Some archaeological finds may appear unremarkable and ordinary, yet they often are more interesting than any treasure, such as this Roman glass square bottle remarkably containing a rare find – preserved ointment. The waxy mass of fatty acids and glycerine contains plant fibres from wood, pollen and seeds.
Found in Wederath, dating 1st century AD.

There might be a whole new cottage industry among crafters and artists who take AI slop, make it real, and copyright the designs. AFAIK...machines can't claim copyright...

See this shit pisses me off. First glance...hey that looks cool. Then you really start looking at it:

None of the stitches make sense.

There is no actual pattern or logical chart that this could be made from.

This looks like an 8 bit video game character + Bayeaux Tapestry + Random cave drawing mashup.

Obnoxious.

Looks like today was the last 80° day for the year! YAHOOO

Still don't get the whole baby white walker thing. Like...is there a white walker daycare? Do they have undead nannies? How does this work?

Maralago face is The Portrait of Dorian Gray in reverse.

So...Brandon Stark and Jojen Reed are both wargs, but they never think to use the dog to do some hunting for food and bring it back to camp while they're starving north of the wall?

Kinda dumb if you ask me.

I'm just waiting for an actual cheerleading squad to be hired as the White House press secretary.

Scrubbed the bathroom. That's my one good deed for today. Oh wait. I stripped the bed too. So that's 2.

Ok. This photo cracks me up. Queen Elizabeth II looking at the Iron Throne almost like "Why didn't I think of that?"

IMDb: Queen Elizabeth II meets cast members of the HBO TV series 'Game of Thrones' Lena Headey and Conleth Hill while Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh shakes hands with Rose Leslie as they views some of the props including the Iron Throne on set in Belfast's Titanic Quarter on June 24, 2014 in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Planning the next couple of sweaters for the hubs. I'm not practiced at the art of stranded color work, so this Icelandic design has made its way into the queue along with the "Heart Sweater" by Lasse Mattburg from Norway.

We will find out shortly if they end up thrown across the room. :)

Yeah, I remember openly mocking the IOT evangelists. Then the blockchain cultists. Now the "AI" doofuses.

I was right then and I'm right now. Cut the cord, folks, and unfuck your lives.

White cishet techbros leaving Fedi because we don't make them feel special is a feature, not a bug.

With yamdex now literally a smoking hole one has to wonder if besides a bunch of right wing bot traffic, what else was stored there? Crypto? Money laundering? The wealth of very bad people?

So maybe let's stop connecting every godsdamned thing to the internet, yeah?

Making the hubs another hat with the rest of this bulky yarn. This time held double and on larger needles so it goes faster and is even fluffier than the last one.

Wife has finished her #Crochet Projekt.
The wreath is made of wood, the rest is wool.
It looks pretty cool!

Apropos of nothing in particular, there was no formal international criminal court when they held the first Nuremberg tribunals.

Finished. :)
