  1. Good flamin' grief! I just emailed Cadw, the heritage quango of the Welsh government, about deliberate damage to a scheduled monument - a criminal offence.

    Cadw (which falls under, erm, Transport for Wales - eh?) and their customer support person told me "it's a private site and so nothing to do with us".

    Er... scheduled site. Welsh Government heritage body. Almost every scheduled site is on private land.

    I mean, the whole system's just utterly broken.

  26. 🎯🚀 Oh wow, ancient arrowheads in Uzbekistan? Quick, everyone stop the presses! Because clearly nothing screams cutting-edge #science like some dusty rocks from 80,000 years ago. Meanwhile, PLOS One is doing its best impression of a bureaucratic black hole with more submission guidelines than actual content. 📜🌀
