From Armies of Sand, a classification of different ways a military can be ruined by "politicization":

Palace-Guard-ism: The military is so focused around fighting rebels, terrorists, and other threats to the dictator's power that it's completely unprepared to face a conventional war.

Commissarism: The dictator is terrified that his generals will overthrow him in a coup, so he replaces them all with unqualified but loyal cronies.

Praetorianism: The generals did overthrow the dictator in a coup, now they're the government, and now all the standard failure modes of an autocratic civilian government are happening to them.

An excerpt from the trial of Elinor Crane, who was arrested in Middlesex in 1693 on suspicion of burglary. A witness claimed one of the burglars was a woman in men's clothing, and Elinor had previously been seen in the area dressed as a man.

"But the Court asking her why she went in Mans Apparel, the Prisoner replyed, She went to Wooe a Widow. Upon the whole Matter the Jury brought her in not Guilty."

(source: Old Bailey Proceedings: Accounts of Criminal Trials, April 26, 1693.)

This is how the raised garden beds are coming along btw. I need to put sides on them and construct 2 more on the other side but I have run out of sealant for the cuts and screw holes. Once they're done I'm gonna build a woodchip path between them and put a trellis over the top for climbing plants.

I'm not in a hurry with this project as I'll probably end up using them for compost bins for awhile before using them as garden beds and they'll be easier to use as compost bins if I don't finish constructing them just yet.

An extraordinary Acheulean handaxe knapped around a fossil shell circa 500,000-300,000 years ago.

The maker appears to have deliberately flaked around the shell to preserve and place it in a central position. As a result this handaxe has been described as an early example of artistic thought.
