Place Charles de Gaulle, encore.
Bizarre tout d'abord l'idée de faire une copie d'une oeuvre du XIXème... mais pourquoi en faire une moche ? La tête du lion est complétement ratée ! Et la facture de la statue vraiment grossière, on dirait un moulage en chocolat !
Tiens en parlant de facture, combien ce truc ?

L’incroyable miroir (de Wish) : Réfection de la place de Gaulle, un fiasco sur toute la ligne.

On a l’habitude qu’entre les déclarations grandiloquentes du Journal du Biterrois et la réalité il y ait à peu près la même différence qu’entre les promesses du télé-achat et la réalité du produit, c’est à dire un monde.
Mais concernant l’aménagement de la place de Gaulle on touche tout de même à un extrême, âmes sensibles s’abstenir, ce n’est plus un monde mais un univers !

Archaeologists have unearthed 1,400-year-old murals of two-faced men in Peru. The murals belong to the Moche civilization, which flourished on the northern coast of Peru before the Inca Empire. The two-faced men may represent movement, ritual sacrifice, or connection to cosmic realms.

For the #Caturday night band, here’s a terracotta #Moche #jaguar trumpet from #Peru (north coast), 200 BCE - 600 CE, on display in the musical instruments gallery at the Met.

“Among the Moche & other Pre-Columbian cultures, the jaguar, a large, powerful, & stealthy nocturnal predator & symbol of might, was revered & associated with gods, rulers, & shamans. The Maya & others considered the jaguar's growls as the voice of thunder, & the roaring jaguar trumpet appropriately evokes its cry.”

"There is no known precedent for these figures in Moche art. They don’t have features typical of Moche deities — namely zoomorphic elements like fangs, claws, tails or wings."

Comment le #moche est devenu un argument #marketing majeur.

Le laid ne se définit plus en creux et s'opposant au beau. Le laid s'impose comme vecteur de différenciation à l'encontre de certains diktats sociaux, jugés trop contraignants et politiquement incorrects.

Hate against #transgender people isn't relegated to the #US.

Due to #politicians passing laws against, and media outlets ignoring #science and spreading lies about #trans people, murder rates are way too high worldwide.

None of these trans people should have died. We need to stop the hate to save lives.

Please remember Erika Quintana Ávalos, a 31-year-old #Peruvian #transwoman killed in #Moche, #Peru on January 21, 2023.

Huaca Rajada & the Tombs of Sipán are often regarded as Peru’s archeological equivalent of Egypt’s King Tut’s tomb. It contains fourteen separate tombs of the Moche elite, dating from around 50-300 AD. It’s the most complete funerary site that has ever been discovered from any pre-Columbian Andean culture.

Just got an email from the R&D Exec from FTDNA. Apparently, my YDNA is shared with Spirit Cave Mummy and Aconcagua Boy Mummy. The funny thing is that my mtDNA is shared with Juanita Mummy. I can't wait for the full results! #DNA #genealogy #NativeAmerican #Peru #Moche #Inca

Apparemment il y avait une mode dans les années 90' de mettre une robe informe au dessus d'un t shirt de sport.
Pourquoi je n'en ai aucun souvenir, sûrement le déni. #Moche
