Wormtongue-GPT? Grima as a service

gah, "_if_ they think..."

Weird ostracism patterns can occur in a narrow field they think you threaten their tiny pond in which they are a big fish. I've seen the same in several fields of geoscience as I've seen in fallings out among the local cactus and succulent growers, or among student clubs. Primate social heirachies.

Mecha-Trotsky?

More local updates are 10 fatalities, apparently including one shooter, other shooter injured, and 18 in hospital. cellphone footage seems to show a bystander wrestling and removing what looks like a shotgun from one of the shooters.

I'm under the impression that the bear remains in Les Furtins cave are the origin of a lot of this idea of ritual bear cults: Leroi-Gourhan, André. "La Grotte des Furtins.(Commune de Berzé-la-Ville, Saône-et-Loire)." Bulletin de la Société préhistorique de France 44.1/2 (1947): 43-55.

Ah, we'll get them in about 10-12 years, second hand.

It's so hard to make people with a really cool idea that _might_ explain something that as well as evidence _for_ the idea, they also need to examine evidence _against_ the idea.

Heh. If you hop on Google Earth and turn the topography up a little, you can see both the vegetation change of the old rail route, and the slight ground deformation. Is it usual in old railroads over there to use furnace slag as ballast, or is this thermite rail welding slag?

To be fair, sometimes people take so long in the public loo that I don't entirely blame the bear for mauling them after a desperately long wait.
