Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

One more post #PhD post and then I will shut up - I promise 😅🙈

The day before I got accepted to Kiel University I was at a conference in Borger, the Netherlands and I bought this nice bottle of wine.
I kept it (and moved with it) 3 times to drink once I finished so here I am!! Cheers to all!! ✨️🍷

After the conference is before submission deadline of an article I promised to have done in mid-October 🤭
Also I am one of the editors so shame on me!!

But I hope I will finish it before @tag2025york.bsky.social so I can just enjoy my time back after an almost 10 year absence!

Ich war so dumm zu denken, dass er sie günstiger machen will!! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
Was Streek da tut ist brandgefährlich!!
Das ist übrigens Eugenik.

Wenn du einmal beginnst zu selektieren, wem du hilfst und wem nicht, dann gehst du einen Weg, der nicht aufzuhalten ist.

Streeck ist Mediziner und weiß das natürlich. Das macht es so perfide. Vor allem, weil er zwei rhetorische Tricks verwendet:
Hendrik Streeck fragt: Sind teure Medikamente für Senioren wirklich nötig?

Without having read the book myself I would like to know how he got to the conclusion that the symbols show dualistic genders. If someone has actually read it maybe they can enlighten me??

Also the ego of claiming that it is valid for "any culture in the world" (see added picture 3).

Bit niche, but does anyone know of good publications or sources of information on historic aerial photography in India, for archaeological purposes? Presumably Archaeology Survey of India did a lot? cc @martynjb.bsky.social
