Any other insomniacs near Melbourne feel a little earthquake at 2:00am? Definitely not getting to sleep now.

I am tired of having to pretend that the value of studying my discipline solely rests on the "marketable skills" we teach. Sometimes things are just worth knowing and doing because they make your life bigger and richer.

So with no due respect, absolutely nobody needs to accept that status "for the greater good." We know where that leads. Shut this shit down. Human rights are for EVERYONE.

My son just asked me "Mom why do we do small talk at parties" and I replied "Because gossip is a 500,000+ year old adaptive mechanism evolved from when we were Homo Erectus and knapping tools around a fire as a means of norm reinforcement and bond strengthening for group survival." (+ then he cried)

"people should be able to follow the evidence where it leads!" I agree. What they should not be allowed to do is use university resources to twist available evidence into data-shaped lies, and that is all that race scientists want to do. They do not want to follow evidence but to manufacture it

Look, take an old one, paint it, give it a new name and present it as the new design he wanted, then every 3 months change the name on it and present it to him as another new one. Keep doing that and build proper ones in the background, he's too stupid to notice....

My favourite grasshopper fact: Grasshoppers first appeared on the planet 250 million years ago. Grass did not appear on the planet until 40 million years ago Imagine it: 210 million years, hopping around on any random surface you can find, waiting for the grass that will make you truly yourself.

Of course, what these guys actually want is a depiction of Homer with no black people in it, which is itself inaccurate to the poem because Memnon is there with an army of Ethiopians (also Odysseus thinks Memnon is the handsomest fellow he's seen).

The heritage sector generates £15 billion for the economy. If we cut archaeology as a subject, we lose the engine that helps generate it. We also lose our knowledge of past societies. We lose any grasp of who we are, who we’ve been, and who we might yet be.

most authors wouldn't assume they could freely adapt a novel so why do they think that a historical monograph is fair game? they think that a history is a just conveniently packaged set of facts, and their job is to write the story—but the story is already there! it's been told by the historian!

OK, sure. As long as Muslims are also allowed to establish armed security groups to protect mosques & community events. I bet he wouldn’t be in favour of that though. (To be clear, both suggestions are stupid.)
