Please enjoy this medieval bag of dicks.
A metal allow badge showing a textile purse with three penises inside it, the shafts peeking up above the bag's opening. The caption reads, "urse with three phalli, lead-tin, 30 ×
30 mm, c. 1375–1425. Found in Middelburg,
Netherlands. Collection Van Beuningen, Cothen
[HP2, no. 1768]. The Middelburg find is
comparable with the erotic badge recovered from
the Thames foreshore at Custom House Quay."

the YOLO corporate strategy... it doesn't just blow up in THEIR faces. We all end up suffering consequences. In fact, it seems often government shields corporations from the flack while taxpayers carry the burden.

Drone-enabled counterforce strikes against strategic bombers is now something that US, Russia, China have to take seriously. Bombers are vulnerable, esp without hard shelters, and their relatively limited numbers mean that a successful strike against even one base can have a big impact.
