@archeohistories Vikings were notorious thieves and slavery was how they functioned. I can never romanticize the Vikings. I don't know how people do it.

Archaeo - Histories@archeohistories·
Genetic studies reveal a haunting truth: when Vikings settled Iceland, nearly half the female ancestry was Irish. That’s not poetic, it’s the legacy of slavery. Let’s talk about something that rarely makes it into the Viking fanfare: the women who were taken. When we picture Vikings, we think longships, raids, and rugged warriors. But behind that image is a brutal reality, especially for Ireland. From the late 8th century onward, Norse raiders repeatedly struck Irish coasts, not just for treasure, but for people. And the most “valuable” captives? Women. These women were taken as thralls, the Norse word for slaves. Some were sold, others kept. Many were transported across the sea, eventually ending up in places like Iceland, which was colonized by Norse settlers in the late 9th century. But here’s the twist: modern DNA studies show that while Iceland’s male ancestry is overwhelmingly Norse, the female ancestry is about 50% Gaelic, mostly Irish and Scottish. That means the women who helped build Iceland’s population weren’t Norse wives, they were captives. Enslaved. Displaced. And yet, they became mothers, workers, cultural carriers. Their mitochondrial DNA, passed from mother to child, still echoes through Iceland’s population today. It’s a sobering reminder that colonization isn’t just about conquest. It’s about who gets taken, who gets silenced, and who gets woven into the story without ever being named. The sagas may glorify Norse heroes, but the genetic record tells a quieter truth: Irish women helped build Iceland, not by choice, but by survival. So next time someone romanticizes the Viking age, remember the women whose strength shaped a nation, without ever being asked. #archaeohistories

NEW: FedEx driver who is accused of abducting and strangling a seven-year-old girl, puts his face in his hand as a photo is displayed of him driving her to her death. 7-year-old Athena Strand was seen standing behind Tanner Horner in his FedEx truck. Athena was allegedly snatched by Horner when he was delivering a Barbie doll to her home in Paradise, Texas. Horner initially claimed that he accidentally hit the girl with the truck before "panicking" and pulling her into the vehicle. He said he then strangled her in the vehicle and dumped the body 7 miles from the home. The photo, however, shows that Athena was alert in the truck and did not appear to have been struck by the truck. Wise County District Attorney James Stainton says the jury will see footage on the day of the killing, depicting the moment Athena was strangled to death. "Somebody covered up the camera because they don't want you to see. Guess what? Audio is still running, and you're going to hear it. You're going to hear what a 250-pound man can do to a 67-pound child," he said. "And when I say it's horrible, I mean it. I've been doing this for 25 years, and I promise you, buckle up." Horner qualifies for the death penalty.

“Islam can awaken Christians. Muslims pray five times a day, God holds a fundamental place in their existence. We are only asked to attend Mass on Sundays, but do we do it? If we do not awaken spiritually, their numbers growing, they will impose their law and their culture.” Robert Cardinal Sarah

The #Phillies have lost 2 of their first 3 in opening series after 8-3 loss to #Rangers Sunday. First boos of the season after #BryceHarper strikes out with bases loaded, no outs in 6th inning. Harper one broken bat hit in his first 3 games. Team struggles to score without Home Runs.

“I hang out with losers because it makes be feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success.” One of the most insightful - and honest - things Trump has said as President.

@LonelyWarrior26 @adamcarolla When you say “no regard for the will of the people” who’s “will” are you speaking of? The majority of the USA that voted for him? The majority that support the actions against Iran?

@adamcarolla Just because it was terrible to fill in skate parks like that doesn't mean that it's ok to look past the fact that our president is acting like a dictator, with no regard for the will of the people. No one in their right mind wanted to start a war with Iran.

The “Peace President” and founder and chair, without term limits, of the Board of Peace denies killing Iranian children, even though tragically we did. We have such a great military, filled with the greatest among us. This war should not be happening. It’s unfair to everyone.

President Trump is asked who bombed a girls elementary school in Iran. Trump: "Based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran." Reporter: "Is that true Mr. Hegseth?" Hegseth: "We’re investigating." Trump: "It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions."

James Carville EXPLODING on Trump is a must watch today. His point is this. Millions of Americans aren’t “afflicted” with Trump Derangement syndrome. They are blessed with it: “Look, you fat f*ck Trump — if you listen to this, you listen good! I got Trump Derangement Syndrome. I hate the motherf*cker! And you know what? I don't want to get rid of it. I don't want to get better! I want to get WORSE! I want to hate him MORE!" "I pray to God in heaven: God, reign the righteous reign of Trump Derangement Syndrome on me. Pray for me, Lord. I'm your vessel on this earth." "Pray for the people that listen to this. We want MORE! We want to HATE the son of a b*tch so much that we can't see straight!"
