Total eclipse of the heart! Did you know we hold two copies of only three known Irish translations of Messahalah's De orbibus coelestibus? Our astronomical tracts date from the 14th or early 15th century, and the third copy is held by our friends at @marshslibrary.bsky.social 🌘🔭

It is kind of incredible how many bars and restaurants now have AI generated logos, and how most of them are generic ideas that could have been perfectly done with clipart.

A little bear figurine carved from amber some 6,000 years ago! 🐻❤️ Named ‘Słupcio’ (‘little guy from Słupsk’) through a children’s naming competition! A hole through its torso suggests it was worn or suspended from a cord, perhaps as a hunting amulet. 📷 National Museum in Szczecin #Archaeology

Photo by G. Solecki/A. Piętak of a small figurine of a bear carved out of amber between 9600 and 4100 BC. The amber is a deep translucent orange. The display lighting makes the amber glow. The bear's head is carved to show ears, mouth, nostrils and eyes. A hole runs through the bear's belly, suggesting it was threaded onto a cord. Dimensions: Length 10.2 cm, Height 4.2cm

It was discovered in Słupsk during peat mining in 1887. According to the museum catalogue record "Shortly after its discovery, the figure underwent conservation work to restore its original appearance as it was covered with a layer of dull patina from the exposure to the minerals contained in the peat. Already at that time, at the end of the 19th century, it was assumed the restoration had gone too far. The figure was stripped entirely of patina, the anatomical features of the animal were emphasised, the eyes and nostrils were sharply drawn, and the amber was carefully polished".

In 2013, a competition was organised by the Education Department of the National Museum in Szczecin, for children to choose a name for the bear. The winning name was 'Słupcio’, an affectionate diminutive meaning ‘little guy from Słupsk’.

Most people think Hades is the ruler of the underworld in Greek myth, but, in actual ancient sources, Persephone holds greater prominence and authority. In this post, I argue that she is the underworld's main ruler. #GreekMyth #Hades #Persephone #classics talesoftimesforgotten.com/2026/08/05/i...

At a recent archaeology conference I was shocked to see AI-generated reconstructions of Māori sites—these are racist tools trained on old northern -hemisphere assumptions. Maybe work with an artist, or learn to draw? theconversation.com/historical-i...

Less than 4 days left until the release! Fun fact: on my first call with Daniel, I started going over the pronunciations for the fencing terms in the book when he stopped me to let me know that he was also a fencer, so he already knew them. It let me know I definitely picked a good narrator.

I'm still thinking about the Backrooms movie, and it is very interesting how this fascination with the backrooms (and liminal spaces) is a symbol of a generation who grew up without third places, around abandoned malls, empty stores and the regurgitation of nostalgia. The failures of capitalism.

I'm in a "fuck technique" era lately. Sometimes I wonder if I could draw forgetting my skills, but of course I know I can't. I can, at best, try another style or media I'm not familiar with. I also think that I shouldn't take it so seriously and just draw and have a good time. But I guess I can't.

Nobody asked for this but I've done it anyway - on the Odyssey and why this sort of thing is particularly annoying. A few key points will follow in the thread.

On the Odyssey, because

Christopher Nolan filmed the Odyssey in Greece without a single Greek actor. Here are almost 3,000 words on why that's not surprising.

Ted Chiang on AI: www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

Being open to the possibility that LLMs are conscious is the same as being open to the possibility that Microsoft Word is conscious, or, more precisely, that multiple distinct consciousnesses are dormant in every Word document containing a conversational transcript, and that they are awakened every time the document is loaded. Should you consider the possibility that every time you open a Word document you are bringing multiple conscious interlocutors into existence, and every time you close one you snuff their existence out? No. Contemplating that scenario is not a good use of your time. Even if the Microsoft Office team employed a philosopher who said you shouldn’t be so certain, because consciousness is not well understood, that would not be sufficient reason for you to take this idea seriously. We don’t need to fully understand the nature of consciousness to definitively say that certain things are not conscious, and conversational transcripts fall in that category.
