Image: Alex Parkin / The Verge You can’t buy Meta’s most impressive new product, the smart glasses codenamed Orion. You might be able to buy something sort of like them a few years from now, but most of us will never get to so much as wear them. That doesn’t necessarily make them less impressive, though, or less important. Orion is a statement of purpose from Meta: that AR glasses really are the future and that we’re eventually going to get there. On this episode of The Vergecast, The Verge’s Alex Heath joins the show to tell us all about his experience with Orion — two hours in the glasses of the future, playing Pong with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and making smoothies and doing all sorts of other things. He also tells us about his conversation with Zuckerberg... Continue reading…

In this episode of our podcast, we delve into the rich tapestry of ancient Andean societies with Charles Stanish, a prominent scholar whose career has spanned influential roles in archaeology and anthropology. Formerly the Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA, Stanish has also served as the Executive Director of the Institute for the Advanced Study of Culture and the Environment at the University of South Florida. His extensive research into prehistoric societies in Peru, Bolivia, and Chile has significantly advanced our understanding of trade, war, and labor organization in these ancient cultures. In this enlightening discussion, Stanish shifts his focus to the astronomical alignments and geoglyphs of Peru’s Chincha and Nazca Valleys, offering new insights into their cultural and ceremonial significance. Figure 01. The Nasca geoglyphs are massive, intricate designs and linear geoglyphs etched into the Peruvian desert.

Stranger churches in early modern London had 'eyes everywhere' to hear, spread and dispel gossip in multiple languages, according to new research. The Elizabethan era saw large numbers of migrants coming to England, many of whom were Protestants fleeing religious persecution and violence from countries that spoke French, Dutch, Flemish, Italian and Spanish. Dr John Gallagher, Associate Professor of Early Modern History at the University of Leeds, has uncovered evidence that the state was monitoring gossip about them in multiple languages. His findings are revealed in a new paper, Migrant Voices in Multilingual London, 1560-1600, which is published in Transactions of the Royal Historical Society. Dr Gallagher, who recently won the Philip Leverhulme Prize for his work in this area, said: "England's history is much more multilingual than we might imagine, and even the state had to learn multiple languages in the Elizabethan area to have 'eyes everywhere' and maintain control…. The average person would have come across multiple languages every day, and we can hear the voices of regular people because of the extensive records kept by churches at the time.’ "Languages other than English could be heard in the streets and in the public spaces of the city, through the walls of homes and the doors of shops."
