Leo Messi in 2011, Argentina vs USMNT at the Meadowlands
Who is the best athlete relative to their sport you saw play live? I'm gonna say Mia Hamm at the 1996 Olympics.

Only appropriate if the buyer expects a delicious popcorn treat only to find something that attacks you inside
As a (former) classicist, I just have to say… yesssssssss I desperately want to eat popcorn from this Trojan horse! 🍿 🐴 (Would be even better if I could share it with @sarahebond.bsky.social.)
Here’s archaeological evidence of archaeology! The top image shows the excavation area at the Ancestral Wichita site 14CO3 in Kansas, covered by a shed. The bottom image is a DEM of Difference between LiDAR captured in 2015 and 2023, showing up to a meter of accumulation of backdirt in that time!
Absolutely love to see people put critiques in writing like this
30 experts from a range of disciplines have responded in print to a Science study published in March that questioned the 14.5kyo date of Monte Verde in Chile. 🏺🧪
This bluff on Ossabaw Island (Georgia) gets cut back up to 70cm a year from erosion due to more extreme tides, more frequent storms, and increased boat traffic. The erosion continually exposes archaeological features. Each year we assess and salvage what we can #archaeology #climatechange #heritage

This is really important! Writing a manuscript recently, I changed the analysis I was planning to do multiple times as I learned more about the research that had been done in that specific niche and identified gaps in the literature
Jess is entirely correct, but there's more: a lit review is also a reflective exercise alongside a communicative one. The process of creating a lit review helps researchers understand what they are contributing and why it matters. Automating this process makes research less thoughtful.
This is disgusting and cruel. I stand with trans Kansans
Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...
How do I do this in Excel? I ask myself. And the answer is always Pivot Table

Congratulations to Max Gosch, student in my Geospatial Archaeology Lab, for his 2nd place finish in the Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Forum poster competition at WSU!
Very proud of my MA student MJ Jacobs for successfully presenting her poster on using UAV photogrammetry to monitor erosion at archaeological sites at #SAA25!
Our most recent work has been covered by National Geographic!! Have we made it?! #archaeology #ecology #conservation #climatechange www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/...
How trash from ancient humans is protecting these coastal islands today
The barrier islands off the coast of Georgia are littered with millions of oysters left behind by Indigenous peoples. New research shows they’re still protecting the land.

Lots of people are hurting today, but I think it’s important to say that the closure of NEH and IMLS is an existential event for #DigitalHumanities #DH
Is this a fucking joke @asor-research.bsky.social? You couldn’t send a clearer signal about how much you value diversity in this field
