Found #Digger endlessly fascinating. Worth watching despite its favourite mode of expression being "shouting at the top of its voice"

It’s 186 years to the day since a man called Thomas O’Conor wrote a report about a stone figure on a church in Kiltinane, County Tipperary. This would be unremarkable were it not for what the statue looked like, because this was the first written use of the term Sheela-na-gig
The Kiltinane churchSheela Na Gig – a strange, naked, stone female figure, with one hand raised, and the other holding open her vulva

Just watched a video on abandoned Georgia, showing some spectacular, crumbling Soviet-era landmarks. Nugzar Manjaparashvili's "Peace" monument is particularly haunting. www.flickr.com/photos/ste_p...
Nugzar Manjaparashvili's "Peace" monument, a highly stylised representation of a woman, lying on her side with her arms outstretched and her palms raised. The concrete used to form the monument is heavily weathered, several of the figure's fingers have broken off and there are holes dotted about the main form which expose the metal structure beneath.

Repost with an image of your favourite James Bond (wrong answers only)
Peter Davison and Nicola Bryant, in a curious promotional image for Doctor Who taken around 1983/84.
Davison is wearing a black tuxedo and bow tie and striking a classic James Bond pose. Nicola is wearing a bikini.
Picture captures precisely the moment Davison decided he'd had enough of JNT's gimmicks.

Always bears repeating: how seismic a figure like Jimmy Somerville was in the 80s. Just fiercely defiant and unapologetically joyous. #totp

Remember the woman who decided it was funny to troll Canadians with a custom made "Lake of America" shirt? Her new LinkedIn status is "looking for work."
We are reaching out to inform you that Jane Smith is no longer an employee of Family First Credit Union, effective immediately.  Jason Acosta, our Chief Operations Officer is now serving as our interim CEO.

Many of you may be aware of a recent social media incident involving Ms. Smith.  We sincerely apologize for the concern, disappointment and pain this situation may have cause our members and the broader community.  From the outset, the Board's intention has been to review this matter thoroughly, follow the appropriate legal and organization protocols, and lead with transparency, integrity and accountability.  We understand the responsibility entrusted to us and have worked carefully to determine the course of action that best protects the Credit Union, our members and the community we serve.

As an institution built on trust, integrity and mutual respect, all employees must model the values and policies expected of our credit union.  When actions fail to meet those standards and cause disruption to our community relationships and business interests, the Board has a responsibility to act in the best interest of the credit union and the members we serve.
Like our sweat shirts? Not sure Canada will. Lol lol

buttondown.com/cooray_smith... I've had what might be a new, and possibly even significant, thought about Doctor Who's late 1980s cancellation. This is a free subscribers e-mail, and free to read on the site too, but if you agree, why not become a paid subscriber? Or indeed, even if you don't.

Fan mentality never fails to surprise me: in the face of AI possibly bringing about significant change, there are still Doctor Who heads more anxious if this means they won't get any more recreations of missing episodes.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was born on this day in 1797.
The 4 panel Anakin/Padme meme, but Anakin has been replaced by Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive version). In the 1st panel, Frankenstein says "My name is Frankenstein, but I'm a scientist." The 2nd panel has Padme asking "So, you're not actually the monster, right?". The 3rd panel shows a close-up of Frankenstein smiling. The last panel has a concerned Padme saying "You're not the monster, right?".
