You can track Artemis II via this link at NASA. Earlier today, humans left Earth's orbit for the first time in over 50 years. We are going to see things that haven't been viewed in half a century with a clarity that was unthinkable before.

NASA: Artemis II

Artemis I will be the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to build a sustained human presence at the Moon for decades to come.

If this Gaston movie happens, this the only version of him I want to see.

Tried a new therapist today. 20 minutes into my spiel she looks at me point blank and asks, "So, have you always had control issues?" I've never been called out so fast and so accurately in my life. 😂

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Tried to do a photo shoot of Undeniable with the cat. She immediately went to her buttons and pressed "All Done."

A Tabby cat looks up at the camera with her ears back. A paperback copy of Undeniable sits in front of her.

Roving hovers near her button board, looking scandalized.

What do two debut authors do when their first book sells well enough to warrant a sequel? Panic! Then learn. Then write. Then panic again, because deadlines. But it's all good. We got this. I'm totally calm and not anxious AT ALL.

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.

Post from "The Rundown"

July 18 at 5:30 PM
·
DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online.
The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery.
While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material.
