Lost 19th century film by Méliès discovered at the Library | Timeless Library conservators recently made a startling discovery in a batch of decaying film reels -- a long-lost 1897 film by early cinema icon George Méliès. The French magician-turned-filmmaker's

In September, a box of old film reels was donated to the Library's National Audio-Visual Conservation Center. One of them was a nearly 130-year-old, long-lost film by iconic French filmmaker George Méliès. It had not been seen by anyone in likely more than a century. 🧵

Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about.

Their stories should be known:

I may have a picture somewhere but it will be a slide somewhere in storage 😆

I love these graptolite models. I seem to remember some on display at the Sedgwick museum in the 1990s

what would happen if the colonial phrases were included? The book itself is the language of basalt, is adding text just reestablishing historical power imbalance? If not, what else could I add or change in the book?

PS: exhibition opens on Thursday 5 March at the print council of Australia gallery

If I reproduce this evidence of colonialism, am I merely perpetuating it? This question has come up repeatedly. For example I have in this unfinished book (other books in the series stand on their own, and will be exhibited unaltered, where the lithic comes through strongly),

Ok so this is a question for everyone: I’ve been working on a project about finding the lithic (geological) in an archive. Needless to say I didn’t find more than traces of the more-than-human and at times I found extreme (if poetic) examples of colonialism instead.

I am curious (and cannot access databases behind paywalls)

Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball?

According to a Sumerian proverb, “The dog understands ‘Take it!’ It does not understand ‘Put it down!’”

Interesting study, but coverage is undermined by using fake AI-generated fossils ("Credit: AI/ScienceDaily.com") rather than authentic specimens. I am not aware of any actual Ediacaran fossils that look like this. To be clear, this is a criticism of Science Daily, not the authors of the study.
