I obviously need to pay more attention to Burnweed. It looks like it is going to have great flowers and then…it doesn’t. The seed fluffballs make up for it, I guess.

Technically I am from California, but I moved when I was two and my formative years were all east of the Mississippi. I don’t know what to think about this.

A map of the United States with different colors representing how I scored on a 125 question test about how I say certain words and what I call certain things. California and Oregon are darkest red (most similar), the Deep South and New England darkest blue (least similar). I mostly grew up in a yellow
section (in the middle).

I guess it wasn’t my BotD, but it is what I saw when I opened Merlin. Alt text: screenshot of the Merlin bird ID app which has photos of birds, only this photo shows a cow (with two Brown-headed Cowbirds sitting on its head, practically invisible)

My youngest went from struggling with Dr Seuss to reading Harry Potter after my wife read them aloud. She became a voracious reader and a wonderful human.

Why do people follow me? I don’t post very often I lurk. A lot. I block most who ask to follow me because I can’t see a good reason why they would. And I rarely follow someone back. I’m boring.

Something beautiful for the weekend! An extraordinary Acheulean handaxe knapped around a fossil shell c. 500,000-300,000 years ago! From West Tofts, Norfolk 📷 MAA Cambridge University collections.maa.cam.ac.uk/objects/4509... #Archaeology

The photo shows a Lower Paleolithic Acheulean biface handaxe knapped from dark grey flint with a creamy-white cortical layer, shown against a black background. The handaxe is roughly tear-drop shaped with a pointed tip and rounded bottom. There is a fossil shell centrally displayed on one face, identified as the Cretaceous bivalve mollusc Spondylus spinosus. Above the shell to the right is a small rectangular museum label. Likely made by an early neanderthal (Homo neanderthalensis) population or an alternative Middle Pleistocene hominin species (H. heidelbergensis s.l.). The toolmaker has knapped the flint in such a way as to seemingly retain the shell in a central position. The shell’s central display has often been described as an example of aesthetic intention by the toolmaker. A recent study (“The West Tofts handaxe: A remarkably average, structurally flawed, utilitarian biface” by Emily Flanders and Alastair Key) concluded it was likely ‘an average utilitarian tool’ in the eyes of its Acheulean maker, and that the aesthetic intent is assumed by the present-day beholder, and not supported by objective evidence.

Measurements 79mm x 35mm x 132mm. Weight 0.375kg.

One. Cruise to Alaska with side trip to Denali. Spent much of it at the front of the ship looking for birds. I’m tempted to do a European river cruise with Viking. Advertising has been constant.

“Jack-booted government thugs" … "Masked, massively armed mobs of screaming, swearing agents invading the homes of innocents.” A description of the current Homeland Security reign of terror? Nope. This was the National Rifle Association's rhetoric in 1995. 1/5🧵

A National Rifle Association official calls federal agents "black-suited, masked, massively armed mobs of screaming, swearing agents invading the homes of innocents." If that's not descriptive enough, how about a fund-raising letter referring to them as "jack-booted government thugs."
