Everyone involved in the publication and promotion of this book should be embarrassed. It's not a "harsh truth" that COVID mitigation was a mistake, it's ghoulish and false.

This is just a note to say
that I have eaten the falcon
in a widening gyre
and that you were probably saving for anarchy
Forgive me
it was delicious
so rough
and full of passionate intensity

I smile that the majority of reposts of this reference painting Warhammer minis. I suspect anyone who’s ever painted Warhammer minis can see why the reconstructions of statues paint is likely flawed.
I admit, I’d love to see modern mini painters given old paints and set to work on them.

Were classical statues painted horribly?

It is often suggested that modern viewers dislike painted reconstructions of Greek and Roman statues because our taste differs from that of the ancients. This essay proposes an alternative explanation.

Doesn’t feel good that the head of BBC News Content is instructing reporters to refer to trans people with slurs. If this leak is real it raises questions about who made this decision, who was consulted, and why the BBC chose to ignore its own editorial guidelines on slurs and offensive language

The BBC has circulated leaked guidance telling journalists to describe trans women as “biological males”.
Clarity should not come at the cost of dignity. #bbc #humanrights #journalism #transparency #transrights
