The live Europa Q&A with archaeologist @aalekas.bsky.social.

And what a corker it was! We went from immigration policy, operatic deaths, and immaculate conception, to ancient tax havens, property theft, and flying penises.

This was a profound episode dense with ideas, unexpected connections and relevance for our times.
Deeply satisfying.
As always, it requires another hearing.
What a colossal piece of research!
I haven’t tracked down the link to the images yet.
Thankyou Alex, for this peerless podcast.

“The conversation about Britishness should be for many voices, but we do have a duty as politicians to help define it, because it will be a contested line in our politics, going forward. More crudely in elections, but more broadly for us as a country.” Loved chatting to @jeevunsandher.bsky.social.

PROMETHEUS: I Don't Want to Set The World On Fire Podcast Episode · Alex Andreou's Podyssey · 08/02/2026 · 1h 28m

Prometheus. Possibly the most urgent and evergreen of myths from @alexpodyssey.bsky.social. Alex retells his version with humour, then explores it with others and reshapes it with unexpectedly supportive images, icons that linger in the way that only a great story can. An achievement. A keeper.

If pouring one's love into a project matters, you can find pretty much all of mine in this Season 2 opener.

From Aeschylus to Blade Runner, Goethe to The Hulk, and Frankenstein to Musk, some stories are simply so cosmic they alter how we actually see the world.

Fortidens stemmer i en digital tidsalder og NTNU strategier - Det er bekymringsfullt at NTNU i sin visjon og praksis fremhever teknologi, men nedprioriterer humaniora. Det skriver arkeolog og førstebibliotekar ved NTNU Universitetsbiblioteket.

Humaniora er studiet av det menneskeskapte. Data og teknologi er også noe menneskeskapt.

"Humaniora gir oss innsikten i hvorfor og hvordan teknologi bør brukes. Uten denne balansen risikerer vi at kulturarven reduseres til datasett, løsrevet fra de menneskelige erfaringene som gir den verdi."

Before Medusa was monstrous, she was beautiful. And before she was beautiful, she was powerful. She is a riddle that defies solution, from a time before the shape of things was settled.

This is probably the episode that I would Clockwork-Orange-force every Labour politician to listen to.

The amount of work that went into this 75 minutes almost killed me. I hope you get a lot of joy and insight from it. x

Visual investigations become a mainstay of news "Visual investigations are poised to move from niche desks to standard operating procedure in newsrooms in 2025."

"Journalists will need to pair technical verification with contextual analysis to uncover what visual material reveals, what it excludes, and how it shapes competing narratives," @stalebg.bsky.social writes.
