I love family metaphors in ancient letters, like this one from ~2300 BCE written by Abbaya to a superior named Dudua.
“Why are you not my father?” Abbaya demands. He then asks why he hasn’t been trusted with a transaction, so the question could mean something like “why are you being a bad boss”

Jos haluat logiikkaa, niin hallituksen toimintaa pitäisi analysoida eturyhmien voittojen kautta. Tämä selittää hyvin, miksi hallituksen toiminta voi tuntua ristiriitaiselta. Mutta se ei ole, kun katsoo, kuka siitä hyötyy.

If someone broke into your house, set stuff on fire, sprayed chemicals into the air, and poisoned your water, it would be a crime.
But corporations and individuals do this to our planet—our home—with impunity.

To bring a smile to your face, here’s an ancient Egyptian sketch of a tabby cat serving a mouse! 😁
The artist used a flake of limestone as a sketchpad to draw this comic scene some 3,200 years ago.

So a lot of people who have never seen silent movies might wonder how we can get so absorbed in them.
Well, the opening scenes of UP are essentially silent and people are still talking about how touching they are. That’s the power of visual storytelling

In ancient Mesopotamia, astronomers needed to know the moon’s position, even on a cloudy night.
So they made records and calculations of the moon’s positions and velocity measured in degrees. This record from Uruk or Babylon from the Seleucid period covers 248 days.

The incredible ‘Orkney Hood’ from Scotland! 🏴
So well preserved it looks like it was woven yesterday rather than some 1,500 years ago!
It’s thought the hood was made for a child. Found in 1867 in a peat bog in St Andrews Parish, Orkney.

Gazan sota | Suomi lähetti upseereita Israelin asevoimien seminaariin
YK:n riippumaton tutkintakomissio on katsonut, että Israel on syyllistynyt kansanmurhaan Gazassa. Suomalaisupseeri Markus Wahlsteinin mukaan seminaarissa ei varsinaisesti pohdittu Gazan siviiliuhreja.

Everyone wants to distance themselves from the poor because it feels nice to look down and say “at least that’s not me.”
It could be any of us at any time. That’s how the system is set up. Bills and financial responsibilities don’t stop because you can’t work.
There’s no shame in admitting it.
