A figurine of a hartebeest, made of flint, found in a cemetery at Hierakonpolis. It dates to the Naqada II period, 3650–3450 BC. The Naqada culture was a Chalcolithic Predynastic Egyptian culture. Hierakonpolis is a major site for studying this period. On display at Neues Museum Berlin. 📷 me 🏺

A flint figurine shaped like hartebeest. The objcet is brown and has a rough, chipped texture. It is mounted on a display with metal supports, casting a shadow that emphasizes its form.

Germany’s shift to the far right merrily continues. The state election of Saxony-Anhalt has almost given the Nazi-affiliated local AfD Party an absolut majority. Old (70+) voters had the lowest far right votes while Gen X and Millennials voted majority for the far right.

Does anyone recognize this photo? The label on the back indicates it was taken about 1930, and the print is from 2013. It's very large. Apologies for the poor photo - very hard to take it without reflections.

Pitta of the Day: Blue-rumped Pitta 📷 Jimmy Yao

Photo of bird perched on ground, description from ebird: ‘Shy, earthen-toned groundbird with a rotund, barrel-chested appearance. Both sexes are brown overall with a mossy green back and electric powder-blue nape; the female is much duller than the male, with less extensive blue and green on the upperparts. Face is warm gray-brown--paler than the dirt-brown underparts. Otherwise similar Blue-naped Pitta has no blue on the crown, no blue rump, and a browner face without gray tones. Song is a simple, barbet-like series of widely-spaced “choo” notes.’

There's two possibilities here :- 1) Upston is lying. 2) Upston can't even competently manage her office. Neither option should give confidence that she is a fit person to have ministerial responsibility for a large, complex & extremely sensitive portfolio like Social Development. #nzpol
