The incredible #Fremen beach-landing scene from #Dune Part 3 given to me in #Imax 70mm before The #Odyssey was the best part of that movie-going experience.

This morning I took some time to engage once more with Max Liboiron's #Pollution is #Colonialism. Every time, this book challenges and provokes thoughts. Can't recommend it enough. www.dukeupress.edu/pollution-is...

#GenAI is gobbling up #energy, from chips to queries. As this continues, we run ahead towards a catastrophic rise in carbon emissions, #resource depletion, & scarcity wars. This piece by #MIT researchers is scratching the surface of this topic pretty well. www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1...

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.

The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

Drift: a journal of roamings in the margins of archaeology @drift-journal.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

Call for Papers! The Drift is not a place of arrival, but of movement, slow, erratic, persistent. It is a space for thought that slips, for language that leaks, for research that resists tidy conclusions. We welcome work that meanders, that ferments, that doesn’t quite fit elsewhere.

I had a fabulous conversation with my 4.5 y'o daughter this morning about #online piracy. She was simultaneously excited that #pirates do exist (unlike #vampires or #dragons), but oh so confused by how they can possibly operate without boats or parrots.

As always, it's an honour to see one my photos (of La Corona Element 56, excavated in 2015) used by a press to which I contributed. It would be even more fun if I had either been asked (I would of course have agreed), or even told about it 🤷 #epigraphy #archaeology #ancientbluesky #Maya #Guatemala

Every weekday #morning, I walk both of my girls to garderie, and then #walk to campus for work (1.5 km). These days, at 815am, the sunrise is spectacular. #Proximity, as a life choice, is a vastly underrated way to impact one's carbon foot print. But in many contexts, it is also a precious luxury.

David Lynch, creator of the best TV show -- Twin Peaks -- and of amazing films -- e.g., Mulholland Drive -- but most importantly one of the most unique minds of all times, has passed. Somehow, I'm certain he was at peace. www.vulture.com/article/davi...

Y un nuevo artículo traducido del Mayanist. "Observaciones basadas en la fotografía por transiluminación de la Relación de las cosas de Yucatán de Diego de Landa" por Harri Kettunen. Watercolor by Aaron Alfano. www.goafar.org/themayanist #Mayanist #Maya #ancientbluesky #epigraphy

Frontispiece of the article "Observaciones basadas en la fotografía por transiluminación de la Relación de las cosas de Yucatán de Diego de Landa" by Harri Kettunen. The picture on the right side shows the infamous Diego de Landa asking Gaspar Antonio Chi to write down the misconstrued "Maya Alphabet" down for him.

I'm quite impressed with this book by Amanda Podany. As a #Mayanist, the perspective is enchanting. The epigraphic record for #cuneiform tablets is mind-blowing. I now know that the 1st to ever be named in written history, Kushim, was an administrator in charge of beer production. #ancientbluesky

Since 2019, I've edited The Mayanist: an open-access, peer-reviewed, billingual, and illustrated journal on all things Maya. We ask for no $ to publish, opening the door to diverse authors. Read it for free here: goafar.org/themayanist #Archaeology #Maya #Ancientbluesky #Anthropology #openaccess

Cover page of the 11th issue of The Mayanist. The cover is a watercolour by Lucerito Ochoa Say portraying a crouching Maya man wearing a loincloth and holding a vessel filled with ash.

Main plaza of Sacul, in the Maya Mountains, near the Guatemala/Belize Border. Sacul is a truly amazing site, blending a Central Belizean and Peter style of architecture. Hard to reach, but worth the hike. #Archaeology #Maya #Peten #Guatemala #AncientBsky

Stelae surrounded by tropical forest covering ancient Maya architecture in Sacul, Peter, Guatemala. The day is sunny and the contrast between the shaded and sunny parts of the plaza is striking.

Back in 2021, I collaborated with watercolorist extraordinaire Aaron Alfano to produce this amazing reconstruction of the support area of the Later Classic Maya palace of La Corona, Guatemala. I still love this piece very much. #archaeology #watercolor #ancientmaya #palace #reconstruction
