A rare but nice treat: Martin Tyler doing the commentary for an American Premier League broadcast

personally i dont think a blt, draft beer and tip should cost $34 even if it is at an airport but here we are in gods good america

Thank you this is much better lol

I need some new bits, the “st Louis sucks,” “America is a barbarian uncivilized country,” and “archaeology is even weirder than you thought, also colonialism” kinda running out of steam even for me

I wish Chicago was closer to STL than 5 hours by train

They probably have one good one and one meh one if Costco memory serves lol

I was 2/2 picking movies this Christmas. My extremely anti woke family loved The Jerk (iykyk) and also The Talented Mr Ripley (improbably, but I guess there’s something for everyone there)

Swallow your pride (?) and shop at Walmart, you wouldn’t believe the selection that economies of scale afford (I too once turned my nose up, but after having to feed 20 archaeologists on a budget for a whole summer I recanted)

American airports bring back smoking lounges challenge. I don’t need to be able to light up anywhere, a designated area is fine like in literally every other country in the world. Just don’t make me go outside and then through security again ffs

Is there an app for this or is it all browser? Cause it doesn’t work great on my phone tbh

Well, this sure hasn’t turned out to be substantially better than Twitter lol

Sorely tempted by the ad free YouTube subscription, accessing it across devices has become increasingly annoying

Working my way through “St. Louis and Empire: 250 Years of Imperial Quest and Urban Crisis” by Henry Berger. Highly recommend g.co/kgs/Af4HzM

(Mostly just following things I want to be seeing every day on Google feeds rather than whatever the algorithm turns up based on my search history)

Recalibrating my media diet, been consuming mostly junk food for far too long

Iran Sacrifices Cultural Heritage, No Budget Allocated While billions are poured into Iran's military infrastructure and regional proxies, there has been no budget allocated for the preservation of historical monuments.

lol cool, nice work Zarghami www.iranintl.com/en/202311267...

have a cold for the first time in… not sure how long. No fun!

Haha folks that was absolutely not that, ffs

Happy Native American Heritage Day from the Newark Earthworks, constructed by the Hopewell Culture between 1-400 CE

Not thrilled with that place rn but also there’s space to think and feel it through so 🤷‍♂️

Nothing like some time off to see “oh, that’s where my mind is going to rest these days”

Lol 26 whoops

New frontiers in family time, me (34) and my brother (24) smoked a joint on the lanai and my dad went “smells like dope!” and that was that lol

In Turkey they call the bird a hindi lol

Once again grilling the Turkey turned excellently. Really the way to go for so many reasons www.bonappetit.com/recipe/exper...

Wanna read how Shawn Graham and I used knowledge graphs and AI to find what *MIGHT BE* a multi-decade crime spree across museums and continents? It's FREE: "Reputation laundering and museum collections: patterns, priorities, provenance, and hidden crime" www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This is one of my favorite parts of the year, right before the holidays when people start to go home and normal time begins to unravel as Holiday Time replaces it

Alright so I was following the anthro/archy feed but it was almost entirely classics. Is there another one going that is less Greco-Roman focused?

Was going through my phone on the plane yesterday and found this, Philly ca. 2019

Can’t wait to see what kind of crazy bullshit is going on with Eric Adams and Erdoğan, that’s gonna be one for the ages
