This is really nice. I'm building up my ability to hand write using this technique. It's slow and painful and frustrating, but I feel like having these kinds of finite goals are so useful.
So no outrage? Alas, why even bother...
@flintdibble.bsky.social has done a great job defining his take on pseudoarchaeology (and I like and respect Flint for what he's doing), but I think it would be a mistake to assume that -- as a discipline -- we can or should respond in the same way. These issues are complicated.
As a pseudoarchaeologist and an academic archaeologist, I think some of the reluctance to respond to GH and others like him is that it's not entirely clear how we should respond. After all, archaeological and pseudoarchaeology are deeply entangled and as much as we like stabbing ourselves...
I'm trying it out on an article for now and contemplating it for my next book. It seems like it might be useful. I suspect there are ethical implications that I haven't considered. I'm sure the Luddite community will attack me for even trying it.
I'm convinced that Australia has a T20 guy named Turd Furgeson. I also know that's not his name, but I can't remember his name and have decided -- for comedic reasons -- not to look it up or learn it. (It's similar to my "if Australia only had the stoinis to play positive cricket" joke).
I've always thought that Powell's "A Night in Tunisia" offered a view of where Powell was headed if he had lived into the 1970s or 1980s. youtu.be/DzHo_LxaeIs?...

Sure, that sounds cool.
I wish it weren't so long. It's another big book from an old dude that I know I should read (especially as I teach Greek History next semester), but it will be hard to get the energy and motivation to do so.
I know next to nothing about this album, but it is very Rudy Van Gelder. Almost arrestingly so.
