Sacred Treasure
- This is an extensive and helpful survey: Why did Jonathan Edwards think that Slavery was morally right.
- Chris Green has been on sabbatical and has started a little series of wisdom gleaned; part 2 here
- John Wyatt is a source of great wisdom and insight in a crazy world: here is his helpful overview of Generation Z
- Remarkable find in a cave above the Dead Sea: 1900 year old Roman swords!
Topical Treasure
- Rosie Duffield MP on what it’s like going back to term at Hogwarts (aka the House of Commons)
- Neil Armstrong’s brilliant response to a Moon Landing conspiracy theorist.
- Some extraordinary historical images (some are heartstoppingly poignant).
- Some remarkable historical artefacts and inventions- they don’t make them like that any more (apart from the Roman loos thankfully).
Quirky Treasure
- Digital digging has identified great authors’ pet phrases
- Saudi Arabia’s 14 Giga-projects (HT Simple Pastor – as he says, just bonkers)
- 10 Reasons Why Barbie is the movie of the year. I totally agree!
- Madame B’s fantastical 19th Century photo-collages
- Now in 21st C some photo silliness – photoshopped Creatonautes
- Beautiful minimalist winning photographs
- As an inveterate collector of fun/weird signs, this brought a bunch I’d not seen before. Excellent
- I must confess to a bit of an obsession of arts explainer videos that have proliferated. There are some really gifted and insightful presenters out there. I just came across this guy and really enjoyed this one: Thomas Flight on subtle performances.
