I'm intrigued by the photo here, highly coloured decoration in the Cistercian monastery of Wienhausen - & the note that in Germany "many medieval artworks have endured not despite, but thanks to the Lutheran Reformation." Upcoming talk:

@kellogh@hachyderm.io I just rediscovered RSS & apart from feeds which are by design or for me read-only, I'm finding it invaluable to (a) keep track of my must-read people (& click through if I wish to read or join a Fediverse conversation), (b) to index my own posts on Mastodon so that I can relocate them without endless scrolling! (My instance does not yet have search options - & the RSS reader is fast.) @twilliability@genart.social #RSS #Elasticsearch #OpenWeb

City of Rome | Taming the Tiber: Roman Water Management in the Tiber Valley and its Impact on Riparian Communities - bsr.ac.uk

Flooding has formed one of Rome’s most persistent environmental challenges and during the Roman era the city was subject to frequent and devastating inundations.

@hollowleviathan@mastodon.xyz Thanks for posting that, a remarkable summary by @mmasnick@mastodon.social on this bizarrely incompetent episode from the normally-sensible #FT.
