Angel that looked like Giorgia Meloni removed from Rome church fresco

Vatican appears to have ordered removal of restored work, which artist confessed he had made to resemble PM

The face of a winged angel bearing a striking resemblance to the Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni has been erased from a fresco in a historic Rome church, putting an end to a debacle that embarrassed the Vatican.

The image on the wall painting in a chapel of the Basilica of St Lawrence in Lucina in central Rome was removed overnight, leaving the cherub headless.

Actually Pretty Neat: The Latest Epstein Files Dump Has Been Redacted In A Way Where The Remaining Words Tell An Epic Story About An Icy Kingdom Ruled By A Giant Skeleton King Named ‘Archmarian Of The Frostland’

Well, after right-wingers and left-wingers alike have been waiting with bated breath for what seemed like an eternity, the latest Epstein files dump is finally here. And while, as expected, the files have been significantly redacted and appear to be missing key pieces of information, there is something pretty neat going on: This latest Epstein files dump has been redacted in a way where the remaining words tell an epic story about an icy kingdom ruled by a giant skeleton king named “Archmarian of The Frostland.”

Wow! Even though this gives the appearance that Trump’s Justice Department is definitely trying to hide something, it’s still pretty creative! 

The latest dump contains over three million pages of emails, reports, and documents pertaining to investigations into the late financier and convicted sex offender, all of which have been redacted so that they tell an epic dark fantasy tale in the spirit of George R.R. Martin or J.R.R. Tolkien. There’s no doubt that it was a real challenge for Trump’s DOJ to redact the massive trove of documents in a way that not only concealed any wrongdoing by Trump and his associates, but also whisked readers away into a frostbitten kingdom of The Frostland, a world of brutal warfare and powerful magic ruled by an ancient evil. 

Check out some of their incredible handiwork here! 

Wow! We can’t wait to wade through the remaining 3.5 million pages and find out what happens to Archmarian and his reign of icy terror!

Yep, folks, this is how you redact documents to protect powerful people who have committed unthinkable crimes. While releasing the unredacted Epstein files may have helped bring many powerful people to justice, at least this version shows that creativity and imagination still exist in a world that is getting darker by the day. This is pretty damned neat!

Massale ontslagen bij The Washington Post wegens bezuinigingen

De nieuwsredactie en de buitenlandredactie van dit journalistieke instituut worden flink ingekrompen, en de sport- en boekenredactie zelfs volledig opgeheven. De belangrijkste reden zijn bezuinigingen. De krant maakte in 2023 en 2024 ongeveer 177 miljoen dollar verlies.
