no idea who made this but I think of that random person with gratitude every time I heat up any sort of wraplike food object in the microwave
two scenes from an X-Men animated program: in the first, scott summers and jean gray are making out; he is labeled "microwave heat" and she is labeled "plate." in the second, we are more distant from the couple, and wolverine is standing in the foreground, labeled "my burrito."

Admittedly I’m biased, but this was art directed by @tracebeaulieu.bsky.social, and I think he and his amazing crew did a great job designing and building the new @mst3kofficial.bsky.social reboot. youtu.be/_plBSQv2ibw?...

My favorite depiction of the Trojan Horse, and the earliest known version. I love the windows, like an airplane, and that the windows go up the neck too.
Trojan horse depicted on the Mykonos vase ca. 675 BC, so around the time of the Odyssey and Iliad. Found with human bones inside (like the horse!) and now in the Archaeological Museum of Mykonos. Image shows the horse with little windows in its side so you can see the men waiting inside.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

The Strickland Brooch, AD 800s. A fabulous example of Anglo-Saxon creativity and craftsmanship! This large silver disc brooch is inlaid with gold and niello, and decorated in ‘Trewhiddle-style’ with an intricate pattern of puppy-like animals. 📷 British Museum #Archaeology
The British Museum photo shows a large silver disc brooch, known as the Strickland Brooch. It is made of silver inlaid with gold and niello (a black metallic alloy).

The surface of the brooch has intricately carved Trewhiddle-style decoration. Trewhiddle style is a distinctive Anglo-Saxon style of ornamentation, particularly for metalwork, that includes the use of silver, niello inlay, and intricate, animal, plant and geometric designs. This style takes its name from the Trewhiddle Hoard from Cornwall.

The Strickland Brooch brooch has a central cruciform (cross-shaped) design with a silver boss (dome) at its centre. Each of the four arms of the cruciform design end with an identical animal head. The cruciform design sits within a quatrefoil, that is a shape similar to a four-petalled flower. At the point where two petals join, there is an animal head, making four in total, identical to the four animal heads of the cruciform shape. All the heads were once set with blue glass eyes. The surface of the compartments formed between the animal heads, is decorated with collared puppy-like Trewhiddle-style beasts. Four silver bosses are arranged evenly around the perimeter of the brooch. The outer edge of the brooch is bordered by a fine beaded rim. Brooch diameter : 11.2 cm.

I’m somewhat nervous sharing this painting as I created it just after my mother passed away in July this year. A ‘loose’ watercolour of a misty wood. As I watch on in the stillness I see a familiar figure drifting away to a peaceful place 🤍 Happy Friday everyone 🕊️ #ArtAdventCalendar #Scape
A rough watercolour painting of a misty forest scene.  A number of tall tree trunks appear darker in the foreground and fade away with loose foliage showing at the top of the picture. Beams of sunlight appear to break through the mist to the right and illuminate a blurry figure, what appears to be an elderly person with a stick, slightly bent over.  The figure appears to be trying to find their way, drifting towards a brighter light that can just be seen in the distance.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.
(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.
