Gonzo's delivery of the single greatest line in film history is made infinitely better once you realise it is an EXACT rendering of Charles Dickens' own emphasis in the original story.
Passage from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens: "‘Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world."

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

I’m sick of the Louvre gatekeeping access to great works of art. They should let you borrow the Mona Lisa for the weekend

#GreekVaseOfTheDay Two young women, suppliants, on an altar, taking refuge to escape their pursuers, a young man and a bearded king.
🏺 Apulian Volute crater
⏳ Around 350 BC (Bari painter 12061)
🏛️ MAH Musée d'art et d'histoire, Ville de Genève. Achat, 1982
🔗 www.mahmah.ch/collection/o...
Side A. The main scene takes place in the lower register, with an altar at its center, behind which stands a column topped by a scrolled crater. On the altar are two young women, suppliants. They take refuge on this altar to escape their pursuers, a helmeted young man unsheathing his sword on the left, and a bearded king on the right, holding his sword and his scepter. Behind the young man stands the god Pan, leaning against a stele, holding a lagobolon (staff used for hunting) and a phiale. Behind the king stands a second young man, dressed like the first. In the upper register, Artemis and Apollo converse, while a second group is formed by Aphrodite, Eros and a goddess identified as Peithô, a personification of love-passion and persuasion. The interpretation of this scene remains difficult. Side B The secondary side features a Dionysian scene. Dionysus is leaning against a stack of cushions, holding the thyrseus in his left hand and a phiale in his right. He is surrounded by maenads, a satyr and the god Pan, who sits at top left, holding a phiale and a lagobolon. Young Eros, holding a phiale and crown, flies above Dionysus. In front of the latter, a zither, an amphora and a phiale lie on the ground. Ancillary decor A rich decoration of palmettes adorns the body below the handles. The neck of the crater is decorated on either side with a woman's head emerging from a flower corolla.

A #Roman tile marked with the footprint of a chicken pressed into the surface some 1700+ years ago - dog, cat, & even human prints are not uncommon on tiles, but birds are less common, making this a particularly charming example of a marked tile 🏺 AncientBlueSky #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology

The phrase "The die is cast" is one of the most famous quotes attributed to Julius Caesar, but it is actually a mistranslation of the sentence he is reported to have said in Greek.

A rare #Greek askos in the form of a lobster claw, dating around 450 BC. The vessel was used to hold oil.
