Some of the most remarkable lost artefacts from the ancient world were the titanic wrecks of the Nemi ships, built for a Roman emperor. In their first-century heyday they held gardens, palaces and baths in a floating wonderland. But barely a decade after their recovery, they were lost forever.

Here’s Atwood dragging Smith:
Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business
Make the crumble!
George W?
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
Excuse me (what)
Happy 'greatest correction ever' day to all who celebrate
This ain’t a scene it‘s a god-damn cork face

Yes exactly
At last, some proper British vandalism. (source - www.facebook.com/share/p/1MeV...)
People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
You’ll know it’s happening for real when they move a sexier couch into the Oval Office.

"probably not the place for you to come and enjoy cinematic experiences" 🤦
I have been laughing at this joke all day. 🦉
No.

@duncanexley.bsky.social you have a lot to contribute to this thread
This should be headline news - the implications are horrifying …
1/3 Some time ago I was asked by a French movie magazine if I could recreate the iconic Alien poster using my miniature photography skills, it's one of my all time favourite movies so I jumped at the chance and obviously I had to do it practically, here's the final image made only from 2 photos...

Queen off are hearts RIP 4eva
Understand, gah
Wow that’s fascinating - and now I understood why the hotel room I stayed in in NYC was so roasting hot in winter that I had to open the window
What idiot called it a bikini wax and not Bush Administration
@squidlingking.bsky.social Kenny has got it going on
She sounds brilliant
Me: this is great, glad to see authors ripped off by AI getting their due. Me after using the search tool: I am one of these ripped off authors. Academics, it only takes a minute. Seven of my papers are in this and I had no idea.
I need to go back, it’s so brilliant

If you get married in England this is where you have to consummate it otherwise it doesn’t count and you’re killed for treason
Ooh just ordered it on the strength of this post NO PRESSURE
If Bad Manners did greetings cards.
I hope someone held the door for him
I think there’s a real anti-culture, anti-intellectual thing that appeals to a lot of people who feel like they’re looked down on and are permanently furious about it
She sounds like a keeper
Morning Bluesky. Some fantastic nature photography here.
This account of a “fan” meeting Duran Duran is amazing. Slags half the band off and John said what?!
Gah
Some buoys take a beautiful gull and hide her away from the rest of the world
Oh no, two flags fell off the gateposts of a building down the road just as I walked past
Here’s the link if you don’t have it thankgoodness.game/over/
Worth a try at least!
Wah I didn’t do it cos it needed a SAE to a US address and now I really want a patch but post to the US is on hold
Reminds me of this
Outlook search is the pits
Get a grip.
Oh boy they don’t even MEAN foyer

It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!
I wish he’d bloody hurry up about it
And then eventually someone blows him up while he’s dinging at Elon Musk
She’s wrong
I want him to have a massive stroke or coronary or something that incapacitates but doesn’t kill him, and for him to live out the rest of his days furious and unable to do anything about it
www.sportpursuit.com for cheap branded gear - annoyingly you have to create an account before you can look at anything. Not used it for ages but it used to be pretty good
the thing I love about Zohran’s campaign is that instead of “this place fucking sucks and I alone can fix it” his message is “being a New Yorker rules, we live in the best city in the world, let’s make it even better together” show some damn pride in the places you want to govern
Unfortunately
Every now and then I ask this. Does anyone remember the name of a 1970s British children’s book (for 8-12yo) in which a girl lives in a house surrounded by Bronze Age barrows? Think like Alan Garner, but not him. Almost definitely a Puffin book.

"other protesters" 🙄
That’s a lot to deal with. Sending good vibes.
I love our town fair day, but there's always one violent idiot who has to ruin it for everyone, trundling around making threats.
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Line up a barrel of boiling oil for next time
We need everyone back in the office because we want the serendipitous magic that only happens when you let humans get creative together and also we're replacing all of you with an AI machine that can only do things that it's seen done before

MBA-Brain seems to have taken over at the tech giant I’ve worked at for over 20 years. What @edzitron.com has been calling out for a while now www.wheresyoured.at/the-rot-econ...
I just don’t understand how these people have such a limited idea of how anything works
Every time I see a flag on a bridge I think about getting off at the exit, driving round and setting fire to it. Might start actually doing it.
They should’ve ran… ran so far away
This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read

It’s political correctness gone mad Stew.
A reminder: Asylum seekers are in hotels because of a huge application backlog that the gov't must work through. Robert Jenrick - now, bursting with creative solutions - processed applications slowly ***on purpose*** as a deterrent. Here he is, as Immigration Minister two years ago, saying so. ~AA
