Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

Prince of water towers. Jumbo in Colchester as seen through the oldest intact archway in the country which was part of Claudius' triumphal arch, when he made Colchester capital of his new province. Victorians built a pub on top of it 😐

I’m an idiot who has never held a gun except at the fair (I was pretty good tbf) but even I know that. And if I didn’t, the look of concern on his face would have been a massive clue.

I have a stall at a Hospital Fête. At least I’ll be close to the minor injuries unit.

Drove over 300 miles today for a stupid meeting. #StupidMeeting

All in turquoise.

She looked like the queen.

Anyway, as the path narrowed between the stalls, the guy in front of me saw the lady trying to come through, and he stepped aside, followed by a sweep of his hand. I expected him to say, "After you."

What he actually said was, "After you, Deliveroo..."

I've loved Tom Lehrer ever since I heard this at the end of a VHS we watched in GCSE Chemistry. The entire class immediately asked for it to be played again. Rest in peace, what a guy

This is the best thing i've seen today!!

Bono linked to special needs schools facing government crackdown U2 frontman in line to make money from private equity investment in education

Using Bono's name is a bit of clickbait, but an interesting read re private SEND schools nonetheless.

"Schools should be focused on ensuring children are supported to achieve and thrive, there is absolutely no place for excessive profit-making."

Quite.

If this is you and there's a book you'd like, get in touch.

UK only.

Amsterdam to install kitty steps in canals to save cats from drowning Amsterdam will install special steps in its canals to prevent cats and other small critters from drowning because they can’t get out on their own. The Amsterdam city council adopted a proposal to this...

"Officially the steps are called 'wildlife exit sites,' because other small animals can also use them to get out of the canals."

Gardens of west Cork! 🌱

A couple of grumpy cattle I met on the Devon coast path.

"If you reach the final two grumpy cows before the sea, you have gone too far," they said. And that was how I realised I had finally gone too far.

Anyone got a recommendation for nighttime wildlife cams please.

Apparently we have an #otter nearby (I know - squeee).

Envy!

Humerus.

His behaviour makes it sound like your house is like his, so may be local. He’s not trying to get you to follow him is he, like Lassie? He does look very lovely. You are doing the lord’s work, and I commend you. Also, sounds like you have *the best* cat sitter a man could wish for.
