Not limited to tech of course, other companies have plundered nouns and paid Google to ignore what it can almost certainly determine what I actually want algorithmically (follows that I would be referring to *the sky* after searching for snowflake, no?)

The Herodian dynasty (as in the Biblical Herod) were a little bit more widespread than one would assume just based on the narrative we're accustomed to. Not only were they client kings in Judaea, but intermittently in Cilicia and Armenia as well https://t.co/kf8oX4PHG1

@aquarianriver Back in the Medieval period, farmers would dig up old neolithic tools and weapons so often that pretty much everyone had one in their house and used them as good luck charms or whatever
Called them "thunderstones". Basically it's normal to have an artefact or two. Don't worry

John Dee, court astronomer to Elizabeth I and almost certainly a reincarnation of, or pseudonym adopted by Merlin, reckoned that Arthur's Empire at its height encompassed not only the British Isles, but Greenland, Vinland and the North Pole (Canada)

The protagonists of the late 11th and early 12th centuries, going far beyond what could be expected of such a small little region in France

@yngvi_ingamells I don't think it's likely, there are multiple of each. The Seraphs are chanting. There are at least four Cherubs and Ezekiel spent a lot of effort describing them down to the most minute detail

The Seraph, described by Isaiah:
"Each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly"
And by St. John in Revelation:
"And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within" https://t.co/S18Nrt3xSV

And the Cherub, described by Ezekiel:
"They had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. The face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and the face of an ox on the left side; they also had the face of an eagle." https://twitter.com/uncle_deluge/status/1635479645142372354/video/1

I think the images are beautiful but don't really do them justice
Here are Jonas Pfeiffer's original animations
First is the Ophan, described by Ezekiel as "Their appearance was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel, and their rings were full of eyes round about them four" https://t.co/KpRetpo7Rb https://t.co/WGW2XovXMG

I was there. Back when the Thames and Rhine were the same river and the pink skinned man rode woolly mammoths into battle against Atlantean interlopers who would dare threaten our nascent civilization. Everyone looked like this
