I know I'm just a photographer in the Inner Hebrides but if it's clear to me that snatching Greenland creates geopolitical instability & a hemorrhaging of trust in the USA, maybe even sanctions. You would hope that the Trump Regime will figure that out too...

Scholars thought this 14th-century B.C.Hittite silver fist was a drinking vessel. But one archaeologist thinks the fist is, well, a fist. Specifically, of the weather god Tarhuna, from a statue that’s since been lost.

It’s rare to find a complete Celtic battle trumpet—called a carnyx—so a recent discovery at a construction site in England stirred excitement. Archaeologists also excavated a bronze boar head and five shield bosses at the spot.

A nation’s citizens cannot allow the open execution of a woman in broad daylight, in full view of cameras, whilst the regime tells you to deny what you saw with your own fucking eyes.
A more obvious crossroads has rarely ever been reached.

The enduring lesson of Jan 6th is that there is no bottom to current reality. It proved that the most heinous treasonous acts had no consequences. That those who knew better willfully killed their conscience for 1 more tiny sliver of power. It’s a dark day to remember & reconciling it is even harder

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

At a site in Ukraine, Ice Age people built structures from mammoth bones and tusks. Archaeologists have dated the bones in one to around 18,000 years ago—it was likely used as shelter from the harsh cold.
