If you’ve been holding out, now’s the time to join Mastodon (or Bluesky if you’ve got a code… although that’s currently struggling) You don’t need to understand/care about the server, just choose one: mastodon.social mastodon.world mas.to

If he could, Newt Gingrich would force every American to divorce his wife while she lay in a hospital bed recovering from cancer surgery.

It’s never acceptable for a company with the resources and business stage of Microsoft, Spotify, Valve, etc. to use Electron or web tech to avoid writing native apps. They have the cash, they have the resource, but they choose to spend your hardware, your energy on their app.

Perhaps the most misleading UFO headline of all time. The quote "truly anomalous" is from the sentence "[the video] shows some interesting things that everyone thought were truly anomalous to start with" He then explain it was just a misidentified plane, not anomalous at all.

A+E Networks' History Channel offers more content denigrating Native American cultural achievements by ascribing them to space aliens, white people, or Bible giants than any other television network.

@BachirSoHumble Hi, Assyriologist here. I wrote my masters thesis on Ishtar…which is pronounced “ish-tar”, not Easter. She has nothing to do with Easter 😊 There’s also zero evidence for the Easter egg thing, too!

3D artists should upload millions of models with non-manifold geometry to sketchfab and label them with common tags. Here's a beautiful dog 🐶

The article is the same old argument: UFOs are anomalously transmundane craft because "military pilots" are especially credible observers. And yet, we have seen just this month that military pilots can and do misidentify things like balloons. The argument doesn't hold.

Is @YouTube's "block ad" feature just not working at all anymore? It seems like it's always been iffy, but I used to be able to count on not seeing a blocked ad for a least a few days. But I've trying to block the same three ads several times a day for the last 5 or 6 days.

Before I get criticized over the balloons, I'll also point out what I've been saying for decades: No one thing explains all UFOs because the "phenomenon" is an artificial construct papering over many different causes, from balloons to weather to hoaxes and more.

So let me get this straight, the upstanding scholars of the British Museum will not repatriate antiquities, but they will allow one of their curators to appear on Ancient Aliens. Got it.

Young people died suddenly before Covid. They always have. Heart attacks have always been a leading cause of death in young people. Gathering modern cases while ignoring old cases is deeply misleading.

I'm just going note how much vetting I have had to go through and documentation I have to provide for a major news organization to interview me about a tweet I made, while the NY Times will report that space aliens landed in New Mexico without asking for a shred of proof.

Colonial accounts from hundreds of years ago are biased. They do not represent eyewitness testimony of Indigenous cultures, but rather an outside perspective on them by those who looked down on Indigenous cultures and peoples
