Possibly the Pacific Baza was more tolerant of people as it was busy hunting frogs. I didn't even know they did that. #brisbane #birds #wildoz

Editorial: Three years later, it's tempting to think of October 7 as a dark moment in the past. But Israel has never really had the chance to put it there. With unresolved security and still no state commission of inquiry, October 7 remains unfinished business. www.jpost.com/opinion/arti...

Three years after a massacre, how will Israelis put October 7 in the past? | The Jerusalem Post

The war that began on the morning of October 7 remains unresolved. Hamas has not been disarmed; its future in Gaza remains unsettled, and the question of who will govern Gaza remains unanswered.

Political disagreement and advocacy are legitimate parts of civic life. Celebrating terrorism is not. Honoring those responsible for the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust does nothing to advance peace, justice, or understanding. jewishphilly.org/jewish-feder...

As our community prepares to mark the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks, we remember the nearly 1,200 people murdered in Israel on that day. The victims were men, women, and children, many of whom were murdered in their homes or while attending a music festival.

Louise sports an interesting hat in a photo for King of Gamblers (1937). Director Robert Florey promised Louise a minor role but all of her scenes were deleted. She remained bitter at what she thought was Paramount humiliating her as revenge for her being “difficult.” (Thread)

In 1965, Louise wrote a letter that noted her experience with Florey and making King of Gamblers (1937): “this St. Francis of the destitute actresses expected to get laid. When I would not cooperate he treated me like a criminal.”

The author looks like a writer of popular history, which makes this potentially a refreshing change-of-pace from the academic-oriented books on Lupino that have been published in recent years. No publication date mentioned. So is this not yet written?

Anfor @anforsorrow.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Hello gang! Today I bring you a special issue of #anforscorner, in which I'm showing you how to play Senet, one of the most popular board games in Ancient Egypt! The original rules are long lost, so this is one of many modern interpretations. #comic #art #furry #avian #anthro #history #egypt #senet

"Anfor's Corner - How to play (Modern) Senet (1/2)"

Senet (meaning “Passing”) was a very popular board game in Ancient Egypt. Game boards and depictions of the game have been found throughout Ancient Egyptian history, but the rules have been lost. These rules are a modern reconstruction, which may or may not be accurate.

A Senet board consists of 30 squares (or "Houses"), divided into three rows. Each player has 5 pieces (10 in some variations). One player has cone-shaped pieces, and the other has spool-shaped pieces. To win, a player must move all five of their pieces across the Senet board and remove them before the other player can. At the start of the game, all the pieces are in the top row of the board, alternating between spools and cones. The pieces move from left to right on the top row, then right to left on the second row, then left to right on the bottom.

Instead of dice, Egyptians would use throw sticks. These have one light, flat side and one rounded, darker side. In this reconstruction, four sticks are thrown simultaneously. The number of sticks with the light side facing up determines how many spaces can be advanced. If all four sticks have the dark side facing up, a 5 is rolled (or the turn is lost in other versions). In some variations, rolling a 1, 4, or 5 grants a re-roll.

Two pieces cannot occupy the same square. If your piece lands in the same square as a lone opponent’s piece, you can capture it, by swapping places with your opponent’s piece. You can protect your piece by placing it next to one or more of your own pieces. This prevents your opponent from capturing your piece and forces them to move backwards if they have to.

"Anfor's Corner - How to play (Modern) Senet (2/2)"

There are six special Houses in a Senet board:
A - House 15 is the “House of Life”. Some versions use it as a safe square, but in general it will be used later.
B - House 26 is the “House of Happiness”. All pieces have to land on that square, and can’t advance until they did, being forced to go backwards if needed.
C - House 27 is the “House of Water”. This is a bad House, if you land here the piece has to move back to House 15, the “House of Life”, or to the first empty House preceding it.
D - House 28 is the “House of Three Truths”. If a piece lands here it can only move and leave the board if the player rolls a 3. In some variations it can’t be captured here.
E - House 29 is the “House of Re-Atoum”. If a piece lands here it can only move and leave the board if the player rolls a 2. In some variations it can’t be captured here.
F - House 30, the final one, is the “House of Horus”. If a piece lands here it can only move and leave the board if the player rolls a 1.

There are numerous modern reconstructions and variations of this game; this is just one of them. Have fun!

A terrorist bombed a Jewish preschool in MI. Had security not stopped him at the entrance, the bomb would have killed 140 toddlers instead of just destroying the entrance. AES justified the bombing with "hurt peolple hurt people" Obama is campaigning for him and ONLY him. F that.
