I really really enjoyed it. I feel like I laughed at it more than the second Deadpool. I really loved how it basically tied up the Fox universe and, not gonna lie, got a little verklempt at the end. Surprisingly emotional.

The music was fantastic too.

Arm rings such as these, which are usually found in Ireland and date to between A.D. 880 and 930, were worn around the wrist and were also used as currency.

"This is very rare. The sword was the greatest status symbol in the Viking Age, and it was a privilege to be allowed to carry a sword. It is not often that we, as archaeologists, get to experience something like this," says Lars Søgaard Sørensen in the county council's section for cultural heritage.

To the Vikings, a sword was much more than just a weapon. Sword production was complex and labor-intensive, making them scarce and costly. Consequently, they were not widely accessible or prevalent. They were primarily utilized by individuals of high status and rank, such as kings and elite Vikings.

It is probably the first time such a sword has been found in Rogaland. With the help of X-ray photography, conservator Hege Hollund has discovered the contours of inscriptions with a cross pattern and perhaps letters on the blade.

Aleksandr Podushkin of Ozbekali Zhanibekov University said that the recovered artifacts are thought to have been made during the period of the Kangju state, which was made up of groups of Sarmatian, Xiongnu, and Saki peoples who lived along the Great Silk Road between the fifth century B.C. and the fourth century A.D. The Kangju state is known to have traded with Rome, China, and the Kushan Empire to the south, he added. The objects include two gold crescent-shaped earrings, which have been dated to the first century B.C. and are inlaid with jewels and decorated with clusters of grapes, and a large, circular bronze mirror resembling those made in China during the Han Dynasty, which ruled from 206 B.C. to A.D. 220.

That’s awesome

 

Ogham is a unique writing system consisting of parallel lines in groups of 1-5, making it highly unusual among world writing systems. These stones provide valuable insights into the Irish language before the adoption of the Latin insular script.

The earliest known ogham inscriptions date back to the 4th and 6th centuries AD, and over 400 ogham stones and fragments have been found, predominantly in Ireland and along the Welsh coast. While the main function of these stones is still uncertain, some historians believe they were used for legal purposes in land disputes, as they are often found on or near the boundaries of kin and bearing the names of ancestors.

Daredevil is my favorite. Most of the iconic writers we know today like Miller, Waid, Brubaker, Bendis, and Zdarsky had their fun with the character on their own runs and it definitely shows.
