Here's today's awesome samples of the #NewCaptcha ™.
A captcha. the task is "find the natural outdoor setting" a weird background but 7 images are in the field. a treadmill inb a gym, two images of treadmills in the streets, two different boardroom tables, a few trees and a game console. a captcha. the task is: Tap on the object made with machine assitance, but all the images are AI-generated. there are 4 images of daisies in a field, 2 sealions, 2 cactuses, a payment machine on a shop counter. I have no effing clue what the right answer would be. it could be all of them or the payment machine or i don;t effing know!!! Captcha puzzle; the task is: Select animals that could live in the habitat shown in the image the image is a snow covered woods of pine trees. the imagesa to choose from are 4 different dolphins, 2 different jellyfish, an owl, a kangaroo, a squirrel. it's not clear if one is to select one image or all the ones that conform to the task. a captcha. the task is : Click on the object made from the same material as the item shown. The image is a block of wood. The options are: a bug or a snail a boat a glass of water on a sofa a glass of water in the desert a brown drink in a glass with ice on a sofa a spray bottle a glass of ice water on a wooden table in a sitting room a spray bottle a glass of ice water on a bit of grass. it's debateable that one can select one or two items.

Everyone Hates ‘Friend,’ the A.I. Necklace. But the A.I. Isn’t the Problem. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/m...
But the biggest issue with the always-there companion is that its very material form - worsened by particular aesthetic choices here, like the cold, slippery casing and shoestring tie chafing against your neck - makes the whole proposition overly, painfully clear. That millions of people adore ChatGPT and Claude is perhaps a testament to how successful those products have been in imitating our own human brains, simulating our desires and feeding our intellectual fantasies. Yet Friend, in concretizing A.I. companionship in a visible gizmo, reminds you constantly of the falseness of that substitution. Friend's physicality - the thudding of that bulb against your chest - feels like a cruel practical joke. Deeply, achingly lonely? Here's a plastic pacifier to suck on. This might be why Friend, by Schiffmann's admission, has sold only about 3,500 units so far, and why it has engendered such widespread revulsion even in people who only see pictures of the product. In person and online, Friend has elicited a giant collective eye roll - and a certain camaraderie, too, among the strangers banding together to shout their annoyance. Sure, the angry complaints say, we might

Sydney over here says I see your Tuesday and raise you a Wednesday.
Medium morning clouds over a very early morning view of the partially park lamp-lit Camperdown Memorial Rest Park in Newtown. The Anzac bridge in the distance as seen over Blackwattle Bay on a clear skied morning. A flame tree and a jacquaranda in blossom as seen from the edge of a park. One of the houses has a mural of a girl while another has an Aboriginal styled mural along it.

For reference, for my fellow Australians, this is the size comparison of Gaza and the West Bank to Sydney/Sydney area.
The entirety of Palestine (Gaza & the West Bank) is about an eighth of Tasmania.
thetruesize.com#?borders=1~!...
A map of Sydney, Australia with an overlay outline of Gaza on it. the longest two points are Engadine to Dee Why. The area is smaller than greater Sydney. A map of Greater Sydney with an outline of the West Bank as an overlay. It's much larger than Greater Sydney and spans from wollongong to St Albans, several hours' driving. A map of Tasmania with an outline of the West Bank and Gaza as an overlay. Its smaller than the distance from Launceston to Hobart at it's longest side.

I feel the MAGA supporters will fade back into general republicanism, which will continue it's current placement in the authoritarian, tyrannical, Christo-Facist position.
A table comparing the demographics of MAGA vs general republicanism. DEMOGRAPHIC MAGA SUPPORTERS. GENERAL REPUBLICAN SUPPORTERS (GOP) Age Group. MAGA → Significant portion over 65 years old MAGA → Lesser representation among those under 30 GOP → Broader age range, including younger voters (under 40) GOP → More balanced between age groups Gender MAGA → Predominantly male GOP → Also male-dominated, but more female support compared to MAGA Ethnic Background MAGA → Primarily White GOP → More diversity, especially in urban areas Religious Affiliation MAGA → Strongly Christian GOP → Similar Christian affiliation but includes more varied beliefs Political Views MAGA → More extremist and populist views GOP → Broader spectrum of conservative beliefs, including moderates
