Of all the many reason I’m so damned proud to be an American today, this has to rank at the top. Tommy Tuberville’s willingness to take on the thorniest problem facing the US today: the insidious presence of furries in our airline industry. youtu.be/RVbEmshBHSE?...

"Liber Divinorum Operum" I.4, MS 1942, fol. 38r, early C13th, original by #HildegardofBingen ( #HildegardvonBingen, German, C12th). Held by Biblioteca Statale di Lucca; source, www.hildegard-society.org/p/liber-divi... #nuntastic #womenartists #artherstory #FeastofStHildegard #StHildegard

This illustration, a later copy of a C12th artwork, has a distinct circular or "mandala" shape, superimposed over a narrow vertical gold rectangle with a thicker decorative border with repeating acanthus leaves in blue and white inside of a much narrower reddish-orange straight-line border. The blue and white border is covered over at the left and right edges of the work by the central mandala. Just inside the acanthus-leaf border is a slim green colored border, which terminates at the left middle edge of the drawing in a snake’s head. The inner drawing features concentric circles, within the largest band of which stylized trees punctuate the landscape, while six human figures interact within the divinely ordered natural space, resting or engaging in various acts of farming. An outer band—the outer portion in solid blue, the inner portion with wavy white lines against the same blue-colored background—is decorated at its edges with various kinds of fish. Inside the lower left corner, inserted between the acanthus-leaf border and the mandala, is a small rectangular drawing within an internal rectangular frame of a woman seated in a chair behind a tilted stand, on which sit two tablets side by side.

Brief day @ the range with a 206-yr-old gun: a US M1819 Simeon North contract horse pistol. Here my son takes a shot. Didn’t hit a damn thing at 25 yds but fun anyway. For historical firearms geeks: .54 smoothbore converted to percussion, firing .525 ball, 30 gr of 3Fg. #gunhistory #firearmshistory

AI companies scanning and shredding old and rare books is bad, but you should be aware that shredding new, old, and used books is an established practice of selling and marketing books. In fact, hundreds of millions of books are shredded every year discretly, and legally, in Europe alone. #booksky
