The Gates of Horn and Ivory #illustration #illumination #vellum #watercolor #alchemy #sketchbook
An scanned image of an illumination on vellum. There are two gates or archways that form a triangle with the picture plane. The column that form these archways are a swirling mixture of ochres, black, and white. Through the gates flow curls of mist in metallic silver. Above this main subject, there is the motto “Credendo Vides.” Below the gates and coming from what may be a path or ribbons from the gates are a series of marks that may be words.

Infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters sure we know it we love it BUT who is feeding the typewriters? Is this a paperclip machine scenario where all sentient life is now some variation of a monkeys secretary? And who’s checking the work in this Borgesian library of babel here

One nice thing about gremlin is he will come and knock my phone out of my hand and bonk his head on my nose as hard as he can if I’m looking at Instagram reels for too long. One bad thing about him is he’ll also do this if I’m reading a book

At the end of the film the odyssey Matt Damon's character of Odysseus returns in disguise and his son, Telemachus played by Tom Holland, does not recognise him. He asks of the stranger along the lines of “Where is my father” and odysseus says “Odysseus is close :-)” something like that. It reminded me immediately of the moment in the empire strikes back where Luke asks Yoda “Where is Yoda” and Yoda says “Not far”, so this is a humorously handmade conflation of the two moments, where sodas name has been poorly replaced with Odysseus.  In the top panel Luke (with tom Hollands head) spoons stew from the pot and asks “How far away IS oddyseus, will it take us long to get there?” and in the second panel a grinning matt Damon peeking out from yodas kitchen says “Not far. Odysseus not far”. Hopefully that helps the joke translate but honestly I feel like I over explained it. An extra for alt-text readers; the text is supposed to look like I took a screenshot of the subtitles from the film and jammed Odysseus’ name in there afterwards, but I actually put *all* the text in afterwards. Hopefully it looks believable.

screenshot of a suggested YouTube video that I haven't clicked on. Looks like a clip from the new historical Larry David show but obviously filmed off a tv or computer screen b/c the colours are off and it's skewed. Its got 58k views
