Strange coincidence: the ancients name a moving star God the Father, and thousands of years later it turns out to be the biggest planet in our solar system.
A couple of 11th century runic spell amulets found at Köpingsvik invoke Christ and the Virgin Mary on behalf of a woman named Oluv. She is being threatened by ”the roaring giant”, ”the three-headed giant” and ”the unmanly/homosexual giant”.
Why his electorate keeps voting him back in is a mystery. But then Bob Katter keeps getting re-elected too. Personally I'd like something more than "colourful" from my local MP.
Barnaby Joyce video: Parliament’s most colourful character has fallen down. Can he get up again?

Blocking people who whinge about paywalled articles. Very satisfying. That is the number one irritating thing about Mastodon, entitled people who insist you post stuff entirely for their convenience.
@timrichards I never know if things like this are a "just me" thing, but surely everyone knew and loved the story long before Disney got its big three-fingered gloves on it. Or at least everyone knew of it.
I finally watched the 10 #Bluey S3 episodes that were recently added to Disney+. "Dragon" may be my new favorite, and like every episode that focuses on Chili's family, is subtextually, incredibly sad. And then I saw "Cricket," and I love me some Rusty...
@Tim_Eagon@b4ux1t3 Wait, what? Is that why the horse flies away at the end? My kid has been watching about 6 episodes on constant rotation, and that's one of them. I never got it.
