One of the devils arrows was taken from the field where the current three are and was turned into a war memorial.
Anthropology.net@anthropology.net · 3w agoA war memorial in Yorkshire turns out to be carved from a missing Neolithic megalith. Zircon dating just proved a 19th-century antiquary’s forgotten guess right, 150+ years later. #Archaeology #DevilsArrows #Neolithic www.anthropology.net/p/devils-arr...
More than 2 million Indigenous people likely lived in Australia in 1788, over seven times the figure used for a century, and numbers fell by over 90 percent by 1861. #Archaeology #IndigenousAustralia #PopulationGenetics www.anthropology.net/p/australia-...
Australia Was Home to 2.2 Million Indigenous People in 1788
DNA, radiocarbon dates and climate models put 1788 Aboriginal Australia at over seven times the old estimate, with excess deaths near 2 million by 1861.

This will be excellent, if you are near New Cross do go along
Transpontine@transpontine.bsky.social · 2w agoI'm doing a free history walk on Saturday (19th Sept) around Kender triangle area of New Cross as part of Hatchfest festival. Meet 11 am at old White Hart pub, soon to reopen as the Broken Wheel and have an exclusive look inside! You can also buy a copy of my new New Cross book hatchfest.org (1/2)
As usual, Mekka is accurate. To use the oft-repeated phrase, he has receipts.
Mekka Okereke@mekka.mekka-tech.com · 2w agoThe good news is, that this not true.🤷🏿♂️ We keep trying to rewrite history, and pretend that Trump happened, and then tech billionaires became radicalized, and then they supported him. We ignore that Thiel helped Trump get elected in the 1st place, and Bannon and Epstein helped start the alt-right.
I suspect Dr Williams has a take similar to that of @cstross.bsky.social, who has been talking about this aspect of the new tech-orthodoxy for some years
Dr. Damien P. Williams, dread portent down from a mountain cave@wolven.blacksky.app · 2w agoYou know how I keep saying that "AI" people since the 90s & 2000s all have the same metaphysical commitments & that the best way to understand them is through the lenses of comparative religious studies in new religious movements, mythmaking, & occult studies? I am not now & nor have I been kidding
This is well worth your time. The panel in the interview which shows the distribution of female versus male representation of n prehistory is mind blowing. Excellent.
Jens Notroff@jensnotroff.com · 2w agoUlli Lust's #archaeological #GraphicNovel about Ice Age gender myths and #Paleolithic society is finally being published in English! And @andrewcurry.com used the opportunity for a nice little @science.org interview: www.science.org/content/arti...
This is well worth reading on the statistical reasoning beyond the A.I. doom hype. My view is this messaging is an attempt to get open weight models regulated into competitive disadvantage just as they become a threat to frontier models’ revenue and floatation.
Amanda Shendruk@not-ship.com · 2w agoI really didn't want to add to the AI hype. But there's something the reporting is missing. That scary number? The ">10% chance we'll all perish" number? It's nonsense. It's just a bullshit hunch with a percentage sign. www.not-ship.com/stop-trustin...
It’s the constantly having a lit fag in the left hand rolling out the baseline that really impresses. That and the circle dancing.

“A refusal of despair, a lensing of hope”. Bravo, @hookland.bsky.social
hookland.bsky.social@hookland.bsky.social · 2w agoNext week's Hookland talk is written and I just need to lose 20 minutes of material from it. Hopefully, this paragraph on the importance of folklore and re-enchantment will be retained. #Folklore #Reenchantment
Glorious autumn devotional altar at Sheffield Goddess Temple. It looks fresh and beautiful every time I go in. Fabulous work.
Getting close to “done” with the Lambo Jota in all its 70s space age glory. Nothing broke when I put the body on! Lots of errors but I like it 😆. Tamiya polishing paste arriving today, a new experiment! #italiagb #histscalemodels
Putin pal and oligarch Umar Kremlev, who paid $100,000 towards Don Jr’s wedding, is a former member of the ultranationalist Russian biker gang the Night Wolves and is linked to the abduction of Ukrainian children.
Melania Trump denies link to oligarch ‘involved in child abductions’ — The Times and The Sunday Times
The US first lady said she had no relationship with Umar Kremlev, who paid for Donald Trump Jr’s wedding in the Bahamas this year

Still sad about Shaun’s passing. I did the soundtrack / DI mix to Minds Locked Together, a short film he made while doing photography in club nights. We used to go clubbing and he’d come round my house with big art prints. One time he brought round dry ice “for the kids” but it had evaporated!! ❤️
The Black Dog@theblackdog.bsky.social · 3w agoWe lost a good friend on this day 10yrs ago, still miss him and think about him often. I miss all the silly messages and videos we'd send to each other and of course his fantastic work. One of the best to do it.
Decent progress on the 1975 Lamborghini Jota by Hasegawa. This has been a fabulously entertaining model to build, really enjoyed it. #histscalemodels #italiaGB

Warning for National Trust members who have previously voted to keep the reactionaries of Restore Trust out - they seem to be trying a new tactic this year of not being quite as obvious in their candidates' potted summaries

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

Most of my modelling this year has been of robots. Here’s a big purple hovercraft robot with a maintenance bot and a guy in a mech suit. The purple is amazing IRL. Model is a Hasegawa / Maschinen Kriege set, re-versioned as civilian. #scalemodel Not quite #histscalemodels
