My thoughts on the Scopes Trial Centennial YouTube video by Jonathan Marks

That's the face of John T. Scopes, and I made a 20-minute video about his 1925 trial that is a little bit different from the other Scopes Trial cCentennial videos.

Now THAT's a tribute! Thank you for writing this wonderful piece @adampjohnson.bsky.social, for our dear friend, mentor, colleague @jontheanthroman.bsky.social - in celebration of his upcoming retirement. Beautifully done!❤️ ✍ 🎉 #anthropology #biologicalanthropology #science

The Grey Lady isn't interested in this essay about race. Maybe you are.

As long as we're going to get rid of pennies, how about modifying the dime to say how much it is actually worth, rather than just saying "one dime," which is trivially obvious. The quarter says "quarter dollar" and the nickel says "five cents". The dime doesn't tell you what it's worth!

Will Kendrick Lamar be better than Patrick Mahomes?

I guess I should work out more.

Then the President of the United States came out publicly against sporks, unattractive teachers, and peanut allergies.

If we follow the ancient Roman poet Juvenal, the next six weeks will ripe for civil unrest, since the masses in the US will have neither bread (with grocery prices skyrocketing) nor circuses (Opening Day is not until March 27) to appease and distract them.

So the plan is to watch gas, food, and construction prices skyrocket next week, and the Dems can go, “Nyah nyah, See, I told you so!” And it was just around a century ago that Will Rogers said, “I belong to no organized political party. I’m a Democrat.”

So I guess the model is Russia in the 1990s. The system crashes, the corporate broligarchs fight over the rubble, and whoever doesn’t fall out of a window is the winner.

Charlamagne Wants Dems to Embrace GOP's Model Of Incivility | The Daily Show YouTube video by The Daily Show

Amen to every word!

And with all the horrible national news, you’ve gotta admit that the GOP re-investigating January 6 to find out the truth, but not wanting to subpoena Cassidy Hutchinson because she has texts of GOP lawmakers hitting on her, is hilarious.

I generally don’t dabble in theological questions, but if the Dodgers had made a pact with Satan to win the World Series, what do you think the back end of the deal would look like?

You morons, you can't repeat the Gilded Age. That's not how history works--it only goes in one direction. Now let me take a big sip of coffee and make sure no nihilistic young Italians have built homemade weapons with which to assassinate robber barons.

I'll be thinking of these guys a century ago, when the CEOs put Luigi Mangione on trial.

Philosophical Dead Ends | Los Angeles Review of Books John Dupré reviews Richard Dawkins’s “The Genetic Book of the Dead” and Sara Imari Walker’s “Life as No One Knows It.”

Philosopher John Dupre shits on Richard Dawkins.

My review of an excellent new book.

Yes, their stock has been in the shits all year, and talk is that they are going to try and sell their DNA database to a hedge fund.

No wonder these assholes are going bankrupt.

So I guess nobody is asking for a hand recount anywhere. Weird.

Someone (a lot younger than me) should should probably go back and have a look at Homo-Pan-Gorilla!

me too

Think hard, because if you got this one wrong, you were scored as feebleminded on the Army Alpha IQ test in World War I.

OK, I'm in.

Believe me, I could tell you stories about Duke Energy!
