Proof the hillfort was already in use before the arrival of the Stay-Tab People in 1989.

Archeologists still argue whether this was genuine migration and invasion, or whether their distinct drinking vessels and clothing (shellsuits) were simply new technologies being adopted by local tribes.
#FindsFriday Find of the day from the Wrekin hillfort, Shropshire, yesterday. Part of a ring pull from the late 1970s-early 1980s..

Proper archaeology 😄🧐

She argues in Italian
She sings to you in French
She yells at you in German
In tones that make you clench
The girl is complicated
And very hard to please
When you disappoint her

I like Hollywood films that include scientists helping/being the heroes (even if they’re always unrealistic caricatures), but maybe we could do with a few more films with *historians* in that role, giving stars valuable lessons from history about the last time humans got themselves into this mess.

Just watched G20, a ludicrous film featuring a US President, global negotiations, South Africa, and a villain who plans to crash the world economy in order to get crypto rich

Rearrange some of those words and it’s basically the news.

That discrepancy somehow doesn't matter for my US tax forms, though. Funny, that. 😒

@standupmaths.bsky.social I expect a new chapter in Humble Pi exploring the bad maths used by the Trump administration to calculate tariffs. It's reminding me of the book price algorithm story.

Obama should run 😉
President Trump has insisted he is “not joking” about the possibility of serving a third term, in his clearest statement yet that he may seek to extend his presidency beyond the limit set by the US constitution
I’m not joking about a third term as president, Trump insists

Trump running America is the political equivalent of letting Dougal do a funeral.

I didn't think my opinion of that woman could sink any lower but now she's dissed Pompey I realise how wrong I was. Of course in my day there was only a Polytechnic there but it was spread over much of the island.

So now I'm looking forward to an anniversary remix of "Feed the Wurzels" with all the West Country references, but in the meantime I'll just sing along to all the versions of Feed the World with the right lyrics.
@thewurzels.bsky.social I'm sure you are on the case.
