My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

Of course the best fossils are always ✨Paleozoic plants✨ This is a polished section of a Psaronius tree fern from the early Permian (~290 million years) of the Czech Republic πŸŒΏβ›οΈ We can see the root mantle (R) and the base of several leaves (arrows).

The Marks That Predate Writing by 35,000 Years A new study finds that Stone Age sign sequences carved into ivory figurines share a statistical fingerprint with the earliest known writing β€” and the implications are stranger than they sound.

New research finds that 40,000-year-old Aurignacian sign sequences share a statistical fingerprint with the earliest protocuneiform writing β€” despite a 35,000-year gap. Not writing. But not nothing either. #Archaeology #HumanEvolution #Paleolithic www.anthropology.net/p/the-marks-...

An early 20th-century cat propaganda poster. A grey cat in worker garb stands in the foreground pointing at a large, empty bowl. In the background is a factory city whose workers are pouring into the streets. The cat asks the viewer through the top text of the poster "The owners have taken our labour, our life. And in return?" It is answered in bold text in the middle of the poster with "Empty Bowls!"
