Good way for the left to reclaim patriotism
AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

not trying 2 go coastal elite mode but california holds up this country's economy and subsidizes so much of day to day life in traditionally red states, the federal government needs it a lot more than the reverse
HANNITY: Are you saying that California, if they continue to aid and abet lawbreaking and harbor illegal immigrants, money from DC gets cut off?

MIKE JOHNSON: Yeah. We're talking about conditions to this disaster aid.

Despite patriarchy's persistence, growing numbers of men believe they have it worse off than women. And, new research shows this "male victimhood" ideology is most common among men who aren't facing hardship. Which means what they're really feeling is status loss. 1/

Male victimhood ideology driven by perceived status loss, not economic hardship, among Korean men
Research published in Sex Roles suggests that male victimhood ideology among South Korean men is driven more by perceived socioeconomic status decline rather than objective economic hardship.

On more important news: a new PROOF report on Trump’s first day in office is coming tonight.

As I promised readers in December, my focus in my second-term Trump reporting as a presidential historian isn’t on stoking outrage but rather “leopard journalism”: showing how his actions hurt _his_ voters.

So there's a recently published study surrounding radiocarbon dated South American megafauna remains. The youngest dates were ~3,500 years BP for Xenorhinotherium and Palaeolama.

I'll post some further thoughts about this later.

Wouldn't it be great if attempts to clone back a wooly mammoth had the side effect of saving thousands of premature infant humans by
developing artificial womb technology?

Coverage of Deep Ellum's attempt to de-extinct the wooley mammoth. Hidden inside of all the Pleistocene Park nonsense is this important detail:

"Inside its labs in Deep Ellum, work is underway to create artificial wombs to grow a woolly mammoth calf."
Woolly Mammoth de-extinction project underway in Dallas
In a historic building in Deep Ellum, a colossal effort is underway to bring some of the most famously extinct animals back to life.

Cheonggyecheon is proof that removing highways can make cities better. 20 years ago, Seoul replaced concrete with a stream, and the results are remarkable: cooler temperatures, cleaner air, and 12 million visitors annually.

My latest for the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
‘Everyone thought it would cause gridlock’: the highway that Seoul turned into a stream
Cheonggyecheon stream in the South Korean capital has become an attraction – and helps with flood management, fighting air pollution and cooling the city

Another ancient Greek vase from an alternative history in which humans were more gentle to the world around them.

A group of Candiacervus, endemic Cretan deer, taking part in a spring festival. I imagine them as tame but not domesticated, like the famous deer in Nara, Japan.

Made this exact same post on Twitter and the negative reaction to me calling myself a historian, even just an amateur historian, made me realize I just need to leave that website for good.
One of the most interesting parts of being a historian is realizing that periods of time you assumed to be long stretches of hundreds or thousands of years were actually just a few brief decades

Out on the windy, hilly steppes of southern Arvel, a lone Bosuga and Hill Ogre stand firmly together. As they can hear the infrasound of elephants, ogres are quick to respond to their distress calls. Creatures and setting are creations of @talesofkaimere.bsky.social.

The rhinos we have and the ones we lost.

In the late Pleistocene, about two thirds of the worlds terrestrial megafauna went extinct. Rhinos fared better than average, but still, all the temperate and cold climate species are gone. Those that remain are endangered and in dire need of protection.
