So excited - Domination is number 3 in the Sunday Times bestseller list!
And it seems I can’t get away from medieval cities and monasteries on a rainy Sunday afternoon!

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are headed back to Earth today. The recent crew launch was NOT a “rescue mission”, the capsule they’re coming home in has been docked to the space station since *September*!

This podcast is incredible. I’ve binged it in a day. It’s an astonishingly personal & brave story, but with wide-ranging, far-reaching implications; the digital era has given stalkers more weapons, misogyny is rampant, and online abuse causes real-life harm. A hard but important listen.
And then there's this, out today: ep 4 of Stalked. The top series in the UK. This week we name who we think is Hannah's stalker. The BBC has been pretty incredible. I'm not sure any other UK news org would do this in the face of the pushback we've had

So excited to see this! Amazing achievement from everyone - but especially Liv, Rita and Mari. Most of these papers were written during the darkest depths of lockdown which was a weird enough experience in itself. God only knows how they managed to pull all of this together. A marvel!
Out today: The Oxford Handbook of Mesolithic Europe with contributions by brilliant mesolithic specialists from across Europe.
Solid and inspired research.
The beautiful cover by Tom Björklund captures the human scale of the past - a fundamental theme for the book.

Great thread and article on how analysis of ancient proteins is helping shed more light on human evolution - protein may still be preserved in fossils where all the DNA has long since disappeared.

End of an era - I've been interviewed by Kay many times and she's always been great to me: well briefed on whatever the subject was, asked smart questions, listened to the answer. I know she's not everyone's cup of tea, but we need tough, well-seasoned older women on telly.

Burley said that “after over a million minutes of live TV news — more than anyone else in the world — it’s time for me to indulge in some of my other passions”

The only thing he regrets about partygate was apologising.
And Brexit was just an argument with Cameron that he had to win.
What a monumental dickhead Johnson is.
He fully deserves his disgraceful legacy and no book he writes, no interview he gives can ever change that.

Given how utterly outraged the rightwing howler monkeys suddenly are about govt salaries, gifts and donations, it’s surprising that they spent the last 14 years *not* changing the rules, lolling about in the trough themselves and relying on their complicit media to nod along.

I wish the UK was as proactive in its vaccine policies- akin to USA we will offer free vaccines for flu albeit to most vulnerable groups, a national RSV vaccine campaign announced for older people and pregnant women but our Covid vaccines will not be updated 😡🧪
