So I saw a photo of this hexagon tile floor . . .

The blurb said the shot was taken in Granada, Spain, by Agneta Fondén.  No other info, so I have no idea how old, etc.  There's a game (from 1988) that uses a similar pattern on one of its pieces, but this could predate it by at least a thousand years  — or not.  But the pattern intrigued me, so I made a texture map and used Blender's geometry nodes (no generative AI) to set up a hexagon grid with random rotations for the tiles:

That's all done with a single design:

You'd think this would have a name, right?  (For its historical use as an architectural / decor tile — although I've found out more about its use in games, that's not what I'm looking for.)  Like the Penroses do (and no, it's not one of those).  But I've had no luck finding it, or any other info.  Any (human only, please) help?

Spent all day listening to TMA and unpacking stuff, and now I'm just chilling with these two layabouts.

i still think about the fucking quesadilla terf

[pitbolshevik]

iirc it was like this terf who was absolutely fuming because her brother was dating a trans woman and she started claiming that she was clearly male socialized because the terf made quesadillas for dinner and the trans woman was like "wow :) this is really good, what is it?" and if she was a REAL woman she would instinctively KNOW what a quesadilla is

anyway it turns out the reason the poor woman didn't know what it was was because the terf had used hummus instead of cheese for some fucking reason so it wasn't even a quesadilla

Margolles, Teresa - En el aire (In the Air) 2003 

“In the main hall of the museum, soap bubbles are churned into the air by simple, easily purchasable machines. An installation of ethereal beauty, En el aire (In the Air, 2003) turns on us with shocking vengeance when we learn that the water in these soap bubbles comes from the morgue and has been used to clean the dead bodies prior to autopsy”. –

Octavio Paz
