IKEA kitchen: looks nice. Very inexpensive.

Spent the last few months organising a refurb of my eldest's first home. Almost complete!

Let God get this straight.

- In 2019 the Trump admin created a press release for Epstein’s death the day before he died.
- He allegedly died the next day.
- In 2026 the Trump admin released this info from the Epstein files.

Could it be any more obvious?

A friend of mine went on a history ramble up in the South Downs recently. The weird thing was that everything he was told was correct as was believed in the 1970's, but that everything was also wrong (as it is thought now following investigation). Strange how long new stuff takes to filter down.

A stunning indictment of both LLMs and archaeology's efforts at public outreach 😬🏺

(but I don't know what "group chats" are)

Most MPs are honest, hard-working and clean as anything. Dragging Parliament through the dirt hurts everyone, especially the weakest in our society. Next time you wonder why governing has got harder, this type of a debacle is one reason.

Cool. If you ever want to challenge them (to try to destroy unorthodox interpretations), let me know?

life imprisonment?

Do you cover Stonehenge in the series or is it more about the time period?

You have a marvelous bookshop. Not sure there's anywhere else like it.

Nice word use. Must have taken a while to work out how to say it.

I did too. It's an enigma.

July's best: that way you can be sure you have all account income available (I've tried April: it doesn't work for me)

Back in 2016, I lay awake thinking “Oh my god, what have they done?”

I knew, with certainty, that this was a disaster, for climate crisis action, for freedom, for women, for non-white anybody. A mean, thuggish, dank, husk of a man, who showed us what he was like, was handed incredible power. 1/2

This feels really, really ominous for the prospect of free and fair elections in US

Been blindingly obvious since Nov 2024 that Trump will go this way.

Does American democracy have any defences left?

Haven't been to an archaeology lecture in nearly a decade (last one was when @nwisser.bsky.social visited and @megalithic.bsky.social came with us). If anyone else is going, see you there!

True. A claim for a refund?

As with probably everybody else with a business outside the US, have been forced to look at comparing operating systems. For everyday tasks, there doesn't seem to be a great deal of difference, but the big surprise was that the Linux installation was a lot easier (at least on my systems).

Seems so! Only solved the mystery by reading the comments and then going to her wikipedia page to see if it was real:

thousands! that must be some high end kit.

@clonehenge.bsky.social: might be a view you'll ever see again!

I had no idea who this person was (over in the UK, we know what Noem looks like now, but you probably need to have followed her change of appearance to recognise who this is now).

Has Liz Truss defected yet? (struggling to keep up)

Trump did the meme.

Advantage China: Trump’s tantrums push US allies closer to Beijing In the search for stability, some western nations are turning to a country that many in Washington see as an existential threat

<<An editorial in the Chinese newspaper the Global Times made Beijing’s pitch clear: headlined "Europe should seriously consider building a China-EU community with a shared future”>>

Is he a real person? (how do we know?)

Board of Peace - Season 1

From initial trial runs, it's remarkably easy to run a dual system (one entirely independent of US software and keeping others as they are) just in case things go south. Once one dual is up and running to your liking, you can quickly roll out replacements if it becomes necessary.

Remember that the UK has far, far weaker protections against state power than did the US. And the latter folded up like a pack of cards. The US is a warning from the British future.
