Toot toot! 🐭 🎺 🎉 I’m delighted to reach the milestone of 15,000 followers! Thank you for joining me! Great to see so many of you interested in #Archaeology! Here’s a tiny Roman bronze mouse playing a trumpet! Perhaps too loudly as he’s covering his ear with a paw! 1st-2nd century AD #Archaeology
My photo shows a tiny bronze figurine of a mouse playing a Roman tuba, a long, straight bronze trumpet with a flared bell, used by the Roman military (though not exclusively). The mouse is seen in profile, standing facing left, head tilted upwards playing the trumpet which is held in the mouse’s right paw - right paw not seen in photo. It covers its left ear with its left paw, perhaps the sound of the trumpet is too loud! The figurine is 3.81 centimetres tall. The bronze mouse appears dark grey in colour. Displayed on a thin vertical metal stand on a black plinth against a beige surface and dark brown backdrop.

Small bronze mice statuettes were a very popular motif in Roman times, often attached to oil lamps and lampstands, a reference to the problem of mice gnawing at wicks and drinking lamp oil, a nuisance documented in various ancient texts. They’re often comically shown undertaking human activities out of proportion to their small size, which invoked the Hellenistic and Roman literary and artistic traditions of an ‘inverted world’, as discussed in an article by Philip Kiernan ‘The Bronze Mice of Apollo Smintheus’.

I think I maybe undersold how gross the “prank” played on this employee was. Imagine you come into work, try to help customers, and later realize they've racked up 500,000+ views on social media by harassing you and your coworkers.
In August, Toru Hinkle was stocking shelves at their job at Target when they noticed two customers and asked if they needed any help. The men requested a price check on an item — but even after Hinkle told them the item was $20, the customers asked for the price again and again.

“After a while, I realized that I’m basically being pranked, and I noticed the glasses,” Hinkle says, referring to the frames with a blinking light. They were the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, and the customers were filming. Hinkle eventually called a store manager over, but the pranksters antagonized her, too — asking the price repeatedly, deliberately misgendering Hinkle as “ma’am” and the female manager as “sir.” At one point, Hinkle attempted to stop the recording by saying “Meta, stop recording” out loud, hoping to trigger a voice control setting. The customers pretended to be confused by the accusation that they were recording Hinkle.

The confrontation made Hinkle queasy. “I felt like this pit in my stomach just started to build up,” Hinkle recalls. “After this whole exchange happened, the rest of the shift, I was just quiet and didn’t even talk to anyone because I was just so shaken up by it.” Another customer called the police, Hinkle says, and the two men were escorted out of the store. Target declined to comment.

I don't know how to make it more clear to folks that reviving Comstock is on the table—at least for mail-order medication abortion. Here's Blanche responding to Dick Durbin last month and DOJ's comment to Politico today www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
question from Senator Dick Durbin:
While testifying before the House Appropriations Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight of the Department of Justice on June 2, 2026, you called the Comstock Act an “important law” and said that there is “a lot of effort” within DOJ and “other agencies” to look into this law.
To your knowledge, what components within the Department of Justice and any other federal agencies are currently engaging on the Comstock Act and in what manner?
RESPONSE [from Todd Blanche: Consistent with principles of executive privilege and the confidential nature of the attorney-client relationship, it would be inappropriate to disclose the specific nature of, including participants in, the Department’s non-public, internal deliberations as to interpretations of federal law.

from page 23 here:
https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/98781d53-bdcc-75d8-c507-1b1bca492142/2026-07-15_QFR-Responses_Blanche_687007f1-363d-40d9-b7da-356b52dc448d.pdf#page=23Politico screenshot with one sentence highlighted in blue:
Invoking the Comstock Act, however, could block patients’ access to both pills [mifepristone and misoprostol] through the mail throughout the U.S., though how the government would enforce the 1873 law to stop postal delivery of the medications to private homes remains unclear.

The Biden administration’s Justice Department in 2022 asserted that doctors could not be prosecuted for mailing abortion pills under the Comstock Act, arguing that since both pills are legal in every state for non-abortion purposes — such as treating miscarriages and postpartum bleeding — it wasn’t possible to prove that they were being mailed for an illicit purpose.

The Trump administration has yet to formally overrule that legal opinion. **A Justice Department spokesperson said Monday that the opinion is now undergoing “a thorough review.”**
