I’m not here to try and change your mind. I’m here to let other people who think as I do know they’re not alone. Be kind. Love one another.
That other platform is getting really weird today.

This is a clear violation of the Hatch Act. I’ve seen other federal websites with similar displays. Please report it to your legislators, who have sworn to uphold the Constitution.

A heads-up to my colleagues in anthropology and archaeology: this is the current pinned post of a right-wing influencer with over 200K followers on X and 1.7M subscribers on YouTube.

Congratulations to @moudhy.bsky.social on the publication of this beautiful new book! Hopefully, it will satisfy the curious while dispelling misinformation about ancient Mesopotamia.

The defunding of archaeology in the U.S. has nothing to do with archaeology. It is part of the larger Republican agenda to defund scientific research and higher education.

The rest of the world will continue to support archaeology and other kinds science.

Republicans are stupid.

For guys like Jimmy, the only value anything has is in its monetization.

Interest in archaeology has not collapsed. Republicans are defunding all science and higher education in the U.S. Interest in archaeology is thriving.

There will always be people to buy the dreck he sells.

Trump claims to “have all the levers.”

He’s telling us he’s planning to rig the NYC mayoral election.

Did he cheat in the 2024 election?

A call on X for genocide is apparently not a violation of Community Standards.
