Sword Hilt • Donegal • c.2000 years old
This bronze sword hilt was found by fishermen in the harbour at Ballyshannon, Donegal.
It has similarities with Iron Age examples from the 1st century BC from France and Yorkshire.
You can see it on display in the Treasury of @nmireland.bsky.social

Some people vocally oppose using ‘data’ and ‘panini’ as singular nouns, saying they come from plural nouns.
That’s true, but that also goes for ‘marvel’ and ‘joy’: they used to be plural too.
And ‘cherries’ and ‘peas’ used to be singular.
Zoom in to learn all about this phenomenon: reanalysis.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

The public inquiry into the Iraq War was as damning as it’s possible to be within this system. The parliamentary report on Libya tore the government a new arse. Both of them were instantly thrown in the bin and never mentioned again, in favour of inviting the culprits on TV and giving them peerages.

By Zionist 'logic' (gas-lighting), boycotting apartheid South Africa from 1959 to 1993 made you anti-white rather than anti-apartheid, and the boycott of goods from Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1941 made you anti-German, rather than anti-Nazi... #BoycottIsrael

A new investigation revealed that school districts and local governments are reportedly overpaying for supplies because of Amazon contracts that bind them to dynamic pricing.
Rather than allow for competitive bidding, the deals “covertly raise prices and inflate costs for governments.”

The fact that so many of the western world's extraordinarily rich and powerful men were so keen to travel repeatedly to child rape facilitator Jeffrey Epstein's 'party island' almost certainly reflects the excellent canapés he laid on, rather than any other 'service' he might 'procure'.
None of the newly-released photographs of rich & powerful men enjoying the company of notorious paedophile & child sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein imply any wrong-doing on the part of those rich & powerful men. They are all, probably, just a bad judge of character with very poor peripheral vision.

I find it "amusing" that with all of Trump's grousing about the so called autopen making anything Joe Biden did illegal, because "he didn't know what hell he was signing", Trump routinely pardons people without really knowing anything about them, making him, in a sense, a (barely) sentient autopen.
