A painted #Etruscan terracotta cinerary urn lid with a reclining woman.
Found in Chiusi, dating 150-120 BC.
It was on display at the Badisches Landesmuseum Karlsruhe, which will be closed for the next couple of years.

Is it about time that someone told @wiltshiremuseum.bsky.social that their "Tourmaline stone axe" is actually made of cheese?

This is cool. And interesting to see things like the AoNZ parrots splitting off about 40 million years ago, while the New Zealand Falcon split of around 5 million.

That clockwise swirl east of the country has been a constant feature on satellite over the past few days, driving the run of showery southwesterlies over the country
A change arrives on Wednesday, but this loop shows just how long it's lingered😵💫

Well, that wasn't a nice work day. I would like a word with the manager.

Often appalled by the sheer self entitlement of people. The "He got one, I want two!", mentality prevalent in establishment. I suppose it all derives from a colonial past. Gimme, gimme, gimme!

They call it "pulling a Vatican"
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Two million Aucklanders sheltered from the rain, indoors, washing their smalls.
The social, cultural and economic centre on AoNZ is taking a holiday, today. We sit back, relax and watch, as the rest of NZ slowly wilts without the full radiance of our glory. Happy Auckland Anniversary.

In my ongoing attempts to give you a break from *gestures widely* THE HORRORS:
Let's talk about the utterly bizarre science of cats' purring.
Here's a weird starting point:
There are NO cats (Felidae) that can BOTH roar AND purr.
Cats that roar = genus Panthera
Cats that purr = genus Felis

Today I learned “Norwegian Christian laws forbade citizens from conversing with and interacting with trolls, and in documents dating from 1274 to 1781, doing so would result in severe punishment” (source: Wikipedia), and I kinda think many people nowadays would be better off if this law was revived
