It's my birthday today. Go watch a Rob Reiner film, read a kissing book, and plan some travel today.

If you are familiar with the word “geas” from D&D, it might interest you to know that it's a Gaelic word for “taboo.”
In Irish mythology, a geas (pronounced "gaysh") would both grant someone who kept it vigor/magical power, but breaking the geas would spell doom.

"An meiner Stelle könnten auch bis zu 111 Autos vor Ihnen fahren", stand in den 1990er Jahren in #Innsbruck auf den Linienbussen. Auch heute gilt: Städte brauchen mehr platzsparende #Mobilität. Mehr ÖV - weniger Stau!

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

#AshmoleanAdvent Day 15: Bronze Stag
The ancient city of Kish, to the east of the city of Babylon, was revered as the place where the gods had established kingship. In the late 1st millennium BCE, Babylonian kings refurbished the city’s ancient temples and the city flourished.

Bought a button pin at a Berlin solidarity Christmas market, with a peace dove with the Palestine and a rainbow flag on its wings. Went to another Christmas market, got home, just realised it's already gone from where I'd pinned it on my bag >:[

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

Mit 15 Milliarden Personenkilometer wurde im Vorjahr in Österreich so viel #Bahn gefahren wie noch nie. Ein Rekord, dem heuer ein neuer folgen wird. 👏 Mit verstärkten Anreizen zum Umstieg vom Auto auf die Bahn ist noch einiges mehr möglich

#AshmoleanAdvent Day 14: Winged Nike
On the reverse of this gold coin of Alexander the Great, from 330–320 BCE, stands Nike, the Greek goddess of victory. In her outstretched right hand she holds a wreath, and in her left hand she holds a ship's standard, likely symbolising a naval victory.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

epic will pay for every game that gets claimed this way so yes, you are still giving money to rowling (and by extension an international campaign against trans people) by claiming this

Among Mum’s belongings was a photo of a misty island. I’ve no idea where she took it, somewhere in Cornwall or Wales maybe. I figured it was a special place for her, so I painted it in memory of her.

Deeply disappointed to hear that the BBC has pushed out one of the most brilliant presenters in all of science communication for speaking with integrity and honor in support of human rights and dignity.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
