Why were rabbits killing people in medieval manuscripts?
The Strange World of Drolleries
~ Well, I Never ~

…a 12 minute video

“Medieval drolleries are whimsical, often humorous illustrations found in the margins of illuminated manuscripts, particularly during the Gothic period (13th–15th centuries). These playful images depict fantastical creatures, grotesques, anthropomorphic animals, or absurd human scenes that often contrast with the solemnity of the main text. Drolleries served various purposes: comic relief, satire, or even hidden commentary on societal norms. They showcased the creativity of medieval artists and sometimes included surreal or bawdy humor. Found in psalters, prayer books, and other manuscripts, drolleries reflect the vibrant imagination of the Middle Ages, blending sacred texts with the secular and the strange. Their enduring charm offers a window into the humor and artistry of the period.” (Well, I Never)

hope you have a great day!

Government Shutdown Clock – The White House
…Day 40 – and counting ~ this will be a new part of my posts until the gov opens back up…
Senate works through weekend on shutdown deal; Trump to attend Commanders game: the hill …“The Senate will again gather at the Capitol on Sunday in an attempt to negotiate an end to the now 40-day government shutdown, after a rare Saturday session yielded little progress despite mounting pressures. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) told reporters entering the weekend that lawmakers will remain in session until a deal is reached to reopen the federal government. He said Sunday that if Democrats vote to advance the House-passed continuing resolution, he will offer another stopgap spending measure with a later expiration date combined with three full-year appropriations bills. Senate Democrats, meanwhile, are still pushing an offer to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits for one year. The effects of the shutdown have intensified in recent days.” … I know the government has reopened, but I’m going to leave this here, for now. It was still early when I saw “the government is open”, but now that a little time has passed, things are more clear. The government is still shutdown, the clock is still clicking. What’s happened is the house voted to bring the continuing resolution to the floor, possibly voting on it today.
