"ICE tactics, already sadistic, are looking increasingly like torture," writes @judith-levine.bsky.social. "The slim avenues to legal recourse and the refusal of transparency or accountability by the perpetrators of de jure and de facto torture are driving detainees to desperate measures..."

This red-figure #pottery cup attributed to the Euergides Painter shows a pup scratching away with a hindleg. The #dog depicted here is likely a Laconian hound, which were the usual hunting dogs used in #Greece. 🐕️ Attic red-figure stemless pottery cup depicting a hound, 510–500 BCE.
You can find this cup on display in Gallery 16, Level G. Ashmolean Museum Collection.

🐨 Brehms Tierleben Leipzig, Bibliographisches Institut, 1911-19- [Source]
Illustration from "Brehms Tierleben," 1911-19, depicting two koalas clinging to a eucalyptus tree branch. The larger koala, likely an adult, grips the branch firmly with sharp claws, while the smaller one, possibly an offspring, holds onto the adult’s back. Both animals have thick, soft-looking fur, rounded ears, and large noses characteristic of koalas. The background shows a few leafy eucalyptus branches, emphasizing their natural habitat. The artwork is detailed and rendered in muted natural tones, capturing the koalas' distinctive textures and arboreal lifestyle. The artist’s signature "J.C.S. Hartig" appears near the bottom right.

After Ernie left, Bert’s life became an amphetamine-fueled whirlwind of after-hours parties, drunken Grindr hook-ups, and multiple arrests for public indecency, finally ending in a stay at the Betty Ford Clinic for “exhaustion” and his membership in the Church of Scientology.
A Bert (from Sesame Street) doll is leaned up against a chain link fence, among strewn trash, next to a large blue dumpster. A bearded man in a blue shirt stands in the background.

Stabbing Guy Meme

the pic is done in a somewhat realistic cartoon/animated style

on the left is a man with brown hair, brown mustache, and orange shirt. he has both arms raised out in front of him as if to ward off or defend against an attacker. this man has text over his head that reads "Me trying not to eat a bunch of cheese"

on the right is another man and he looks like a straight up bad apple. he is wearing blue jeans and a lighter blue 3/4 zip (i am estimating here). he has blonde hair and a blonde goatee but he has the traditional male pattern baldness. he looks to be advancing towards the defending man and in his right hand, he is holding a knife threateningly. this man also has text laid over him that reads "A bunch of cheese"

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.
