I must admit it took me embarrassingly many years to figure out why it was called prehistory haha

Oh cool! That's very interesting!

Stone age for millions of years is a bit boring, though, imo

Was the Bronze Age a historical necessity for the Iron Age to happen? Did we build the smelting equipment of iron out of bronze?

Also when did the Stone Age begin? Surely we've had stone tools since before there were humans. What's special about Stone Age tools?

Is there an IPA symbol for not using too much breath? Portuguese words ending on ʃ are totally different than English ʃ

Words like nšfšf “to drip” have me halfway convinced that (pre-?)Old Egyptian f was more akin to a p. I hesitate to assign it the value of an affricate p͡f as Allen proposed in his Phonology but *naxápxap (vel. sim.) sounds much drippier than *naxáfxaf to me.

Assume 2=pⁿ/qⁿ

Then qⁿ+qⁿ=pⁿ which contradicts Fermat's Theorem for n > 2

It's absolutely wild that quoting the President verbatim is apparently a felony

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 1d

PERRY COUNTY, TN — a man arrested and faces felony “threatening mass violence in a school” for posting an image of Trump with his own words in a facebook group after Charlie Kirk’s murder.

His son calls it “an egregious violation of his 1A rights”

I do hope these stops will go into history under his name

Slate @slate.com · 13h

These accounts make a mockery of Kavanaugh’s insistence that these stops are brief and painless for those who have a right to live in this country but look a certain way to ICE agents.

There’s a New Lawsuit Against “Kavanaugh Stops.” It’s Absolutely Devastating.

These detentions, far from the “brief” inconvenience the justice described, are often lengthy, violent, and dangerous.

Trump, 79, has "cardiac age" of 65-year-old, doctor says

Donald Trump was found to be in "exceptional health" in a medical evaluation, the U.S. president's doctor said in a memo released by the White House on Friday, with his "cardiac age" 14 years younger than in "chronological age."

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

anyway, this person not only posted obvious AI garbage, but then locked the comment section when people pointed it out. So I highly recommend blocking them

"holding the mic while getting handcuffed"

Hmmmm I wonder if this guy noticed she has 3 arms

Did you even read my post obviously making fun of it?

🇵🇸Tim Henke (tɪm 'ɦɛŋ.kə) @timhenke.bsky.social · 10h

holding the mic while getting handcuffed is funny, but I think the funniest is cutting the camera immediately after getting told to keep recording.
