On this day, 2 May 1968, the University of Paris at Nanterre was closed down by the administration following months of conflict between students and the authorities, the first significant event in the May 1968 rebellion. This is a great eyewitness diary of the movement: http://bit.ly/2WjNnSghttp://bit.ly/2DIWlkS

The three-eyed snake warns The Dry is coming!
Our Rangers found a three-eyed snake on the Arnhem Highway near Humpty Doo just out of Darwin. It was a juvenile, approximately 40cm long.
The snake is peculiar as an x-ray revealed it was not two separate heads forged together, rather it appeared to be one skull with an additional eye socket and three functioning eyes.
It was generally agreed that the eye likely developed very early during the embryonic stage of development. It is extremely unlikely that this is from environmental factors and is almost certainly a natural occurrence as malformed reptiles are relatively common.
It’s been a while since I did a piece of Anup, though I have a lot of scattered sketches around in my notebooks and hard drive. Since he was the catalyst in my re-emergence and I largely consider him the foundation of my practice, it was definitely time to give him a little love. Dua!
On this day, 2 May 1968, 4,000 workers in the Hamtramck auto plant in Detroit walked out against speed up. Several black strikers met in a bar across the road, and founded the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement to organise black workers. Two months later they organised their first wildcat strike. DRUM inspired similar groups at other plants which later came together to become the League of Revolutionary Black Workers.
