I just can't help thinking that this Lego model of the Acropolis at the Acropolis Museum might not be fully historically accurate π€

(1928) The Well of Loneliness' trial begins. It came under fire for defending "unnatural practices between women". It wasn't published in England again until 1949.
(1965) Master of camp baroque TV, Ryan Murphy is born. Pose is the jewel in his televisual crown.

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? Youβre prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project!
