what I love about this golden shell unearthed in Romania is that it shows how in 800CE people in this region had detailed knowledge of nautilus, an animal that lives almost 10,000 kilometers away in the warm waters of southeast Asia 🧪

A perfectly made golden nautilus, with a few dints and bumps but otherwise in amazing condition.

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this. Smashed records. Curtesy of Garrett Roberts.

I’ve been feeling a bit stale lately so I decided to really mix it up and try something different. I’m not sure it will end up going anywhere, though, as it doesn’t really feel like my vibe. #pottery #ceramics

Learning to make cordage like the Neanderthals from @sallypointer.bsky.social. I’m using flax as it was the easiest prepared bast fiber to find. The 3-ply Neanderthal cordage found in Abri de Maras was made from conifer bast and is dated to ~40 to 50 ka 1/2 #archaeology 🏺 #handspun 🧶

Photograph of cordage making in progress. In the upper right, there’s a small ball of 2 ply cordage. A length of 3 ply cordage is stretched out horizontally in the middle. The bottom of the image contains a bundle of flax fibers, ready to use.

You may not be shocked to learn that Elon Musk has egregiously misled the world about the Oldham grooming story. I've been reporting on it for years and so much of the noise traces back to one bad faith rabble rouser called Raja Miah. This is the real story. manchestermill.co.uk/p/elon-musk-...

manchestermill.co.uk

Elon Musk thinks there is a hidden grooming scandal in Oldham. Why can’t the police find it?

This week’s controversy can be traced back to a vicious online campaign that has terrified politicians – but struggled to substantiate its claims

Superb op-ed by Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post about the link between #climate change and the LA fires. This is how it should be done by every journalist. Gift article. wapo.st/4fT0K44

Opinion | The Los Angeles fires won’t affect climate denial. They should.

The disastrous California wildfires are another undeniable sign of the dangers of climate change.

In 1998, Mike Davis wrote a prophetic and very correct meditation on letting Malibu burn. “A monomaniacal obsession with managing ignition rather than chaparral accumulation simply makes doomsday-like firestorms and the great floods that follow them virtually inevitable.”

The Case for Letting Malibu Burn - Longreads

Many of California's native ecosystems evolved to burn. Modern fire suppression creates fuels that lead to catastrophic fires. So why do people insist on rebuilding in the firebelt?

previous snow storms, this one isn’t particularly significant. In the winter of 2010-2011, Sheffield was hit with five feet of snow, while in 1947, the worst winter on record, snow drifts several meters high cut off large parts of the city including Lodge Moor, pictured below.
