They moved a historic house in downtown Erie today from one street to another, and the timelapse from Erie News is so cool. Despite rain, it took about seven hours.

slightly obsessed about the end of this lady's effigy tomb with the voluminous folds of her dress and petite heeled shoes
The side of an woman's effigy tomb showing the bottom of her dress and her feet (she lays on her back). The dress is depicted as many wiggled folds of fabric, and we can see the soles of her small shoes.

Carved in Stone is HERE!!! @archaeonado.bsky.social called it “the best book on the Picts ever written,” so you should definitely check it out over at www.stoutstoat.co.uk/carvedinstone

was just reminded of an old great thread on Doomworld: the Doom level progress diagram. it was created to address the age old question about when a map should be considered linear or non-linear www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/...
level progress diagrams of all of the maps from The Ultimate Doom - check the thread linked more more details

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Something beautiful for the weekend!

An extraordinary Acheulean handaxe knapped around a fossil shell c. 500,000-300,000 years ago!

The shell’s central display has been described as an example of aesthetic intention by the toolmaker.

West Tofts, Norfolk. 📷 MAA Cambridge University

#Archaeology
The photo shows an Acheulean biface handaxe knapped from dark grey flint with a creamy-white cortical layer, shown against a black background. The handaxe is roughly tear-drop shaped with a pointed tip and rounded bottom. There is a fossil shell centrally displayed on one face, identified as the Cretaceous bivalve mollusc Spondylus spinosus. Above the shell to the right is a small rectangular museum label. The toolmaker has knapped the flint in such a way as to retain the shell in a central position. Measurements 79mm x 35mm x 132mm Weight 0.375kg. Collections of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge.

On the left of the image, there is a quote: "It's basically the best book on the Picts ever written. By starting from Scotland's environment and incorporating lessons from archaeology, history and art, this brings the Picts to life more effectively than any other depiction I've yet seen." from Dr Adrián Maldonado, National Museums Scotland.

Not sea glass but fragments of plastic car tail lights, indicators and brake lights, probably washed into storm drains after heavy rain, eventually making their way to the sea. #oceanplastic

Neat thing at this conference: a librarian crocheted a scarf based on how many emails they sent in a year -- posted with their permission.
