A tour guide today commented on how medieval painters hadn't figured out hands yet and I now want a think piece comparing and contrasting Stable Diffusion to, like, Giotto

Do any of my friends know a Canadian immigration lawyer who might be willing to advise another friend of mine? Can provide more details, but it's related to their small (US-based) business. Not looking for pro bono - they have some budget, although maybe not, like, big law firm budget.

Looks like I'm going to Greece next year. Does anyone have tips for learning to read the Greek alphabet more fluently? I don't really have any desire to pick up the actual language; I just want to be able to read place names and stuff on signs.
