Mastodawn

With you myself, I got a fright:
Beyond the pond,
You, like a clump of rushes, stood in sight,
With waving moan.
Thomas Landseer, from "Tam O'Shanter and Souter Johnny, a Poem" by Robert Burns, London: 1830 #illustration #art https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/illustrations/like-rash-buss/

👴 Welcome to the riveting world of #writing #systems and Unicode! Because who doesn't want to spend their day deciphering character sets and #script links? 💤 Here's a fun fact: #Chinese #characters were simplified in the 1950s, because evidently, Mainland China thought people had way too much free time. 🙄

🧵3/4 Trump: "I Broke It, You Own It"

Iran, thinking strategically unlike Trump, has called his bluff exposing him for all the world to see & laugh at while he cowardly throws up his hands & threatens to leave NATO because they're rational actors unwilling to clean up his mess.
