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. 1336–1327. 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. 🏺 1/

I wrote a proposal for a game console and showed my friend Kevin. Now all this fucking mess (waves hands around wildly).

Can you adopt me and train me?

I have been asked 59 times now, due to this @deantak.bsky.social article, if I believe @xbox.com is dead.

No.

I love Xbox as my own flesh and blood. It’s the most wonderful thing to me. The distress it’s in kills me, haunts me.

But progress requires introspection and realism. Learning is pain.

Super cool.

I am getting lots of happy ultima underworld nostalgia. 👊❤️

a beautiful thread that I very much needed today!

A small slice of heaven.

I’m in England, in a field of Barley. Today, I’m going to collect wild yeast under that tree back there, and I’m going to show how to feed and grow it until it’s ready to bake with. We are going to start at the very beginning, and end at the end.

It may take two semesters.

It turns out that some news outlets, and I know this is shocking, will misquote and quote out of context. All one can do is recommend that you go read the actual interview. I succeeded in giving my thoughts; I can’t control them failing to communicate them accurately.

Also, it is accurate to say it’s dying. It needs to be saved. The issue is, by whom and how. Satya has chosen. Now we see if it works, and simultaneously if his intent was to save it or to absorb it into something else.
