This solid gold horizontal oval signet ring shows signs of wear from frequent use as a seal. It is inscribed down the center with Tutankhamun's prenomen, Neb-kheperu-re (the solar disk of Ra atop a scarab with three bars underneath, and a basket); on either side the king is referred to as "beloved of Amun, lord of eternity." The sun disk in the word for "eternity" appears with the pendant sign for "life," which was a common writing of the sign during Akhenaten's reign.
This ring would certainly have belonged to Tutankhamun or used on his behalf to seal important documents. It was purchased in Cairo in 1921, the year before Howard Carter's discovery of the boy king's tomb, and was one of the pieces of evidence of his reign.
Egyptian, New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, ca. 1336β1327.
Met Museum, New York (22.9.3)
This ring at the #MetMuseum caught my eye, because I know the hieroglyphs for #Tutankhamun's throne name (prenomen) ... and there it was in the center of this cartouche. Neb-kheperu-re, 'Lord of the Forms of Ra'. Purchased in Cairo in 1921, the year before Tut's tomb was discovered. πΊ 1/

@joaquincastrotx.bsky.social For my own clarification - deported to their own country or dumped in a Trump prison camp in Texas? I wish there was a better place for these poorly treated people to go. I wish some Americans were better humans.

Puerto Ricoβs energy crisis was originally created by greedy π© who played a penny stock game with its energy and radically drove up prices, making it untenable.

Iβve watched people give up when theyβre only choice is to go into a hospital. My mom was in a 1st floor rehab facility during COVID & my 88 year old dad would take a kitchen stool and sit outside her window for several hours a day. The care was terrible - late meals, which delayed meds.

Itβs the 1918 flu scenario, except it was soldiers jammed together in barracks and ships.
The disease spread quickly around the world, several times.
It killed many millions, many young and healthy.
Today we should know better.

Nope. Itβs interesting that all the years-ago rumors about Epstein being funded by outside government forces are proving to be true.

Halt All ICE Operations: Investigate Deaths And Inhumane Conditions Now
Text SIGN PSBFXZ to 50409 β Despite you lot giving ICE a larger budget than one of the top 3 largest militaries in the world, ICE stopped paying for detainee medical treatment in October.
Nearly doubling (reported, not disappeared) detainees from 2025, ICE has experienced a rash of inmate deaths. 35 that they feel comfortable sharing, but the true numbers may not come to light for years because this administration has intentionally obfuscated records of arrests, transfers, and deportations.
ICE allows abuse, medical neglect, inhumane conditions, starvation, and solitary confinement in their facilities, which is how concentration camps in Germany also started out. Death by negligence and inhumanity came a full decade before the ovens and gas chambers.
Considering you all signed off on the Big Beautiful Bill, they should be more than able to cover things like medical care, food, clothing, and medical staff.
They should be staffed enough to allow detainees due process and attorney privileges, but these constitutional rights have been taken from all of these people, too.
Do not ever again speak about constitutional rights again if you are unwilling to stand up and protect them from clear evil.
Unless you want your legacy to be forever tied to Americaβs deadly concentration camps in history books, halt all ICE operations and investigations and funding immediately.
