FaintdreamsSo status.metafiler.com says that it should be up, but downforeveryone says it's down and when I try to reach it directly I get a cloud flare garbled error page.
Hmmm 🤔

Daniel RourkeI was lucky enough to be included in @kattullus.bsky.social's Metafilter.com #StarterPack... it's a rare thing to be able to say "one of my favourite places on the web for over 20 years" but with #MeFi, that is entirely true.

If you like maps and jigsaws - and let's be honest, who doesn't? - then try Scrambled Maps. It's a game where you unscramble a map of a city by moving tiles around to the right order. One city each day. Today's city is Damascus and I unscrambled the map in 20 moves.

This request by @real_jamescain for obscure book recommendations is definitely turning up suggestions I have never heard of. Am amplifying by also posting the question to Ask #MetaFilter :

Antonis> The Iliad is ultimately a product of the Bronze Age Collapse […] it's about lineage […] a pre-written chronicle that was converted into a cultural metaphor for the bases of the legitimacy of the polis state. […] Helen. As in Hellene, as in Hellenic. At stake in the Iliad is the metaphorical avatar for Greece itself […] [a] post-bellum heroification of […] a genocidal ethnic cleansing of Western Anatolia
