This episode epitomizes our approach to discussing films. We're not about nitpicking what a movie gets "right" from source material, but rather we unpack how such differences reflect our current culture & selves. Thanks @hypatiaheuresis.bsky.social for the talk and @realgdt.bsky.social for the film!

This funerary cone belonged to a royal scribe called Ramose, who lived during the reign of Taharqa (25th Dynasty). The name of the king appears in a cartouche in the fourth column, followed by that of Ramose. Both are identified as mAa-xrw “justified”, indicating that they were deceased. (1/2)

BlueSkies #Speirgorm above Abercromby Square after a frosty night. The crocuses are only just thawing out but the first daffodil is in full bloom. And we can hear bird's tweeting, even from our offices!

A portrait photo of Abercromby Square, in the foreground lots of closed crocused populate a frosted flowerbed, some small dapples of sunlight illuminate the frosted lawn behind that but the still bare trees in the background. The old terraced houses of Abercromby Square are visible through the trees. The sky at the top of the picture is blue without a single cloud.

A landscapephoto of Abercromby Square, in the foreground the lawn is a mixture of frosted white in the shadows and bright green where the sun is shining on the grass. The pagoda in the centre of the square is also catching some sun light. Behind the still bare trees in the background the old terraced houses of Abercromby Square are visible on the left and the modern building of the Sidney Jones Library on the right. The sky at the top of the picture is blue without a single cloud.

A clsoe up of a daffodil in full bloom with another, still closed, daffodil next to it. The daffodils are in front of an evergreen bush. To the right one of the old terraces of Abercromby Square is visuble and at the top of the picture a bit of blue sky shines through.

This article underestimates the number of job losses (already reported elsewhere to have exceeded 10,000) and employs the misleading adjective 'leading' universities (meaning what, to whom?), but if you've been living under a rock and need a quick introduction to the topic, you could start here.
