Ooh, I had not heard of Chrysospilia ("Golden Cave") on the Greek island of Folegandos! It's home to hundreds of painted ancient inscriptions, from the 7th century BCE onwards apparently. It's not possible to visit sadly. Photos from: www.folegandros.gr/en/list-en/c...

GenAI - the crap gift that just keeps on giving crap. GenAI is not capable of peer review, because it has no capacity for judgement. It can’t tell fact from fiction, let alone sound from shaky analysis. It should be banned, and reviewers who use it named and shamed.

It’s deeply disturbing that FAA Administrator nominee Bryan Bedford refuses to commit to upholding the 1,500-hour pilot training standard. After the DCA crash and surge in near-misses, now is NOT the time to weaken flight training requirements for pilots. I’ll be voting no.

As seen on Craigslist, it seems like not enough people are showing up for Trump's parade so they are having to pay $1000 for Seat Fillers-paid in crypto, of course. washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/wa...

I JUST sounded the alarm in the Oversight committee on the fact that this administration has threatened to arrest elected officials and they have. A judge, a mayor, a Representative, and now a US Senator in his OWN STATE during an open press conference. Governors will be next.

We're now under six months from my musings on Roman temple robbery meeting the bookshelves. (And, yes, it's odd to see placeholders up on Amazon and Goodreads. They've been there for months, but still. It's my first book, so it's all very strange)
