New in PN: Retire in peace
"McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Around 40,000 years ago, someone carved a human body with the head of a cave lion from mammoth ivory. Found in Germany’s Hohlenstein-Stadel Cave, the 31 cm-tall Lion Man is among the oldest known figurative artworks—and proof that imagination has very ancient roots.

Hardly news to #medievalsky, but was reminded yesterday just how good are the medieval galleries at the V&A. Here, for Thursday morning, a mid-12th-century Byzantine falcon bowl.

I always see the most amazing sunrise compositions just before I drive into the trees and lose sight of it all. That’s what happened here, but I turned around, drove back, and caught a pic.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him.
His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time. 
I sued them for wrongful termination and won.
So yes, I know that motherfucker.
