For those of you not into #gaming but who love #archaeology 🏺 or #classics, the first Hades' contemporary spin on Greek mythology was SO good -- it was written in a style reminiscent of @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com.

Intrigued? Come check out the sequel with me at 1 PM ET: www.twitch.tv/s3nnacherib

It's the best day of the week... #StrategyTuesday!

And this week that means more ninja-fueled fun, as I continue my bid to become the next Shogun of Japan with those notorious masters of ninjutsu, the Hattori Clan.

There are so many great journalists at the Times. And so much great journalism is produced there. But on national politics, trans issues, Israel-Palestine ...there is such flawed coverage. And Sulzberger's public comments suggest this is how he wants it. presswatchers.org/2024/03/why-...

I can’t believe how few conversations about the uses of LLMs seem to incorporate this fact. It is not a knowledge or understanding machine! It is a thing-saying machine!
Do not use LLMs for information. Of any kind. It does not *know* anything.

Press is doing a great job of basically doxxing potential jurors
Belatedly: Judge Merchan dismissed Juror #2 this morning (just before the press admonishment at the top of my thread) after she said that on reflection she didn't think she could "avoid outside pressures." She said friends and colleagues had been asking her if she was a juror.

A sad day. We often discount the importance of children’s books and their authors, but the imprint they leave on our lives is far greater than we often realize. Authors like de Brunhoff are as worthy of respect as those of so-called “real” literature for adults.

RETRACTED: Remember that eye-twitching, head-scratching paper published in a peer-reviewed journal, suggestively #carbondating the supposed #GunungPadang #pyramid between 25,000 & 14,000 BCE?

"Archaeological Prospection" finally retracted it. For good reason: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture.

The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.

But no.

A Roman 'fridge', unearthed in 2022 in the legionary fort of Novae, Bulgaria. It's a kind of container made of tiles that was embedded under the floor. It was used by the soldiers to store food. In the container fragments of pottery and animal bones were found. 🏺

Yep, that's right: I'm about to out myself for being an Old today with a look back at the video game that probably did more than any other to make me into a nerd in the first place: Mega Man 2!
Kicking off the countdown now!

Get ready for a trip down memory lane with some Mega Man 2 (and possibly other 8-bit/16-bit goodness, as well)!
