Ash Wednesday
Bruce Campbell as his character Ash in the movie Army of Darkness. Cropped mid-torso, he is very filthy and disheveled in a torn up shirt as he holds a shotgun above his head. In the background is the stone wall of a castle and a crowd of people in generically medieval costumes.

Good morning. The Guardians of the Stairs bid you approach, humbly and reverently.
Charlie is sitting at the top of the stairs, and Saja is laying on the stair directly below that. Both are looking toward the camera.

Back in history, there were loads of royal princes who were supposed to be King – but lost out at the last minute. Listen to this banger to find out why!

The Roman Pharos (lighthouse) at Dover, still standing after almost 2,000 years! 🤩

It is the tallest surviving Roman structure in Britain, and one of only three surviving lighthouses from the former Roman Empire! Dated 1st-2nd century AD.

📷 me

#Archaeology
My photo shows the ruin of an eight-sided Roman brick lighthouse with four stepped levels. There is a central arched opening (doorway) at ground level. On the upper three levels, in line with the doorway, there are narrow rectangular window openings. The lighthouse stands 15.8 metres high and is 12.2 metres wide at the base. Roman fabric survives to a height of 12.5 m. The brickwork of the uppermost level was reconstructed for use as a church bell tower for the adjacent Anglo-Saxon church of St Mary in Castro, which can be glimpsed on the right-hand side of my photo. The lighthouse is dated circa 1st century to early- 2nd century AD. It was one of a pair originally built on each side of the Roman port of Dubris (Dover). The other does not survive. This lighthouse stands within the grounds of Dover Castle.

reminder of cryptogyny, the hiding of women's contributions to science, technology, engineering, and medicine:
"although three men received the Nobel Prize for penicillin, women participated significantly in the team effort that brought the drug to medical usefulness."

www.jstor.org/stable/jj.55...
Although the twentieth century finds male practitioners firmly in control of formal Western medicine, women doctors and healers still have important inventions and innovations to their credit. For example, although three men received the Nobel Prize for penicillin, women participated significantly in the team effort that brought the drug to medical usefulness. Women had discovered the mold’s usefulness centuries or perhaps millennia earlier (Halsbury 1971, p. 19; Raper 1952, p. 1), and one nineteenth-century Wisconsin woman, Elizabeth Stone, an early antibi otic therapist, specialized in treating lumberjacks’ wounds with poultices of moldy bread in warm milk or water: she never lost an injury patient (Stellman 1977, p. 87). In the twentieth-century development of the drug, it was a woman bacteriologist, Dr. Elizabeth McCoy of the University of Wisconsin, who created the ultraviolet-mutant strain of Penicillium used for all further production, since it yielded nine hundred times as much penicillin as Fleming’s strain (Bickel 1972, p. 185; O’Neill 1979, p. 219).4 And as Howard Florey, leader of the British penicillin team, was quick to point out, it was Dr. Ethel Florey’s precise clinical trials that transformed penicillin from a crude some time miracle worker into a reliable drug. It was also a woman, Nobel laureate and X-ray crystallographer Dr. Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin, who finally deter mined the precise structure of the elusive penicillin molecule (Bickel 1972, p. 216; Opfell 1978, pp. 211, 219). Women were also involved in developing the sulfa drugs that preceded penicillin. For instance, it was a married pair of chemists, Prof. and Mme. Tréfouėl, and their colleagues at the Pasteur Institute in Paris who split red azo dye to create sulfanilamide (Bickel 1972, p. 50). At least two women have invented new antibiotics for which they receive sole credit. Dr. Odette Shotwell of Denver, Colorado, came up with two new antibiotics—duramycin and azacolutin—during her fi…

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
papapishu.bsky.social Chris Person @papapishu.bsky.social · 2d
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

And with Tebbutt instead of Wallace, this is actually watchable. No ogling of female contestants, no gurning, no inane questions.

This is why the right HATES Sesame Street. All human beings deserve respect. There are some for whom I've lost respect, but that is about how they treat other people, not their race, religion, or color.

This is a beautiful reminder of what Rev Jesse Jackson taught.

Your reminder that close friend of Peter Mandelson (the guy who was also close personal friend & corrupt enabler of Jeffrey Epstein) Emily Maitlis claims personal credit for creating the moral panic around the Tavistock gender care clinic.

I show this in almost every single class I teach to demonstrate the simple values behind the dignity of all people and how at odds our culture's norms are to the idea. I have cried over how hard it is to believe myself when I repeat after Rev. Jackson, "even if I make a mistake, I am somebody." RIP.
