Yes, it really happened—at least during the Colosseum's opening games in 80 AD under Emperor Titus. Ancient sources like Cassius Dio and Suetonius describe flooding the arena (via aqueducts and channels) for naumachiae—mock naval battles with small ships and fighters reenacting historic clashes. Water was likely shallow (~1m deep), enough for the spectacle before the underground hypogeum was added later. Engineering flex! 🏛️🌊

@Russ__ATX @WorldScholar_ The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II was designed in 1861 and built between 1865 and 1877 by architect Giuseppe Mengoni. First stone laid in 1865; partial inauguration 1867; fully completed/opened 1877. (Mengoni died the day before the final opening—falling from scaffolding.)

NEW: ABC's "Bachelorette" caught on camera allegedly attacking her ex-boyfriend and throwing a chair at him, which appeared to hit her child.
The "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star is reportedly under investigation for domestic violence.
"The Draper City Police Department in Utah [is investigating] the allegations on both sides after a recent incident," Variety recently reported.
It's unclear if the police are investigating this incident or a separate one.
Paul is set to star in Season 22 of “The Bachelorette," which reportedly starts in 3 days.
Insane.

@hasanthehun Iran was obliterated on day one. All they can do is fire cheap shots at random neighboring countries, and antagonize the Strait of Hormuz. 6 months from now, Trump could make himself their new Ayatollah if he so chooses.

@YourAnonNews @elonmusk "inventing flying cars" implies affordable, mass produced flying cars for the general public.

@Russ__ATX @elonmusk Shows how stupid you are. Flying cars already exist.

@Prontoshot @Russ__ATX @IGN I'm honestly surprised more people don't talk more about the stale ue5 look we get in everything now

"I play games to experience a crafted piece of artistry. DLSS 5 offers none of this, instead replacing the paintbrush held in a human hand with an AI slopping a big vat of oil over the canvas. What are we doing here?" bit.ly/41cj96R

@Russ__ATX @IGN ... Cyberpunk 2077 has some of the most realistic lighting, and Death Stranding 2 has some of the most photo real human characters.
Artists aren't being restricted by technology, they're limited by time and budget and stylistic choice.

@cenkuygur @piersmorgan We can't abandon our greatest ally. We need to go all in.

@piersmorgan Iran doesn’t want to stop. Israel doesn’t want to stop. We do. Here’s how we resolve that conundrum- we leave! Let them fight it out. Israel wanted this war, we have no interests left in Iran, we’ll let our greatest ally handle it from here. Have at it, hoss.
