Thirty-two years ago, a small group of archaeologists gathered for a weekend in Somerset to make a TV programme about a field in Athelney, the site where once, 1,200 years ago, King Alfred the Great rallied resistance to the invading Viking army. There weren’t many concessions to showbiz glitz. Instead, a group of blokes with unruly hair and a couple of women walked across a field, talked things over in the pub and, at one point, gathered around a dot matrix printer to watch it slowly disgorging some results. The most exciting artefact they found was a lump of iron slag. No soil was overturned. From those unpromising beginnings, however, a TV juggernaut was born. That first episode of Time Team, screened on Channel 4 on 16 January 1994, kicked off a remarkable 20-year run of more than 200 episodes, before falling audiences and an unhappy revamp led to its eventual cancellation in 2013. But as any archaeologist will tell you, just because something is in the past doesn’t mean it will stay buried. In 2021, at the urging of a group of devoted fans, some of the original Time Team experts gathered again to film a dig, this time

In a significant shift in leadership, Matthew Mercer, the chief creative officer of Critical Role, announced his decision to step away from overseeing one of the team’s key endeavors: their acclaimed “Dungeons & Dragons” Twitch livestream. This announcement came in July, marking a notable moment in the organization’s decade-long journey to establishing a prominent presence in nerd culture. Mercer shared his feelings of burnout during an appearance on the podcast “Crispy’s Tavern: Tales and Tea” in August. He expressed a growing concern about the continuous creative demands placed upon him, describing it as “a very draining and very scary thing.” Recognizing the toll this pressure had taken on his well-being, Mercer emphasized the necessity of taking a break and allowing oneself the time to recharge. Despite stepping back from the livestream, Mercer, along with his seven cofounders, remains heavily involved in a variety of ongoing projects. These include a sold-out arena tour and two animated series backed by Amazon, which are set to release on Prime Video. Mercer is also integral to the operations of Darrington Press, the team’s game publishing division, which has launched their flagship game, “Daggerheart,” a response to traditional “D&D” gameplay. Mercer advised others facing similar

A Facebook post you may have seen claims a new policy starts tomorrow allowing parent-company Meta to do what it wants with your photos. (KGTV) — A Facebook post you may have seen claims a new policy starts tomorrow allowing parent-company Meta to do what it wants with your photos. The post goes on to explicitly state that the user does not authorize Meta to do that and then encourages you to copy the post onto your page. But don't bother because there is no truth to any of this. There is no new Facebook rule. And even if there was, just pasting something onto your page won't override it.

English teacher Jocelyn Medawar has noticed a new vibe at Harvard-Westlake School this school year: Upper school students are chatting in the halls and greet her as they enter class. They no longer have their "faces glued to a screen," said Medawar, who has taught at the elite private school for 35 years. "The whole feeling on campus has generally changed." At a time when school cellphone bans or limits are the law in California public schools and in at least 34 other states — a growing national movement to get distracted students off their devices and focused on learning — Harvard-Westlake has found a way to enforce their restrictions by turning to — what else? — a mobile app that partially locks down phones and flags the front office when students attempt to break the rules. Students in grades 10 through 12 must install a custom-programmed app called "Opal" that blocks a list of social media and gaming apps that Harvard-Westlake educators have identified for now as scofflaws during school hours: TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, X, Discord, Threads, Pokémon Go, Roblox, Clash Royale and Reddit. Students at the Studio City campus are allowed to keep their cellphones with them and
