Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

Aan deze brief is niets overdreven. Zat laatst zelf in groep 5 naast een jongetje dat vorig jaar middenin het schooljaar vier maanden met zijn fam naar een ander Azc moest. Nu was hij terug, maar hij viel inmiddels volledig buiten de groep. Zeer op zijn hoede, zei geen woord meer, erg verdrietig.

When I was little I saw one of these, I don't remember where, maybe at gran's house.
I was told that if I stared long enough something amazing would happen and it did.
I finally got one myself, half a century later and it's still amazing.
Happy christmas all!

👀 The most effective protection against fiber-optic FPV drones, according to the military, is still the combination of the Safari shotgun and Ptashka netgun.
Ptashka netgun: 4x4 meter net flies up to 30 m. The effective range of the shot is 20-25 m.

I'm not sure what was decided at Stonehenge during the winter solstice this year, but I approve of the new god/ruler/emperor/pagan supreme being or whatever the rank is of the one that was chosen:

I have seen a Tumblr post where someone explains how to animals, we're the fey.
You really don't want to be around humans if you can help it. They're capricious and might just kill you for the hell of it.
But if you have a problem that's way bigger than you can handle... Well. Maybe ask a human.

Humans: "humans are trash, I hope we all die"
Literally all other animals: "shit, I need some help, I should go find one of those giant terrifying apes, they'll fix it for me, cause that's what they do"

we were out hill-walking once when I was a teenager, and a little grey cat started following us in the village, then followed us all the way up the hill. we stopped for a picnic and she came to curl up and sit in our laps. when we went down to the village again she meowed and went her own way.

Lieve mensen, afgelopen weekend hebben Dolle Mina's in de Posthoornsteeg im Leeuwarden en de stationstunnel in Heerenveen omgetoverd tot gezellige woonkamers. Dit deden we om aandacht te vragen voor de onveiligheid dit dit soort plekken vrouwen vaak geven.
