Ancient DNA confirms Yersinia pestis caused the Justinian Plague—the first pandemic in history. Jerash’s Roman hippodrome became a mass grave, revealing a story that still resonates today. #Archaeology #AncientDNA #History #Pandemics
The Ghost of a Pandemic: Unearthing the Plague That Changed History

Artist’s painting of a hippo on a flake of limestone 🦛❤️

Perhaps a practice sketch, or just for the joy of painting 3,500 years ago!

From Deir el-Bahri, Thebes, Egypt, c. 1479–1425 BC. 📷 The Met www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...

#Archaeology
Photo of an Ancient Egyptian artists’s small, naturalistic painting of a standing hippopotamus on a flake of white limestone, dated c. 1479–1425. The hippo is painted in profile with head lowered and to the right. The body is outlined with black paint and painted brown. The belly, eyes, and ears are painted red. Although the ancient Egyptians were well aware of the danger and destructive power of hippos, this painted hippo has rather a friendly face! Dimensions: H. 10.8 cm (4 1/4 in); W. 12 cm (4 3/4 in); Th. 1.7 cm (11/16 in) Egyptian artists made practice sketches on flakes of limestone, sometimes for use as templates when transferring an image to the wall of a tomb or a temple. Limestone flakes were readily available because of the constant construction of temples and rock-cut tombs. A number of such sketches were recovered at Deir el-Bahri during the 1922-23 MMA excavations. This painting was acquired by the museum in the division of finds.

And on the subject of #realartatters: AI poisoning tool NIGHTSHADE is now free for artists to use: venturebeat.com/ai/nightshad...
Nightshade, the free tool that ‘poisons’ AI models, is now available for artists to use
The tool's creators are seeking to make it so that AI model developers must pay artists to train on data from them that is uncorrupted.

The history of the printed word is full of bibliographic twists and turns, major historical moments, and the significant printing of books now so obscure no one has read them since their publication.

Umm, could we please have an approve/reject button for (potential) followers? Could it allow multiple approval/rejection, too, please? Lots of weirdos coming out of the woodwork lately and it's a nuisance having to individually block them.

Too easy!
My @smh @theage cartoon.
Single frame. Left to right: Skip containing statue, paintings, books visible on left. Man in white coat at top of ladder feeding book into open mouth of a huge robotic dog with studded collar and dog-tag “AI”. Red bucket on floor below dog’s lowered rear. Second white-coated man says to onlooking woman: “It’s marvellous really. You just feed in all the intellectual property you can get your hands on without paying for it, then sell whatever comes out this end…”

I post lots of stuff for free, for your and my entertainment, and that's the way I've always liked it.

I do earn my living from selling my work, so if you feel like supporting my cartoons are popular and I draw each one individually - they're not prints. www.worldofmoose.com/collections/...

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.

Today is the 91st anniversary of the last diary entry of the first man who tried to climb Everest solo. Mind you, his plan had been to crash land a plane 14,000 feet up and then stroll the rest of the way, so perhaps he wasn’t destined to succeed

My cover for the ‘New York Times For Kids’ which is in TODAY’S @nytimes.com. I drew the centrespread and some spot illustrations as well.
Cover of the New York Times for Kids by Tom Gauld A large illustration of a family in a car, absurdly overloaded with luggage on the roof and in a trailer, arriving in the countryside from a city that we can see in the distance. We look out at them from a lush green forest filled with children playing, painting, swimming, climbing, reading, camping, exploring, making music and enjoying the wildlife. Closeup of the car. Closeup of the children. Closeup of the children.

Is there any way to check if your polling booth has a sausage sizzle out the back, so you can buy your "democracy sausage" sandwich (and perhaps a cuppa) after you vote? Yes there is! The #DemocracySausage provides a searchable map! #auspol #AusVotes25 democracysausage.org
