A ballistic threat leaves people with too little time to safely reach a shelter. So instead of going back and forth between home and the metro, families choose to stay underground for the entire night. You can help change that: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

Just off the coast of Deer Island, New Brunswick is Old Sow. The largest whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere, it is the size of a football field and has existed for hundreds of years. It also has quite an interesting history. This is the story. 📸 Walter Baxter 🧵 1/6

What on earth! It's not even been a year and the quality is worse than it already was. I think I've been scammed. Time to write an angry letter ;)

I recently got the opportunity to explore some unmapped caves with a team of climate scientists attempting to understand the environment during the collapse of Minoan civilization. Come with me on a journey underground, to places only a handful of humans have ever seen. youtu.be/PW4Fk3gfczA?...

Would you be able to put a FREE Japanese language edition of The Mathematicians' Library to good use? I'll send it out to the first person who gives me a good reason why they should have it, and I'll even cover postage (anywhere the UK). 1/n

A Japanese edition of The Mathematicians’ Library lies on a deep magenta patterned carpet. The blue book cover features large white Japanese lettering, the English title The Mathematicians’ Library, and colourful overlapping translucent mathematical shapes forming a vivid abstract design. The author’s name, Thomas K. Briggs, and the publisher’s name appear in Japanese.

This morning it was announced that several pieces of 7th c. BCE Greek (Cretan) armor and other antiquities in the #MetMuseum were repatriated to Greece. Looted in the 1960s from Crete, this includes two helmets, and three mitrai (belly guards). A look at three items ... 🧵 🏺 1/ 📸 me

Bronze helmet with two winged youths on each side who flank and grasp a pair of entwined serpents. They are dressed in short kilts, wear winged sandals and have wings on their backs that appear to be attached with straps. Although some scholars have identified these figures as the legendary Cretan craftsman Daidalos and his son Icarus, they probably represent local daemonic beings. Below them are two panthers with a common head.

Inscription above the visor: 'Neopolis'.

Greek, Cretan, late 7th century BCE. From Afrati (or Aphrati, ancient Arkades), Crete.

Met Museum, New York (1989.281.50)

One of two bronze Archaic Cretan helmets at the Met Museum, the finest pieces of a large cache of armor that came to light in southern central Crete, where they were undoubtedly made. It has a beautiful patina of bright greens and rich, deep orange-reds. The inscriptions suggest that the armor was captured as booty and offered as a dedication. This helmet depicts two long-legged horses worked in repoussé with incised details (one on each side). Small engraved lions appear on the cheekpieces. An inscription on the helmet states that “Synenitos the son of Euklotas [took this].”

Greek, Cretan, late 7th century BCE (Archaic). Said to be from Afrati, Crete.

Height: 9 5/8 in. (24.5 cm)

Met Museum, New York (1989.281.49)

Bronze mitra (belly guard), shaped like a slightly long half-circle. Mitra were suspended from belts to protect the lower abdomen. This is one of three, and is decorated with two sphinxes facing one another, their heads turned towards the viewer. They were tall polos-style hats.

Met Museum, New York (1989.281.53). Deaccessioned for return to the Hellenic Republic in September 2026.

Dmitry Rogozin, a senator of the Russian Federation representing the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region, explains to MGIMO (top Russian university) students how Russian propaganda works. Russia spends enormous amounts of money on its propaganda machine, both inside Russia and around the world
