The thing to look for when looking at war elephant artwork are the 'ankusa' - distinctive elephant hooks which mahouts carry to control the elephant. Often those guys and their hooks are simply...left out.

Palaeographic suggestions? This boxed letter is found in a late-12th c Aristotelian MS. Did someone see a similar use? I have an idea about its meaning, but I cannot remember anything of the kind (MS Avranches, BM, 221, f. 13r)

No, you don't gotta hand it to him for possibly getting the third Biden cease fire eight months late after tolerating a mass starvation campaign and demanding a little ethnic cleansing and enormous bribes as a treat, and only because Netanyahu surprise bombed the chief bribe facilitator.

If we must do a comparison of which American president did a better job securing the release of Israeli hostages, the answer is Joe Biden.
Biden's cease-fires got 135 living hostages released. Trump's got 20 (which is less than it would have been had he enforced the continuation of the January cease fire).

It's Michaelmas, so it's also the anniversary of the battle of Auray (1364), which marked the beginning of the end of the Breton War of Succession begun 23 years earlier. And you know what? Let's mark it with a 🚨BOOK GIVEAWAY🚨 this time! (Charles de Blois has never had a stranger memorial...)

At what point do we all just have to assume that the Royal Society is happy to be associated with white supremacists and fascists?

Nationalism— the idea that there is a natural unity among an ethnoracial people speaking a single language— is young but thoroughly taken for granted today. It is tied directly to the idea that the national unity creates an inherent right to a bounded territory claimed by the state. It must go.
Also, even the idea of a single national identity for most European countries is relatively new, despite the claim of these "ancient nations."
As of 1794, only 11% of people in France spoke French as a first language, and nearly half didn't speak French or spoke it poorly.

This made me laugh. The United States is almost a century older than Italy!

UK gender pay gap underestimated for two decades, report says
Findings suggest since 2004 ONS failed to properly account for fact it received more data from larger employers
The UK’s gender pay gap has been underestimated for more than 20 years, according to research that could raise fresh questions about the quality of data used to inform key pay decisions across the UK.
The findings, released in the British Journal of Industrial Relations on Monday, suggest that, since 2004, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) had failed to properly account for the fact that it received more data from larger employers, when it reported its annual survey of hours and earnings (Ashe).
