- Haven't done one in a while, so here's an old favourite. A delicately painted pastel-like panel of a woman holding an askos, seemingly decanting perfume or oil into a small container. From Casa Farnesina, ca. Late 1st Century BC.

It’s been a busy week for Elon Musk — but not so busy that he can’t find time to rant about one of his favorite subjects: white people being “replaced” by POC. My story on his days-long tweet spree claiming Lupita Nyong’o in The Odyssey is part of a leftist effort to “destroy Western civilization."

"At some point, we are obligated to call a pattern what it is," one political science professor said after Elon Musk tweeted about Lupita Nyong'o's casting in "The Odyssey."

Every Easter, rabbits are bought as gifts, and many are abandoned just weeks later. Rabbits are intelligent, social animals who need love, space, vet care, and commitment for 10+ years. Bunnies are not Easter decorations — they are family.
