Claddagh Rings.
For St Valentine’s weekend, the National Museums of Ireland are highlighting the rich history of the iconic Claddagh ring—first crafted around 1700 and symbolising friendship, love, and loyalty through its clasped hands, crowned heart, and deep Galway roots. The Claddagh remains a cherished emblem of Irish heritage.

The Philadelphia Art Museum, or should we say the Philadelphia Museum of Art, one of the largest art museums in the country, has just hit a reverse uno.

The Chatbots Appear to Be Organizing.
Moltbook is the chaotic future of the internet.

The first signs of the apocalypse might look a little like Moltbook: a new social-media platform, launched last week, that is supposed to be populated exclusively by AI bots—1.6 million of them and counting say hello, post software ideas, and exhort other AIs to “stop worshiping biological containers that will rot away.” (Humans: They mean humans.)
