@ArdisDoc I don't know if you have technical problems or some external forces are at work but I've tried 4 times to join the waiting list only to get "web page unavailable". Just FYI 👍
🦴 A skeleton in a cave. Nine thousand years old.
They tested his DNA. 🧬
And matched it to a man living half a mile away. 🇬🇧
In 1903, workers were digging a drainage channel inside a gorge in Somerset. They hit bone. A body. Curled up. Deep inside the rock.
He'd been there since before Stonehenge. Before the pyramids.
They called him Cheddar Man. 🧀
He hunted deer through forests that covered this island. He fished rivers that still run through the same valley today. And then he died. Alone. In a cave.
For a century, he sat behind glass. A museum piece. A curiosity. A name on a plaque.
Then in 1997, a scientist from Oxford had an idea. He took DNA from one of Cheddar Man's teeth. Then he went into the village. Walked into the local school. Swabbed the
cheeks of twenty residents.
And ran the tests.
🧬 One matched.
Adrian Targett. History teacher. Living half a mile from the cave.
Three hundred generations. Same family. Same valley. Nine thousand years. And the line never left.
He didn't know.
The longest unbroken connection between a living person and an ancient ancestor. Anywhere in the world.
Same hills. Same river. Same village. Half a mile from the cave.
You are the reason we can tell these stories. https://t.co/rih7iKwnvf

NEW: Kentucky family rejects $26 million offer to convert part of their farm into a data center despite the offer being about 10 times the going rate for farmland in the area.
"If it's my way, I'll stay and hold and feed a nation. 26 million doesn't mean anything."
"As long as I'm on this land, as long as it's feeding me, as long as it's taking care of me, there's nothing that can destroy me if I've got this land."

In 1707, two thousand sailors DROWNED.
Not because of a storm.
Because nobody could tell where they were at sea 🇬🇧
This was the longitude problem. The deadliest puzzle in science.
Parliament offered £20,000 to anyone who could solve it.
Nearly four million today.
Every great scientist in Europe tried. Newton. Halley. The finest minds alive.
All of them failed.
The man who solved it was a carpenter from Yorkshire.
His name was John Harrison.
No formal education. No university. No wealthy patron. He taught himself clockmaking.
Built timepieces out of wood.
His idea was “simple”. If you know the exact time at home and the exact time at sea, you can calculate exactly where you are.
The problem?
No clock could keep accurate time on a moving ship. Heat warps metal. Cold contracts it. The ocean never stops moving.
Harrison spent DECADES on it.
H1. Twenty years of work. Not good enough.
H2. Better. Still not enough.
H3. Seventeen years. Over 700 parts.
Still not enough.
Then he did something nobody expected. He stopped building clocks.
He built a watch.
H4. Thirteen centimetres across. The most important watch ever made.
They sent it across the Atlantic. Eighty-one days at sea.
When they arrived, it had lost five seconds.
Five seconds. In eighty-one days. The problem was solved.
But here's the uncomfortable part.
They didn't give him the prize.
The Board of Longitude was run by astronomers.
The very men who'd been trying to solve it their own way.
The Astronomer Royal was both judge and competitor.
They changed the rules. Demanded his designs. Refused to pay.
A working-class carpenter had beaten every astronomer in Europe. And the establishment couldn't accept it.
Harrison was nearly EIGHTY before he got justice.
He went directly to King George III.
The king tested the watch himself and told Harrison to petition Parliament with the king's full backing.
Parliament paid. Harrison died three years later.
After his death, every ship on earth carried a chronometer based on his design.
Every GPS satellite. Every ship's navigation. Every flight path. All of it traces back to a carpenter from Yorkshire who taught himself to build a watch.
His watches are still at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. Still ticking.
Still perfect.
The establishment tried to bury him once.
We're not letting it happen again 👇 https://t.co/rih7iKwnvf

This is his “shadow yacht” for his main yacht. This yacht just sails alongside his larger yacht for additional supplies

The word British is older than Rome. 🇬🇧
Before England.🏴 Before Scotland.🏴 Before Wales.🏴
A civilisation lived on this island. They had kings. They worked metal. They traded with the ancient world. They called themselves Pritani. The painted people.
In 325 BC a Greek explorer sailed here and wrote the name down for the first time in human history.
When Caesar arrived he called the island Britannia. But the name was already ancient. Rome didn't give us our name. They borrowed it.
Then the Anglo-Saxons came from a peninsula in Denmark called Angeln. They pushed the Celts west. Into Wales. Into Cornwall. Across the sea to France.
The Celts took their name with them. The region they settled in France is still called Brittany today. Same word. Different coast.
Pritani. Pretannikai. Britannia. Britain. Brittany. One word. 2,300 years old. Still alive on both sides of the Channel.
Romans. Anglo-Saxons. Vikings. Normans. Every one of them came to this island. None of them could erase what was already here.
When you say I am British you are speaking a word older than Rome.

I don't understand how we're not having a global revolution right now.
To all the members of Congress that voted today to continue to conceal Congress’s sexual harassment slush fund, go home and tell your daughters what you’ve done.
BREAKING 🚨 MARINE: “NO ONE WANTS TO DIE FOR ISRAEL”
U.S. Marine Brian McGinnis got dragged out of a senate hearing for standing up and saying what everyone is thinking.
Reports that they BROKE his hand.
This is a patriot.
Reminder that Biden regime set up a hotline for unaccompanied migrant children to report safety issues with sponsors.
65,000 calls went UNANSWERED
Only ONE person was assigned to answer calls
Now we find out the Biden admin PAID the child traffickers at the border
Many kids were living with predators and were forced into s*x slavery
Everyone responsible for this belongs in prison. Democrats ran one of the largest child trafficking operations in history.
This should be a much bigger scandal
The Iran protests in New York City are bought and paid for, here it all is with proof. Watch how they load the signs into the car and at 3:10 the leader confronts me and I expose her salary. She celebrated october 7th, and got paid to do it. Best of luck @LaynaLazar.
The Iranian women’s national football team refused to sing the anthem of the Islamic Regime. Tonight. At the opening match of the Asian Cup. In front of the entire world.
So, to all liberal Western women:
Watch and learn.
THIS is what real feminism looks like.
