This is actually the only even slightly substantive criticism I have of @waatcoconut.bsky.social's academic pageturner, Gods, guns and missionaries. What a vitally fascinating and well written work!

I mean, Big Man Dudu DID dedicate the booty of Girsu to the Sex Goddess, so...

Sometimes I wonder if I will ever become an adult.

Today, I had an hour to kill in London, so I made rather useless pilgrimage to the site which, 15 years ago, sparked the joy of urban planning in me.

Hello @jayforeman.bsky.social can I tag you here? You make cool stuff.

Trump presenting himself as the representative of "peace" with Putin brings out my inner Theoden:
“I say, Théoden King: shall we have peace and friendship, you and I? It is ours to command." "We will have peace," said Théoden at last thickly and with an effort. Several of the Riders cried out gladly. Théoden held up his hand. "Yes, we will have peace," he said now in a clear voice, "we will have peace, when you and all your works have perished--and the works of your dark master to whom you would deliver us. You are a liar, Saruman, and a corrupter a men's hearts. You hold out your hand it to me, and I perceive only a finger of the claw of Mordor. Cruel and cold! Even if your war on me was just--as it was not, for were you ten times as wise you would have no right to rule me and mine for your own profit as you desired--even so, what will you say of your torches in Westfold and the children that lie dead there? And they hewed Háma's body before the gates of the Hornburg, after he was dead. When you hang from a gibbet at your window for the sport of your own crows, I will have peace with you and Orthanic. So much for the house of Eorl. A lesser son of great sires am I, but I do not need to lick your fingers. Turn elsewhither. But I fear your voice has lost its charm.” -J.R.R. Tolkien

When you Googled "Anunnaki" you used to first get proper Bronze Age archaeology pictures from Wikipedia and a wikipedia article.
The text is still there, but the pictures have become, uhm, whatever this is.

Watching Nebula. (Which is a great streaming service you should sign up if you can)

I just... really don't like this Johnny Harris thumbnail. It does not spark joy.

I trust Harris a bit, so I assume it's a bait and switch for pseudohistory fans but... bleh.
