Up now on my eBay! Rare 1970′s anime production cel from Toei animation! This cel is from either Starzinger or Captain Future, it has been hard to identify! Also up for grabs: my superheroine comic collection (70’s-80’s stuff), random Radio Comix books and various indie comics! My house is super small, and I am still selling off thirty years’ worth of collectibles to raise money for ongoing back taxes & various upcoming large expenses, so every little bit helps. Thanks for looking & sharing!
The return of violence comes as President Recep Erdogan, who agreed to a five-day truce in his military offensive with US Vice President Mike Pence, vowed to ‘crush the heads’ of Kurdish forces if they do not retreat from a 120-kilometre stretch of the border.
Turkey’s offensive, launched earlier this month, has prompted hundreds of thousands to flee their homes - the latest humanitarian crisis of Syria’s eight-year civil war.
Earlier today a Turkish soldier was killed and another wounded in an attack by Syrian Kurdish forces near the Tal Abiad border town by what the Turkish defence ministry called ‘terrorists’.
‘One of our heroic comrades fell martyr and another was wounded after anti-tank and small arms fire by… terrorists during their reconnaissance and surveillance mission,’ the ministry said in a statement.
The army returned fire in self-defence, it added.
Further east along the Syria-Turkey border, a militia group in the town of Ras al-Ayn posted a disturbing video in which they proudly claimed they would display the heads of any Kurdish 'infidel’ they find.
In the footage, one of the group shouts: 'Desist sons of Muwali. We’ve come to behead you, you infidels, you apostates. God willing, we’re coming for you.’
Another adds: 'Just a few hours and we’ll show you the (decapitated) heads.’
A third then quips: 'Victory only comes from God! With beheading.’
Another, more graphic video was also posted, showing summary executions believed to be on the M4 highway, an east-west road further inside Syria.
The head spokesman for the Syrian Democratic Forces posted the footage, saying: 'Turkish-backed armed groups threaten to behead any “infidel Kurd” they capture on their way to NE Syria.
'To all those who are worried that ISIS may come back. ISIS is already back to NE Syria with Turkish protection.’
my singing voice is good for showers and mornings in the kitchen and drunken nights and lullabies for babies who need sleep and im okay with this
i think it’s silly to be ashamed of your art because it’s not in a museum and of your voice because it’s not selling out stadiums. there will always be people who enjoy and appreciate what you can do.
Idk why but this hit me really hard and I’ve been staring at it for a couple minutes.
The sword of King Tutankhamun is a single piece of bronze divided into three parts. The first part is the hilt, which is black. The second and third parts form the blade.
The second part is straight, on the same level as the handle, and is engraved with the figure of a lotus flower with a long stem. The third part is bent to form a curve, and is engraved with a long stripe.
The shape of this sword is the same as the sword held by the figure of the king, depicted on the perforated and gilded wood votive shield that was found in the tomb, and is considered to be ceremonial in purpose. The Khopesh sword is an Egyptian sickle-sword that evolved from battle axes.
From the Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62), Valley of the Kings, West Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 61588
