Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

Just released: NEW images of Phobos over Mars by @esa.int Mars Express 🔭🧪

This view shows Phobos above Olympus Mons!

Captured on May 14, 2025 | Image ID: HQ967
Raw data from: psa.esa.int
A high-resolution color image of Mars with the small, dark, potato shaped satellite Phobos, seen in sharp contrast as it passes over the massive volcano Olympus Mons. Phobos appears irregular and shadowed against the softly rust colored Martian surface. In the distance, two other volcanic features Ascraeus Mons (upper right) and the flatter Alba Mons (upper left) are visible. Wisps of light clouds and the blackness of space frame the planet’s curved horizon.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Genuinely, before you make a decision on whether a product/feature/whatever is a good purchase, ask two questions:

1) What problem does this solve for me?
2) How else could I solve that problem?

If you can't identify 1, stop.
If you can, but 2) has a quick easy answer... look there first.

Male Snowcap in the gardens at Tapir Valley.

#birds 🌿
A close-up image of a Snowcap hummingbird perched on a branch. The bird has deep reddish-purple feathers with a striking white cap on its head. Its small, slender black beak contrasts with its vibrant plumage. The background is a soft, blurred green, allowing the hummingbird's rich colors to stand out.

Nuthatch. An older comic.
A four-panel comic. The first panel shows an arrow pointing down at a happy-looking nuthatch bird, and a caption: This is a nuthatch. The caption says "It's called a nuthatch because... wait no" and we see the nuthatch standing on a pile of nuts, tucking them under it. The caption says "That's not... wait" and the nuthatch is roosting comfortably on the pile of nuts. The caption says NO. And we see that one of the nuts has hatched and some walnut meat is flying happily into the air on little wings.

A Lord of The Rings movie scene with Wormtongue whispering in the ear of the King of Rohan. Wormtongue has text over him: My internet-poisoned brain. The King has text over him: Me reading the word "citrussy" on a restaurant menu.

There's a lot of penis masturbators for sale on Aliexpress and every single one of them looks like it fully torques your dick off and launches it out the other end at relativistic velocity.
A dick sucking robot that looks like it tears your dick off. More of that More dick ripping robots This one looks like it's reentering earth's atmosphere
