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

Managed to get a fast lane ticket for Tokyo Game Show! Now I have to figure out how to get there early enough for it to be worth it

I do sometimes wonder if I have a problem…

I know, right? This is one reason why I love living in Japan

Today’s catch

Oh, man that sucks! You’ve always been a huge inspiration ever since the N64 mag days. I hope you manage to find something soon!

I've been living in Japan for 10 years and I still haven't got used to it.

Oh, Japan - when will you learn? A handful of shredded cabbage and half a lettuce leaf does not a salad make.

[Title, superimposed over an image of the Glastonbury Pyramid stage, as per an ident from the BBC Glastonbury coverage]: NOT AT GLASTONBURY 2015. [Scene change - we are now in a darkened living room. A man called GARY is watching Glastonbury on the TV, while holding a baby, who is occasionally saying "waaah" and slapping his dad in the face. JO WHILEY is also in the living room, as if she is presenting Glastonbury BBC coverage] JO WHILEY: Hi I'm Jo Whiley and were coming live from Not At Glastonbury, where Gary Reed is watching Glastonbury on the telly Gary are you enjoying Not At Glastonbury? GARY: Oh it's amazing... I love everything about it! The tea, the sofa, the cat, the tea... the constant TV coverage of people having more fun than me... [Baby slaps Gary]: SLAP GARY: There's just this incredible atmosphere of my youth being irrevocably lost! JO WHILEY: Amazing JO WHILEY: So is this your first Not At Glastonbury? GARY: No I've been coming to Not At Glastonbury ever since I had this kid. [SLAP] BABY: WAAH JO WHILEY: And what's your favourite bit of the festival so far? GARY: I really loved it when I realised I hadn't heard of any of the new bands and that I'd become really quite culturally alienated and just that little bit closer to death! JO WHILEY: That was a great moment [SLAP] JO WHILEY: And what are you most looking forward to? GARY: The rains to come and fill my cold, bitter heart with schadenfreude! JO WHILEY: Amazing! [SLAP SLAP SLAP]

One from 2015, when we’d just started a family and Glastonbury was suddenly impossible. #glastonbury #comic

I wouldn’t want to be walking next to it at the time

A pizza delivery driver coming to a home near you very soon!

If you look closely, you will see that I have no idea how machines work.

A very good book

A photo of a capsule toy. The toy consists of a very cute, capsule-shaped panda bear with two mini guns for arms. I have no explanation for this fact.

Inside a phone smuggled out of North Korea

The North Korean smartphone:

9 Urgent Questions About Trump Mobile and the Gold T1 Smartphone We don’t know much about the new Trump Mobile phone or the company’s data plan, but we sure do have a lot of questions.

It’s like he saw that North Korean smart phone and thought, “why can’t we do that?”

This guy, on the other hand - I can really see him going places

Saw this robot thing too? Not sure it will catch on, tbh.
