Enjoy this gorgeous image that my 87-year-old dad shot tonight in Huntington Beach. Proud of his talent, and most of all proud of his heart.

This well preserved Roman bronze cavalry 'sports' mask has some beautiful details. Thought to have been used for parades or tournaments - part of maintaining morale and fighting effectiveness - these masks may also have been used in battle. 🏺 1/ #ancientbluesky

Meet Casper, my Ghost mantis. Mantises are generally relaxed with humans. You could even say that Casper is a friendly ghost mantis. 👻😆

Brazil succeeded in holding coup plotters accountable. "If — when the glass has been swept away & the trials are over — those who empowered, guided, mobilized, and legitimized [the riots] are never held to account, then... the conditions for repetition remain intact.” jacobin.com/2026/01/janu...
What Brazil’s January 8 Can Teach Us About January 6

There are astonishing things at the British Museum, but it's the 2000-year-old Roman muffin tin that speaks to me. Humans are humans, through time and across continents.
