The coalition of evil,
Israel and America destroyed the UNESCO-listed Golestan Palace in Tehran—once a shimmering "Rose Garden" of intricate mirrors and 18th-century art.

It now lies covered in the shattered glass of its own walls.

@Pisceanaa @twixtwyla @realMaalouf @grok Look up the Hapsburg royal family. They had very visible issues from inbreeding. And its also very prevalent in the middle-east where women are not allowed to met men outside their direct family before they marry.

A great typically British take on the state of our roads.
Very funny but sadly true. Where is all of the tax money going ? Not on repairing potholes that’s for sure. Please share

Now wait a minute, what’s this? The amalgamation of two great movies, sort of. Can you guess which two?

We all knew australia would eventually have to resort to this. Better start training them as in 2 weeks we will run out of fuel.

@MarcellMar27803 @Ausbobsmit Easier said than done. Especially if you are on a low income. It's always been the deposit, not the repayments that is the killer.

@Ausbobsmit @Kaz28s @VDejan0000 It went pear shaped long before Albanese. This dates all the way back to Howard. But all the pollies are feeding at the housing trough. They have a massive conflict of interest and no real interest in solving the problem. In a "free market" negative gearing would not exist.

Thank you all for your interest in the black gauze crown adorned with gold, pearls, and gemstones worn by the Wanli Emperor, as well as in his turbulent life.

In the 1950s, archaeologists discovered three crowns inside Wanli's coffin. The one introduced yesterday was found resting on his head; the other two were placed in boxes beside his head. Of these two, one was also based on black gauze, though its craftsmanship was slightly inferior to the one previously discussed. The other, however, does not appear in any historical records and any other archeological discoveries, to this day, a unique and singular example in China: a crown made entirely of gold.

Nothing about this crown behaves the way gold should.

This crown is 24 centimeters high, with a diameter of 20.5 centimeters, and weighs a total of 826 grams. From top to bottom, it was hand-woven from 852 gold wires, each only 0.2 millimeters in diameter. Owing to the extraordinary skill of the artisans, the woven patterns are evenly spaced and uniformly dense, with no visible knots in between, giving the crown an appearance as light and delicate as gauze.

The gold crown also features two dragons playing with a pearl motif. The golden dragons are vivid and powerful in form, conveying great majesty. The dragon heads, bodies, claws, and other components were fabricated separately and then assembled through overall soldering. The dragon scales alone number 8,400 pieces.

The leading expert on the Ming Tombs told me that after careful examination, he could find no trace of soldering seams. When I asked how such perfection was possible, he answered simply: the work was done so well that nothing remained to be seen. He further speculated that this crown may have been worn by Wanli during hot weather, as its structure would have been more breathable than crowns made with black gauze.

Here are four photographs I took myself. Let's examine them together and see if any trace emerges.

Gold is meant to be heavy.

Yet this crown feels as light as the wind.

Perhaps this is the most truthful metaphor of Wanli's life.

Incredible footage from the perspective of wild mountain goats with cameras attached—they're literally flying without wings. https://t.co/wYzEqjpwQW

Christopher Lee served in the British secret service during World War II, so he immediately knew Peter Jackson’s portrayal in this moment was incorrect.

@photo5065 the amazing levitating bowl. The cat does NOT carry it to her in it's mouth. More AI rubbish.

Margot Robbie really did Harley Quinn’s insane handcuff escape stunt in The Suicide Squad. She grabbed the key with her toes, flipping backwards, and put it in the lock. James Gunn said: “I was like, oh my God. Her face is covered, but it’s actually her.”

In the UK, taking a train, in first class, meant you might find yourself riding with the Queen.

She typically used just four seats, with two more for her detectives, leaving the rest of the carriage open to the public - who were invariably astonished to encounter her accompanied by so modest a security presence.

@VanGoghTrader @DesireeAmerica4 Look at the trees and the side of the road they are driving on. This is an Aussie idiot. Everyone has problem people like this on the road.
