Archeologists in Wisconsin found an ancient canoe that is over 5,000 years old!! The discovery was in a canoe “parking lot” along a popular waterway and trail system.

also cute festive garnishes like mint and cranberries. make butterfly pea ice so drinks turn blue over time. one time I discovered that frozen peas sometimes travel up and down inside carbonated beverages, creating Delight
I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much).

If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking:
-fancy ginger beer
-coconut water
-premium juices like lychee and guava
-apple cider with cinnamon
-Italian sodas
-sparkling water

Lots of options!

"adversarial poetry" technology is so fucking stupid now. hacking into the mainframe like DnD bard
Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

Excellent thread on a fascinating aspect of saints' cults in the Middle Ages. A combination of expectation, wishful thinking & opportunism drove minor religious centres to connect themselves to more famous figures, which elevated their prestige.

history of higher ed thing that sticks out to me, along with what happened at Indiana recently
The New School is now a place where students cannot major in History, Anthropology, Sociology, Global Policy & International Affairs, Global Studies, Urban Studies, or Environmental Studies. And more pauses, closures, and mergers coming down the pike this week. The future is uncertain.

habit. Far from being natural, they claimed that menstruation might be an acquired habit. Some even claimed that it was a product of civilization, unknown to humans in their natural state. I show that this and other examples of *periodicity* in the body reveal the political stakes of habit 4/6
