Apparently, it's #WorldLionDay! A magnificent lion head carved from mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago. Although small in size (H. 2.3 cm), it exhibits remarkable detail. Found at the Vogelherd Cave, located in the Swabian Jura region. On display at Landesmuseum Württemberg

Scenes from the Feast of the Transfiguration celebrations in Syria’s historic town of Maaloula, where mountaintops were illuminated with fires in a centuries-old tradition that defines the city’s unique heritage.

A slightly different #MosaicMonday today. I'm sharing a pic from Ma'arat al-Nu'man in Syria. This was rated as the 2nd best mosaic museum in the world (after the Zeugma museum). 5 of the men in this pic put their lives on the line to protect the exhibits during the war. True Syrian heroes!

BREAKING NEWS — Southern Syria: An Israeli military patrol has set up a checkpoint in the town of Kodana, in the countryside of Quneitra, and is conducting searches of civilians passing through the area. The move constitutes a clear violation of international law.

Vote Reform. Or we will house *dangerous migrant centres* in your village. And if you vote Green, it will be even worse for you. It's beyond disturbing. The chill wind of threat, thuggery and menace of a kind never before seen in Britain.
Today we announce a new policy:


In order to deport all illegal migrants in
Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of
thousands at a time.


Migrants will not be able to leave these
detention centres, and each will be held
there a couple of weeks before being
deported.


So here's our promise:


A Reform government will not put any
migrant detention facilities in any
constituency with a Reform MP.


Nor will we put them where Reform
controls the council.


And of the remaining areas, we will
prioritise Green controlled parliamentary
constituencies and Green controlled
councils to locate the detention centres.


Put simply, if you vote in a Reform
council or Reform MP, we guarantee yPut simply, if you vote in a Reform
council or Reform MP, we guarantee you
won't have a detention centre near you


If you vote Green, there's a good chance
you will,


This is an important exercise in
democratic consent, not just for our
mass deportation policy, but for where
the detention centres are placed


Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates
for open borders, I look forward to their
warm embrace of this policy

An Egyptian surgeon helped restore the face of a Palestinian girl from Gaza after severe explosive injuries during the war. Dr. Mahmoud El-Desouki’s complex reconstruction gave her more than treatment, it gave her hope, dignity, and a chance to live again. #Gaza #Egypt #Palestine
Alt text: A collage of six images highlights a reconstructive surgeon and the results of a complex facial restoration for a young Palestinian woman from Gaza. On the left, a male surgeon in teal scrubs and a patterned surgical cap stands with his arms crossed. On the right and lower panels, the young woman appears in before-and-after views: in the earlier medical photos, she wears a blue surgical cap and gown, with severe visible facial injuries and scarring affecting one side of her face, eye area, cheek, lips, and neck. In the later photos, she wears a beige hijab and smiles softly, showing a significant improvement after surgery, though some scars remain visible. One image shows the surgeon operating in the operating room, wearing a mask and surgical magnifying loupes. Another photo shows a man in white clothing standing outdoors near a building entrance. The collage emphasizes both the surgeon’s work and the patient’s transformation after treatment.

Had a very humbling day today. Visited a mosaic museum in Ma'rat al-Nu'man. The amazing guys from the local archaeology dept risked their lives to protect the mosaics as much as they could during the war, despite barrel bombs from Assad and Russian Airforce bombs. #RealPatriots #Syria #mosaics

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far - POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church?? POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there
screencap of a tweet with a photo at the bottom of JD Vance giving a talk, gesturing smugly with his hands

Eric Daugherty • @EricLDaugh • 1h
• JD VANCE RESPONDS TO POPE LEO:
"When the Pope says that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword - there is more than a THOUSAND year tradition of Just war Theory."

"In the same way that it's important for the vice president of the United States to be careful when I talk about matters of public policy, I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology."

"And I think that one of these issues here is that there has been - if you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth, and that's one of the things that I try to do, and it's certainly something I would expect from the clergy, whether they're Catholic or Protestant."
