Bronze Hand of Sabazius - here is an example of one that would be attached to a wooden pole for religious ceremonies and processions. The hand includes magic symbols. It was a mysterious cult, popular in #ancient #Greece and #Rome.

I think the fact that the arctic is now open for container ship travel is bad news for everyone. Not just for Europe. Forget the geopolitical implications for a moment. We are losing the fight against climate change.

What a charming #Egyptian bronze figure of a shrew! Since shrews are animals that find their way in the dark they were connected to the descending phase of the sun’s nocturnal journey. Late Period (746-332 B.C).

Looking up the backstory to this, it's a US artist who was part of a camouflage engineer battalion whose job was to create fake tanks and airfields to confuse the Nazis. I think it speaks to something in human nature that he entered newly liberated Paris and immediately drew a horny bike sketch

Republicans are going to cheat & gerrymander with the rubber stamp of the Supreme Court.
It will be very hard for Democrats to take back the House and Senate.
Meanwhile, Trump will send the military to crush protests, and when he gets desperate, he'll implement martial law.
Eyes wide open, folks.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

One more time: As it’s not “weaponization of justice” for law enforcement to prosecute someone who committed crimes trying to rob a bank, it’s also not weaponization of justice for law enforcement to prosecute someone who committed crimes trying to overthrow an American election.
