Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Deskilling is real.

This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.

Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

Frau Stachelschwein hat euch Plätzchen gebacken, ihr müsst jetzt lieb Danke sagen!

Die fertige Illustration eines kleinen süßen Stachelschweins in ihrer Küche. Sie trägt eine gepunktete Rüschchen Schürze und rührt einen dicken Vanilleteig in einer Schüssel, die aus einer halben Nussschale gemacht ist. Auf dem Tisch stehen fertige Marmeladenplätzchen bereit, während daneben ein Rußmännchen im Licht einer Lampionblume einen Zuckerwürfel aus einer Zuckerdose stibitzt. Auf der Küchenanrichte sieht man im Mehl die Fußspuren eines weiteren frechen Rußmännchens, das jetzt an einer Handtuchstange hängt. Viele Details sind in der Küche zu entdecken, denen wir uns in den folgenden Bildern genauer zuwenden. Das gesamte Bild ist in warmen Tönen gehalten und auf einem beigen, strukturierten Papier gemalt.

Hier ist der Herd im Fokus, auf einer herdplatte köchelt eine Bialetti Espressokanne, auf der anderen Platte hat sich die Taube Gurrsula ein riskantes Nest eingerichtet. Hinten an der Wand ist ein kleines Regal mit einer altmodischen Waage, Büchern, Pilzen und einer Pflanze zu sehen. Daneben steht auf einem weiteren Brett eine Teekanne in Kürbisform. Ofenhandschuhe und verschiedene kleine Behälter sind dort ebenfalls zu finden. Eine angeschmolzene Kerze droht auf Gurrsula zu tropfen. Im Vordergrund sieht man zwei Pusteblumen in einer grünen Glasflasche den Esstisch schmücken.

Wir richten unseren Fokus auf die rechte Wand. Ein kleines grünes Regal über der Backfläche beherbergt eine kleine Sammlung Kastanienmännchen. Darunter hängen zwei Bündel getrocknete Kräuter und eine dicke Knoblauchranke hängt von der Decke. Zwei Bilder von Schmetterlingen hängen an der Wand. Der besondere Eyecatcher ist ein Maiskolben, der mit aufgefächerten Blättern wie ein Geweih an einem Holzschild hängt. Die Küche ist zur Hälfte gefliest mit blauen Kacheln die ein zartes Rankenmuster in den Ecken haben. Darüber sieht man eine Holzleiste, gefolgt von einer warm gelben Tapete mit hauchzartem Streifenmuster

Jetzt gucken wir uns noch mal die linke Seite des Bildes an, vor allem den Tisch mit den Plätzchen und dem frechen Rußmännchen Zucker Dieb. Die Plätzchen haben eine ausgestanzte Herzform in der Mitte, durch die man leckere Himbeermarmelade sieht. Ein Gefäß mich Küchenutensilien steht daneben.

The Partial Historians 🏺 @partialhistorians.bsky.social · 8d

A woman’s linen shroud from Roman Period Egypt is our pick today for #ClassicsTober25.

The artistry is phenomenal. The woman is surrounded by uraeus-cobras and the goddesses Isis and Nephthys depicted as red kites. At the bottom we see the woman led by Horus and Anubis into the afterlife.

Description adapted from The Met: “Placed over the supine mummy the naturalistic painted bust would lie over the face, and the panels of gods would have been draped along its sides. The woman’s rosy face and large eyes are striking. A long bone or ivory pin holds coils of her hair in place on top of her head, and she holds a small wreath in one hand. Over her abdomen Isis and Nephthys mourn, and over her lower body are placed the long strands of the late protective ornament as well as a net garment. Columns on either side of her head are invocations to the god Osiris, but her name is lost. The side panels are paired, showing the goddesses Isis and Nephthys as red kites (a bird related to the hawk); the four mummy-shaped “sons of Horus” associated with the bodily integrity; jackals associated with transit and cemetery; the Thoth-ibis and the Horus-falcon; and at the bottom scenes of the dead woman led by Horus and alternatively Anubis into the afterlife.“

Spent last Thursday doing cross stitch for a good chunk of the afternoon and it was so good! 💖 Currently working on this big sushi piece and it's bringing me so much joy. 🍣 🧵🪡 #Cross-Stitch

Friendly reminder to everyone, including us EU folks: Don't track your periods on apps. Track it on paper if you need. Also don't mention your period online, don't mention dates, don't even acknowledge it, not even in private chats (unless you're *SURE* they're encrypted). Protect yourselves. 💔

What kind of birth control does the Trump administration consider abortion? Well, the contraception the statement refers to was a stockpile of IUDs, birth control pills, and hormonal implants.
