Archaeologists have found some of the oldest artistic depictions of domesticated dogs.
In recent years, archaeologists have uncovered more than 1400 rock carving panels in Northwestern Saudi Arabia depicting ancient hunting dogs. All of the dogs depicted are medium in size with upright ears, short snouts and curled tails. They look a lot like the modern Canaan breed, a largely feral breed that roamed the deserts, indicating these dogs were chosen based on their natural ability to navigate the surrounding terrain.
The carving showed dogs taking down animals like wild donkeys, ibexes and gazelles, and a few even depict them leashed to the humans they're hunting for. These carvings are an estimated eight thousand to nine thousand years old and may even be older than the Iranian pottery that was previously labeled as the oldest art of domesticated dogs. As the carvings are studied more, we should have a more concrete idea of the culture that left them behind.

The Rock by Michael Bay.
A great action movie!! Perfect confection...
For some, this is the one good movie Michael Bay ever gave us (I disagree. I like this film and the first three Transformers movies).

Brazil by Terry Gilliam.
A good film, one that I felt was made exclusively for me. I was transformed upon first watching this. Brazil is an amazing masterpiece of a movie. Is it better than Blade Runner? ...Close.
Uncanny vibes, everything about it is freaky, every character in the film feels like they have this sinister agenda underneath this goofy facade, and it has an ending that's horrifyingly hopeless and really upset me upon first viewing. I was like, "Please, that is not the way it ended. Please no..." But I'm SO glad it ended like that, because apparently there was an alternate version where it ended happily. Forget that. It would not be as nearly as impactful if it didn't have that.
I should note that Terry Gilliam does this thing with fisheye lenses where he makes certain things in frame feel all the more close and intrusive to your personal space. The way he distorts the screen...say someone has a screwdriver or a syringe in their hand. It can really just bend around to really feel like it's about to get you. There's just something really intrusive about some of the visuals in this film.

Fun Fact:
Humans have been astral planing a LOT longer than we thought.
Researchers analyzed hair strands from a burial site in Menorca and detected scopolamine, ephedrine and atropine. Atropine and scopolamine are naturally occurring substances in the nightshade plant family that cause hallucinations and altered sensory perception, while ephedrine is a stimulant taken from certain shrubs and pines that boosts excitement and physical activity. Before this discovery, we'd only found indirect evidence of psychedelic use in ancient cultures. The cave that the analyzed hair strands were taken from was first occupied around 1600 BCE and featured a chamber that was used as a funeral space until around 800 BCE. It's estimated that 210 individuals were laid to rest here, but only certain people had their hair dyed red, placed in containers and sealed in a chamber further back in the cave. We don't know what made these individuals so special that their hair had to be preserved but we are certain that a major psychedelic discovery was just made in Spain.

Girlhood (French: Bande de filles, lit. "Group of Girls") by Céline Sciamma.
On November 15, 1966, two young couples from Point Pleasant, West Virginia—Roger and Linda Scarberry, and Steve and Mary Mallette—told police they were chased by a large white creature whose eyes "glowed red". They described it as a flying man with 10-foot wings and said it followed their car while they were driving in an area of town known as the "the TNT area", the site of a former World War II munitions plant. This creature came to be known as "Mothman" and has since been blamed for everything from causing TV static to killing pets to even a bridge collapse. Folklorist Jan Harold Brunvand claims the creature was something real and frightening, but explainable, that got woven into local legends. Others have claimed the creature was a UFO, some a large owl and others say it's a large American Crane.
What do you think the Mothman is?
Some hard questions (and my opinion on them)…
1) Pineapple on pizza is good? 😒 No, who in the right mind would put pineapple on their pizza? 2) Peanut M&M's are the superior M&M's? I haven't partaken in the M&M's recently. 3) Is Metal Gear Solid 2 the best game of all time? One of them, for sure! 4) Is Death Stranding the greatest game of all time? One of them! Absolutely! Great designs and great actors in it! 5) Could a hot dog count as a sandwich? I don't think so, because it's like a vertical sandwich. 6) Is cereal a soup? The way some people make it? Yes! Me, I don't use milk in my cereal. 7) Smoking is never cool? It only LOOKS cool, but it's not cool for the biology.
