Big Picture Science for May 5, 2025: The Wrong Stuff

REPEAT
By one estimate the average American home has 300,000 objects. Yet our ancient ancestors had no more than what they could carry with them. How did we go from being self-sufficient primates to nonstop shoppers? We examine the evolutionary history of stuff through the lens of archeology beginning with the ancestor who first picked up a palm-sized rock and made it into a tool.

Guest:

* Chip Colwell - archeologist and former Curator of Anthropology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, editor-in-chief of the digital magazine Sapiens, and author of “So Much Stuff: How Humans Discovered Tools, Invented Meaning, and Made More of Everything.”

There is no “away.” Why we’re not having an Earth Day sale.

I saw a new Executive Self Storage place being built and now I'm thinking this would be a great way to unload my collection of #stuff that's not needed but too good to throw away:

1. rent storage, pay for for two years
2. clear out closets
3. add some unique items
4. leave it to be auctioned off
5. sleep peacefully
6. watch for unique items to show up on YouTube

It's cool, when #TrafficLights discuss #controversial #Stuff. The #charming Side of #AI and #Technology. 😂

I have succumbed to propaganda (Instagram ad) and finally bought them fabled Fiona Franchimon hairpins.

I have like a quarter of a kilo of various hairpins and bobby pins, because none of them are any good, so what hope do I have to expect any better from this expensive newfangled faffery? But I'm not immune to propaganda, in my favourite colour, that looks like a starship, so here we are.

Unfortunately these hairpins are absolutely excellent so I can't even complain 😤
