Woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t fall back asleep so that’s book 2 “The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles” finished as well. Very enjoyable!
We’re heading home in the morning though so I’m gonna attempt to catch some hours instead of starting another book

Book for this cabin trip has been “The Mimicking of Known Successes” which I very much enjoyed but now it’s finished and I’ll need to find another book to read.

![My photo collage shows three Roman black-slipped pottery vessels with white painted Latin inscriptions and white vine-like flowing decoration set against a rich pinky-purple display case background.
These so-called ‘motto beakers’, decorated with wine-themed Latin inscriptions painted in white slip, were produced in the Trier region during the mid 3rd century. They proved very popular and were exported to Britain and the Danube
Top image: cylindrical cup with straight sides with narrower base. The dark, almost black surface is decorated with large white letters V M N. The inscription around the cup reads VINIVM NOBIIS DA/ Give us wine! There is a band of rope-like white ornamentation near the rim. Beneath the lettering is a vinemotif with cluster of threeroundish ‘grape’ shapes. There are visible cracks where the cup has been restored. From Trier or surroundings, 280-315 AD.
Bottom left: elegant dark jug with a narrow base, rounded body, and long neck that flares outward to a broad lip. A single curved handle connects the neck to the upper body. The decoration includes the large white letters R E P and swirling white scroll ornamentation. The full inscription encircling the jug reads REPLE ME - Fill me up! From Trier, St. Matthias, 280-315 AD.
Bottom right: A cylindrical beaker with a narrower base. White lettering near the top reads E N E T I B. The full inscription around the beaker reads B[ENIE T[BI S]|[T] - Well be to you! Beneath the text is a continuous vine-scroll design with stylised leaves or grapes. From Trier, Louis-Lintz-Straße, 260-270 AD.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j56ydp325adovobhwpkzc6sp/bafkreidvgcm4meck4zsw7uiucznujg7fw5cdeu2lguukrglcw6t2gxmujq@jpeg)

Thread. “AI is patching up the holes in conspiracy theories and so making them seem more reasonable, making them easier to spread and more resilient to collapse” was not on my bingo card.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

Hey! Northern hemisphere folks:
this is my annual reminder to myself and perhaps also to you that if you have the schedule autonomy to permit it, get out for a walk or whatever during daylight hours! It's important!
You can work more when it's dark but you need whatever sunlight is available!
