@writethewrongs2 @elonmusk No damage at all. The environment is self-healing the exact way it was created, not the way lesbians with degrees think.

@DesireeAmerica4 I lived in Dekalb 20 years ago. It sucked and was already violent. They couldn't put enough guns on it for me. It has become a horrible, violent hood-law jungle. They need 1000 more of these.

First it was Black Mirror, now it’s just Monday in Atlanta. A company called Undaunted raised nearly $1M this February to flood Atlanta with these "pack" patrols. ​They are called private security "packs" and now patrol ATL streets. These autonomous dogs are controlled by remote pilots, equipped with thermal vision, and carry sirens loud enough to stop you in your tracks. ​The policy shift happened quietly: property managers are replacing human guards with these AI-synced bots at half the cost. In one DeKalb complex, they’ve already cleared out crime and doubled occupancy. ​ ​Safety or Scifi Nightmare?

BREAKING: U.S. military forces are attempting to board Russia's shadow fleet tanker Marinera (formerly Bella 1) in the Atlantic The New York Times says the tanker was previously named Bella 1 and sailed under the Panamanian flag. After leaving Venezuela and coming under pursuit by the U.S. Navy, the vessel changed its flag to Russian and is now officially registered as Marinera in Russia. In response, Russia reportedly dispatched a submarine to protect the tanker, according to the Wall Street Journal. The tanker is linked to Russia’s shadow fleet, which transports sanctioned Iranian oil.

Oil. Oil from US company properties in Venezuela taken by the Maduro regime. Oil that’s being blackmarketed to Russia. Oil on a ship that has an international judgment against it. A ghost ship flying false flags (a pirate ship) and sending out false GPS signals. Aside from that, nothing much.

@Jeff_Barbarian @archeohistories I always wonder why people describe older things as haunting. The sun at noon in 1717 was the same as noon today. Well, except for the super giant snow storm in the colonies that year.

@archeohistories Haunting? LOL Get a grip. It's just a photo of a person. There are trillions of them. You should consider taking a break from the Internet for a while to calm down.

The first ever photograph of a woman taken in 1839, of Dorothy Catherine Draper. Her daguerreotype portrait is the only surviving contemporary photograph of someone wearing the 1830s poke bonnet, a pre-Victorian hat... This haunting image of Dorothy Catherine Draper is more than just a portrait—it is a landmark in photographic history. Taken in 1839 by her brother, John William Draper, a scientist and pioneer of early photography, it represents one of the very first successful uses of the daguerreotype process in America. The technique required subjects to sit motionless for extended periods under bright sunlight, as exposure times often stretched to several minutes. Draper’s calm, steady expression is partly a necessity of the process, but it also gives the image an almost timeless quality. Her poke bonnet, a fashion staple of the 1830s, frames her face in a style that had already begun to fade as the Victorian era took hold. This makes the portrait not just the earliest photograph of a woman, but also a rare visual time capsule of clothing and culture on the brink of change. Surviving nearly two centuries, Dorothy Draper’s likeness is a bridge between eras—a reminder of the fragile beginnings of photography and its power to preserve both people and fashion long after their time has passed. © Historical Photos #archaeohistories

@nicksortor This is what should have been happening from the beginning. Arrest these fucking people and also shooting the tires didn't do shit. Not at all saying shoot her but just pointing something out. I just assume the driver is female and wasn't shot.

@argosaki So what does this mean for those of us who grew on cow's milk who did just fine in school and hardly ever were sick? I don't buy it at all.

BREASTMILK She thought she was studying milk. What she uncovered was a conversation. In 2008, evolutionary anthropologist Katie Hinde was working in a primate research lab in California, analyzing breast milk from rhesus macaque mothers. She had hundreds of samples and thousands of data points. Everything looked ordinary—until one pattern refused to go away. Mothers raising sons produced milk richer in fat and protein. Mothers raising daughters produced a larger volume with different nutrient balances. It was consistent. Repeatable. And deeply uncomfortable for the scientific consensus. Colleagues suggested error. Noise. Statistical coincidence. But Katie trusted the data. And the data pointed to a radical idea. Milk is not just nutrition. It is information. For decades, biology treated breast milk as simple fuel. Calories in. Growth out. But if milk were only calories, why would it change depending on the sex of the baby? Katie kept digging. Across more than 250 mothers and over 700 sampling events, the story grew more complex. Younger, first-time mothers produced milk with fewer calories but significantly higher levels of cortisol—the stress hormone. The babies who drank it grew faster. They were also more alert, more cautious, more anxious. Milk wasn’t just building bodies. It was shaping behavior. Then came the discovery that changed everything. When a baby nurses, microscopic amounts of saliva flow back into the breast. That saliva carries biological signals about the infant’s immune system. If the baby is getting sick, the mother’s body detects it. Within hours, the milk changes. White blood cells surge. Macrophages multiply. Targeted antibodies appear. When the baby recovers, the milk returns to baseline. This was not coincidence. It was call and response. A biological dialogue refined over millions of years. Invisible—until someone thought to listen. As Katie reviewed existing research, she noticed something unsettling. There were twice as many scientific studies on erectile dysfunction as on breast milk composition. The first food every human consumes. The substance that shaped our species. Largely ignored. So she did something bold. She launched a blog with a deliberately provocative name: Mammals Suck Milk. It exploded. Over a million readers in its first year. Parents. Doctors. Scientists. People asking questions research had skipped. The discoveries kept coming. Milk changes by time of day. Foremilk differs from hindmilk. Human milk contains over 200 oligosaccharides babies can’t digest—because they exist to feed beneficial gut bacteria. Every mother’s milk is biologically unique. In 2017, Katie brought this work to a TED stage. In 2020, it reached a global audience through Netflix’s Babies. Today, at Arizona State University’s Comparative Lactation Lab, she continues reshaping how medicine understands infant development, neonatal care, formula design, and public health. The implications are staggering. Milk has been evolving for more than 200 million years—longer than dinosaurs walked the Earth. What we once dismissed as simple nourishment is one of the most sophisticated communication systems biology has ever produced. Katie Hinde didn’t just study milk. She revealed that nourishment is intelligence. A living, responsive system shaping who we become before we ever speak. All because one scientist refused to accept that half the story was “measurement error.” Sometimes the biggest revolutions begin by listening to what everyone else ignores.

In the early 1900s, photographs of women together often reveal a kind of intimacy that seems striking through a modern lens. Two women leaning close behind the bushes, sharing what looks like a private, tender moment, would not have raised many eyebrows in their time. This was an era when female friendships were celebrated, nurtured, and encouraged as essential parts of a woman’s life. Before the sweeping social changes of the mid-twentieth century, it was not unusual for women to live together, write long emotional letters, or hold hands in public, all without fear of judgment. Such connections were often referred to as “romantic friendships,” and though they could at times carry deeper feelings, society largely framed them as wholesome companionship. In the United States and Europe, these bonds existed within a culture that limited women’s public roles but placed great value on loyalty and virtue. The home and private life were considered women’s domains, and within that sphere, emotional ties between female friends could flourish. Boarding schools, colleges, and even workplaces often provided the backdrop for these relationships to grow, with many leaving behind rich records in diaries and correspondence. In Memphis and other parts of the American South, the practice of “chumming” described the same spirit of affection—sharing secrets, embracing freely, and supporting one another during the challenges of youth and early adulthood. Photographs like this one, with two women appearing to confide in one another away from the crowd, capture more than friendship—they highlight a world in which women found strength and comfort in each other’s presence. Whether it was laughter in a garden, whispered dreams, or gentle gestures of closeness, these bonds formed an emotional safety net in a society where independence was limited. Their story endures in these quiet, candid moments. © History Pictures #archaeohistories
