Here’s a fuller view of the mosaic floor in the women’s changing room (apodyterium) at the Central Baths in Herculaneum. The monochrome floor mosaic depicts a marine scene featuring the spectacular octopus together with the sea god Triton, a cherub, dolphins, and a squid.

My goodness, Jasmine Crockett reached all the way back to the founding fathers to wallop the shit out of Kristi Noem and her gestapo ICE thugs.

I will miss watching Crockett drag these fools, she is FANTASTIC. 👏🏽

Did you know that in 1518, Michelangelo illustrated his own shopping list because his servant couldn’t read? The list is written on the back of a letter and preserved in the Casa Buonarroti Museum in Florence.

Now if they could only sequence the DNA of the sourdough starter.

Archaeologists in Switzerland have uncovered a remarkable 4900 year-old wooden baking peel at Olzreute-Enzisholz, dating back to around 2897 BC.

Carved from maple wood and preserved in waterlogged, oxygen-free conditions, this tool remains almost intact an extraordinary survival from prehistoric times. Far from being a simple implement, the peel was designed to slide bread and pastries in and out of ovens, showing that early Bronze Age communities practiced advanced and nuanced culinary techniques.

Its craftsmanship reveals not only practicality but also an appreciation for aesthetic beauty, with smooth curves and refined details reflecting both skill and artistry.

This discovery challenges the outdated notion of prehistoric humans as merely struggling for survival. Instead, it highlights them as creative innovators and culinary artisans, whose ingenuity laid the foundations for the societies we know today. The peel is more than a tool it is proof of prehistoric sophistication.

Ooops. Premature attackulation. Miller didn't know that the brown shirts were held up in customs because of tariffs on India.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. The plan wasn’t to be made public. Clearly someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Ancient marble thrones located at the Amphiareion of Oropos in Greece 🇬🇷

The Amphiareion was a sanctuary dedicated to the hero Amphiaraos, who was revered for his prophetic and healing abilities. The sanctuary was a popular destination for pilgrims seeking oracular responses and healing.

The site includes the remains of a temple, a stoa, and a small theatre.
The marble thrones, known as prohedria, were seats of honor for priests and other important individuals in the theatre. The sanctuary flourished particularly during 4th Century BC.
