Lovely little Romano-British brooch in the form of a hare 😍

The artisan who made this brooch some 1,900 years ago, gave the hare a cheerful little face! Copper alloy decorated with enamel.

If the software that powers a state's unemployment insurance system breaks, there is no sense in which the state has an unemployment insurance program.

In government technology isn't a nice-to-have, it's not a bolt-on—it's the codification and execution of the mission of the agency.

Astoundingly, this colourful clay vase was made between 7,300 and 6,800 years ago! 🤯

A masterpiece of Late Neolithic ceramic art, the decorative elements may well represent woven textile patterns. From Dimini, Thessaly, Greece. National Archaeological Museum, Athens. 📷 by me

it just amazing that a radicalized American shot someone actually responsible for the type of problems he had and not like a school or a mall

If the folks setting up the new government in Syria want some ideas, I've looked into the situation for the last half hour or so and I think I could help. DMs are open.

today we discovered that the revenant is straight married and it is now my mission in life for my nun to be a homewrecker
Ladies is it gay if another woman who's an undead revenant who's tried to murder you twice already promises she'll keep trying until she finally succeeds and you promise her you'll just keep killing her every time she comes

One of the suburbs here is called Little Canada and I like to imagine multigenerational families of Canadians living in rickety apartments in Canadatown with a moose infestation, serving poutine and beavertails out of hole-in-the-wall diners while wearing Canada Goose and saying "eh" a lot

Fishing some 5,300 years ago: a Neolithic fishhook made of wild boar tusk, wrapped with a fishing line. The size of the fishhook is 6.5 cm. It was used to catch pikes.

Found in the lake-dwelling settlement of Arbon Bleiche 3, Switzerland.

On display at Archäologisches Museum Frauenfeld

This was at my dog park and it broke me. In a crowded field of contenders this may be the most cursed cybertruck I’ve ever seen. Maybe the most cursed image full stop. Incontrovertible proof that god is either impotent, indifferent, or illusory.

I know no one is actually hating on worms but I saw no less than five posts calling Singal a worm or leech. But honestly they fill important ecological functions and his only function is to obsequiously torture vulnerable people to serve fascism.

Teacher: Now let's learn regular expressions. Regular expressions are a limited form of computation that can match many kinds of strings, but not parse recursively or execute arbitrary programs.

Student: And ^.?$|^(..+?)\1+$ determines if a number is prime.

it’s actually really fucked up the way everyone is talking about the nypd doing a bad job looking for the shooter. would love to see you try looking for clues when 95% of your mental capacity must remain focused on protecting yourself from fentanyl. and it’s like. not even fun or exciting or cool
