I just keep wondering why AI art is so pushed. NFTs were found to be the next big thing, huge speculation market, then tanked. It's like this weird digital version of Tulipmania. AI answers are terrible. Just skip to the past where we get back to humans creating.

In a reference to the unicorn tapestries,a unicorn with a rainbow horn and mane breaks free from the chains that bind them to a fence in a garden.

Just so you know, it's very important to use both undiluted lemon juice and salt water at a 1 to 5 ratio to help preserve the finish on your cybertruck.

At Mar a Lago, Donald Trump employed 15/ 16-year-old girls, and held Teen Beauty pageants there and parties where the girls were brought in, but the only party guest was... Jeffrey Epstein, who was also a club member.

Freedom To Buy Join the 48-hour giveaway and stand for the freedom to buy games.

This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free.

I was out walking when I came across a lima bean pie and a bowl of bacon ice cream.

Make sure it's "Paris is Burning", and not "Is Paris Burning." One is about wonderful drag folk. The other is blowing up Nazis. Which i quite enjoy as well.

Illuminated bat from the Ashmole bestiary showing a bat on a gold background inside a red and green frame. The bat is brown with black wings and cartoonish, with incongrously detailed human-looking facial features.

Three outlines of three bats as marginalia in a yellowed page from a Bodleian manuscript. The bat marginalia are hastily drawn (likely added by a different hand than the scribe who wrote and illustrated the rest of the text). The bats have simplistic facial expresisons; one has two eyes and a straight line for a mouth, the second has a soft smile, and the third has something between the two.

A page from a bestiary showing Latin text and a black bat illustration in an embossed gold square. The bats wings look feathered and the shape is bird like, suggesting whoever drew it may not have seen a bat up close before.

An immediately strange looking illustration from a medieval Paduan text. A bat flies above an illustration of a man, and both are roughly the same size. The bat has cat like legs and a long tail, and is shaped like a winged rat.

RIP Ozzy Osbourne. We scoured the archives to find our best medieval bats in the rockerโ€™s honour.

This is literally what people do when they're not left scrambling for survival every hour of every day. They build communities, create things, contribute. Wikipedia isn't an anomaly, it is a distillation of human nature itself
