My photo collage shows four images of Roman-era clear-glass cups painted with colourful enamel decoration depicting animals from the Roman Arena. Known as ‘circus cups’, fourteen of which have been found in richly-furnished ‘princely’ graves in Denmark. Dated AD 200s.
The top two images show two sides of the same cup. Top left: a brown lion with shaggy mane, its front and rear legs outstretched as if running at full speed. Top right: a green spotted leopard. Out of shot, a blue goat is being hunted down by the lion and the leopard.
Bottom left: fragmentary glass cup decorated with a light brown lion with shaggy mane. Nose and lips outlined in black.
Bottom right: image of a gladiator with green leggings and blue shield, and in front of him a large brown bear.

Este can es el protagonista de un popular trabalenguas, y cuenta la leyenda que le salvó la vida al santo

Interested in the pronunciation of Roque and Job on this week's show. Perhaps you could learn the tongue twister.

2,800 men* get breast cancer in USA every year
Uncommon but not rare. Nearly 1% of breast cancer cases has a "Y" chromosome and 10% of those have Klinefelter syndrome (XXY)
And now Donald Trump wants to stop them getting treatment 'because of wokeness'

What Tech Calls Thinking — AdrianDaub.com
What can a German studies and gender studies professor have to say about tech and thinking? Quite a bit! Well-written and insightful, with a bit of SV "inside baseball" thrown in. The quotes at the bottom of this page are surprisingly accurate. #BookReview
