I'm an ignorant American, what's the significance of the bull/ox?
That woman on the bull is Europa (Ancient Greek Εὐρώπη, Eurṓpē), daughter of the Phoenician king Agenor, lived about 2000 BCE. The bull is the shapeshifted Zeus that is kidnapping Europa. They had sex and sired Minos, king of Crete. Minos is the one who feed the Minotaur by sending children into its labyrinth.
Yeah Greek mythology is weird.
You know, I watched that show Netflix canceled, with Jeff Goldblum, and so I'm like, hey, that's right! Sure, could've paid attention in school, but better Nate than lever.

Wait, I thought the minotaur was the son of the king of Minos' wife? Did gods do double-damage on his bloodline?
I bet they did more than that.
The whole god/demigod/etc. ancestry is totally fucked up. Zeus copulated with every woman he could find, even his sisters!

EU - "Nation States"
Thanks! I just googled it and it mentioned "Europa and the bull" representing unity and peace.
We could definitely use some of that, but unfortunately we just get a bunch of what the bull leaves behind instead... :/
Makes me wanna cry
They skipped the part where after the war we took the nazi scientists too...
But the old nazis were really into science, modern nazis not so much.
I don't think other countries are going to be chasing our science deniers like we chased rocket and medical scientists after the war.
You don’t think Europe wants our 19 year old whiz kids whose laptops overheat from processing excel files?
I think the big disconnect with that is government laptops....
If someone told me their government laptop caught fire when they joined a Teams call where two people had a camera on. I'd believe them.
But no government employee will tell you a story like that, because it is completely unremarkable and expected. It's like a Park Ranger of 15 years losing his shit when he saw a squirrel...
If you're used to using a gaming laptop to edit text files and suddenly you have to use a shitty $300 government issue laptop, it's going to shock you.
But the solution to that is funding the government. I'm not a big Obama guy, but at least he gave agencies money for laptops. trump and Biden love cutting corners though, which just translates to paying people to watch a screen scroll by slower because of a slow laptop.

Well...hopefully they'll get chased. Just not for the same reasons.
