Great new study on early medieval foodways, specifically a lack of fish in cooking pots! Glad it's not just our #ArchaeoFINS pots that lack 🐟! Implication with the human isotopes is that the Vikings adapted to local cuisine & left their fishy ways behind! doi.org/10.15184/aqy...

That time ‘Harold and Maude’ ran at Edina theater so long that people picketed
Local nonfiction: Minneapolis writer John Gaspard, who was an usher at the Edina venue, wrote a book about the historic run.

It's Judy Blume's birthday. She's 88 today.
Back in 2013, she said, "It’s not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers."

Selon des résultats provisoires, le Parti nationaliste aurait remporté haut la main les élections législatives face à la formation islamiste Jamaat-e-Islami. Le pays met ainsi définitivement un terme au régime autoritaire de l’ex-première ministre, exilée en Inde.

OTD in 1990 the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany was drafted
Despite how massively important NATO's promise was, and how it *totally* was made, the treaty makes NO mention of NATO allowing new eastern members. The USSR didn’t even ask for it to be included.
