That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

My new favorite news photo. The ugliness of these people just leaps right out at you.
Reuters photo (I checked that it's real) showing Trump glaring belligerently at the camera, with Melania behind him looking like she'd like to rip the photographers throat out, and Xi watching them both with a mild bemused expression.

Carney telling the European Parliament that what's needed is an alliance - his word, repeated - where nobody gets to tell the EU and Canada what to do. Good *LORD*. And met with a standing ovation. Well, that's that for the previously-existing form of Atlanticism, then.

Glaciers in the Himalayas are rapidly retreating under climate change, leading to widespread formation and expansion of glacial lakes and increasing the risk of glacial lake outburst floods. To date, more than 388 GLOF events have been documented in the region 😰 Source ⬇️

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

When UK Gladiators was massive, we had a lad in school bragging on the playground that his Dad knew Lightning from Gladiators before she was famous, knew her 'real' name and brought in proof for show and tell. Turned out his Dad had a signed Bonnie Tyler record.

@adamtooze.bsky.social has a list of five things China should do to gain hegemony. I agree with all of them and ideally would add a pledge to not use force against Taiwan. The problem is I’m not sure China wants to be a hegemon.

Stealing from the Saracens: How Islamic Architecture Shaped EuropeSir Christopher Wren (born in 1632), an acclaimed English architect, wrote in the 1700s: “Modern gothic… from all the marks of the new architecture, it can only be attributed to the Moors; or what is the same thing, to the Arabians or Saracens”.

Saracen was a derogatory term used for Muslims at this time, and even to this day. Its original Arabic meaning is linked to the word “to steal”, and was supposed to reference Muslims as thieves and looters.

Diana Darke, author of ‘Stealing from the Saracens: How Islamic Architecture Shaped Europe’ writes extensively about the origins of Gothic architecture in Europe and the western world, in her book. She says in an interview with the Guardian: “Against a backdrop of rising Islamophobia, I thought it was about time someone straightened out the narrative.”

It is 1745. Bonnie Prince Charlie has raised his flag and started the Jacobite rising and Catherine the Great has married Peter III of Russia (that's sure to go well). We are taking a turn around York, "...the second city in England but the first in antiquity."
We are looking at a very very detailed plan of, "The South-East Prospect of the City of York". It is a mass of buildings, churches and the grand York Minster looming above it all. In the foreground are open fields with people in 18th century dress walking and talking.

There's a broken cuneiform tablet from the Old Babylonian period, nearly 4,000 years ago, which preserves a tiny portion of a dialogue between two friends. It feels a bit like the conversations I've been having for the past week, so I wanted to share it.
Photo of a cuneiform tablet fragment shaped a bit like an irregular diamond. It preserves nearly 20 incomplete lines of text separated by a horizontal ruling
