The #WRAP #SoberRide codes for the #BIGGAME will be released at 6:00pm on Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025! So if you plan on drinking🍻🥂🍸🍹 during the game, plan for a safe ride home!

WRAP’s SoberRide®, called one of the nation’s most successful free safe ride programs for would-be impaired drivers, has helped to ensure greater Washington, DC residents have a safe way home on high-risk holidays.

Key questions, key areas:

#Grandmothering/#cooperative #childcare. Do women experience this support? Are they living with Mum? (Hawkes et al, Hrdy, Opie and Power, Knight, Migliano, Scelza)

If #matrilocal, is #brideservice more productive than if #patrilocal (Marlowe, Woodburn)? what factors influence residence patterns? Do brothers keep check on husbands (Hill et al on bro/sis relation, which is an evolutionary novelty for great apes)?

Abundance, #biggame + women's #economic #autonomy (Lewis, Woodburn, Marlowe, Blurton Jones, Lee, Thomas). In what contexts can men be lazy and live off women's work? When do women get demanding with sex contingent on produce like honey and fatty meat? Women like meat (Biesele)!

The significance of an oral tradition to a foraging society is examined from anthropological, ethnographical and historical perspectives.

I like this commenter on this piece after #Microsoft officially finalized the #Activision takeover: theverge.com/2023/10/13/237912

"So #BigGame has officially formed. It is #Tencent, #Sony, Microsoft, and #Nintendo. Nobody else can challenge this group. Nobody can outcompete this group. Nobody can do anything if all members of this group don't approve it. Good luck."

Yep, it's a really sad day for the gaming industry and it's another reason why I'm mostly done with modern AAA mainstream gaming.
