*sigh* No, that’s just the effect of several centuries of rain through an iron grate. Nobody was wasting precious oil during a siege. they were throwing piss

A Reddit post with a wall with a black stain and the caption
Down a grate, defenders at the top of this tower would toss scalding hot grease down at their enemies. The stain is still on the wall centuries later.

More and more I am hearing from archivist pals who are receiving enquiries for records that don't exist because AI has somehow generated fake catalogue numbers and titles...

The Cleveland Museum of Art will display the ancient bronze Draped Male Figure one last time before returning it to Turkey. Once thought to depict Marcus Aurelius, the statue was linked to looting from Bubon. On view through July 8 after a legal settlement. buff.ly/ASAXj90

Seventy years ago, the writer Lewis Mumford warned that urban highways would be a disaster: “This is pyramid building with a vengeance, a tomb of concrete roads and ramps covering the dead corpse of a city.” He was right. We just didn’t listen. Me, in CityLab 🧵

The Dark Prophet of Car-Clogged Cities

70 years before congestion pricing landed in New York City, Lewis Mumford sounded the alarm on letting automobiles run amok in America’s downtowns.

If the reports I've seen are correct about the extent of the damage are correct, *three* Richard Meier beach houses along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu may have been destroyed in the LA fires: The Ackerberg House (1986), The Broad House (2001) and The Morton Residence (2006)

This Christmas spare a thought for Theodoric the Great, king of the Ostrogoths, and his court, who being a follower of the Arian heresy got cancelled from the mosaics in Sant’Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna. They left a hand behind, though.

Postmodernist architecture may be fine when it is designed with tons of irony, but it can be so harmful if designed seriously. This is an example of the latter #postmodernisminpuertorico #postmodernhaha #moreisabore
