Every commercial for AI is basically “look, you’re a fucking moron, but we’ll help you fake it!” and it feels like they really do get their target audience.

A haunted house but it’s an email from the Paris Review with the subject line “Congratulations…” but then you open it and see the rest: “…to our contest winners!” And that’s how you find out your piece was rejected.

Owl of Athena! 🦉❤️

Silver tetradrachm coin minted in Athens c. 475-465 BC.

On the coin’s reverse, an owl stands to the right, its head turned to the front and tilted slightly. Its wing and three tail feathers are clearly delineated in high detail. There is a two-leafed olive sprig in the top left corner and a crescent, possibly a waning moon, above the owl's wing. The inscription, located bottom right, is an abbreviation of ATHENAION, "of the Athenians." The owl is struck in high relief and framed on all four sides by the shape of the die. Athenian "Owls” were minted in Athens for over 400 years, beginning in the 510s BC. This coin is one of ten Athenian tetradrachms found in a hoard of coins, ingots, and jewellery discovered in 1967 on the Jordanian-Syrian border in the region of Hauran (near the ancient city of Bostra). The hoard contained coins from over twenty mints, the majority from four areas: Athens (31), Cyprus (21), southwest Asia Minor (15) and the Thrace-Macedonian area (13). The distribution and style of the Athenian coins date the hoard's burial to around 445 BC.
