🏛 #Venus statuette from

Bronze Venus statuette with gold jewellery from Pompeii. The goddess is touching the golden anklet on her left foot, maybe about to put it on or take it off. She also wears golden arm rings on both arms. Her lips have been painted red or given a layer of copper. She wears her hair in a top bow updo. Below her anklets, there are finely crafted sandals on her feet.

I wrote a story. It starts:
He woke up, looking forward to finally fishing. He’s retired, even though he feels like he could keep doing the work, and now, finally, he has the chance to go out on his boat, with a beer and his rod to catch something. Maybe if he catches enough he can fill the whole freezer set up in the basement. Fresh frozen fish for months.
The rest of it:

Hur främmande israelisk högern är från judisk religiös tradition. De talmudiska rabbinerna (1500-2000 år sedan) arbetade hårt för att göra det till en pappersprodukt, trots att det praktiserades brett i omgivningen. Man införde en stor mängd regler för att göra det mycket lättare att frikänna än att döma (se bilder) och man etablerade regeln att en överdomstol (sanhedrin) som dömer ut ett dödsstraff en gång på 70 år drar vanära över sig som en "blodig sanhedrin"

Two witnesses were required. Acceptability was limited to: Adult Jewish men who were known to keep the commandments knew the written and oral law, and had legitimate professions; The witnesses had to see each other at the time of the sin; The witnesses had to be able to speak clearly, without any speech impediment or hearing deficit (to ensure that the warning and the response were done); The witnesses could not be related to each other, or to the accused. The witnesses had to…
However, if the accused has already committed the crime, the accused would have been given a chance to repent (i.e. Ezekiel 18:27), and if they repeated the same crime, or any other, it would lead to a death sentence. If witnesses were caught lying about the crime, they would be executed. The Beth Din (rabbinical court) had to examine each witness separately; and if even one minor point of their evidence, such as eye color, was contradictory the evidence was considered contradictory, and the ev…

The scene shows three characters in what appears to be a spaceship or futuristic facility interior, with industrial gray walls visible in the background. The woman on the left wears a distinctive red velvet tunic with white cord trim and a black turtleneck underneath, styled wi…
