@DrGregLittle2 Great Zimbabwe has the same problem. It was the center of a city with a population of 20,000 yet modern archaeological reconstructions show a massive stone wall with five buildings around rather than hundreds.

Around 200 marching in Worcester Massachusetts right now calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The protest was organized by local mothers for Mothers Day and seems to be composed mostly of families as opposed to typical student protests which have dominated recent headlines.

Tried generating a book cover using a text to image A.I and this is the result on first try. From my experience in the publishing industry I can't imagine that being an illustrator will still be a job in 5 years.
