- Reposted by Flint DibbleI wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free
- Reposted by Flint DibbleAuschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
- To be fair these sycophants kind of are sicko fans
- Reposted by Flint DibbleNaming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.
- Reposted by Flint DibbleICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
- They hide their faces because they know what they do is shameful and they are too cowardly to face it
- Trump won the FIFA peace prize about six weeks ago. Since then he's bombed, invaded, and threatened several countries. Now he "no longer feels an obligation to think purely of Peace" Make it make sense
- Reposted by Flint DibbleWatching @flintdibble.bsky.social's video about the mess with Rogan put a lot of pseudoarcheaology debunking videos into my recs, and I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of claiming the pyramids weren't tombs when there was a strange period of Europeans eating bits of mummies as "medicine."

- Reposted by Flint Dibble"When it happens, Republicans will object (and you can only imagine the meltdown Trump himself will have on Truth Social). The response Dems give should be simple: *Too bad. We have the power now.* A strong message must be sent to the country and future generations that Trump will not be honored."

- Hi all, I'm SUPER EXCITED to announce that I'll be an expert for an upcoming adventure: SAILING THE SKEPTICAL SEAS from April 18-24th. The journey starts in Malaga, Spain and ends in Nice, France with stops at fab Mediterranean locales such as Valencia, Palma de Mallorca, Menorca, and Corsica.
- This is a unique opportunity as it's my first time as an expert on such a trip for the general public. I'll be giving talks on the real local archaeology (prehistoric megaliths, Carthaginian colonies, Roman cities, and Medieval castles), and discussions of fake archaeology: Atlantis etc
- There's plenty of archaeology, history, and natural beauty to soak up. This unique expedition takes place on the largest, fully-rigged sailing vessel in the world: The Royal Clipper. If you join, you'll have a chance to steer the ship, climb the ratlines, and hang out in the crow's nest.

But honestly, we can't carry on like this... I've read so many 'we're so grateful to have' media reports recently. It's stomach churning. #Archaeology 🏺
- Reposted by Flint DibbleGreat to see these 2 giants, who dunk on the anti-intellectual tirade, on video together. The breakdown of these grifters is needed to stop the poisoning of the fabric of society. Dave and Flint are hopefully halting fence sitters and people who find this trash entertaining or potentially factual.

- In hindsight, the criticism Bill Nye got for this debate was unwarranted In the decade since in the US, belief in creationism has dropped while for the first time ever over half embraced evolution Not saying that's entirely due to Bill Nye. Just saying it's proof the debate wasn't such a mistake
