This is Checkmate, painted in 1799 painting by German artist Friedrich Moritz August Retzsch. It is often thought to represent Man losing their souls to Satan, but Chess Master Paul Morphy noticed there is still a winning move. The Angel's very pointed look makes more sense; there is still a way out, a bit of hope.

The most amazing cave- videos.trom.tf/w/hNQGWL9YRHyQ2…
The Cave of Nerja, in southern Spain, is absolutely enormous and was inhabited by humans thousands of years ago. Explorers have found cave paintings, human bones, and evidence of cave hyenas living in the cave around the same time as humans. The Nerja Cave also holds the largest stalactite in the world, measuring around 32 meters.
This was such an amazing experience for us, it is hard to show the immensity and uniqueness of this cave in a video or photos. We were also able to get in there for free as they give free tickets away every weekday at 9:30am. cuevadenerja.es/en/

@zak The battery life is fantastic. I typically go 2-3 days between charges. @Luigi311 wrote a review with a more formal testing and gave it a 5/5 on battery. https://blog-d.luigi311.com/furilabs-flx1/
@fesshole Never Eat Soggy Waffles is what works for me.

If there's anything that illustrated the hollowness of the Democratic Party as an effective opposition for me, it's this.
Yesterday, I watched a video of a sitting US Senator being thrown to the ground and cuffed by fed goons for asking questions of the fed official he has direct oversight authority over.
Within minutes, I'd gotten DOZENS of texts from Dems and Dem orgs asking for $5-$50 to "fight fascism."
That's it. "Are you terrified that your country is slipping into fascism? Pay me."
@zak I have similarly basic phone needs. And have been daily driving the linux phone FLX1 from FuriLabs for the last few months. And it basically meets the needs you mention. In the US they only support T-Mobile.

Why philosophy of physics?
Some physicists reject philosophy as a distraction from ‘real’ science but it is in fact both useful and beautiful

my favorite story in all of art history
church commissions a statue of lucifer, it's too sexy. so asks original sculptor's younger brother to make it less sexy.
... new one ends up hotter and far more iconic
