I enjoyed this, even though the American supermarket product joke doesn't work where I'm from (Australia) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMsJ-AZB3Ao

Among other things an employee of a graphic design company in Adelaide Australia and an admin on an online transgender forum. Averse to labels but basically nonbinary transfemme living as nonconforming male so any pronoun will do. Diverse interests.

@daibhidc I'm currently re-reading Science of Discword, and having got to the part about Eratosthenes I was inspired to re-watch this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71RdjN9CUF8 (I don't know if everything in the video is correct but it sounds persuasive.)
Did the Greeks COPY round Earth theory from the Egyptians?
In a Discord conversation, I say I've just come across a bizzare blog post, then in a single message I share a link, paraphrase something bizzare as a question, & follow it up with "What the hell are you talking about?"
Now, in that context, it's obvious that "you" refers to the blogger. It's obvious that "what the hell are you talking about" is a verbalisation of my reaction to the blog post.
Anyone who interprets "you" to mean the person I'm talking to on Discord is being obtuse.

@zompist With some AI assistance, I explored the idea of a Latin motto applicable to a romantic relationship, and settled on "mutuo fingimus, momento fruimur". I asked the AI to explore the motto through art (e.g. by writing a short romantic story in which a young couple make it theirs) and it did quite well. Now I'm curious about what a human author could do with that prompt.
I was literally just jolted by my reflection.
(Context: weather recently fogged up all the windows so there was reflection where there usually wouldn't be, and I was going out the glass door.)
Colin VenturaWell it's done. So many hours gone. It's been the bane of my life for the last two weeks. So many broken branches! Hand carved from boxwood (bird and leaves) walnut (branches) and oak (scrolls).

Unfortunately the competition's official website is not well designed, but let me highlight some pictures I liked, in no particular order.
