This is ultimately what people like @blackamazon.bsky.social mean when they describe genAI, the right's current darling, as a "lack of consent machine." There is a not insignificant portion of the population that is angry other people have the ability to refuse them. The core value is domination.

at every step, this current wave of technology has been built on a total lack of consent. their literal legal argument is, "this industry couldn't exist if we had to get permission from the people who made it possible"

it was always going to be rotten.

Eric has blood cancer, a kind that can suddenly turn fatal very fast. He has no help. He has severe chronic pain from acute arthritis. And he has surgery coming up this month.

Can we AT LEAST get him to $1K tonight?

Now, tonight's local urgent needs.

I didn't get a chance to post our group's success stories last night, and I won't have time tonight, either. but it was impressive, I think.

With the new year, we're going back to languishing crowdfunds.

We're beginning 2026 with one that URGENTLY needs help.

Okay, tonight's inventory selections.

Today's #TBT feature is a hair cuff [shown below] set with an extraordinary specimen of red tiger's eye.

We have two very different bracelets that incorporate red tiger's eye.

It's #ThrowbackThursday at The NDN Silver Blog, with a #TBT featured work that dates back only some six weeks, to the latter half of November, and a very special commission from a dear friend: wingssilverwork.com/throwbackthu....

And finally, tonight's local urgent needs.

Two modest crowdfunds I'd like to get to goal [one needs ~$500; the other $400], and one very urgent one for a cancer patient that needs closer to $7K.

Can we give them all a little extra hope tonight?
January 1, 2026 at 5:22 AM
All right, tonight's inventory selections.

Today's feature is a masterwork of a necklace, one for the sun and the light [shown below].

We have two other silver-and-stone sun-related necklaces in inventory.
January 1, 2026 at 5:11 AM
Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's a masterwork manifest in all the shades of the sun, a necklace wrought to honor the light from dawn to storm to dusk and everything in between: wingssilverwork.com/ending-the-y....

And it's a final short thread @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social with tonight's local urgent needs, two crowdfunds with very modest goals:
Okay, tonight's local urgent needs.

The onslaught I anticipated has not materialized; one is resolved, the other two probably not addressable until the new year.

And y'all took care of the local mama's wishlist!

And it's another short thread @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social with tonight's inventory selections, two pairs of earrings to coordinate with the featured necklace and coil bracelet:

Okay, tonight's inventory selections.

Today's featured works, besides the photos, are a gemstone-bead necklace and coil bracelet [shown below] in fire shades.

We have two pairs of earrings that nominally coordinate: one silverwork, one bead.

Okay, y'all, down to the wire on the year, and I'm likely going to have a bunch of emergency needs to post for local folks later today.

First, though, I have a couple of offline things that HAVE to get done this morning.

Australian researchers have made a trial COVID vaccine that stops COVID infection and transmission, rather than just reduce the damage done by an infection:
