After years of failed drainage fixes, #Shiloh residents deserve transparency. Why won't #ALDOT release the runoff calculations for its new drainage project? 📷 See 15 documented flood events in the Shiloh community between 2018-2026 here. Believe your eyes! canva.link/pmr2lcsu584gr5x

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.

On this day in 1863, the second day of Gettysburg, the 1st Minnesota regiment engaged in one of the two most significant infantry actions in our history (Chamberlain’s Mainers at Little Roundtop performing the other), a suicidal bayonet charge to hold Cemetery Ridge, with 82% casualties….\1

🚧 #ALDOT is preparing to construct a federally funded drainage project in #Shiloh, yet the residents most affected by 8 years of #flooding have not been given a public meeting to review the plans or ask questions. That needs to change. #JusticeforShiloh 🔗 Learn more: ow.ly/AmLp50YIfGU

My family has been here since 1621. That is not what makes me American.

Owl of Athena! 🦉❤️ A rare Athenian silver decadrachm, c. 467 BC. Münzkabinett der Staatlichen Museum, Berlin 📷 ArchaiOptix #Archaeology
The photo by ArchaiOptix shows the reverse of an Athenian silver decadrachm coin (a high value coin worth ten drachmas) with an image of an upright owl facing forward with outstretched wings, standing within a recessed square. The owl gazes directly at the viewer with large round eyes. At the top left corner is an olive sprig with two leaves. From the top right corner the letters A Θ E (“Athens”) run clockwise, with A in upper right corner and Θ and E above the owl’s feet. Weight 42.6g. Diameter 35mm. Dated circa 467 BC.  Only some 40 (authentic) examples of the Athenian decadrachm are known. This example is housed in the Numismatic Collection of the State Museum in Berlin.

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.
