Next book I'm listening to. So interesting! Covers so many words--their first use and how their use evolved. Pretty quick at 8.5 hours and just under 300 pages.

Hint: The 'C word' really wasn't a bad word. Let's bring back the positive meaning.

I use Libby for free books from my library but here's Amazon. Goodreads gives it a 3.85, too.

@bookstodon Really enjoying learning about the history of pockets. Fascinating intersection of fashion and gender norms. I'm listening but don't miss the terrific illustrations in the book.

Curious to see this photo described... especially his shirt. 🤭

Very similar to the Incredible Hulk's

Sunday I pulled two books from my shelves that I've been meaning to read forever and set them bedside so they'd be "up next." Now somehow there are six books on the pile. They either breed when I'm not looking, or I am confused by the meaning of "up next" and how many eyes I have. @bookstodon

On the packaging.Hidden in the terms and conditions. Who knew it’d be so foretelling, so prescient? “Some assembly required.” Like a chant. Like a mantra. Like the Rosary. A testament to how you’d spend your time and your days. A lifetime with tiny pieces. Trying to fit them in. Trying to figure out where they go...

Yes. Saturday morning commercials of my youth...

Some assembly required

Dreaded words for parents of young children, especially on Christmas Eve!

Now the marketing last words are...

Side effects may include...(usually diarrhea, vomiting, or death)

This message is getting drilled into our middle-aged/elderly brains with all the drug advertising

The Collapse of Complex Societies

Political disintegration is a persistent feature of world history. The Collapse of Complex Societies, though written by an archaeologist, will therefore strike a chord throughout the social sciences. Any explanation of societal collapse carries lessons not just for the study of ancient societies, but for the members of all such societies in both the present and future.

Why is this a choice between 2 things? Why can't we have both?

Why can't I make my own decisions? Live with those that we choose? And do the work we choose?

I think the answer is greed

Executed with his own sword? 1336 Arnold III of Uissigheim died. His gravestone in the church of St. Laurentius in Uissigheim shows that he was beheaded; an inscription, now lost, is said to have stated that this was done with his own sword. @medievodons @histodons

@dailymedievaldeath @medievodons @histodons Seems difficult. Maybe a cover story for crime? Or just tragic?

When the sculptor asked their subject to strike a pose, who knew that the essence of grumpiness would be captured for millennia?*

I've heard the Barbie movie can now be streamed, but Oppenheimer is still on deck. While waiting, if you're in the mood to supplement your knowledge of America's early atomic endeavor, "Now It Can Be Told–The Story of The Manhattan Project" might be just what you need. This vintage book is available here now.

FYI: I saw streaming available but the price is $25. IMAX is going to re-release for a week. Cheaper plus extras at the end.
