For the first in I offer you a rare depiction of women loving women in Graeco-Roman art. These ladies are engaged in some good old oral 👌

@AimeeMaroux @antiquidons @phistorians
British Museum, apparently. It was 'mould-made' so possibly there will be copies elsewhere.

This will likely be of interest only to air historians of WWII in East Africa and to a few photographers, but I have just put up a page of one roll of my father's photos recording a road trip in Sudan from RAF Fasher to RAF Geneina in 1940.

Mathematicians: “Art doesn’t require humans because monkeys randomly typing will eventually produce a full set of Shakespeare’s work”

The monkeys:

@thomasfuchs
The alternative perspective is that many hundreds of millions of monkeys were given the opportunity and one of them eventually did come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. There was also just one Euripides.

A funny thing happened on the way to the enshittocene: Google - which astonished the world when it reinvented search, blowing Altavista and Yahoo out of the water with a search tool that seemed magic - suddenly turned into a pile of shit.

My new favorite quote, from the footnotes for Antoninus Liberalis' book:

"A hooked line cast into antiquity pulls in many other lines, all sources of red herrings!"

They might have added that, 'each rabbit hole is connected to every other'.

I love photos like this, but I'm sure it was a mistake on the part of the photographer who didn't pay attention to the background. LOL

@Jgmeadows
It's astonishing how careless some photographers can be, it's almost as though they have done it on purpose to make a point about the subject of the photo.

The Stravinsky as well?

It's been a few years. The last big exhibitions I went to, Joel Meyerowitz, Sebastiao Salgado, and Robert Capa were all 8-9 years ago, and ALL in Italy. Not travelling much now (not at all). 😎
