@ElizabethLKnox1 Hi

[Matt Lester @MJLester_]

@fakehistoryhunt @Culture_Crit Historic England are currently looking for apprentices for stonemasonry and carpentry for the upkeep of historic buildings if anyone reading this thread wants a career in historic crafts:

@fakehistoryhunt The game is very impressive! I particularly love that the statues and buildings are painted instead of left white (grrrrr).

Worth checking out is the virtual tour of notible sites in the game by the American School of Classical Studies in Athens:

This article sums up nicely the main issues with the new (and unfortunately trending) Netflix series “Ancient Apocalypse”.

Also, this “documentary” (it’s not) was the first, and hopefully last time I heard the term “mainstream archaeologists” 🙃

@LazyDUKESTER01 @WhoScored @emimartinezz1 @AVFCOfficial Sadly true

[Matt Lester @MJLester_]

@Realintelligent @LtdVfes @GoodwinMJ Reading comprehension not your strong point, eh Ian.

[Matt Lester @MJLester_]

@Realintelligent @LtdVfes @GoodwinMJ You seem to have deliberately misinterpreted my argument from the start, so this thread is pretty boring, pal.

The poll shows 50/50 conservative/Labour for graduates. If you think that suggests universities are indoctrinating students into left-wing views, then take the ‘W’.

[Matt Lester @MJLester_]

@Realintelligent @LtdVfes @GoodwinMJ Not really. All I’ve argued from the start is that students aren’t being indoctrinated into a political position by their academic institutions. I don’t really care what the students’ actual political positions are, which is what you’ve been trying to argue about.
