I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors

“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

BOND FORGED WITH CHARON and Melinoë said the thing…!!!😭🧡💜 PLEASE LET US SEE CHARON AND HERMES ENJOYING AMBROSIA TOGETHER SGG IM BEGGING YOU #hades2spoilers #charmes

Melinoë saying to Charon:

Here, my lord. If you plan to keep the other Ambrosia bottle in reserve, perhaps you could share this one with a professional associate. No need to save it for later.

Also now that I know what’s up with Prometheus and Heracles, this dialogue reads SO differently now. Oh Heracles you snarky homosexual. *YOU* probably do tie him up sometimes!!! #hades2spoilers #lionflame

Screenshot from hades 2 with Melinoë talking to Heracles:

Have you had any run-ins with the Titan Prometheus while on Olympus recently? He seems to be the one leading the assault forces besieging your family's home.

Heracles responds, SHAMELESSLY COVERING UP FOR HIS BOYFRIEND:

Is he now? That's rich. Wasn't he supposed to be tied up on some mountain someplace else, getting picked apart?

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

Need a few seconds to stop doomscrolling? Enjoy our office yard squirrels, melanistic Eastern Gray Squirrels. This one is enjoying some acorns.

Take a few deep breaths, unclench your jaw, and enjoy some squirrel just living his best life.

He's good and so are you 🖤

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

#omerart

Sanji passing zoro whos sitting on a bench telling luffy he can’t afford food for him or even himself

Sanji comes back to the bench zoro sat on with food to give him. Zoro is just waking up from a nap looking confused

Zoro is done eating, licking his fingers. Hes asking sanji how he can repay him because he doesnt do debts
Sanji looks exhausted, half assedly mumbling about helping him clean his house because work and raising a kid is kicking his ass

Zoro shows up at sanjis door ready to clean. Sanji is confused because he was joking and also zoro only brought 3 brooms with him and thats it

Honestly after I started following Scott Christian Sava and watching him being so open about struggling with art despite having 40+ years of professional experience in it, making wonky art doesn't feel as soul crushing as it could

sighhhh unfortunately since I haven’t drawn regularly in a while I’m so rusty it makes me dislike what I’m making a lot… but I shall preserve!! It’s ok to make bad art!!

mariik 🌻 let's try this shit again!! @marstrekoziy.bsky.social · 3d

I haven't experienced this, now *finally* persistent once again, rush of sheer want to DRAW and CREATE in a such long while, I wanna chase that feeling so baldy!!!!
