New evidence suggests that alcohol was a surprisingly big motivator in our monumental transition from hunting and gathering to farming – but was beer really more important to us than bread?
Did ancient humans start farming so they could drink more beer?

@totalcurtis.bsky.social hello mate, I've temporarily mislaid your book. I need some help with the usually impossible. A decent pub with decent beer that shows the football? In Manchester city centre. Grateful for any advice!

@tobyhadoke.bsky.social Hi! This was in the letterbox pages of Viz this month. They're supposed to be joke letters but a perfectly sensible one seems to have snuck in!!

Halfway through and hugely enjoying it. Astonishing how Justin covers all facets of eighties music, from pop to soul to "world music" to even Microdisney, and somehow makes it all cohere. Each entry packs a lot of vital information and trivia so concisely, entertainingly and effectively. Do get it.
OUT NOW, my month-by-month guide to 1980s pop, from ABC to XTC, and from Madonna to Neneh. #IntoTheGroove, published by @eandtbooks.bsky.social.

@mutoidkrynoidpods.bsky.social hi guys love the show. Have you seen The Tyrant King? It's on YouTube and if you don't mind the slightly obnoxious young rich characters there's lots to enjoy, I think the music may appeal to J too!

if you want to understand tailoring, you only need to watch mid-century movies, when actors were dressed by tailors, not brands. in the 1944 film cover girl, gene kelly's suit drapes beautifully, moving with him, not against him. collar stays on his neck, even as he dances.

Hello! I hate to be _that_ guy but I would really love you forever if you could repost/recommend/regurgitate my post about my lovely game. It's been a shitshow with regards to my health of late and I've not been able to make much new this year, but I'd love people to try Cortextual out. Thanks <3
As some habitual games that people here play are going behind paywalls, it's time to promote my free game Cortextual – not only does it have a daily "find the word" game but also a free-play game where later levels are more taxing than you'd think. Just match the twinned letters, numbers and emojis!
Cortextual
Play Cortextual - a free game that tests your observation and reaction skills.

@raynewman.bsky.social oh lord. I know there's not supposed to be guilty pleasures any more but polish sex devil films like exorcist devil (1974) are quite something. I can't believe the league of gentlemen gang didn't see it

@squidgerugby.bsky.social Hello mate, enjoying your videos , the eng sco analysis was spot on and educational(sorry!).
One thing I've noticed generally is South Africans seem more outward looking about northern hemisphere rugby than NZ and Australia, perhaps I'm looking in the wrong channels?
