We've been saying it for years, The Met is not fit for purpose and needs to be broken up at least.
They prey on women, yet British Society blames Trans People for it and let's them off. A copper MURDERED a women he abducted just up the road from me, there's a reason many of them are single....

Not a Trans person in sight, but they get the blame for what Straight men (with a bit of power) are always up to.

What 'good' are The Met and the RSPCA doing here exactly?
When the cat dies, away from their human, will that be called a success by both institutions and then they'll bury the victim in legal bullshit?

The Met and Women, yeah?

RE: https://mastox.eu/@mehdirhasan/116914264656079356
A few years ago the Met shot and killed a man up the street from me using this very tactic.
Copper got away with it of course, you can guess the skin colour of the man he shot. -

It's "Creepy Met Officer of the Week" time again!
"The judge said Arnold had shown little remorse and harbours "deep levels of misogyny", and concluded he had targeted women once he realised they were vulnerable and less able to resist his sexual demands."

The Green Party seems to be the only one truly standing up to Fascism, Colonialism and the general barbarity of the Far Right.

Dear Lovely Peeps, I know this link is going around, but I wanted more information & I finally played for myself.
From the creator: 'The Met's collection skews heavily European. That bias would otherwise dominate the game: far more 17th-century Dutch paintings than sub-Saharan metalwork or pre-Columbian ceramics.
My goal is to create an experience where players encounter cultures and objects they'd rarely find elsewhere. ... The dataset has been weighted to reflect a broader range of cultures and time periods.
Some regions remain underrepresented even so, not because their material cultures are less rich, but because less of their heritage has been digitized, catalogued, or made openly accessible. I will continue to improve this coverage.'
I especially appreciated the links at the end. You are given a chance to revisit all of the day's artifacts, now complete with overview, provenance, references, & #history - plus the ability to see similar pieces according to location, time period, materials, or within the same gallery.
There are even free downloadable booklets of at least some of their collections.
To me, this is not a quick five-minute game you play while waiting for something else to happen; this is something you set time aside for, to understand you are going to be challenged - and you are going to learn. 😊
Your world is about to become so much bigger. 😃
