You know with all my complaining I actually got a lot of done today! Tons of #socialmedia stuff that I can’t wait to teach my students.

Another example of bad old school thinking: the car guy recommends premium 97 octane gas for my 20year old #saab. Which is just wrong. I hear this all the time. It is wrong. If it’s 87, use 87, higher octane does 0. S

Experts demystify the science of awkwardness — and explain how to reduce the emotional intensity of mortifying flashbacks (like that one time you called your teacher "Mommy").

A key question raised by the authors: how isolated was this bone tool activity in space and time?

Is it a glimpse at something lasting, an unbroken chain up to the modern day (but obscured by preservation biases)? Or a short-lived hominin technological experiment?

How can we tell the difference?🏺

“at butchery sites of large mammals…large heavy bone tools may have fulfilled functions that were later achieved by large bifacial stone tools” - de la Torre et al.

New: elephant and hippo bones were shaped with stone hammers into tools 1.5 million years ago at Olduvai Gorge 🏺🧪🦴

Bone tools shaped by knapping found within Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania precede any other evidence of systematic bone tool production by more than 1 million years.

I’m liking this place now, but it’s still a bubble. Are there any accounts here where I can keep an eye on conservative issues? (Without the assholery.)

I mean I’m a dork too (I was a software developer) but we were also cigarette smoking, cheap beer drinking, indie rock kids. I played rugby. #bezos or #zuckerberg ? I chug in your faces dorks.

Having personally worked for #Bezos and having met #Zuckerberg when he was a student… fascinated that people are so wowed by then when they are just super awkward, weeny dorks. They are genetically unhip.

Expanding business from
Brookline to Roxbury/South End and now looking into Cambridge/Cambridgeport/East Cambridge. Pumped. But it’s going to be a lot of work.
