A book.

Andean archaeology preferably but for educational purposes I would literally take anything so I can learn more

I see the AI chodesnorters replying to profs on here now yelling "AI could do your jobs," and OK sniffleshitz, let's see an AI dig, or come up with an archaeological insight that hasn't been scraped from a Nazi blogger's Atlantis-fueled racist wet dreams. I'm waiting.

your terms are acceptable to me sir. i am rooting against america

The question about keeping one human role and replacing the rest with Muppets in a movie to make it better - i mean the answer is obviously Daniel Craig in the Knives Out movies, right

DOSTOEVSKY: Is it ok to take the law into your hands and kill a class enemy?

EVERYONE: Wow this is such a profound difficult question. This is the greatest book of all time

LUIGI: Is it ok to take the law into your hands and kill a class enemy?

I heard there was a secret ooze that turned four reptiles into dudes, but you don’t really care for turtles do ya

I love that you can see the story through such small details, the rushed packing as he excitedly prepared to come home is shown with the white garments sticking out of the case. The children are thrilled to see this reunion but full of respect and pride, standing at attention and holding his hat

Does anyone have any good reading material on archaeological coprolite (faunal or human) they recommend

No time to waste. Evidence for communal waste management among hunter-gatherer-fishers at Riņņukal... This study discusses waste management by mid-Holocene hunter-gatherer-fisher communities at Riņņukalns, on the Salaca river in Latvia. It combines mic…

Luigi Mangione’s fellow prisoners yelled “Luigi’s conditions suck” and “Free Luigi” from their cells in Pennsylvania during an interview: www.newsnationnow.com/banfield/lui...

What the hell are we even doing? Normalizing & green-lighting another psychotic

I spent my entire morning concerned that my best friend and colleague was upset with me because we both misunderstood each other on if we worked together today and after typing a wordy apology they said “lol what no your good” 💀
