An Ancient Greek coin with the head of Heracles in the centre
An Ancient Greek coin with Zeus seated, holding an eagle in the centre.
This coin is from the reign of Alexander III of Macedon, more commonly known as Alexander the Great.
It features the head of Heracles on one side, and Zeus seated holding a sceptre and an eagle on the other.
I used to laugh at my mother for accidentally posting stuff to her WhatsApp status, instead of sending it to the intended recipient.
Now I've done it + I'm filled with belated sympathy/empathy.
Photo of a cuneiform tablet fragment shaped a bit like an irregular diamond. It preserves nearly 20 incomplete lines of text separated by a horizontal ruling
There's a broken cuneiform tablet from the Old Babylonian period, nearly 4,000 years ago, which preserves a tiny portion of a dialogue between two friends.
It feels a bit like the conversations I've been having for the past week, so I wanted to share it.
In nearly all countries surveyed, more people say that others in their country have somewhat or very good morals than say their compatriots display somewhat or very bad levels of morality. The United States is the only place we surveyed where more adults (ages 18 and older) describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad (53%) than as good (47%). Because we have never asked this question before, we donβt know whether a majority of Americans have long held a skeptical view of the ethics of fellow Americans, or if itβs something new β and if so, whatβs driving it. But partisan politics appear to play a role.

My photo shows a famous wall painting from Pompeii known as the Sappho fresco. It shows the head and upper body of a young woman framed inside a painted circular border. She faces forward. Her eyes are large and dark, gazing to one side with a calm and thoughtful expression, as if pausing mid-thought. Her skin is pale, and her hair is dark brown and tightly curled, forming small ringlets around her face. A thin golden hairnet holds her curls in place. She wears small gold hoop earrings, and a brown cloak over a green garment. In her right hand she holds a thin dark metal stylus (writing tool) up against her lips, as if thinking about what to write. In her left hand she holds a small rectangular wooden wax writing tablet. The fresco is now on display at the Muso Archeologico Nazionale in Naples

Riley's redemption arc was very well done.
He ended up being way more decent than some of the religious folk.
There's a lesson in there.

I'm done with S3 of #SpyxFamily + I really hope there'll be a S4.
Feel-good vibes all round.
'The region and its airlines have become used to travel disruption over the past few years, but such a prolonged closure of the skies β more than 24 hours β and the shutdown of all three big Gulf transit hubs was unprecedented, analysts said.'
