A 2,300-year-old silver container in the shape of a scallop-shell decorated with an octopus 🐙 It may once have held cosmetics. From Paternò, Sicily. Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows a silver shell-shaped container with an eight-armed octopus in relief at the centre of the lid. The arms of the octopus curl outwards across the ridges of the shell’s surface. This ornate shell container has a hinged lid and may once have been a cosmetic container . It is displayed on a clear stand in a museum case. Dimensions: 13.3 × 13.2 × 3 cm. It is part of the Silver Treasure from Paternò, Sicily, a hoard discovered in 1909, consisting of tableware and toiletries. Dated 4th-3rd century BC.

Has your GM ever hit you with a curveball so wild it changed the very fabric of the game world? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme
A four-panel meme depicting a group of muscular men playing a tabletop role-playing game. Panel 1: A large, muscular man with long blonde hair and a braided beard, acting as the GM, declares, "YOU SEE A WAREHOUSE IN THE DISTANCE." He's holding a tankard and sitting behind a GM screen with "G&G" on it. Panel 2: Three players react. One on the left, with dark hair, eats from a bowl. The middle player, with short blonde hair, looks at his dice. The player on the right, with a beard, leans on his hand, asking, "IS THAT LIKE A WEREWOLF, BUT INSTEAD OF A WOLF THEY TURN INTO A HOUSE?" Panel 3: The GM glares intensely, with "IT IS NOW" in text below him, implying he's incorporating the player's idea. Panel 4: The players are defeated. The GM smiles menacingly at his screen, saying, "YOU GUYS ARE UNDERLEVELED AND OVERFUCKED" and "AND YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED TO PREPARE FOR!" One player cries into his hands, and another is sprawled unconscious on the table. A paper on the table shows a crude drawing of a house with a wolf's head and a stat block next to it that says "WAREHOUSE-WOLF," "HP: 574," and "AC: 12." The unconscious player has a speech bubble saying "Zzzzz."

Ever had your players fall for a mimic's charm? How do you keep them on their toes? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity
Comic of an adventurer warned about a mimic chest. He ignores the warning and approaches a tied-up person. The person turns into a mimic and attacks. The chest mimic says, 'Please stop taking my lunch, Jared.' The person mimic replies, 'Adapt or die, loser.'

How do you handle it when the dice completely derail your planned encounter? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme
A six-panel meme titled "GMs after an accidental TPK" showing a man in period costume going through stages of realization: first saying "I won", then "I won ??", followed by "WAIT A MINUTE", then "I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO WIN", next "LET ME SEE THE SCRIPT", and finally looking down at papers labeled "medium difficulty encounter".

As I was closing the window on the work computer and switching to another task, I muttered aloud to myself, "Today is Tuesday." And immediately a song from the old Mickey Mouse Club popped into my head: "Today's Tuesday, you know what that means? We're gonna have a special guest!"

This month's @motherjones.com cover is astounding. Reposted with alt text:
Cover of the September-October issue of Mother Jones Magazine: a white background with the words "50 years of fearless journalism" in black print, centered above the name/logo of the magazine in large Bright Red. Below that in black, the words "the southern strategy — jim crow was dead and buried. Then came the Roberts court."

And then, framing those words, there are two sets of robes: to the left, the simple black robes of the Judicial Branch of the United States Government, as a Supreme Court Justice might wear; to the right, the white robes and hood of the KKK.

A white person's hand with cuff of business suit and shirt visible, reaches into the scene from the right, poised to grab the Klan robes.
