  3. What 'good' are The Met and the RSPCA doing here exactly?

    When the cat dies, away from their human, will that be called a success by both institutions and then they'll bury the victim in legal bullshit?

    A few years ago the Met shot and killed a man up the street from me using this very tactic.
    Copper got away with it of course, you can guess the skin colour of the man he shot.

  7. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🏛️🧩 A college student built "Provenance," a free online #game using the Met’s open access collection. Players match #artifact fragments to their known origins, learning how curators trace objects back to specific sites or cultures.

  9. It's "Creepy Met Officer of the Week" time again!

    "The judge said Arnold had shown little remorse and harbours "deep levels of misogyny", and concluded he had targeted women once he realised they were vulnerable and less able to resist his sexual demands."

  11. Dear Lovely Peeps, I know this link is going around, but I wanted more information & I finally played for myself.

    From the creator: 'The Met's collection skews heavily European. That bias would otherwise dominate the game: far more 17th-century Dutch paintings than sub-Saharan metalwork or pre-Columbian ceramics.

    My goal is to create an experience where players encounter cultures and objects they'd rarely find elsewhere. ... The dataset has been weighted to reflect a broader range of cultures and time periods.

    Some regions remain underrepresented even so, not because their material cultures are less rich, but because less of their heritage has been digitized, catalogued, or made openly accessible. I will continue to improve this coverage.'

    I especially appreciated the links at the end. You are given a chance to revisit all of the day's artifacts, now complete with overview, provenance, references, & #history - plus the ability to see similar pieces according to location, time period, materials, or within the same gallery.

    There are even free downloadable booklets of at least some of their collections.

    To me, this is not a quick five-minute game you play while waiting for something else to happen; this is something you set time aside for, to understand you are going to be challenged - and you are going to learn. 😊

    Your world is about to become so much bigger. 😃

    Raphael: The Sublime Poetry exhibit was fantastic and ends soon. I highly recommend it.

    No hurry, it's not like any Rich people were harmed, was it? /s

    I remember White People celebrating the fire online....I guess they'd be called "activists' by the Media now....

  25. Rare sight of somebody being arrested for being in possession of weed, which shows the illegality is nothing to do with Health reasons but a way to target sections of society that the State doesn't like.
