Thank you this kind of comment is why I come here.

Yeah but presumably the parent in the M1 has a spouse operating a surveillance drone to provide real time fire child correction?

It looks like it’s supposed to be more greek, since the romans weren’t known for fighting naked, whereas we think ‘greek’ and we think shirtless. Also romans weren’t involved in egypt in any serious way till much later. Whereas the ‘sea peoples’ seem to come from roughly the sphere of mycenean influence, even if they don’t all seem ‘greek’.

Not in the late bronze age.

The Mycenian Greeks probably wrestled control of Crete from the Minoans ~300 before the late bronze age collapse of greek and hittite power structures.

Cultural elements and settlements of these “Eteocretans” remained, but I don’t think the Minoans were in any place to halt anything at that point. During the period we call collapse they seem to have been doing a lot of fleeing into the mountains.

Yeah wow that’s incredible. That dog looks very alone and scared, I could see how people say drowning. Cresting a hill was my first thought.

There’s a great Mac game from 1997 called Harry the Handsome Executive, where you zoom around on an office chair and weild a staple gun. The first level is you looking for a window so you can experience natural light again.

Yeah, it’s one of my favourites too. So immediately striking. I don’t think it would’ve occurred to me to read up on it - what’s to read about? There’s just the figures and the act, nothing else. But then you find out that it’s somehow even more goth.

Did this person depict lots of mythological figures?

Nope! It’s been a few decades since my art history lectures but my memory is (and wikipedia agrees) that he did a lot of portraits and battle scenes. IIRC his battle paintings inspired Picasso’s. His late work is especially dark - madness and horror type stuff. Sinister distorted figures. They’re often called The Black Paintings.

if this is common knowledge

Quite the opposite. This painting was used in a slide in my greek mythology class during the lecture about the titans and chronos. Then in an art history class I learned the context, which I feel is much less known.

In case anyone missed the reference, this is based on a work found painted on the walls of Fransisco Goya’s dining room after he died. You’ll often hear it called “Saturn Devouring His Son”, but the work was never titled or displayed publicly. There’s really no good reason to believe that the devourer is Chronos/Saturn, that the devouree is even a child, or that either body is male.

I personally like to think of it as Untitled (Dining Room).

It’s called Corditini

an 8 hour PowerPoint presentation on light switch waste awareness.

You don’t need an 8 hour PowerPoint. Instead try the best ad I’ve ever seen. It’s from legendary estonian animator Priit Pärn:

In my family we always end this kind of recitation of woe with “and I wanted to see a snake”.

We saw a kid have a meltdown at an animal refuge when the meet-a-surprise-reptile was a blue tongue lizard. He wailed that he was tired, hungry, hot and - most of all - he wanted to see a snake.

said to get a ”key" to heaven if they fought in the war

Wow. That’s such a different kind of lie than the ones we tell people to get them to enlist.

“the West is coming for us” … they don’t care about the details.

Surely they at least care about the correct direction.

East =/= West.

Why are they including their invasion of Ukraine, Napoleon’s Russian invasion AND the period of Mongol dominance over the Rus? Is Putin claiming the Mongolian conquest of Kievan Rus as a military accomplishment of Russia?

the operation is highly organised, technically savvy

Of course an operation this sophisticated targets people looking to buying luxury brands for cheap, that sounds like an ideal mark.

I personally believe that preserving a false and misleading picture of reality designed to trumpet a deranged cult that is working to make the world objectively worse for everyone including themselves is not acceptable.

I would say, “Look mum I love you more than anything in the world but preserving some of these movies crosses an ethical line for me.”

Of course I grew up in a house of atheist jewish academics, so making and justifying personal ethical stances that contravene wider group stances is expected behavior in my family. And we take document preservation fairly seriously.

Tell you what, that crack is really moreish!

That episode, with Mark’s friend who plays core englaise in the BNP band is one of my favorite episodes of television.

For any other super hans fans, if you’ve not seen Withnail and I the drug dealer character in that was a major influence on hans.

I love when HR goes out of their way to let you know that the company are assholes before you apply.
