Imagine how pissed you have to be to engrave a rock


Ok but there was this guy called Ea-nasir who was a total crook and would actually cheat people ought of good copper and sell them shit instead. The amount of correspondences complaining to and about this guy are HILARIOUS.


Are you telling me we know about a specific guy who lived 5000 years ago, by name, because he was a huge asshole


More like 4000 years ago but yes. Ea-nasir and his dodgy business deals.


And we haven’t even touched on the true hilarity of the situation yet. Consider two additional facts:
He wasn’t just into copper trading. There are letters complaining about Ea-nasir’s business practices with respect to everything from kitchenwares to real estate speculation to second-hand clothing. The guy was everywhere.
The majority of the surviving correspondences regarding Ea-nasir were recovered from one particular room in a building that is believed to have been Ea-nasir’s own house.
Like, these are clay tablets. They’re bulky, fragile, and difficult to store. They typically weren’t kept long-term unless they contained financial records or other vital information (which is why we have huge reams of financial data about ancient Babylon in spite of how little we know about the actual culture: most of the surviving tablets are commercial inventories, bills of sale, etc.).
But this guy, this Ea-nasir, he kept all of his angry letters - hundreds of them - and meticulously filed and preserved them in a dedicated room in his house. What kind of guy does that?

Okay, but imagine from the other guy’s point of view. You send angry letters about how Ea-nasir shipped you half a ton of subpar copper, and then 3800 years later—


History: you are without a doubt the worst business man ive ever heard of

        Energy, Fuck You, and Fucking: I'm All In On This Guy
 Selling Energy Drinks
 Filled With Crystal
 Meth And Gasoline
 Out Of His Tree Fort
 Humor, News

 County Sherift's Office
 72-year-old Jasper June, of Boone County, West
 Virginia was arrested on charges of making and
 selling his homemade energy drinks containing
 meth out of his tree fort. (A fucking tree fort, how
 great is this guy)? When police showed up, they
 found June wearing an adult diaper and browsing
 through an Arabic porno magazine. Police tested 25
 bottles of his energy drink, each of which contained
 meth
 Police discovered June's practice after several high
 school girls had to be hospitalized for internal
 bleeding after consuming the drinks
 This is what June had to say about the drinks:
 They're just energy drinks like Rockstar or
 Monster. It's not meth in there. It's just lemonade,
 caffeine, sugar and a couple drops of gasoline. I
 swear to God I didn't put meth in there."
 He then back tracked and went with this version
 Okay, I put just a little meth in there to get them
 addicted and keep customers coming back. I know
 they'll all testify against me so let me make
 something else clear: I pissed in every bottle
 Well if there's one thing we know, it's that these
 energy drinks are gonna work. Nothing will get you
 jacked up like a little meth, gasoline, and human
 urine. Bottom line is when you buy a product, you
 want it to work. And if these little high school bitches
 want to run and be narks after purchasing a quality
 working energy drink for the bargain price of only 20
 bucks, then I have no words. Plus, if you're them
 and you see this guy, selling this drink, and you still
 buy it, that's on you.
 I just love everything about Jasper June and his
 retail business. He read pornos in a foreign
 language while wearing his diaper, and when police
 ask about his product, he is adamant that there is
 no meth in there, only gasoline. And then when
 forced to confess, he throws a big fuck you in there
 and tells everyone these girls drank his piss too
 lcing on the cake
 PS- How perfect is this guy's name and where he's
 from? Jasper June from Boone County, West
 Virginia selling meth out of his tree fort.
Energy drink made with gasoline, meth, lemonade and a little something special

 Possibly the most horrifying thing that has ever happened to me occurred
 today. So I'm in a creative writing class at university right now and we had to
 print out twenty-five copies of our first, one page assignment to distribute to the
 class. I had to print mine at the computer lab as I don't have a , but here are
 the three crucial facts that made this the worst mistake of my life
 1. Sometimes, when you log into Google on Chrome, it activates all of your
 extensions, even ones you've deactivated
 2. In high school, my friends and I got really into Ponity (a words replacing
 chrome extension) and switched the preferences so we could read political
 articles and have congress get into a rousing snow ball fight" and the like.
 3. Ponify reverted to its original My Little Pony lingo when opened on a new
 computer's chrome
 So when I distributed my twenty-five copies of this I noticed the
 word everypony", my seized up and dropped into my stomach, and with my
 imminent death approaching, I began furiously correcting all twenty-five of
 them. My teacher, confusedly, agreed to let me correct them as I was too
 nfuriated and ashamed to say my mistake aloud
 I just realized, however, that the line "as she the binding fall away in her
 was changed to "as she the binding fall away in her hoof".

 And I just had to send this email:
 Hi Cathy,
 I'm worried the typos in my paper will be distracting and was hoping I could
 reprint them. In a very strange twist of events, the computer I printed it from in
 the computer lab had a chrome extension that replaces words in the browser
 with horse related words and I don't think I caught all of them
 Though this resulted in what I'm sure will be a hilarious story to share with my
 friends down the line, for now this is quite literally the most embarrassing thing
 that has happened to me since fifth grade. I would really appreciate it if I could
 redistribute a fixed copy on Monday. I won't edit anything else in the story, but I
 would really appreciate it if could fix this.
 Thank you
 Victoria

 the three crucial facts that made this the worst mistake of my life
 1. Sometimes, when you log into Google on Chrome, it activates all of your
 extensions, even ones you've deactivated
 2. In high school, my friends and I got really into Ponity (a words replacing
 chrome extension) and switched the preferences so we could read political
 articles and have congress get into a rousing snow ball fight" and the like.
 3. Ponify reverted to its original My Little Pony lingo when opened on a new
 computer's chrome
 So when I distributed my twenty-five copies of this I noticed the
 word everypony", my seized up and dropped into my stomach, and with my
 imminent death approaching, I began furiously correcting all twenty-five of
 them. My teacher, confusedly, agreed to let me correct them as I was too
 nfuriated and ashamed to say my mistake aloud
 I just realized, however, that the line "as she the binding fall away in her
 was changed to "as she the binding fall away in her hoof".
 Madeleine had gone to burn a

 literally no one was supposed

 The journal contained snipp
 And I just had to send this email:
 Hi Cathy,
 I'm worried the typos in my paper will be distracting and was hoping I could
 reprint them. In a very strange twist of events, the computer I printed it from in
 the computer lab had a chrome extension that replaces words in the browser
 with horse related words and I don't think I caught all of them
 Though this resulted in what I'm sure will be a hilarious story to share with my
 friends down the line, for now this is quite literally the most embarrassing thing
 that has happened to me since fifth grade. I would really appreciate it if I could
 redistribute a fixed copy on Monday. I won't edit anything else in the story, but I
 would really appreciate it if could fix this.
 Thank you
 Victoria
 And basically I'm ready for death how was your day

An aesthetic that first appears to be pure and basic Heterosexuals Are At It Again, but becomes increasingly uncomfortable until you finally understand: 

these babygrows (onesies) with parental professions on eBay.

An entrepreneurial sort, eBay user “justtheshirt” realized that for some people, the perfect gift for, say, the baby of a beekeeper is a onesie saying “Daddy’s Little Beekeeper.” In fact, the more obscure the profession, the more excited the customer will feel about the representation! So they took a list of All the Professions, and generated a listing for each one. If someone buys a onesie, they can stamp it with whatever the listing said - and make a rather enormous profit, on a £3 onesie, having made exactly one design and used one script. Genius!

The issue is, they didn’t curate the list.  Not a single human appears to have overseen this process. So they have inadvertently created some  uncomfortably themed babywear, like “Daddy’s Little Maid,” “Daddy’s Little Nightwalker,” and “Daddy’s Little Courtesan.” 

The database also contained a massive proportion of obscure Medieval English professions, like “fulker” and “meader” and “whipcord maker.” (The auto-generated listing enthuses something like, “the perfect gift for a whipcord maker - or just for someone who wishes they were one!”) 

There are onesies for babies whose daddies are herbalists, muleteers and sacristans.

I have come full circle in my feelings about this and now I am all in favor of dressing babies in these, as long as the profession is incredibly obscure, and the daddy in question refuses to explain anything.

she should have been rewarded.

Y'all got sources?

yeah so more information about this woman who leaked important information pertaining russia’s involvement in the election: 
Her name is “Reality Leigh Winner” and she was a NSA Contractor. She passed a top secret NSA document to a news source (an article from The Intercept) that contains information about a Russian cyber-attack with one voting machine DAYS before the 2016 presidential election. This is considered the most detailed piece of proof regarding Russia’s interference with the elections to date. 
Here’s how the NSA document described how the Russians did the hacking: 
“As described by the classified NSA report, the Russian plan was simple: pose as an e-voting vendor and trick local government employees into opening Microsoft Word documents invisibly tainted with potent malware that could give hackers full control over the infected computers.
But in order to dupe the local officials, the hackers needed access to an election software vendor’s internal systems to put together a convincing disguise. So on August 24, 2016, the Russian hackers sent spoofed emails purporting to be from Google to employees of an unnamed U.S. election software company, according to the NSA report. Although the document does not directly identify the company in question, it contains references to a product made by VR Systems, a Florida-based vendor of electronic voting services and equipment whose products are used in eight states.
The spear-phishing email contained a link directing the employees to a malicious, faux-Google website that would request their login credentials and then hand them over to the hackers. The NSA identified seven “potential victims” at the company. While malicious emails targeting three of the potential victims were rejected by an email server, at least one of the employee accounts was likely compromised, the agency concluded. The NSA notes in its report that it is “unknown whether the aforementioned spear-phishing deployment successfully compromised all the intended victims, and what potential data from the victim could have been exfiltrated.”


So instead of having Trump and his entire party removed, they gon throw home girl in jail and try to act like none of this happened.


Her name, Reality Winner, is ironic in this context.

Director Lexi Alexander outs herself as Shitty Men In Media List Creator
The list first began circulating last fall not long after the New York Times published its exposé on Harvey Weinstein on October 5, the Shitty Men in Media list spotlighted men in Big Apple circles. Naming names, allegations on the list went from “inappropriate communication” to rape. In a tone of transparency, the list also noted that some of the details it contained were “rumors” and should be taken as such.
The announcement came after revelations that writer Katie Roiphe had been researching the originator of the list for a piece planned for Harper’s March issue. The move was widely criticized with many writers and editors encouraging writers to pull their pieces from Harper’s in order to protest the piece and protect the name of the creator.  

UPDATE: Lexi is not the originator of the piece but is one of many women claiming credit in order to protect the true identity of the originator. 

The ”No, I’M Spartacus” approach? 
That’s a bold and risky move, and I offer all respect to the women involved.

        Ass, Friends, and Mood: vintar
 i used to get self-conscious over the smallest things but
 friends let me tell you that today I had to smuggle a furious
 8ft python onto the bus during the school rush and not a
 singie person noticed. not one. if people don't care enough
 to notice a shopping bag writhing and seething with barely-
 contained reptilian hatred then i promise you that no-one
 will pay any attention to that blemish you're fretting about
 or how you've done your hair
 Question, why are you bringing a 8 ft python into a public
 bus? You know that this reptile can kill anyone inside there?
 buddy she's a snake not a flying death tentacle
 snakes are not evil killers out for blood, and length doesnt
 mean lethality! my biggest guy is 11 ft-ifi have him around my
 neck, both his face and his tail touch the floor- and even his
 species struggles to take down anything bigger than a smal-to-
 medium dog
 the worst damage that my 8fter is capable of is when she
 decides to do an impression of ab
 makes my arm go a bit purpie, and even that's just when i
 humour her dreams of being big and scary and let her squeeze
 her hardest before i unwind her like a bratty garden hose
 ood-
 pressure cuff and
 as long as you're not some sort of magical tumbiring rat, you're
 fine
 Okay, I gotta ask...
 1. Why was she angry?
 2. Where were you taking her on the bus? is there a leash-free
 snake park where you live?
 I need to know.
 1. she's a cranky ass in general, but her mood was absolutely not
 improved by eating a bit of a snake hook, getting stuffed in a sack,
 experiencing an hour of adelaide 's finest public transport, and having
 a vet jam a tube into her stomach
 2. i think all of australia is technically a leash-free snake park tbh
 I am so glad there was follow up on this post explaining why the snake
 was on the bus!!
 bratty garden hose"I'm dying
 All of Australia is a leash-free snake park.
 buddy she's a snake not a flying death tentacle "
 Learning this took place in Australia really makes it all make much more sense.

This is considered the most detailed piece of proof regarding Russia’s interference with the elections to date. 
Here’s how the NSA document described how the Russians did the hacking: 
“As described by the classified NSA report, the Russian plan was simple: pose as an e-voting vendor and trick local government employees into opening Microsoft Word documents invisibly tainted with potent malware that could give hackers full control over the infected computers.
But in order to dupe the local officials, the hackers needed access to an election software vendor’s internal systems to put together a convincing disguise. So on August 24, 2016, the Russian hackers sent spoofed emails purporting to be from Google to employees of an unnamed U.S. election software company, according to the NSA report. Although the document does not directly identify the company in question, it contains references to a product made by VR Systems, a Florida-based vendor of electronic voting services and equipment whose products are used in eight states.
The spear-phishing email contained a link directing the employees to a malicious, faux-Google website that would request their login credentials and then hand them over to the hackers. The NSA identified seven “potential victims” at the company. While malicious emails targeting three of the potential victims were rejected by an email server, at least one of the employee accounts was likely compromised, the agency concluded. The NSA notes in its report that it is “unknown whether the aforementioned spear-phishing deployment successfully compromised all the intended victims, and what potential data from the victim could have been exfiltrated.”


So instead of having Trump and his entire party removed, they gon throw home girl in jail and try to act like none of this happened.


Her name, Reality Winner, is ironic in this context.


Why do millennials keep leaking government secrets? Because they are brave and information matters. 

Seriously, why the HELL is this woman in prison for doing the right thing? 

Because the fuckheads in power want to stay in power.

Researchers have used Easter Island Moai replicas to show how they might have been “walked” to where they are displayed.

What’s really wild is that the native people literally told the Europeans “they walked” when asked how the statues were moved. The Europeans were like “lol these backwards heathens and their fairy tales guess it’s gonna always be a mystery!”


Maori told Europeans that kiore were native rats and no one believed them until DNA tests proved it
And the Iroquois told Europeans that squirels showed them how to tap maple syrup and no one believed them until they caught it on video

Oral history from various First Nations tribes in the Pacific Northwest contained stories about a massive earthquake/tsunami hitting the coast, but no one listened to them until scientists discovered physical evidence of quakes from the Cascadia fault line.

Roopkund Lake AKA “Skeleton Lake” in the Himalayas in India is eerie because it was discovered with hundreds of skeletal remains and for the life of them researchers couldn’t figure out what it was that killed them. For decades the “mystery” went unsolved.
Until they finally payed closer attention to local songs and legend that all essentially said “Yah the Goddess Nanda Devi got mad and sent huge heave stones down to kill them”. That was consistent with huge contusions found all on their neck and shoulders and the weather patterns of the area, which are prone to huge  inevitably deadly goddamn hailstones. https://www.facebook.com/atlasobscura/videos/10154065247212728/
Literally these legends were past down for over a thousand years and it still took researched 50 to “figure out” the “mystery”. 🙄

Adding to this, the Inuit communities in Nunavut KNEW where both the wrecks of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were literally the entire time but Europeans/white people didn’t even bother consulting them about either ship until like…last year. 
“Inuit traditional knowledge was critical to the discovery of both ships, she pointed out, offering the Canadian government a powerful demonstration of what can be achieved when Inuit voices are included in the process.
In contrast, the tragic fate of the 129 men on the Franklin expedition hints at the high cost of marginalising those who best know the area and its history.
“If Inuit had been consulted 200 years ago and asked for their traditional knowledge – this is our backyard – those two wrecks would have been found, lives would have been saved. I’m confident of that,” she said. “But they believed their civilization was superior and that was their undoing.”
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/sep/16/inuit-canada-britain-shipwreck-hms-terror-nunavut
“Oh yeah, I heard a lot of stories about Terror, the ships, but I guess Parks Canada don’t listen to people,” Kogvik said. “They just ignore Inuit stories about the Terror ship.”
Schimnowski said the crew had also heard stories about people on the land seeing the silhouette of a masted ship at sunset.
“The community knew about this for many, many years. It’s hard for people to stop and actually listen … especially people from the South.”

Indigenous Australians have had stories about giant kangaroos and wombats for thousands of years, and European settlers just kinda assumed they were myths. Cut to more recently when evidence of megafauna was discovered, giant versions of Australian animals that died out 41 000 years ago.
Similarly, scientists have been stumped about how native Palm trees got to a valley in the middle of Australia, and it wasn’t until a few years ago that someone did DNA testing and concluded that seeds had been carried there from the north around 30 000 years ago… aaand someone pointed out that Indigenous people have had stories about gods from the north carrying the seeds to a valley in the central desert.

oh man let me tell you about Indigenous Australian myths - the framework they use (with multi-generational checking that’s unique on the planet, meaning there’s no drifting or mutation of the story, seriously they are hardcore about maintaining integrity) means that we literally have multiple first-hand accounts of life and the ecosystem before the end of the last ice age
it’s literally the oldest accurate oral history of the world.  
Now consider this: most people consider the start of recorded history to be with  the Sumerians and the Early Dynastic period of the Egyptians.  So around 3500 BCE, or five and a half thousand years agoThese highly accurate Aboriginal oral histories originate from twenty thousand years ago at least

Ain’t it amazing what white people consider history and what they don’t?


I always said disservice is done to oral traditions and myth when you take them literally. Ancient people were not stupid.

Imagine how pissed you have to be to engrave a rock


Ok but there was this guy called Ea-nasir who was a total crook and would actually cheat people ought of good copper and sell them shit instead. The amount of correspondences complaining to and about this guy are HILARIOUS.


Are you telling me we know about a specific guy who lived 5000 years ago, by name, because he was a huge asshole


More like 4000 years ago but yes. Ea-nasir and his dodgy business deals.


And we haven’t even touched on the true hilarity of the situation yet. Consider two additional facts:
He wasn’t just into copper trading. There are letters complaining about Ea-nasir’s business practices with respect to everything from kitchenwares to real estate speculation to second-hand clothing. The guy was everywhere.
The majority of the surviving correspondences regarding Ea-nasir were recovered from one particular room in a building that is believed to have been Ea-nasir’s own house.
Like, these are clay tablets. They’re bulky, fragile, and difficult to store. They typically weren’t kept long-term unless they contained financial records or other vital information (which is why we have huge reams of financial data about ancient Babylon in spite of how little we know about the actual culture: most of the surviving tablets are commercial inventories, bills of sale, etc.).
But this guy, this Ea-nasir, he kept all of his angry letters - hundreds of them - and meticulously filed and preserved them in a dedicated room in his house. What kind of guy does that?

Okay, but imagine from the other guy’s point of view. You send angry letters about how Ea-nasir shipped you half a ton of subpar copper, and then 3800 years later—


History: you are without a doubt the worst business man ive ever heard of

 Hello Jacob,
 Thank you for reaching out to Lush Cosmetics!
 It is always wonderful to hear from customers - humans and vampires alike!
 I apologize if our use of garlic in the Cosmetic Warrior face mask gives you the wrong
 impression. We use garlic for its deep cleansing nature to help break down dirt and oil on the
 skin, leaving you feeling fresh. I completely understand it's not the ingredient most vampires
 should be reaching for
 We've always been an inclusive company and believe we should celebrate our differences!
 Even though vampires are by nature, dead, that doesn't mean their skin needs to reflect that!
 Perhaps they'd love our Scared Truth face mask which is made with fresh papaya to help get
 r skin glowing and looking well, alive!We even add in honey, and soya yogurt to soften and
 hydrate the skin. Just because you are immortal, doesn't mean you should have skin that
 reflects your actual age! While we may not see eye to eye with your diet, we can definitely help
 keep your skin from sucking (get it?).
 We know that vampires can sometimes get a bad reputation and that's stressful. Why not relax
 with one of our Twilight bath bombs? It is made with vampire friendly lavender essential oil and
 filled with sparkles! Vampires like sparkles, right?
 Kind regards,
 Your friends at Lush
