What could possibly be wrong with an AI generated map of first peopling of the Pacific? Almost everything. From Richards et al 2026 "Lessons from pseudoscience in the Pacific in face of GenAI" www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.... 🏺 (open access) #archaeology

An attractive AI generated map of peopling of the Pacific, showing Hawai'i twice, Lapita originating in NZ and proceeding westwards, New Guinea labelled as Borneo, and many other absolute clangers. From linked article: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.1080/03122417.2026.2706246?needAccess=true

I present to your Sphinx & Pyramid of Khufu. (If it says it on the sign, it must be so!) 😉

I am… older than this figure and I'm still considering trying new ways to communicate science. I wouldn't suggest putting things off, but if you happen to be Of An Age, don't let that discourage or stop you.

Happy 10 year anniversary of the best mic drop on Twitter. Hard to believe it’s been so long! Congrats @astrokatie.com

Honestly climate change scares the heck out of me and it makes me so sad to see what we're losing because of it.

@AstroKatie Maybe you should learn some actual SCIENCE then, and stop listening to the criminals pushing the #GlobalWarming SCAM!

Katie Mack @AstroKatie
@gary4205 | dunno, man, I already went and got a PhD in astrophysics.
Seems like more than that would be overkill at this point.

Your regular reminder that paleontologists study dinosaurs and other extinct creatures, while archaeologists study humans and their material culture. The study of dinosaur material culture is a mashup known as Paleoarchaeology and these pioneering scholars are rewriting history! 😉

Lots of pushback on this one, but no surprise. The scholarship is very clear that this concept was invented by Robert Graves, who made up many things about goddess he didn't understand. -Hutton, Ronald . 2001 . The Triumph of the Moon: A History of Modern Pagan Witchcraft . Oxford University Press

The Odyssey was extraordinary. No spoilers don't worry. Nolan had to compress a major epic poem into 3 hours. It is amazing because by watching the film, you feel you are listening to the ancient performer reciting it in a torch lined hall. The best movie I've ever seen about the ancient world.

It is becoming unethical to offer these fully asynchronous courses. Our college has been very cool about switching to hybrid testing models. I’ve also begun to do zoom follow ups after online quizzes to test knowledge. No longer time for heads-in-the-sand.

A #Roman glass 'circus beaker' (so called because the animals portrayed on it - a lion & a big cat - would mostly have been seen in the arena), found in a burial in Himlingøje (Denmark) - did it get there through trade, as war booty, or a diplomatic gift, maybe..? #Archaeology #AncientBlueSky
