I found another remarkable ant vase. This one has a charming surprise inside.
It's a harvester ant!
Is it silly to have an ant making bread? I assure you it is not. Harvester ants crush the seeds they find and make them into a paste known as "ant bread" I suppose they don't bake it though...
Vase by Patricia Jones Jemez of Pueblo NM. She made many ant themed vases.

@futurebird immediately thought that was a Pueblo piece! It’s gorgeous!

@futurebird i bet you could fit a lot of ants in even a pretty small pot
Ants haven't figured out pottery that we know of yet. But they do sculpt clay:
Indian Harvester ants, Pheidole sykesii create levies around their nest entrance so that when it rains the flood waters do not enter, but rather flow around it while they stay dry underground.
They build in response to the water so you can tell which direction the water comes form during the rains based on the height of the walls.

I've been in pottery classes and watched (human) people struggle to hand build a cup this nice and smooth and symmetrical. 👀
And they weren't even working on a cup the size of a small house.

I think these nests show how they are related to other wasps. We just get to see the things that winged wasps make more often.

@futurebird @goaty The internet has messed me up enough that the first thing that entered my broken brain was ‘it’s missing the ring’.

Ant Ceramic Art on Etsy:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/4393721145/ceramic-sgraffito-bowl-with-ants?I just wanted someone else to look at the nice ant art. Maybe it will inspire YOU to make ant art.
Is a house really a home without some ants?
@futurebird Perhaps you should make Douglas Hofstadter aware of these bowls. I stumbled across a short video interview of him on YouTube, recently, and he said he is now more interested in art than science.

I once read the most interesting story online about a small town with a dark secret. Everyone in it looked like a human but was really some kind of bee or wasp.
Then a family of yellow jacket people moved in and everyone was suspicious of them.
But the "mud-dauber woman" had a pottery studio in the tiny downtown which I just thought was a charming little detail.

Oh this has suddenly reminded me of a movie, I think from the 90s, in which some intelligent bugs from the rainforest who are really good mimics, disguise themselves as human, to go live in a human town. I think the idea is that they want to do research on the creatures who are destroying their habitat. It was wuite an oddball film that stuck in my memory but I can't remember anything else about it. Let me think

@futurebird @goaty how tall do these levies go?

Ah it's this one. The review is not kind, maybe that's why I can't remember much else about it...

How do they make it dense enough to not wash away at the base? Surely ants aren’t heavy enough for effective particle compaction ?
!! Do they drywall-fit the grains together? @futurebird @goaty

La nostra BBC: un progetto per una BBC più indipendente e a prova di futuro
La BBC rappresenta una componente fondamentale dell'infrastruttura informativa del Regno Unito e, in effetti, di tutto il mondo. All'inizio del processo di rinnovo dello Statuto della BBC nel 2026, questo documento propone percorsi per garantirne la sopravvivenza, la reattività e la resilienza in un contesto informativo altamente volatile.
Sameer Padania, autore principale del documento, sarà uno dei relatori del @journalismfest

Su come scrivere un libro che dia vita a un movimento
L'unico modo per evitare questo tipo di campagna diffamatoria e molestie online è non criticare l'autoritarismo. Non sono disposta a scendere a compromessi, e credo che nemmeno i giornalisti dovrebbero farlo. Intervista ad Ayala Panievsky.
Nel 2016, quando il mondo sembrava ossessionato da Trump e dalla Brexit, mi sembrava che tutto ciò mi fosse fin troppo familiare. Cresciuto nell'Israele di Benjamin Netanyahu, gran parte del copione autoritario per prendere il controllo dei media e mettere a tacere gli oppositori sembrava banale. Ciò che mi lasciava perplesso era quanto male giornalisti e redazioni gestissero questa situazione, in cui il leader eletto del tuo Paese ti etichetta come "traditore", incita i suoi sostenitori a molestarti e manipola i tuoi valori professionali contro di te. È qui che è nato questo libro: da ex giornalista, cercavo di capire perché stessimo gestendo così male questa crescente minaccia.

Sicurezza dei file. Tutto quello che avreste voluto sapere sui metadati multimediali, ma non avete mai osato chiedere . Di Harlo Holmes
La maggior parte degli strumenti menzionati in questa guida può essere utilizzata sulla maggior parte dei sistemi operativi. Anche se potresti facilmente trasformare il tuo computer in un potente strumento di elaborazione di metadati, tieni in considerazione la tua privacy e la tua sicurezza. Potresti lavorare con materiale estremamente sensibile, quindi potrebbe non essere saggio gestirlo sul tuo computer di uso quotidiano.
Trovo più facile destreggiarmi tra queste considerazioni suddividendo il mio spazio di lavoro in compartimenti; avere uno spazio dedicato per lavorare, tagliare, copiare e incollare mi dà più fiducia nella mia capacità di gestire contenuti multimediali sensibili in modo sicuro e sensato. Mi costruisco una "sandbox", un luogo in qualche modo sicuro in cui fare cose un po' pericolose.

The Nerve - Guerra narrativa e crollo della realtà
In un nuovo studio, The Nerve documenta l'importazione sistematica del copione autoritario e come il "Modello di Decostruzione" abbia trasformato la guerra narrativa in realtà cinetica. Di Maria Ressa.

La semplice scommessa di The Mill Media: i lettori pagano per la qualità
Scambiare traffico per abbonati: l'esperimento quadriennale di The Mill.
Herrmann ha lavorato per anni all'Evening Standard , oltre a scrivere per il Times , il Guardian e il Telegraph . Ha visto i media regionali commettere quello che lui considera l'errore più grave: quando i ricavi pubblicitari della carta stampata sono crollati, hanno cercato di sostituirli con la pubblicità digitale anziché con gli abbonamenti dei lettori.
"Nel Regno Unito, per molto tempo, l'attenzione si è concentrata sui ricavi pubblicitari piuttosto che su quelli derivanti dagli abbonamenti". "Il passaggio al digitale ha rappresentato fondamentalmente un passaggio dal trarre la maggior parte dei guadagni dalla pubblicità cartacea al trarre la maggior parte dei guadagni dalla pubblicità in un contesto digitale. Ed ero consapevole che questo non stava funzionando come modello".
Joshi Herrmann sarà uno degli speaker della 26a edizione del @journalismfest
