This is very cool. Does the AIA and/or SCS have this same type of thing? What about other professional bodies? I like that the AHA has a whole section of their website for UGs and the annual meeting.

Les Miserable Gif : We just built a barricade

I've opened my email--NO steaming pile of horse sh!t lurks in my inbox. And, I had held the whole day empty for other potentially mandatory meetings--those are unnecessary. Combined this feels like a small Thursday miracle. I declare today a writing day. Putting up my out of office NOW.

Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

In Feb 2025, Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham ordered the state health department to stop promoting vaccines.

Now, the news comes out that the health department failed to inform the public or even healthcare professionals about the largest whooping cough outbreak in more than a decade.

Only one single person — the hero filming — took any sort of action. Everybody else just keeps walking, pretending not to see a screaming woman being dragged away. This is so incredibly Nazi Germany.

We are so close! Help @chancebonar.bsky.social make Ancient Gazan lit more accessible to community!

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

Drawings of Roman Mosaics in the Topham Collection, Eton College Library - BAR Publishing This fully illustrated study brings together over 70 prints and drawings of mosaics from the collection of nearly 3,000 items formed by Richard Topham (1671-1730). Some are the only known records of m...

Shameless plug: all this is discussed in my book, www.barpublishing.com/book/drawing.... Most of Topham's drawings are of mosaics in Rome; the small RB section is rare and delightful.

Photo of an oval belt buckle depicting a hoard of Roman coins except these coins don’t actually exist, the inscriptions are nonsense like ‘TETEATAN” who wasn’t an emperor, and VCVSTVS which means nothing. The coins depict classical “Roman” things in a style that’s true to how ancient Roman coins actually look, but they are again nonsensical, like a crocodile and a winged sphinx.

Found a totally bonkers belt buckle in a department store in Kentucky

It’s depicting a Roman coin hoard but the more you look, the more nonsensical it gets. I had to have it, it is now mine forever
