The real ‘paleo’ diet had plenty of fruits and veggies A new study of ancient pottery adds to evidence that hunter-gatherers in Europe ate more than meat and developed early elements of cuisine.

So it turns out the reason all those bros thought the paleo diet was all meat is that it takes more skill to detect vegetable residue than it does to detect animal fat on 14,000 year-old pottery shards.

Correct. Will vary for numerous reasons, including ones mentioned in a prior skeet and linked article, and also how a given publication may have implemented bot management or not

Democratic pols in general seem to remain convinced that “works across the aisles” is an unvarnished good in the attempt to peel off swing voters. It’s hard for any single candidate to buck the party-wide refusal to attack the other party as such and actually aim to change voter prior affinities.

I also don’t know of a full accounting of the spiritual and material loss to American leftism, progressivism, and revolutionism generally entailed in the collapse of Marxism.

Good observations, but current generation may have less actual or perceived room to maneuver - greater actual or perceived personal precarity, less belief they could change the world, rearrange the world, as the song went.

Getting a lot of suspicious follows by accounts that look maybe AI-generated

I wonder if this is a bit like life in the Soviet Union. No one *officially* knows what's really happening even though everyone knows exactly what's going on

It's bizarre that some politicians are trying to behave as if the US president were sane, or capable of reason or moral judgement.

Could see how that might affect the mirth admixture for some observers

It also makes execs and many of their assistants think THEY + ChatGPT can handle complicated tasks they are (for now) paying qualified people to do.

…Often, however, they will be left cold by movies or shows that their friends passionately admire. Kubrick’s films, Kuroswara’s, a film like Fury Road, apparently Pluribus. (In truth I like Pluribus, but think it may be a bit overdone in this way, underdone in others - not really sure.)

There are people - very intelligent, creative, sensitive, perceptive people - for whom certain kinds of cinematic storytelling just don’t work as well as they do for others. They may even like some of the same movies or tv shows, though maybe not as much or in quite the same way…

Household? I bet not even Wright, though maybe.Total name recognition of Pei? 1% is my guess. Gehry maybe 5%?

One little-noted AI/LLM problem: sites getting overwhelmed by bot traffic, crashing - time lost engineering countermeasures amidst uncertainty whether they will harm ai search visibility

A digital illustration of a star going supernova, surrounded by a gaseous disc in orange and red tones. The star is seen exploding in an olive shape, directed above and below the star.

A digital illustration of a star going supernova, surrounded by a gaseous disc in orange and red tones. The star is seen exploding in an olive shape, directed above and below the star.

For the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a supernova explosion just a day after detection, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.

Achieved by our VLT, this feat will help us understand how massive stars die: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2520/

It functions thermostatically until the thermostat breaks and a re-alignment occurs, after which people can go back to reflexive affiliation/politics as team sport again, just under new presumptions.

Rooting not just for a Game 7 of the World Series, but another 18 inning game that goes so long on Saturday night that the clocks fall back at 2am before it’s ended and everyone gets tremendously confused about what time it is.

Should have intentionally walked Miguel Rojas, can't take that risk

Truly what the hell were they trying to prove letting Ohtani face the lineup a second time when he barely got through the first time.

Guessing pre-game plan was for Ohtani to get 9 outs and Dave didn’t adjust. .

He’s pitching on 3 days rest with the whole staff behind him! WTH
