I thought I knew the story of the "lost world" off the east coast of Britain, inhabited by Mesolithic people until rising sea waters engulfed it around 8,000 years ago...

But I didn't know about the *tsunami*.

Holy hell.

What follows is my imperfect grasp of things. Imperfect because I'm just an enthusiast who likes science - and also imperfect because, excitingly, *the work is happening right now*, in one of the greatest prehistoric archaeological investigations in history.

One September night in 1931, the British vessel Colinda hauled up its nets 25 miles off the Norfolk coast - and found something beautiful & deadly.

Embedded in a lump of peat was this 8.5 inch prehistoric harpoon, carved from bone or antler...

Countdown to #FairDistricts - 22 DAYS!
Waiting for @ArizonaIRC business meeting to begin. This evening is a public hearing on the draft maps in Avondale and Pine Top. More details here: irc.az.gov/public-meeting…
Oh wait - here they are -- what did we miss? On Item agenda #5! WTF? is this #Transparency?
Geneal mapping update - 201 published plans. Q: how many have the @ArizonaIRC actually considered? not more than a handful. Not a great way to generate public trust.

I am so offended by them patting themselves on the back for these "metrics".

1/Last Nov we filed #FOIA lawsuit for @JMadisonProject & @NoahShachtman against @Interior to learn who tweeted this unprofessional Public Affairs msg in response to @TimFullerton. No federal agency should act this way. Today, we settled case & learned @BenGoldey was responsible.
2/@BenGoldey was @USInteriorPress from May '20 to near end of Trump Administration. I have been in DC for 30 yrs & was truly disturbed by unprofessionalism he openly demonstrated as public servant. I don't know if it was his young age or environment.

3/No shock that @BenGoldey went to work for @RepBoebert, which says lot abt him (none good). Apparently even she was too extreme for him. He quit aft ten days due to Jan 6th insurrection attempt by Trump supporters & presumably her connection/comments.

The Normalization of Deceit:

Below, the author of this article both lies about Rifaat and bases his interpretation of #Libya reality on these lies.

This is why output quality among commentators loyal to regimes of #Turkey+#Qatar remains low.

Will @OrientXXI correct this?
Below is the article.

On another note, I have a measure I live by when assessing campaigns and behavior:

If you have to lie to your audience to advance your cause, your cause is rotten and not in the interest of your audience.

Nadia Rifaat-wife of Fayez Serraj- is not "a close relative" of Gaddafi's first wife. Nor a relative at all in any shape or form. Whatever your politics:

is it acceptable to lie about his wife or any woman? No
Is it accetable to lie about Serraj or any man? No

(1) THREAD: As I review the Govt's TRO/PI Motion against #Bolton in its civil lawsuit, I will share my thoughts. I have represented countless govt officials in prepub review matters & litigated more cases than anyone. I was also recognized by a Federal Judge as an expert.
(2) Quick analysis: this is unprecedented, meaningless Govt end-run attempt of SCOTUS Pentagon Papers decision to block publication of a book that has countless copies already in public domain. No way media outlets will be blocked from publishing further excerpts.
3) I can think of only one prior successful injunction. In 1979, in US v. Progressive, govt initially blocked art detailing how to build hydrogen bomb. In granting injunction, Judge basically said 1st Amendment of no use if everyone dead.

Turned out, info was already available.
