I wish this were printed out and stuck to every office tea room fridge and every pub loo door. It's so damned true.

Gifted is one word.
Agree ADF probs has many of his 'type'. But I anticipate anyone following Andrew Tate & the like would be similar.

IMO its unhelpful to showcase these extreme views. It may be funny to the more evolved viewer, but young folk will be influenced, thinking its ok.

Met Museum photo of an ancient Egyptian board game carved from cream-coloured ivory displayed against a dark background. The original name of the game is unknown. It is now known as ‘Hounds and Jackals’ or the ‘Game of 58 holes’. The game board rests on four bulls' legs. One of the legs, seen at back of the board on the right of photo, is completely restored. Another has a restored hoof (seen at front of the board on left). The board is shaped like an axe head. In the centre of the upper surface is an incised palm tree topped by a ‘Shen’ symbol (a circle atop a a horizontal line to which it is tied). The palm’s trunk runs down the length of the board. There are 58 holes in the upper surface; 29 arranged evenly on either side of the palm tree. At the lower side of the game board there is a drawer with a bolt to store the playing pieces. The playing pieces are made up of ten long pins (sticks) with carved animal heads. Five are hounds and five are jackals. In the photo, the ten pins are arranged randomly in holes on the game board. The board is carved from ivory with ebony detailing around the 58 holes. The pins are ivory. Measurements: Game board: H 6.8cm W 10.1 cm, D 15.6 cm. Hound pins: H 6 cm to 6.8 cm Jackal pins: H 7 cm to 8.5 cm
 The game was excavated in 1910 by Howard Carter from the tomb of an official named Reniseneb at Thebes. The tomb is dated to Dynasty 12, Reign of Amenemhat IV, circa 1814–1805 BC. “Ancient Egyptians likened the intricate voyage through the underworld to a game. This made gaming boards and gaming pieces appropriate objects to deposit in tombs” (The Met).

This Ancient Egyptian board game is almost 4,000 years old!

Known as ‘Hounds and Jackals’ or ‘Game of 58 holes’, its original name is unknown. It’s suggested it was played in a similar way to ‘Snakes and Ladders’.

Here's a lovely suburban sunset from last week. Glorious, gentle yet vibrant colours.

Image shows a classic Australian bushland scene. There is a tall, weathered metal grain silo standing in a dry, grassy field under a bright blue sky. The corrugated silo is cylindrical and has a conical roof. Behind and next to the structure are scattered trees and brush in a bright sunlit landscape.

Good morning. Stay cool.

24 hours of a port wine magnolia flower. Plump bud yesterday and the reward of a lovely delicate flower this morning. And another bud.

Me 2. All round super nice guy. I admire his conviction. And everyone's supporting him to do well.
I haven't seen much of Alcarez at AO yet but last night was comfortable win. He was much less erratic than I recall from last year. I reckon there's scope to improve more.

Sinner/Alcaraz final again?

Not sure if other streaming services have it in Australia.

For anyone looking for a distraction to recent horrific events, I highly recommend this wonderful adaptation.

Ewen Macgregor, & his moustache, excels as a Russian aristocrat - cheeky, funny, flamboyant, sensitive. Other cast members - and 1920s hotel - terrific too.
