A charming #Egyptian drawing of a #cat acting as a servant to a #mouse. Drawings of animals acting as people were meant as satire of the society and politics.
Dating 13th/12th century BC, probably from Deir el-Medina, #Egypt.

This eejit tried to touch noses with a fair few bumble bees when she was a pup… it’s a wonder she didn’t get stung! 🤣🤦♀️🤷♀️
For shame.
Corporate America - wherever it operates - regularly uses "restructuring" to get rid of the people it doesn’t like, doesn’t want, the ones who would hold it to account. Precisely as a means of beating court cases.
I stand with her.

For some reason I’m immediately reminded of Westminster…
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

If any nation on Earth should know better…
You won't own any property by the time you retire. And there won't be any white-collar jobs to pay your rent. In some rare good news, we're increasing the retirement age while life expectancy is actually going down, so you won't need a pension anyway.
Unsolicited writing advice, no: 175:
No-one ever promised it would be easy. Anyone telling you otherwise is trying to sell you something.
Honesty would be a prerequisite for that… 🙄
No principles, no morality, no information, no expertise, just endlessly appeasing Trump, Putin, Netanyahu and assorted billionaires and foreign oligarchs or chasing the next headline, until suddenly colliding with reality. Bang, oof.

👍👍 Take it easy!
PS how are you doing today?
Same.
There’s an old saying in politics that everyone starts out with a liberal outlook in their youth, becoming more conservative with maturity.
Bollocks.
That attitude is precisely what’s wrong with our society. It can be summed up in one word: greed. I’m getting steadily more lefty with age! 🔥
Minimalism. 😋
You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

This 6,000-year-old necklace offers a glimpse into the artistry of the Neolithic Schussenried culture in southwest Germany.

And this morning the Shed is a carving, deep in the bark of an ancient tree…
