This jar stands at an impressive height of 75 cm. The painted decoration depicts an octopus, swimming in an abstract seascape. The jar comes from the Minoan palace at Knossos, on the island of Crete, and was created in the 15th century BCE.

IN THE event of a
catastrophic oil-spill at sea,
haven't the likes of Shell and BP
considered throwing a load of
sliced mushrooms on the slick?
Them bastards hoover up all the
oil in the pan when I'm trying to

Not everything depends on you-- & that's the good news.

Our trauma conditioning will try to convince us everything is our fault & everything is our responsibility-- but you need to know that's the aftereffects of neglect, criticism, & past no-win situations talking. Not reality.

A ballet dancer ~ Anna Pavlova ~ suspended in mid-air. The dancer, wearing a dark tutu and a headdress, is held aloft by thick ropes that are attached to three large, bats. The ballerina has one leg extended and her arms outstretched. The scene is set against a blurred, dark green and brown background of trees and hills.

A Nobel story just popped up on one of my memories feed things. Still makes me laugh.

"They're like, 'Sir, there's something in your bag.'
I said, 'Yes, I think it's this box.' They said, 'What's in the box?' I said, 'a large gold medal, as one does.
So they opened it up and they said, 'What's it made out of?' I said, 'gold.'
And they're like, 'Uhhhh. Who gave this to you?'
"The King of Sweden.'
"Why did he give this to you?'
Because I helped discover the expansion rate of the universe was accelerating.'

Do you remember in April 2024 when there was INSANE footage of two cavalry horses that had spooked, thrown their riders and were GALLOPING through London covered in blood? Well, both horses were caught and made a full recovery and the one of the left, Vida, an old boy, has just been retired.

If only there were people who could go around and find out what the reality is, and then perhaps report on it back to everyone. They could even publish their reporting in print or online, and possibly even make a business out of keeping folk informed about what's happening in the world. If only.
