#Jesus Christ commanded the wind and the sea to be still and they listened. #God told Moses to speak to a rock and water would be released from the rock but Moses hit the rock with his rod instead. Everything God created is a person, a living being. Humans just can’t fathom it.
@CindyBrunsonAZ@seattlestorm@IndianaFever Last I’ve checked, the event is in support of Sophie Cunningham. Shouldn’t you be directly tagging her instead of attacking Cathy Engelbert?
All sorts of banned items are discovered in luggage by TSA screeners, but cannonballs stolen from a Civil War-era fort are not an everyday find. https://t.co/biz3mzb9Jc
@espnW@chiney They’re using you as low-hanging fruit, @CathyEngelbert. As red meat for slow news cycles. All of this is agenda-driven and nefarious. They believe that all they need is Caitlin and a commissioner who’s a figurehead. Even w/o Caitlin the #WNBA would have YoY growth thx to you.
@espnW@chiney Chiney and @alexaphilippou are industry agenda-driven. They don’t know a thing about finances. These women want @CathyEngelbert to text these players every time they have a cold. They want Cathy to congratulate them for potty training their children. Grow up, people. #WNBA
@espnW@chiney She’s elite at her job. The only players who dislike her R players who have equity in @Unrivaledwbb. The only stakeholders and owners who dislike her R the jealous and envious ones, who know that she’s always the smartest person in the room. They want a pushover. @CathyEngelbert
Today, only around 1% of the Earth’s surface is urbanized and it wouldn’t take long for what we’ve built to be erased. The further back in time a hypothetical civilization existed, the harder it would be to find direct evidence, like objects. https://t.co/jnathkJnxQ
A drawing from Iroquois legends, depicting a "Stone Giant" or "Cannibal" being hunted by Native Americans. The text explains that this figure represents a giant in search of human food, carrying them on its back. The legend describes the Indians waging war on these giants but failing to destroy them, noting they were last seen near Rocky Mountains.
(The figure is identified as a "Stone Giant" or "Cannibal" from Iroquois legends. The drawing dates back to 1776. The text describes a bug war against them, which the Indians lost. The giants were said to be immune to weapons and lived in the New York and Great Lakes region.)
Deep in the forests of what is now New York and the Great Lakes region, Iroquois legends spoke of a dangerous being that lived beyond the reach of the village.
They called him Stone Coat, known among the Seneca as Djodi’kwado’ or Genonsgwa. He was described as a giant cannibal whose body was covered in plates of stone and flint. Ordinary weapons could not harm him. Arrows shattered on impact, and spears struck him like solid rock. Wherever Stone Coat traveled, people avoided the land he passed through.
Stone Coat was not defeated in battle. In the most widely told account, hunters invited him to share a meal. Stones were heated in the fire until they were red hot and then concealed within the food. When Stone Coat swallowed them, the heat fractured his stone covering from the inside, killing him.
Do you think stories like this were inspired by real events or real people, and why do you think so many ancient cultures describe cannibalistic giants?

The remains of at least 117 dogs were found on the grounds of a California “no-kill” animal shelter, many of them with gunshot wounds, authorities said. https://t.co/BpF3sO6heo
