BRAIN: have you ever noticed that Huey Dewey and Louie all rhyme but nearly every syllable is spelled differently
Originally it meant something so ridiculous it was almost impossible to imagine. The bit about the gate seems to have been invented sometime after the 9th century to soften the metaphor, and probably to encourage rich people to give away their wealth (to the church) instead of alienating them
Sorry if you know this already, but there was never any "eye of the needle" gate. "Camel through the eye of a needle" is a metaphor for "ridiculously impossible thing" not a metaphor for "easy as long as you temporarily remove the goods"

A story in three acts:
1. Go to make pasta w/broccolini realize it's started to bloom
2. Never seen them flower, so add water to a vase and let them bloom
3. Come home to the place smelling like broccoli farts, so into the trash they went! 🤣

But also saying therefore that Native Americans are immigrants is stretching the definition of immigrant beyond usefulness, even more than when we don't except slaves from the definition of immigrant
That said, there were also complex cultures and civilizations and continent-spanning trade networks for thousands of years before Columbus, so I have little doubt that there was plenty of internal migration between settled areas.
So the inhabitants of Alaska from 20,000-40,000 years ago appear to be the ancestors of the people of the Americas at the time of European contact. Expansion throughout the Americas mostly happened in one wave starting about 13,000 years ago, with maybe a few smaller initial waves before
But the generally accepted timeline is that people expanded out of Alaska somewhere around 12,000-14,000 years ago. There may have been some migration up to 24,000 years ago, but that evidence also appears to be considered spotty by experts, which I am not en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peoplin...
IANAA, but there is some recent, highly disputed evidence that there may have been humans in California as long as 130,000 years ago, which would be before Homo sapiens left Africa. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerutti...

A digital illustration of a red T-rex type theropod dinosaur standing on a bare volcanic plain cracked with lava and an erupting volcano on the distance. The Dino is looking back over its shoulder to see a number of fiery rocks falling out of the orange sky. The Dino is covered in yellow stripes some of which seem to spell out the words ‘Maybe it will happen today’.
Some of us do this and haven't even covered up ANY murders
new quinnipiac poll on ai suggests bluesky users are not the ones living in a bubble over this shit. nobody trusts it, nobody’s excited about it (6 percent say they’re “very excited” about it- more believe in mermaids). 21-point majority thinks it does more harm than good poll.qu.edu/poll-release...
it's framed the way phones killed bar trivia or ebay killed thrifting but it's worse because there is no guarantee the chatbox gives correct info. like if the guy who ruins bar trivia calls his uncle who is also just guessing.
