It sounds conspiratorial to suggest that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump behind closed doors to launch an assault on mail-in voting in elections administered by the states, and Trump immediately set about mobilizing federal power to do it… but that is literally Trump’s account of what happened.

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

Philomena Cunk against a collection of classical statues. "Antigone's death is even more tragic than it actually is, which makes her a tragic hero"

Philomena Cunk looking thoughtful. "Goya continued to paint tapestries until 1792 when serious illness left him dead for life"

Philomena Cunk looking thoughtfully into the distance. "Society is slowly becoming more contemporary now"

Philomena Cunk looking into camera on a beach. "Diderot's Tahiti represents a typical male fantasy in which attractive young women are eager to engage in sexual activity with the French"

I finally got a sharp photo of this luscious red jasper scaraboid with a depiction of Perseus tiptoing forward in pursuit of Medusa. Note the incredible detail of the wings on his diadem and sandals. @doccrom.bsky.social 🏺 #ancientbluesky 1/ Greek, 400-350 BCE. 📸 me

The hero Perseus tiptoes forward to the left on the groundline of this gem, perhaps in pursuit of the gorgon Medusa. He wears a winged diadem and winged sandals with a cloak draped over his right shoulder. One of the two spears held in his right hand has a sickle blade, the dorydepanon, attached to the shaft. He raises his left hand towards his mouth.

This is known as a 'scaraboid' because the stone is cut into a traditional Egyptian scarab shape, with the flat underside used to carve this intaglio of Perseus.

The mottled red jasper is mostly a plum color with lots of very brighly colored inclusions of yellow, red, and blue-green.

Greek, made in Greece, ca. 400-350 BCE. Mottled red jasper.
