Saturn is at its closest to Earth this year :) I caught it with moons Thetys and Rhea on Oct 3. Just as Earth tilts on its axis, so does Saturn—making the ring angle shift noticeably year after year. SUCH a cool planet to see! Imaged from my backyard in Victoria, BC. 🔭 #astronomy #astro #saturn

These two 1st-2nd c. CE Roman marble theatrical masks represent comedy and Melpomene, muse of tragic theater. They were discovered in the peristyle of a ruined Roman villa of La Estación in Antequera, Spain. Note the little face of the actor behind the large open mouth of the comedy mask! 😆 🏺 📸 me

Marble mask of the personification of comedic theater. It’s somewhat grotesque, the mouth opening in a large open and wide grin, with bugged-out eyes and deep laugh lines around the eyes and forehead. He has a pompadour hairstyle, taller than the face itself, and it falls to the level of the mask’s chin, with incised wavy lines. A small frowning face of an actor with a snub nose can be seen inside the large mouth.

Marble mask representing the personification of tragic theater. It’s the face of a woman, specifically Melpomene, muse of tragic theater, her eyes open wide and her mouth opening in a horrified scream. She has a two-tiered wig of wavy or ringleted hair with a center part.

Seriously can’t believe they are persisting with this aged care algorithm. But really, that aged care is not demand funded and people die waiting is appalling. I just donated to this important cause but you can just sign the petition. Together, we can make a difference. Will you join me?

Fascinating world of ancient #glass! #Roman dove-shaped vessels were used as perfume bottles. The liquid was sealed inside and the tip of the tail or the beak had to be broken to remove the perfume. This particular example, discovered in a first-century burial at Rovasenda, Italy, is...🧵1/2 🏺

David Shoebridge has been party leader for 3 days. But the media is grilling him on everything from the housing crisis, Jewish relations, party democracy and the war in Ukraine. Pauline Hanson has been leader of her party for 30 years, and she gets grilled on, well, practically nothing. #auspol

Posts like this about biking in Dutch cities are routinely replied to with comments like “well, they have the big advantage of being relatively flat.” The Dutch also have the big advantage of not constantly making excuses about why they can’t make clearly smarter city-making decisions. #Leadership

They tried their best to make the idea of having more things we want nearby, more options and choices in our cities and neighborhoods, seem like a conspiracy. But never forget what the REAL urban conspiracy has been — moving everything further away and making us car dependent. #1HourCityConspiracy
