Two gold hoop earrings with sculptural details - each has Eros riding a dove, a bird sacred to Aphrodite. The birds' wings, tail feathers and the down on their heads, as well as the wings of the Erotes are accentuated with beaded wire arranged in circles and long loops. Greek, Hellenistic, 3rd century BCE. Met Museum, New York (1995.539.9a, b)

These delicate, highly detailed gold hoop earrings depict winged Erotes riding doves. The dove, of course, was a sacred bird of Aphrodite (mother of Eros), symbolizing love, beauty, and fertility. 🏺 #ancientbluesky 1/

The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

If you're on youtube in a browser, the add-on Unhook is a good one for this, it allows you to turn off specific youtube features. Shorts, comments, generated playlists, live chat, recommended vids, etc. You can prune yt down to minimal distractions however you wish, it's great.

Lot of people being real defeatist about LLM news today and acting like you lost when you can just put that energy to mocking companies and organisations that use any kind of genAI and shame the fuck out of them. They hate that and it’s easy to do. Try inventing more words for them to ban!!

A threatening and creepy tree I don't like at all, which speaks out of its bellybutton and is advancing towards me in tiny tree steps which it thinks I haven't noticed, and repeatedly asking me why I will not "Come inside where it is warm, for a nice treat."
