Just in case you need a reminder: Image
Also because I just like to post this at any chance I get: Image
The plot thickens... ;) Image
Lol wut.
The medieval bathhouse as imagined by Stephen King?

Wot?

If you force the AI to be historically accurate, in stead of that being its standard position as it should be, you get this.
Don't let your kids use AI for homework just yet.
Image

Yeah, but no.
Looks like after the AI revolution us historians will be among the last who get to keep their jobs ;)

Found another gem on the Dutch real estate website Funda, but it also made me angry because modern people have done modern stuff to it and somehow that's not a reason to put them in jail apperantly.
Weird.
Anyway, MEDIEVAL house!
Sort of.
funda.nl/detail/koop/wo…Image
So although altered many times, it originally was built in the 14th century.
What do you reckon, are those tiles old?
The ceiling is gorgeous but the decor and that weird glass wall... ew. Image
Gorgeous fireplace, splendid ceiling, horrific kitchen.
When will they ever learn?
Old house = no do modern stuff!
NO.
Bad interior designer, bad owners, no treats. Image

I was asked about this tweet, were these genuine 1970s-1980s adverts for what appears to be date-rape drugs?
Research thread time.

Image
I found several examples online but most of them mention no source, publication date or any other details that make the examples trustworthy, some claim to be from Penthouse.
They do appear genuine though.

This 1942 article was found by @RealDanGill, sadly I can't find the whole issue online so can't read what happens in the story:

One of the many things we think are weird/gross about the middle ages is the idea of people sharing their homes with animals, especially cattle.
But is this true?
Did they really have cows & sheep walking around their living room?
Let's research.
A thread. Image
I regularly hear this being mentioned as just another bit of evidence of how dirty & backwards medieval people were and that it's no wonder they got all those diseases, were covered in filth all the time, etc.
Especially this image is often used, it's nice but is it accurate? Image
Let's first think about it logically and rationally.
Would you like to have animals walking around your home?
Do you think medieval people wouldn't mind the feces & urine splattering on their precious belongings, clothing, bedding, etc? Image

Let's look at an old painting together, see what we can learn from it.
This time a naughty one; a brothel scene from 1537 by the Brunswick Monogrammist, an anonymous Netherlandish painter.
Such an improper subject, so you better not check out this thread, look away now. Image
A bit more about the artist:


We start with the birdcage by the door, the cage symbolises proper love, the bird a woman.
So a woman 'caged' by love is protected but a bird outside the cage is free.
This bird is locked, the door shut. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunswick…
Image
I love the writing on the wall, quite high above the door, someone needed a ladder for this.
I wish I could read it, they might be names, perhaps of regulars?
Naughty boys. Image

A few days ago I complained about a Guardian article using a bad photo from a film in an article about Joan Clarke, a Bletchley Park code breaker, but... something much worse might have happened...
I don't think this photo they used is of Joan... Image
@TeaKayB pointed this out to me and I was stunned, surely not, that would be extraordinary sloppy.
So I looked into it, of course. Image
For starters the image they used is flipped, here's the full picture as it should look: Image

Game review!

I tried 'Aviators', a short game about the Polish air crews in the RAF during WW2.
A subject I care a lot about and I think deserves more attention.

Oh btw, the game is FREE on steam!

Here's the trailer:
For starters, I love the illustrations & art of this game, the cut scenes are gorgeous, like graphic novels.
