Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.
Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

🎶 My feet are both vibrating from the thunder of the eels!
And the slithering of their bodies really gives me all the feels,
I don't mind that I'm falling on the slippery onion peels,
The eels go thundering on! 🎶
From: Glory, glory halleeelja!

As the French Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire lay on his deathbed, a priest urged him to renounce Satan. Voltaire, characteristically, purportedly replied: 'Now is not the time for making new enemies.'

The part of Mamdani's speech that I found most exciting was "you dismantle the conditions that allowed him to gain power. That's how we stop Trump — and the next one."
We need popular political figures to point out that Trump is not an anomaly and there are plenty more to take his place.

I think this constant push for immigrants to feel & act ‘grateful’ is so insidious. Let’s change the narrative. Migration is a normal part of human behaviour, not a charity case. If you’re doing your best to do your best, you don’t need to do even more to be accepted. It’s your right to be accepted.

This will require a pilot programme. So, can we start with AI counselling this guy on a daily basis until it determines either that he is no longer a complete sociopath or to commit him?

Liverpool has 12,764 households social housing waiting list. Only FIVE “additional social rent dwellings”.
Repeated across the UK.

Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks.
