An ancient Roman statue of an Egyptian deity, Anubis, carved in a naturalistic Roman style, but basically showing a human body with a jackal's head.
"The Romans co-opted, syncretized, and melded so many deities." Perhaps, most famously this one, from the Vatican Museums.

I have only just recently started digging into data centres and water, and the way companies are hiding vital information is beyond belief. It is so, so dodgy.
The entire project to widely popularise the idea these concerns are "fake" makes so much sense in this context
Struggling to think of a US military mission where the rationale was so poorly explained, incoherent and inconsistent, where planning for the next day was so shambolic, and where the ultimate aim was so ill-thought out. My latest at History Never Ended:

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Hey, remember how we let a nazi near-trillionaire annihilate the US state capacity? I know it was a whole year ago, but it turns out that this has consequences beyond "murdering 14 million people by ending USAID" (which apparently no one cared about).

Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.
Dettaglio di una foto di una scultura in legno. Si vede forme come foglie ammassate in un telaio.
Caspita ! Ho fatto una cosa molto simile in una mia scultura: Stesse foglie, stesse forme.
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson says
"Khamenei was the one guy in Iran that blocked for 36 years Iran's ability to develop a Nuclear Weapon,the one man who stood in the way & said,we will not build a nuclear weapon.
That's the guy the United States killed..What the hell man
Rich James, from Crikey; "The Economist’s Middle East correspondent Gregg Carlstrom points out that Trump’s rhetoric to numerous publications has changed continuously over the past two days. “He doesn’t sound convinced by any of it. He’s throwing spaghetti at the wall,” Carlstrom said."
Iran and the global diplomatic malaise.
Often we talk about the breakdown of the rules-based international order. We need to talk more about the breakdown of global diplomacy and the decline under Donald Trump of US statecraft. My latest post, free to all

Handy reminder of just how xenophobic Australia really is: the government punishes Australians with a $9,500 if they want to beg the government to let them live with their spouse.
This visa takes 2 years to process, too, absolutely destroying the couple’s lives while they wait.
A very good thread.
"Lies and propaganda are being used to retrospectively justify this war."
ICYMI, brilliant analysis from John Lyons.
Many have noted what an asset he is to the ABC, when so many are parroting those lies.
The ABC needs more journos able to speak truth to power.

"Oil demand in other countries has remained unchanged since October"
Oil demand in countries other than China and Japan has been flat since October!
And China is stockpiling. We are getting close to peak oil demand.

I cannot overstate what a massive, glaring and bright red sign of wrongdoing it is whenever a company starts doing offsetting.
Whether it's for carbon, biodiversity or water, nothing marks the presence of a massive, pulsating guilty conscience blob as clearly as offsetting does.
So obscene.
New nuclear is crazy-and useless
$47.2 bil for 3.26 GW Hinkley Point C=$14.5/W vs $1/W for solar and wind
And HPC will take 22 years from planning to operation (2008-2030), vs 1-3 for PV/wind
Similar statistics for Vogtle
Vaporware SMRs are worse
