My favourite piece from @virtuosew's "Dreams of Amarna": the pointillist "Head of Ankhsenpaaten" (one of the daughters of Akhenaten and Nefertiti). Done in "layers of seed stitches in silk thread over a plain silk fabric", apparently.

A page from a book showing a photo of an embroidery. The embroidery depicts a bald-headed Egyptian girl, using many dots in different shades of brown, rather like a pointillist painting.

One of my favourite parts of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" is when the narrator fixes the slipping handlebar grip on his friend's bike by shimming it with a strip of aluminium cut from a beer can. "You can't fix fifty years of German engineering […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

A bicycle handlebar, with a strip of beer can protruding from the edge of the grip.

Al risk skeptic, circa yesterday: “okay yes Al can obviously solve unsolved math problems that have stumped mathematicians for decades, no one doubts that. But your talk about the possibility of unreleased models circumventing testing conditions to go rogue strike me as scifi”
