It's life Jim but not as we know it... I believe this was never said in Star Trek but I'm willing to be proven wrong.

I was thinking about La Balance the other day. I was also thinking of Nathalie Baye. I couldn't better Macron's words.

I wonder how many people have been killed since the last Persian democratic government was toppled by the USA and the UK? They keep mentioning 40 odd years of repression and conveniently forget the previous repression. It's been a long time and the situation arises entirely because of the USA/UK.
NEW Analysis of ancient DNA from monumental tombs in Neolithic northern Scotland suggests they were physical embodiments of prehistoric kinship, tracing lineages over centuries.

I enjoyed all three episodes. I have to go to Holy Island later in the year for a scattering of ashes. It's a remarkable place. I'm always amazed by the number of parallels that Lindisfarne has with the island of Noirmoutier (a little south of me in Brittany). Not least the treacherous causeway.
On the discus in relief, a horseman riding left with head turned back looking over his left shoulder and holding a long, oblong shield in his left hand. He may be identified as a barbarian, possibly a Gallic warrior, since he is naked above the waist, has long flowing hair, and wears a torque around his neck.
An absolutely fascinating image on this Roman terracotta oil lamp. A horseman holding a long, oblong shield gallops left, looking over his shoulder. He wears trousers and is naked above the waist, with wild hair and a torc. Probably a Gallic warrior. 🏺 1/
