"One of the archaeologists who attended the presentation, Giulia D’Angelo, is from the Le Marche region and she brought a hometown insight that proved essential to solving the mystery."
"The project had been dormant for many years, until a group recently revived the project through community mobilization, technical training, and an acknowledgement that digital sovereignty is an essential element for the sharing of knowledge in Indigenous languages."
I've never used grammarly but if you have an account, I'd throw it in the trash and set it on fire because what the actual fuck
The time to bring back Firefly was 2005-2007, when people were still whining about it and before Joss became irredeemable.
I cannot see a good outcome for it now. Can we please let some stories die with their dignity intact? These people would recuscitate a mummy if it could sign a check.

There are two fresh loaves of walnut-crowned banana bread cooling on a rack and it is torment, I tell you, PURE TORMENT.
In which the blooming has begun, an invitation is issued, and hiccups strike.
anybody?
This is my local newspaper, and I just find it so strange that the Republican obsession is so normalised. America acts like it's usual and unremarkable.
Republicans are pathologically obsessed with the genitalia of strangers and children. It’s weird and creepy.
What I wanted was a morning run. What I got was my body deciding “nope” two-thirds of the way through and then dealing with blackberry bushes once I finally got home.
I need a cuppa.
Dolly Parton is literally the only good billionaire and proof we don't just actively hate people with money simply for having it.
We hate you because you're all fucking monsters.
To robbery, slaughter, plunder, they give the lying name of empire; they make a desolation and call it peace.
You might recall this thread about a slop book scam website from last month.
Today I got a fake invitation to do a radio interview which claimed the station was in partnership with the very same slop website.
This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
"This attempt to ban religion from space is curious, if only because Chafer oversees a company dedicated to the ritualistic deposition of human (and in at least one case, canine) remains."
Something is fucked with our timeline, cuz a Guy Like This should be 2nd trumpet in a ska band called Magnificent Muff Divers or some shit, not misreading Tolkien to build fascist murderbots
It's a new month, and that means new sales and price drops! (Be sure to check the dates.)
You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.
I still mourn our local Borders m, where both my children browsed the manga section and developed a lifelong love of the format.
I agree with the sentiment here that many of these "learning" apps, Duolingo in this case, are not actually all that useful for learning. These apps get you addicted to the feeling of progress and learning, all with the goal of keeping you on the platform and turning a profit.
tumblr post by user sapphling from August of 2023 reading: "sitting anti-kink posters down in front of a wrestling match and explaining kayfabe to them with the patience of a preschool teacher" "You see that one? He's called the "heel." He looks mean and says a lot of scary things, but it's not real and he's actually very nice. When he says "I'm going to break you in half" you don't have to be scared because it's pretend. These two talked about this beforehand, and now they're playing pretend together. Can you think of any other situations that might be like this? Then they have screenshotted tags left on their post by another user reading: "crying screaming and throwing up when you tell me the undertaker didn't REALLY die and come back to life all those times" sapphling follows that with "no that part was real"
Used to be if I had the urge to reply, “I’ll bet *you’re* fun at parties” I would mute, and “…why would you say something like that out loud?” I would block.
Nowadays, it’s all block.
It's spooky out here man. That's why you really gotta figure out who you are and what you want, ground yourself in it, become relatively immovable, and block anything that ain't that from getting near you. Folks will take and use and abuse any chance they get.
A post on X from the betting platform Polymarket that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”
Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity
May this be the first of many.
(Of course Amazon’s huffy PR response is hideously funny and makes me snort-laugh, for entirely different reasons.)
Exhausted by this dodge. Urging masking for health protection of self and OTHERS during a pandemic is not remotely the same as masked federal agents assaulting, arresting, and sometimes killing people — while ignoring the courts and remaining anonymous.
Thank you for not making me do a Ted Talk.
