Has anyone else noticed the sudden rise of vibecoded websites which "make the indie web searchable" with "curated lists" of art sites? It feels like, not content with ruining their own spaces, they're rushing to lay ownership of things we've made as if they have participated by curating lists.
Don't you hate it when you drive backwards down the motorway and crash into a trout farm and the fish sing "🎶Homer loves Mindy🎶" then Lenny and Carl from work appear as cherubim and warn you you're hallucinating and it's not a good sign like in The Simpsons S05E09 'The Last Temptation of Homer'?
'The Mowing-Devil', printed in 1678. It recounts, as fact, an alleged incident in #Hertfordshire. A farmer saw a fiery light over his oat field one night, and then found it had been mysteriously mowed. The illustration encouraged some to believe it depicts the first Crop Circle. #WyrdWednesday
Playing TMNT Shredders Revenge for the first time. Dosent matter if youve never seen or dont care about the show. Or have never played Turtles in Time. The games awesome!
It's 2026. The Dewey Decimal system has died. Books are no longer sorted by topic, and disarray reigns. A humanoid pile of books crushes a human skull beneath its foot.

Discovering that the creator of Walking With Dinosaurs is a pro-AI chode isn't something I was expecting to have happen, but I appreciate the organizers for their handling of the incident during and after it happened.

Deep in the woods, away from the path well-traveled, was a little hut that smelled like herbal tea and fresh bread. Anyone that stumbled upon the hut was greeted by an old cat on its front porch, and was eyed critically should they decide to step closer. #pixelart #dinchenix #1bit
