You might know the great illustrator Kay Nielsen because he worked for Disney, designing the Night on Bald Mountain and Ave Maria sequences from Fantasia – but he had an amazing career before that (he’s actually one of my favorite artists of all time; his rendition of “The Twelve Dancing Princesses” is UH-MAZING).
A new study from ANU indicates the most likely route the ancestors of Aboriginal people took to enter Australia for the first time tens of thousands of years ago.
Co-lead researcher Shimona Kealy said these people probably traveled through Indonesia’s northern islands, into New Guinea and then Australia, which were part of a single continent between 50,000 and 70,000 years ago, when sea levels were 25-50 metres below the current level.
“We’ve created a treasure map of sorts with the likely route across land and water that these incredible people took to reach Australia,” said Ms Kealy, a Ph.D. scholar at the School of Culture, History and Language and an Associate Investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage at ANU.

Fox ‘News’ makes their money brainwashing their viewers and filling their minds with hateful views, conspiracy theories, racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic viewpoints. Their reign of terror has gone on for decades, unchecked.

Let your view be known. Tweet to these companies and ask them if they stand behind the hate, bigotry, lies and misinformation that makes up Fox News programming.

Otherwise, they shouldn’t expect the rest of us who reject these hate, lies and normalization of violence to use their products.

"Good evening, Lord Corwin," said the lean, cadaverous figure who rested against a storage rack, smoking his pipe, grinning around it.
"Good evening, Roger. How are things in the nether world?"
"A rat, a bat, a spider. Nothing much else astir. Peaceful."
"You enjoy this duty?"
He nodded.
"I am writing a philosophical romance shot through with elements of horror and morbidity. I work on those parts down here."
"Fitting, fitting," I said. "I'll be needing a lantern."
He took one from the rack, brought it to flame from his candle.
"Will it have a happy ending?" I inquired.
He shrugged.
"I'll be happy."
"I mean, does good triumph and hero bed heroine? Or do you kill everybody off?"
