Has the @bbc actually analysed Gary Lineker’s tweet? Because it is factually accurate. A lot of the tropes used now by Govt: ‘invasion’, ‘menace’ etc, are pretty similar to those used by nationalist parties in 1930s Germany. Why no analysis? Are BBC history presenters muted too?

The truth about Britain’s wildlife crisis is stark: the timid BBC must let David Attenborough tell it loud and clear | Geoffrey Lean theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Only academics could achieve this 🤦

And I’m back.. broke phone, forgot password.. and decide a little break would be healthy

Congratulations to our class of 2023 that graduated from our MSci Archaeology, BSc Archaeology and BSc Archaeology and Anthropology programmes yesterday. We are so proud of your achievements. Congratulations! #UCLanGraduates #graduates #archaeology

A great experience having the wonderful Prof Alice Roberts💙 and Rare Television team filming our Lowther excavations. Even answering such important questions as ‘what’s your favourite gravy’. We’re looking forward to seeing Digging for Britain in the new year #lowthermedeivalcastle

I'll tell you what I think is "bad value" . As of September new uni starters will on average pay about three times more for their degree in repayments, but will be getting less spent on their degree when compared to students this year.

I'm just ever so excited to announce that today is release day! My book is now officially out!🙀💚 THE ATLAS OF EARLY MODERN WILDLIFE catalogues the state of nature in Britain and Ireland between 1519-1772 CE. I've found some astonishing records!! 🐺🦫🦅🦃🐳🐟🐢🐍🦞🦐

Caught up on channel 4’s #MiracleMeat and watched with 12yr old, when asked halfway through why mum and dad weren’t shocked his horrified shout was “who have you eaten!”, brilliant when he finally twigged

Nuclear fission, maglev everywhere, quantum computers and more importantly no more annoying fan noises when processing a big GIS file… in about 20yrs time… probably

As it’s #InternationalDogDay here are some of the dogs I saw today in the excellent Rijksmuseum

*REMINDER* Next week is the deadline for abstracts for 2024's Roman Archaeology Conference in London Thread of RAC sessions seeking speakers (tagging organisers) below! Organised by Roman Society, School of Historical Studies, Birkbeck UCL Institute of Archaeology, Classics@RHUL, & King's Classics

You can now find me Dr James Morris.bsky.social. It feels like early twitter, just posts of people you follow

Mammal Society announces a series of U-turns on mammal conservation. In an effort to win over the general public, CEO, Matt Larsen-Daw announced changes to the way we reverse the steep decline in mammal populations in a way that is fairer to the British people. #NetZero #Satire

I know it's only a tree - and in many ways there are far worse things to worry about- but it just feels rather emblematic of the wider shit show this country is going through; pointless destruction for the sake of pointless destruction :-(

This headline claims the National Trust won’t admit the Director of Restore Trust to its AGM. It isn’t true. Members enter a ballot to attend in person. Not all get a seat. Guaranteeing a place to a member because of their affiliation to a private business would be unfair to all.

Unfortunately missing the start of #AEA2023Tgn but in Barcelona and on my way. Will be presenting UCLan Arch & Anth work on the Windwolves preserve California. It involves Coyotes howling. Will be posting more over on Bsky

Loved watching Prof Alice Roberts💙 #DiggingForBritain last night featuring office mate Dr James Morris and our UCLan Arch & Anth students work at Lowther castle and Gordon Noble's Northern Picts excavations at Mither Tap. So many excellent Northern projects being showcased!

You can still catch UCLan Arch & Anth academic Dr James Morris appearance on this week's BBC Two show Digging for Britain hosted by Prof Alice Roberts💙. 👉ow.ly/ivIc50Qo3ZK #LowtherCastle #Cumbria #archaeology
