Even though it is a fragment, this relief is stunning with elegant draping of two women thought to be Demeter and Persephone. They appear to be tending to an incense altar.

On May 6, 1937, the German airship Hindenburg burst into flames over Lakehurst, NJ. You've probably seen the iconic film & photos of the disaster.
But a few years ago, footage from a different angle—filmed by amateur photographer Howard Schenck on an 8mm camera—was released for the first time. Schenck began filming earlier than the newsreel photographers did, capturing the early moments of the fire and showing the entire length of the airship as it burned.

An early Chinese published propaganda map for the "Illustration of the Situation of the Vietnamese people in resisting U.S. aggression and Saving the country" from 1965.
If you think there is a #WokeMindVirus, you are probably the type of person who was nursing war injuries in between jobs at a 1920’s Munich beer hall and found the impassioned ravings of a failed artist to be oddly compelling.
