3 dozen swords, 50 arrowheads dating back 4,000 years seized in Philadelphia CBP says it seized 36 swords and 50 arrowheads dating back to 1600-1000 BCE, destined for Florida at the Port of Philadelphia.

The PBS documentary about artifacts rescued while being smuggled would be great.

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.

three green leaves and a green β€œpulpit,” a vase-shaped flower with one raise side that acts as a cover

three green leaves and a green β€œpulpit,” a vase-shaped flower with one raise side that acts as a cover

a similar flower, but much smaller, with prominent vertical stripes, a black-purple tone to the cover part of the leaf, and a black structure in the center

Arisaema triphyllum | jack in the pulpit 🌿

A charismatic and strange little flower to find in a springtime swamp.

In a few days the colors will darken to be more like the second picture, which is an Arisaema pusillum (small JITP) I saw last year

related to peace lilies and monsteras, Araceae

Meme of the absolutely colossal Ever Given ship grounded with a huge excavator that looks tiny working valiantly to try to dig it out, tiny scoop by tiny scoop. Text on the ship says β€œYou are not obligated to complete the work”. Text lower down by the backhoe reads, β€œBut neither are you free to desist from it.”

This Pirkei Avot quote helps me feel a little less like I have to solve everything (it’s literally been thousands of years of people feeling overwhelmed!) and it cracked me up when someone stuck it on the pics of the tiny backhoe trying to dig out the EverGiven ship when it got stuck.

back in the twitter days I had an idea to create a journal of short history articles and I still think this is a good idea.

some ideas are perfectly good, just not 25 pages long

Re-creating the complex cuisine of prehistoric Europeans SEM analysis of pottery residues showed people combined fish with a wide variety of plants when cooking.

This is incredibly interesting β€” archaeologists have been able to reconstruct the diets of different prehistoric Europeans from 5,000-8,000 years ago by analyzing the charred remains of food in clay pots. Extremely cool!
