The unbearable lightness of being #Nero. For a belated #FrescoFriday, this delicate #fresco survives from his #DomusTransitoria. Surviving examples beneath the Cœnatio Jovis confirm the missing parts held blue glass hemispheres to reflect the adjacent #nymphæum.

The wider message of this will be interpreted as 'don't purchase from America - buy European, or make your own'. https://t.co/700jstWYqA

The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before the restrictions. The speeds are now where they need to be. The restoration began overnight, and by this morning, speeds were already sufficient. This matters: for our frontline logistics, for defending Ukraine against jet-powered “shaheds.”

I thank all Americans and all our partners who took this seriously and truly helped – members of Congress, senators, all the media, the State Department, and the President. Protecting lives matters.

@davided41633250 @aniketos0 Possibly not, as I feel that you are bound to come up with Alexander, in the (unlikely) event that I could come up with more that £80...?

@Pericles494BC @todbooklady @ThomasHammerich @fugitiveink @Donna8Star @CathyRLowe @yoda2035 Golly, that was quick! - did you buy it?

[The Frame Blog @TheFrameBlogX]

@EHChalus Definitely both of those...😐

[The Frame Blog @TheFrameBlogX]

@caputmundiHeidi Yes - my breath, but evidently not that of the ice-cream lickers...

Good news!
Built in 1935 in the Streamlined Moderne style, 26 Old Hall Road in Salford UK, is now protected with Grade II listed status. According to @HistoricEngland the Streamlined Moderne style is Art Deco’s cousin popularised in part by the 1934 Empire Exhibition.

@AdeTinniswood She may be trying to avoid X-rays and alien emanations... cats know things.

@restalrig He's quite a skinny Hercules... evidently there isn't much available protein in this particular wood.

[The Frame Blog @TheFrameBlogX]

@davided41633250 @aniketos0 That sounds fair... although I don't have either Alexander or the money, so not sure how much of a deal that is?

[The Frame Blog @TheFrameBlogX]

@aniketos0 Tee hee!

[The Frame Blog @TheFrameBlogX]

@aniketos0 Thank you; that's very helpful. I shall have to work on my cat-burgling skills...
