Gather round kids and hear the tale of #Shinnō vanquishing the #yokai on the island of demons
Shinnō is based on #Shennong, the Chinese agriculture and herbal medicine deity
Shinnō arrives on the island without sword or armor. Instead gorging on potatoes, chestnuts, and persimmons
A mistake?
No!
At the climactic battle Shinnō unleashes massive poison farts that overwhelm the demon yokai and drive them off the island

Discovered in the 90s, mirror neurons were found active both when a monkey performed an action and when it saw someone else perform the same action. From here, the idea that they’re the neural basis for empathy took a life of its own.

#Russia is turning itself into a military #laughingstock. A country this vast, after decades of being portrayed as a #military #superpower, still failing to conquer the rest of its much smaller former #SovietUnion neighbour, #Ukraine.
For most of our lives, we were told to fear Russia's enormous #military power. Now we're watching that #myth fall apart in real time.
At this point, you almost have to wonder whether, with #Ukraine on our side, we could have invaded #Russia a decade ago instead.

#FotoVorschlag - Brunnen
Photo theme - fountain
This is the Gefion fountain in Copenhagen, donated by Carlsberg and built around the start of the 20th century. The fountain represents the myth of the forming of Zealand on which Copenhagen sits when the Norse goddess Gefion was promised all the land she could plough in one night by the Swedish king who had not realised she could transform her sons to oxen.
