Archaeology folks, anyone recognize this mark? It seems to say FSC inside the diamond. Small jar or ointment pot with deep string rim, collected on St Eustatius, no other context available. Glaze pooling blue. 🏺

I've said before: we should bring back dialogues, so instead of carefully and defensively writing around any argument you could think of, you can just write a part where the argument gets made by someone named Uggo Dumbfuck and refute it directly.

The answer to "why does everything suck now" almost ALWAYS goes back to "venture capital." Which goes back to "a lot of people have too much money and don't know what to do with it." Which goes back to: "We need to tax rich people more." It's like it's the solution to 99% of our problems!!

Friends, does anyone here happen to have a favorite book about the craft of editing? I've been making a list, but would love to hear from others about the books that completely engaged you.

This is fascinating stuff. The British Empire continually shifting people between continents - some more voluntarily than others. Here's a little family story of displacement: richardfjbrown.co.uk/2024/08/20/t...

The Lady Kennaway’s last voyage

This is a family story, an unexceptional but striking vignette of the British Empire. On 20 November 1857, The Lady Kennaway made anchor at East London, South Africa, having sailed from Plymouth, E…

Reading minutes from meetings of the Society of Antiquaries in the 1720s and 1730s and so much of it is "hey guys, I found a cool rock!" "Would you look at this weird coin?" or "My cousin told me about a dead body he saw one time." We need to bring back adult show and tell. I'm serious about this.

Brushing up for a new class and it really is remarkable how much the Anglophone historiography of North America has been transformed by something as simple as “more people learning Spanish”

Axel is an incredible, brilliant writer and a person that I am honored to call one of my best friends. They make any place better to be, and they will make any story 10x funnier, smarter, and more heartbreaking. Also, great beard. Really can’t undersell the beard.

I'm one of the folks affected. *Many* on the list are gifted; their work was crucial to the weird little miracle that is ZP. Please, consider hiring them. Dust is still settling on my end, but my inbox is open.

I am now OPEN TO WORK. I've been told I'm a pleasure to have in class, and also that I bring a kind of 'major freak who can also make you cry' energy to the writer's room. I can neither confirm nor deny that I was the reason we had to eventually make a 'No More Puns' rule on ZP.

Unfortunately, I've been informed that my job is one of those being made redundant in the layoffs at the studio today. This has been an insanely creative, talented, and kind group of people, and I am going to miss my friends terribly.

I know the world is literally on fire right now, but I'm here to say social scientists who want a calming, distracting puzzle activity should step away from Wordle and play Column Binary Conversion. Quixotic, I know, but hear me out: solve a puzzle AND unlock data that's been unusable for decades!

Like, people have done a massive amount of research over the last several decades on needed reforms. Why is the media so insistent on ignoring it? Why are the newfangled university "reformers" not engaging with critical university studies?: abusablepast.org/microsyllabu...

There is a massive amount of research and literature on needed reforms to universities that nobody at The Atlantic, New York Times, New Yorker, or in the "thought industry" want to talk about or even pretend exists. Wonder why! www.press.jhu.edu/books/series...
