Carl Sagan on the ball (again!) Taken way too early :(

Saganism @sagan.bsky.social · May 10

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

From Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

It is that time of year when people start posting #BadAncient memes about Easter. So, to recap like we do each year - Easter has nothing to do with the the goddess Ishtar.

Is Easter named after Ishtar?

Are the Easter celebrations somehow based on the ancient worship of the goddess Ishtar?

It does not look like a happy ChiffChaff! Great pic :)

It cuts out a lot of ducking and diving when town is busy, that's for sure!

#ReliefWednesday
Ornamental Gable-Tiles "Antefixa"

Manufactured in the legionary brickworks and tilery (figlina), these antefixes bear protective and evil-averting emblems.
Late 1st-2nd century AD
