Today is the anniversary of the discovery of the statue Aphrodite of Melos, better known as Venus de Milo. The statue is an ancient Greek marble sculpture that was created during the Hellenistic period. Its exact dating is uncertain, but the modern consensus places it in the 2nd century BC, perhaps between 160 and 110 BC. It was rediscovered in 1820 on the island of Milos, Greece, and has been displayed at the Louvre Museum since 1821. Since the statue’s discovery, it has become one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture in the world.
The Venus de Milo is believed to depict Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, whose Roman counterpart was Venus. The statue is missing both arms, the left foot, and the earlobes. There is a filled hole below her right breast that originally contained a metal tenon that would have supported the right arm. The sculpture was originally identified as depicting Aphrodite holding the apple of discord as a marble hand holding an apple was found alongside it; recent scientific analysis supports the identification of this hand as part of the sculpture.

So after arguing for an hour with a man who said I was in his seat, he finally said, “OK, YOU fly the plane!”

I was watching a TV show for about 10 minutes and this lady was listing all of these great things to do for fun. Then I realized that it was one of the religious channels and she was reading a list of sins.
Don’t worry Greenland. One more bottle of whiskey and Pete Hegseth will text you the complete invasion plans.
It’s disgusting that we live in a country where a homeless veteran who served his country can sleep in a cardboard box, while a draft dodger who works tirelessly to tear his country down can sleep in the White House.
Shout out to everyone who got through the day without taking a nap. Pulled an all-dayer today.

I think it’s disgraceful that after 50 years, people don’t know who Neil Armstrong was … or even the type of trumpet he played!
I went for a run but came back home after 2 minutes because I forgot something. I forgot that I’m fat and can’t run for more than 2 minutes.
Must be miserable to go about life thinking scientists, historians and journalists spent their entire lives lying to you, but a reality TV celebrity with decades of documented fraud is telling you the truth.
