So much is changing in Paleoanthropology these last few years (some good, some bad changes), but it seems to get harder and harder to do our research and publish. This is a gut-punch for our field. 💔😭

This is the #Lesotho that the American president could only be so privileged to know. But, alas, he is not curious enough about the world.

People who have heard of #Lesotho are well informed & those who have visited among the world’s most fortunate. The mountain kingdom is naturally spectacular & culturally rich. That the immoral goons running our government know nothing of it yet demean it anyway is on brand.

What a sophisticated formula for these tariffs. Divide what we import from a country by what they import from us, so higher tariffs for poorer countries that can’t import much. Lesotho has the world’s highest: 50%. No difference to us, could crush them 🤬 nbcnews.com/business/econo…
