The evolution of anatomically #modernhumans took place during the #Pleistocene

The #Pleistocene (the #IceAge) is the geological epoch that lasted from about 3 million to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations

The norther area of Earth, 19,000 years ago

The evolution of anatomically modern humans took place during the Pleistocene.[35][36] At the beginning of the Pleistocene Paranthropus species were still present, as well as early human ancestors, but during the lower Palaeolithic they disappeared, and the only hominin species found in fossilic records is Homo erectus for much of the Pleistocene. Acheulean lithics appear along with Homo erectus, some 1.8 million years ago, replacing the more primitive Oldowan industry used by Australopithecus garhi and by the earliest species of Homo. The Middle Paleolithic saw more varied speciation within Homo, including the appearance of Homo sapiens about 300,000 years ago.[37] Artifacts associated with modern human behavior are unambiguously attested starting 40,000–50,000 years ago.

Origin of “I’m not crying, you’re crying”?

Case in point: A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, serialized in 1859.

On the day of a beloved friend’s wedding, two matter-of-fact characters, Miss Pross, the no-nonsense housekeeper, and Mr. Lorry, who is all business all the time, have this brief exchange:

“‘Well; but don’t cry,’ said the gentle Mr Lorry.
‘I am not crying,’ said Miss Pross; ‘you are.'”

The Military Law Task Force (MLTF) is a standing committee of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG).

The Uniform Code of Military Justice says, you must follow all orders*

Refusing illegal orders is a not a violation of the UCMJ !

The lawfulness of an *order is a question of law to be determined by the military judge.
That determination normally can be made only after a servicemember refuses or obeys an order, in a court martial or a war crimes tribunal.

#MaggieHaberman, the story of a mother who found him pelting rocks at her son’s crib in #QueensNY backyard. Hearing the baby screaming and a roughly five year old #DonaldTrump is throwing rocks at the crib. I guess you can allow that, maybe, initially he didn’t realize that there was a baby there, I don’t know

⭕Come on, he knew and has never changed

“He did not have a great reputation in the neighborhood as a kid,” Haberman said on GBH’s Boston Public Radio.

One of several accounts from Trump’s early childhood included the story of a mother who found the would-be president pelting rocks at her son’s crib in her Queens backyard.

“She starts hearing the baby screaming, and she comes outside and a roughly five year-old Donald Trump is throwing rocks at the crib,” she said. “I guess you can allow that, maybe, initially he didn’t realize that there was a baby there, I don’t know.”

#NeilArmstrong #TheHobbit J. R. R. #Tolkien #BilboBaggins #Gollum

When Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the Moon, he said: "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind"

People have speculated that the line was inspired by The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien, in which Bilbo Baggins's jump over Gollum is described as "not a great leap for a man, but a leap in the dark"

After leaving NASA in 1971 and moved to a farm in Lebanon, Ohio, Armstrong named the farm "Rivendell", a valley in Tolkien's works. In the 1990s Armstrong also had email address related to Tolkien.

Armstrong however has said that it was only after Apollo 11 that he read the works of Tolkien

People have also speculated that the idea for the quote may have come from an April 19, 1969, memo by Willis Shapley in which he wrote "the first lunar landing as an historic step forward for all mankind"

Armstrong said however that did not remember reading the memo

But, #TyCobb has this ⭕dark warning, see ALT text

Former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb on Sunday warned that President Donald Trump’s attacks on the judiciary now represent “one of the greatest threats to our democracy at this stage of the game.”

Cobb, who served as a lawyer for the White House during Trump’s first term, suggested on MS NOW’s “The Weekend” that Congress had been “neutered” by its own cowardice and by Trump’s attacks, to whom it had “ceded basically all control.”

Trump “dictates everything,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) does, Cobb argued. “That’s tragic because the way the Constitution is designed, Congress, not the courts, were deemed to be the first wave of resistance to an evil president,” said Cobb, now a fierce critic of his onetime boss.

The attorney noted that Congress actually “has greater powers than the president” with its ability to impeach, spend and declare war, but has “handed it to Trump in a basket with a bow on it, which is dangerous.”

“The courts don’t have the ability to say what’s best for America. They can’t look at a case that way,” he explained. “They have to say what does the Constitution require, and the Constitution really is not adequate to deal with a president as evil as Trump is, somebody whose desire is to accumulate and abuse power.”

SEE book review in ALT TEXT

Lacy’s grandfather, Hidejiro Yada, was born in 1923. When he was a student at Meiji University, he was drafted into the Imperial Japanese Army and joined an army shipping engineer field replacement unit in December 1943.

After going through intense training in the Philippines, he was moved to what is now North Korea and engaged in tasks such as supervising loading and rescue operations for shipwrecked vessels.

Following the end of the war, he was interned in the Soviet Union as a prisoner of war. ⭕️He returned to Japan in July 1948.

The 623-page book, titled “Story of a Student Soldier: From the South Sea to the North Star,” was published in January. Lacy got reactions from readers in Europe and the United States, including from one person who said they didn’t know Japanese POWs had been detained in the ⭕️Soviet Union for as long as ⭕️three years, and another noting that they were intrigued by how he survived the internment camp.
