I just leave this for #PhallusThursday: A Roman oil lamp featuring an inscription and a phallus.
The inscription reads "ne atigas non sum tua marci sum" (don't touch me! I'm not yours; I belong to Marcus').
From the Esquiline necropolis in Rome, 2nd century BC

Musk is very confused - the EU Commission president is nominated by leaders of (elected) govts and approved by the (elected) European Parliament, not 'appointed by a committee'.

A grave of a Roman physician in Bingen dating to the 2nd c. AD contained a remarkable set of medical instruments, including cupping cups with a stand in the shape of a grapevine.
These cups were used for therapeutic suction or bloodletting, a practice with deep roots in Greco-Roman . 🧵1/ 2

Why don't some Americans understand that Trump is Putin's puppet:
1. He is to meet Ukraine's president Zelensky.
2. Before he calls Putin for 2 1/2 hours & receives his instructions.
3. He repeats Putin's instructions: No tomahawks for you, Ukraine!
