For #AncientSiteSunday the #Hellenistic theatre at Pergamon, #Türkiye, built in the 3rd century BC, alterations were made in the #Roman period. It's one of the steepest known ancient theatres. The capacity was about 10,000 spectators. 📷️ C. Bredfeldt 🏺
A full shot of the ruins of an ancient theatre, located on a hillside.  The theatre's steep tiered seating structure is clearly visible, constructed of light gray stone blocks, weathering evident in various tones. The hillside surrounding the theatre is covered with grass, creating a contrast between the man-made stone structures and the natural landscape. Sections of crumbling stone walls and foundations are scattered throughout the grassy slopes.

I hate this. Replies and quotes are disabled because the poster knows it’s crap. Musk is shit. Sagan didn’t say that. But he *did* write: “There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate… Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.”
A post from someone with the text: “I’m with Carl Sagan on this.” then an image of Elon Musk with the text: “"Mars is the
ultimate lifeboat for human
consciousness.
Expanding our footprint across the stars is an
absolute biological imperative to outlive the inevitable decay of earth."
ELON MUSK” alongside an image of Carl Sagan with the text: “"Abandoning a dying planet instead of
healing it is the ultimate hubris.
Escaping to the stars is just a
billionaire's fantasy to avoid cleaning up the mess left behind."

Matthew Syed reckons we need "more bouts of unemployment" to make "the economy more vital and dynamic". You first, mate. I hope your unemployment will make you "happier and healthier". Or did you only mean other people?
Matthew Syed

There is nothing neoliberal about our culture of debt and bailouts

Andy Burnham's analysis of the country is completely wrong. We should be waking capitalism from its comaWe need more boom and bust. More economic turbulence. More bankruptcy. More bouts of unemployment. I mean this literally. Everyone will be richer, happier and healthier, and the economy more vital and dynamic.

Incredible how the editors at @nytimes.com still don't understand how embarrassing it is to do this, and how it undermines the credibility of the paper and its journalists. It's like a toddler covering their face to play hide and seek. We see you but it's not cute, you look like an asshole.

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

"People are being priced out, from wealth creators to nurses..." I'm going to stop you there because, "I can't afford to buy a house" is not the same thing as "I have plenty of money but I am being asked to pay too much tax"

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Best part of this muddled article by one of Bloomberg's money guys is that two of the charts make a compelling case that knee-jerk opposition to AI is wholly justified because technological progress doesn't increase productivity, it just enables greater income extraction by capital. Oops!

Making something legally not mine in my car
Location: Columbus ohio
Could I put a bin in my car with a label to make sure cops know something in my car isn't mine. I'm 18 but my mom and brother are over the age of 21 and sometimes they will leave liquor or weed in my car. I don't want to get pulled over and get a possession charge for it is there any way I can make it legally not mine while in my car. So they don't have to come to my house to pick it up every time.

Not to sound doomerish, but I suspect a lot of people are hoping that at some point prices/costs will go down again, and it's really hard to see where that is going to come from in the near future - if at all Not only are these higher costs the new normal, they will likely keep getting worse
