Tawney colored beer in alewerks pint glass

I'm obsessed with spruce ales, my favorite obscure beer style (think gin if it was a beer). So I was very excited to find a place on vacation that does an excellent version of the style.

Coin used as Leeds bus fare was 2,000‑year‑old currency The coin was handed down to Peter Edwards from his grandfather in the 1950s.

Democrats should be filing articles of impeachment every month for the rest of the life of this administration. It's not like there's not enough impeachable acts to choose from.

A finger pointing towards a large archaeological excavation block. Several buckets, shovels, sandbags scattered around.

Being an archaeologist means when you are on vacation and you stumble on an excavation you obsessively examine their floor, walls, and backfill maintenance. 🏺

In my goddamn name?

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

The stadium does look like an airport hanger, so I guess that tracks as well.

Hundreds pack Pacific High School for data center meeting—only for it to be canceled minutes in Tension escalated at Pacific High School as a meeting on a massive Franklin County data center was abruptly canceled at the developer’s request.

This is where I grew up. It is both a deeply conservative and deeply apathetic electorate. To see this level of engagement in fighting a really gross datacenter project is sort of inspiring.

Hegseth continues to be my pick for 'member of this administration most likely to go to prison'. He's spectacularly dumb & he doesn't have the same get out of jail wealth a lot of the others have.

Alamo acquires battle-used cannon that spent decades as a birdbath A cannon used during the 1836 Battle of the Alamo, later repurposed as a birdbath on a San Antonio ranch, has been acquired by the Alamo and is now undergoing restoration.

The conservationist who gets this cannon has their work cut out for them.

"descendants had taken it, turned it muzzle down, and filled the muzzle up with concrete, and then put a bird bath on top of it,”

The best way I've come up with to describe him to people outside Texas is as "as bigoted and fascist as the other guys, just boring about it".

Jason is, admittedly, very on brand.

I think the header on the actual story would have been better than citing an almost certainly false claim of billions to the local economy.

Military Historians (also archaeologists), I'm looking for good sources on the Mexican Army for the period before the Mexican American War. So far all I'm got is Depalo’s “Mexican National Army, 1822-1852”.

Well now I can't unsee it.
