Horse Art (9 Photos)
From cobbled alleys in Amsterdam to sunlit beaches and snowy Moscow nights, these nine horse-themed street artworks showcase the raw energy, grace, and symbolism of one of humanity’s oldest companions. You’ll find everything from 3D illusions rising from the pavement to towering silo murals glowing with emotion. Whether sculpted from sand, painted with photorealism, or rendered through abstract color fields, each piece reimagines the horse in its own way—playful, powerful, surreal, or poetic.

The image is a humorous comparison between two types of auras, labeled "WEAK AURA" on the left and "STRONG AURA" on the right. The left side features a dark silhouette of a person surrounded by various weapon icons, with a label "ENGINEERING KIT" and a description "Further reduces recoil when crouching or prone by 30%." Below this, there is text stating, "I will engage the enemy at a safe and strategic distance while retreating to more favourable positions." The right side shows a glowing figure with a bright aura, surrounded by icons including a car, a tree, and a bag, with a label "DEMOCRACY PROTECTS" and a description "50% chance to not die when taking lethal damage." Below this, there is text stating, "FUCK IT WE BALL F*K IT WE BALL FK IT WE BALL F*K IT WE BALL." The overall theme humorously contrasts cautious gameplay with reckless behavior.

On the right, the text reads: "HELLDIVERS ILLUMINATE I love genocide" with an image of a large, armored character holding a weapon. The meme humorously contrasts the complexity of the character's actions with a straightforward, dark statement.

‘Render it unusable’: Israel’s mission of total urban destruction (+972 Magazine, 2025-05-15)

———
>> While airstrikes account for mass casualties, bulldozers and explosives are flattening Gaza from the ground — what soldiers say is a systematic campaign to make the Strip unlivable, a joint investigation reveals.
>> Y., a soldier who recently returned from reserve duty in Rafah, described the army’s demolition methods to +972 Magazine and Local Call. “I secured four or five bulldozers [from another unit], and they demolished 60 houses per day. A one or two story house, they take down within an hour; a three or four-story house takes a bit longer,” he said. “The official mission was to open a logistical route for maneuvering, but in practice, the bulldozers were simply destroying homes. The southeastern part of Rafah is completely destroyed. The horizon is flat. There is no city.”

He is holding a spherical object with a glowing red center, which appears to be a weapon or gadget. The object is predominantly brown with orange accents. The man is smiling widely, showing his teeth, and his eyes are wide open, conveying excitement or anticipation. The background is a plain, warm-colored wall, providing a neutral backdrop that highlights the man and the object he is holding. At the top of the image, there is a text overlay that reads "Barrage," likely indicating the name of the object or a related action.
