as much as I'm enjoying this era of vibecoded internet, the one thing that's bothering me about these newest models is a world where you can only make good websites if you can afford the frontier models. I dunno, it feels like un-democratizing the web

Clipart Studio lets you cut up magazines sourced from the Internet Archive, images from Wikimedia Commons, & files you’ve uploaded, and create art collages from them. This is great — be sure to check out the gallery. [clipart.studio]

huh weird! The only thing I can find is we got a lot of traffic recently and it might have triggered a couple vendors bc it has a proxy to the archive, even though it's only a hand-selected batch of pdfs. Hardened it up and sent some disputes, hopefully that works 🤞

oh yay! and that would be cool, this one kind of has wikimedia public domain art, but it's not extensive at all. Something that pulls from like The Met and the other museums that have open access images could be cool. Or just automatic like Neal's haha: neal.fun/wiki-spy/

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Federal agents track down Syracuse woman, demand she remove Instagram post about ICE

She believes the warning was related to a post about the ICE agent who shot Renee Good in Minneapolis.

It has saved layouts for different types of "rooms" for context switching, and my favorite part is that I can hang a poster as a widget or launcher for any local app or website, and decorate a cute little gallery of wall art/apps/bookmarks.
