ΖΜΑΡΑΓΔΙΝ and ΩΚΕΑΝΟΣ

A cat named Emerald and a dog named Ocean were memorialized in a Roman mosaic over 1,800 years ago.

Nearly two millennia ago, a wealthy Roman commissioned an intricate, multicolored floor mosaic that depicted two beloved household animals: a cat named Emerald and a dog named Ocean. The mosaic was a key feature of a villa, which archaeologists recently unearthed from beneath the ancient city of Adramytteion on Turkey's Aegean coast.

The impressive villa included three mosaic-paved halls, a number of secondary rooms, and a network of pipes and drains that may have connected to a latrine. Visitors approaching from the courtyard of the villa would have been greeted by the largest, most elaborate mosaic in the residence.

Only two of the animals depicted in the mosaic are named. As someone entered the room, the first mosaic panel they would have seen to their left was a pale cat seated on a blue-green cushion. Above the cat are the Greek letters ΖΜΑΡΑΓΔΙΝ (Zmaragdin), meaning emerald. The relaxed cat sitting on a cushion suggests that Emerald may have been a pet rather than a stray.

On the right side as someone entered the room was a mosaic panel depicting a running or leaping dog. This animal is labeled with the Greek letters ΩΚΕΑΝΟΣ (Okeanos), meaning ocean.

Emerald and Ocean were likely familiar to the villa's residents, even if they weren't specifically pets.

The handle on this bumbershoot is doing that thing where the rubber turns into sticky goo. I thought “I wish I had something I could wrap it with.”

@jhamill well, it attempts to jailbreak an LLM (poorly configured LLM models can be jailbroken with this method) and then tells the computer to delete the main disk that runs the entire thing. kind of like telling a windows machine to delete the C: drive or the mac to delete whatever you've named your home drive.

New Project — Ellie Fernald Wall Hangings

4 quilted wall hangings:
1. A fantastical dragon with a sunsettish sky behind it, its fire exhalations blown back over its head in the wind and its claws digging into a pile of rocks.
2. Several highly realistic cows in a field, one eating, one's head up but not visible, and the third lowing at the fourth wall, surrounded by a heart-shaped border of elaborately quilted flowers.
3. A zebra mid-gallop, behind layers of tall grasses that are, somehow, also a sky field with stars on a base of clouds.
4. Two cats on a windowsill deep enough to curl up on, one orange, and one grey with white mittens. Outside the window is a rich, dense flower garden, and behind that a neighbor's house where a tuxedo cat is looking at the foreground. Ellie used a panel of clear plastic for the window panel, which is shown in the up position.

Ellie Fernald was among my strongest influences as a child. She was in a performance troupe (music and vaudeville-style comedy) with my dad when I was in grade school, her house was a riot of fabulous art (both hers and others), and she had an inspirational collection of gorgeously illustrated children's books. I thought of her as a potter for the most part, because her entire basement was a pottery studio, but she was also an expert quilter and painter, and she explored many forms over her lifetime.

These are some wall hangings that have ended up in my dad's house, and my sister, Erin, and I are undertaking some restoration work on them — cleaning them, repairing some places where stitching has come undone, and in a couple of cases removing and repairing internal wooden frames that have broken. It's going to be a lot of work! But I'm excited to spend some time with these beautiful pieces, enjoying her painting and quilting brilliance.

A little bio sketch of Ellie : https://publicforms.whitworth.edu/art...

The last plate sticker

An extreme closeup of a license plate, cropped to the top of-right of the plate. A screw is visible, as is a stack of stickers with the current year shown on them. The text 'ight' is visible on the plate, which is the last half of the phrase "first in flight." Ohio claims they're first in flight sometimes, but they are wrong.

End of an era in North Carolina, the legislature has ended per-year registration stickers on license plates this year. That means my humble-brag stack-of-stickers will no longer grow.

It's probably fine to end the practice, most of our plates are read by machines (or capitalist techbro megacorps bent on creating a surveillance state) anyway.

I will miss the ceremony of peeling off a new sticker and adding it to the plate just-so, like rings on a tree, as it shows off how long we've been in North Carolina.

We're also fortunate to have one of the rare-ish red-text plates. The North Carolina legislature changed the text color to red for just a year around 2009, before switching back to blue.
ardgedee pro Yesterday
Also in NC. Car is from 2012 but the plate was replaced around 2020 because the state was updating... something or other, I can't remember for sure. And then later that year the state canceled the program, for reasons I can't remember, the Republican legislature bottlenecking the funding for it could certainly be a reason. Or maybe it was Covid. And they never bothered to resume the program.

Anyway there's a bunch of older cars whose tags renewed each Jan-March who have newer plates than everybody else whose had their cars for just as long, because of this weird burp in administrative activities.

@ardgedee Sounds like your plate got scooped up by HB211 in 2020 https://abc11.com/post...

That replacement requirement was repealed this year: https://www.yahoo.com/news... - Sounds like as long as your plate is readable you can keep it now. Turns out it might cost $15 million a year to get fresh plates on everyone's cars.

Just makes me miss the days of my old man repainting his old Massachusetts green plate so he could keep it for a few more years. Steady hands :)

My state just switched from separate month and year stickers to a single combined sticker. So we still get sticker stacking, but now a lot of the license plates have an empty month section, and that upsets that little obsessive part of my brain.

Reich's early stuff doesn't always have particularly weird time signatures. "Clapping Music" is in 12/8 which looks awkward but it's evenly subdividing four beats into thirds: "ONE two three ONE two three...". Once you get past having to deal with a different emphasis within the thirds of each beat ("ONE TWO THREE one TWO THREE...") and that the guy standing next to you is doing the same thing slightly faster or slower than you, it's a doddle!
