Yeah, it’s a statue created 1800 years ago, when it was copied from the original bronze, which is at least 2100 years old. It’s in the national museum in Rome!

I really want to find a 3D scan of this lovely Roman sculpture that we could 3D print, or a reproduction piece - if anyone has leads.

Yeah, this is technically nudity and I should have self-labeled for that, but it is not sexually suggestive or adult.

The funniest thing about “who is funding you” question is that believe it or not, we are also all trying to find an answer to that question so we can get paid.

His fellow officers: “Destroy that twink!” San Sebastián:
Guido Reni (Bologna 1575 - Bologna 1642)

St. Sebastian
oil on canvas
Sebastian, an officer in the Praetorian guard dur-ing the time of the emperor Diocletian (284-305 AD), became a Christian and suffered martyrdom at the hands of his fellow officers. Guido Reni uses classical references to focus on the mystical aspects of the episode rather than on Sebastian's suffering. The painting dates from around 1615, and a second version can be seen in the Palazzo

US Gov’t Interferes To Get Foreign Sponsors To Drop Conference Because A Panel Asks If The US Engages In Foreign Information Interference
One of the most bizarre things over the last few years is how two guys, Michael Shellenberger and Matt Taibbi, bumbling around cosplaying as "free speech" experts, have done tremendous damage to free speech. After Elon Musk brought them in to report on the so-called "Twitter Files," the two of them spun up nonsense tales...

Starting late this month, look for the first in a series of blog posts about the future of Skywatch and what I’m hoping to do to help users learn about building their own moderation services. For now, though, the grass touching resumes.

Now that Politico has confirmed that there was a diplomatic cable to US embassies instructing them to pressure sponsor countries, I’m very curious if they were coordinating with Shellenberger to put pressure on researchers.

Guess what? I had some *thoughts* on Michael Shellenberger & the State Dept's Sarah Rogers losing their minds about a disinfo conference in Lithuania having a panel exploring if the US interferes in foreign information systems... and then interfering to get the conference sponsors to pull out.

Some politicians are braver than others, have a stronger moral compass than others. Those are the ones who, like @annaluehrmann.eurosky.social (on @eurosky.social 💖!), work for their citizens rather than in submission to US adversaries.
