Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · 14/10/2025
A squirrel is standing inside and peeking over the top rim of a hollowed out pumpkin. The top of the pumpkin can be seen behind. The squirrel is wearing a slouchy black witch hat with orange stripes and holding a squirrel-sized chef knife. The knife is because the squirrel has carved the words ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN’ in the side of the pumpkin and in the ground in front the word ‘TODAY’ has been spelled with stringy orange pumpkin guts with seeds scattered all around.

A digital illustration of a possum playing a fretless banjo while sitting inside the open top of a large, greenish human cranium with his little pink feets poking out through the eye holes and his tail curling up from under the front teeth. Also the skull has little blue feathered wings on either side by which means all this appears to be hovering in the air. A long orange ribbon proceeds from near the possum’s mouth to curve behind his head and back around his body to loop around his tail a couple times. Written on the ribbon are the words ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

"I always feel like if I miss a ground ball, it's my fault and I deserve to get hit in the nuts." I might never write a story with better quotes. Inside the divisive subject of protective cups among MLB players: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Inside the Blue Jays' sensitive subject of protective cups
A painful foul ball hit by Blue Jays star Ernie Clement raised questions about the use of protective cups. Turns out different players have different feelings on the subject.

A lot of media coverage of the ‘AI’ reading of the Herculaneum scrolls really fails to understand what’s happened here. There’s no language processing happening, the AI/ML is not trained on a corpus of texts or language. It can detect ink to see shapes. HUMAN EXPERTS are then transcribing the text.
A screenshot from here: https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-02-07-inside-herculaneum-scroll-seen-first-time-almost-2000-years

It explains that the machine learning involves only the detection of ink

It's Epiphany, which means it's time for Cuddling Kings in Medieval art
Gislebertus
Dream of the Magi
1120-30
Stone
Cathedral of Saint-Lazare, Autun

"Master Gislebertus was one of the greatest sculptors of the Middle Ages, who inscribed his name on the tympanum of the main portal of the Sainte-Lazare Cathedral at Autun. The majority of the capitals in the interior of the cathedral are also ascribed to him; most of them are on pilasters and therefore remain firmly connected to the surface. His sculptures are some of the most human, touching works that exist in Romanesque sculpture. The original capitals were removed and are on display in the Musée Rolin near to the Cathedral.

The Dream of the Magi, the capital originally on the east side of the north-east crossing pillar, shows the three crowned figures together under a large, round cover. Two of them are still asleep, but the third has already been woken by the movingly gentle touch of the angel who is pointing the star out to him." (WGA)Three Magi cuddle under a blue blanket as an angel appears in their dream
