"The Dark Side of the Moon".

Money
Get away
You get a good job with more pay and you're okay
Money
It's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star, daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade,
you make the change
You rearrange me 'til I'm sane

You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head
but it's not me

Us and them.
And after all we're only ordinary men.

The Great Gig In The Sky

And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

Time #PinkFloyd

Periodic reminder that Gian Lorenzo Bernini was only 23 when he carved The Abduction of Proserpina from a single block of marble.

A thread about one of the most beautiful sculptures ever created by a human being 🧵

Crafted between 1621 and 1622, this stunning Carrara marble masterpiece demonstrates the sheer brilliance of a young artist destined for greatness.

It depicts the powerful god Pluto as he drags the goddess Proserpina into the depths of the Underworld. Image
The composition is dynamic, with every fold of Proserpina's drapery and Pluto’s tense body exuding a palpable sense of motion.

Bernini’s masterful precision brings his figures to life, their bodies frozen in time yet brimming with raw, explosive energy.

2. This is a rendering of the 79 AD eruption.

Pompeii, Herculaneum, Stabiae, and several nearby villas were buried under 4–6 meters (13–20 feet) of ash and pumice, lying undisturbed until their 16th-century rediscovery.
3. The Herculaneum papyri, over 1,800 scrolls carbonized by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE, are the only surviving library from antiquity preserved in its entirety.

With new x-ray techniques, these scrolls are being read for the first time in millennia. Image
