Admittedly I’m biased, but this was art directed by @tracebeaulieu.bsky.social, and I think he and his amazing crew did a great job designing and building the new @mst3kofficial.bsky.social reboot. youtu.be/_plBSQv2ibw?...

Dolly's generosity of spirit alongside her countless millions given away shows us just how small and disgusting the the techbros really are. They could help to repair the world and instead they are stripping the copper off the wires.

My favorite depiction of the Trojan Horse, and the earliest known version. I love the windows, like an airplane, and that the windows go up the neck too.
Trojan horse depicted on the Mykonos vase ca. 675 BC, so around the time of the Odyssey and Iliad. Found with human bones inside (like the horse!) and now in the Archaeological Museum of Mykonos. Image shows the horse with little windows in its side so you can see the men waiting inside.

awihog "I asked chatgpt" "I asked grok" ok well I asked fbi special agent fox mulder and he said that his theory is chatgpt is powered by a historical demon referenced in two (2) twelfth century texts that he actually believes is an alien taking the form of technology in order to assimilate better with the modern world and dana scully was also there and she just put her head in her hands and sighed

There are multiple live puffin cams on YouTube and not enough people are aware of this. But they should be.

This one is fun if you like endless puffin noises.

A gray bird with barely any tail perches in a plant. It has the big pouty mouth baby birds have and is clearly very young.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.
Image for a 1999 tv show called "Good vs Evil". IMDB describes it as "Heavenly agents of the "Corps" fight against demonic Morlocks in Hollywood." I loved this show so much.

The Strickland Brooch, AD 800s.

A fabulous example of Anglo-Saxon creativity and craftsmanship!

This large silver disc brooch is inlaid with gold and niello, and decorated in ‘Trewhiddle-style’ with an intricate pattern of puppy-like animals.

📷 British Museum

#Archaeology
The British Museum photo shows a large silver disc brooch, known as the Strickland Brooch. It is made of silver inlaid with gold and niello (a black metallic alloy). The surface of the brooch has intricately carved Trewhiddle-style decoration. Trewhiddle style is a distinctive Anglo-Saxon style of ornamentation, particularly for metalwork, that includes the use of silver, niello inlay, and intricate, animal, plant and geometric designs. This style takes its name from the Trewhiddle Hoard from Cornwall. The Strickland Brooch brooch has a central cruciform (cross-shaped) design with a silver boss (dome) at its centre. Each of the four arms of the cruciform design end with an identical animal head. The cruciform design sits within a quatrefoil, that is a shape similar to a four-petalled flower. At the point where two petals join, there is an animal head, making four in total, identical to the four animal heads of the cruciform shape. All the heads were once set with blue glass eyes. The surface of the compartments formed between the animal heads, is decorated with collared puppy-like Trewhiddle-style beasts. Four silver bosses are arranged evenly around the perimeter of the brooch. The outer edge of the brooch is bordered by a fine beaded rim. Brooch diameter : 11.2 cm.

We've had a busy week welcoming new members into our herd. 🥳

This wee one was born on Thursday night and by Friday morning could already outrun herder Lotti. Luckily, his mum was very relaxed and he soon realised that there was nothing to be afraid of! 🤩

The particles in the foreground are bits of dust and ice or cosmic rays effects.

The "waterfall" of points moving in the background are stars.

On display in the #Novium Museum #Chichester

Customised with two crescentic openwork crests, this was undoubtedly one of the blingiest hats in the British Iron Age

Pretty pink flowers against a green background of leaves from a big bush at a rest stop in MI's Upper Peninsula. Image search tells me it's Crown Vetch (Securigera varia).

Of course there were horses :)
