Ok, so more on this. Crazy cool. Human ancestors with flint tools and a hearth making fire and cooking 400,000 years ago in modern day England. Come on. I did not have that on today’s bingo card. #humangeography #geography #history #fire @anericangeo.bsky.social

As a reminder, #history will continue to find deeper and deeper roots. Not more recent than previously thought. We are going to find more and more fascinating human history from way before we ever thought we would. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...?

If you live in #DC #WashingtonDC and have strong opinions about the boundaries of DC neighborhoods, there is no such authoritative map and these folks are crowdsourcing a map. Take a look at this flyer and give it a go! #geography #geospatial @openstreetmap.bsky.social @americangeo.bsky.social

More baby bust alarmism by @joshuaqyang.bsky.social at @washingtonpost.com. This stuff just gets so old. Time to reimagine economics for an era of degrowth. Prosperity and wellbeing do not demand growth. Please read some @vegardskirbekk.bsky.social. www.washingtonpost.com/world/intera...?

Well, I guess we could just import #MexicanCocaCola, right? Are the President and #RFKJr saying that Mexico has always been right and America has been wrong re: Coke? Make American Great Again By Being More Like Mexico? Fraught. www.axios.com/2025/07/22/c...?

So, I thought I had heard that #AlanDershowitz had frequented #JeffreyEpstein’s #LolitaEpxress. Am I incorrect? If I am not, why does he have an ounce of credibility in anything related to this topic? Does that make molestation attorney client privilege? www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epst...?
