A charming painting of two Kathak dancers Rajasthan, 1770 artsandculture.google.com/asset/two-wome… Mughal emperors patronised Kathak dance, and promoted it in court. Aesthetically, it features Persian elements, but often tells the stories of Hindu epics. Great example of cultural fusion

“The Evolution of Religions” - a fascinating new book by Lance Grande. My review & research questions Discusses religious differences concerning the afterlife, war, violence, patriarchy, and secularism ggd.world/p/the-evolutio…
Academics are generally secular. Rarely do academic conferences mention the divine. But most people are spiritual! 42% of Americans believe the dead can communicate with the living. Worldwide, most people are religious So what shaped these beliefs? ggd.world/p/the-evolutio…
For decades, social science has 'known' that women are more religious than men. However, if you track the religiosity of young adults - something really interesting happened. Women are more likely to claim no religious affiliation than men. It started around 2016.
Pre-Islamic Persian art overwhelmingly features battle scenes, the capture of slaves, or a ruler defeating a lion. Glorifies the King’s might and powerful, military men! Cc @Patrick_Wyman @ATabarrok

A fourth century Roman observer remarked of the art of the Persians, “Nothing in their country is painted or sculptured except slaughter in diverse forms and scenes of war”. So true!! And art commissioned by rulers reflects what leaders wanted to glorify.
"You would think the limbs of man and beast were born together, so firmly does the ride always stick to the horse" - 5th century European writer, describing the Huns (whose mobility made them almost impossible to conquer)

Echoing @willknight recommendation to buy @YashengHuang tremendous new book investigating how the Chinese state values & promotes certain norms & customs that provide advantages but these simultaneously stall development & prosperity, which I reviewed for @BooksinFive below! 1/5
That building goes so hard
As an Angeleno/Californian, the scale of new development in Montpellier (pop. ~300,000) is incredible. It’s the fastest growing city in France, and at least a good percentage of that growth is happening at higher densities. This is the Higher Roch Tower, Brenac & Gonzalez, 2022.
@_alice_evans Interesting. I guess it makes sense since without the borders they’d be the same people pretty much. Still cool to know.
SO INTENSE! What an ending! What a score! The movie Challengers was different in tone from what I inferred from the trailer: it was even better! Captivating performances from beautiful people. Maybe my favorite movie of the year so far.
Happy Challengers Day from our only official posters
@_alice_evans In Merida, you have statues of Conqustadors in the main boulevard
@_alice_evans Just popped into my mind: Abdi-Heba who was Canaanite king of Jerusalem: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdi-Heba So, a common Middle Eastern formulation probably and not a clear distinction between servant and slave.
@_alice_evans It's quite common in the Bible to see someone described as slave/servant of god. There is the name 'ovadyahu (Obadiah) a prophet and one of the books of the Bible.
