A happy 2779th birthday to the city of Rome. You really don’t look a day over 2000. 🐺 numismatics.org/collection/1...

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

The New Yorker, "Wondering why people are pining for old technologies - CD players, VCRs, Walkmans. What's behind our longing for inconvenience?"

Inconvenience? I just had to dig seven pages deep to find the unsubscribe for one of the four TV subscriptions I need, I'm measured & optimized against in my supermarket, lamps, music, games, and travel. Every service I love gets enshittified to buy billionaires yachts worth 100 times my house.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

George Lucas Saying “And then 'Senator Crappo' will be the guy who makes the taxes worse"

We should have never doubted this man

1837 color drawing, a plan of the interior of the Tomba delle Bighe (Tomb of the Chariots) showing the frescos, the sarcophagus (now in the British Museum 1838,0608.8) and its contents. It can easily be printed and cut out, everything folding into place to form a 3D version of the tomb. Other cut-outs include all four sides and top of the sarcophagus and the grave goods - mostly armor. Pen and ink and bodycolour inlaid into a second sheet of paper. Verso: faint graphite sketch of the interior of the tomb. British Museum, London (2016,5002.1)

Here's some paper cut-out fun for the whole family: an #Etruscan tomb, complete with 3D sarcophagus, frescoes, *and* grave goods!

This print in the #BritishMuseum was probably from Campanari's 1837 exhibition of Etruscan and Greek antiquities at Pall Mall, London. Print it out! 🏺 1/

Roman period ship sailing within site of a coastline. Hull is painted red and green, Isis is painted on the bow, and the sails are billowing as the 5-person crew works on deck. Based on the Anse de Laurons 2 shipwreck, a 15-m long sailing merchant ship.

Isometric view of a Pompeiian tavern. Fire is on in the oven, smoke and steam from hot food fill the room. Food is on the counter and tables, amphorae are on racks and leaning against walls and furniture. Walls and counter are painted. A small dog sleeps in the backroom, visible behind the curtain.

Blue, red, and gilt chairs, benches, and tables with turned legs up against a colorful tapestry in the Great Hall of Guildford Castle. Reconstruction for Historic VR.

Vimose-Illerup Ådal Swords (3rd Century CE). Three variations of Roman Cavalry swords found in a Danish bog. All three have pattern welded blades with swirling patterns, and gold and silver handles. Center sword has a brown wood guard and pommel, and mottled red and black scabbard. Sword on the left has ebony pommel and guard, and on the right is an ivory variant.

People say “online isn’t real life” but at this point I feel like online is more real in some ways. This is something the US President actually did - but if you describe it to someone who is offline they would think you were lying!!

The picture shows a toy sword, a toy hammer, and a toy weaver's comb. All three are made of wood

A glimpse into #childhood in Roman #Egypt - some wooden action #toys from Karanis: a toy sword, a toy hammer, and a toy weaver's comb.

This is not just a number.

This is one million people who have had to leave their homes and often their beloved pets. They’ve had to leave behind Christmas cards their toddlers made, framed family photos, food, clothing, their father’s stamp collection, safety, and their memories.

"there are crazy, dangerous people on public transit!" lol, have you ever been on a highway in the US? I'd much rather hear some guy shouting conspiracy theories than get killed by someone in a giant pickup who was doing 20 over the speed limit while watching tiktok

Oh yeah, those things that see constant wear and tear and need to be regularly fixed? Let’s incase them in solid, load bearing, concrete so a 20min pipe replacement job takes 2 days of jackhammering and another day of waiting for the new concrete to cure and costs thousands of $ 🤌

I want to have a word with whatever 20th C architects/engineers/builders decided routing water and sewage pipes within the concrete slab foundation of a building was a good idea and should be standard.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Brutal.

Pyrrhus coming back to Epirus after intervening in Italy and Sicily, being unable to control the Strait of Messina from the Carthaginians, and turning Rome into a regional superpower.

Earthset from Artemis II. I am overcome.

Also, we can get to the moon faster than a train can travel across the US. It's like our infrastructure is perpetually stuck in 1965.

Absolutely incredible Nutella ad.

feel like there should be more hype around the fact that there is a moonshot tonight

I am forever disinterested in the commercialization aspects of space flight. I dream of the stars because they are beautiful, not because it could make rockets more powerful or Instagram more predatory.

I have to accept that in my lifetime all of astrophysics is a PR write-off for the military

Yup fair, that’s a pretty normal size intersection in postwar Dutch development, which was (and is) very car-centric. The wide right-of-way is partially why it’s easier to include grade separated bike infrastructure too compared to some other places.

Overall agree with your point, NL is way more sprawling than most people realize. On the flip side, one of the main arguments in other countries about why people don’t bike is things being too far apart - but people actually seem to bike more in the sparser areas in NL because of the better infra

Tbf the Verona one is clearly just outside the old core - the area around Delft old town looks very similar (except they buried the old railway viaduct and restored part of the old canal moat above it)

The Merchant of Venice is a political text. Old Man's War is a political text. Star Wars is a political text. Even an instructional design textbook is a political text! All texts encode or challenge assumptions about the world.

THERE IS NO TRUE NEUTRAL POSITION.
