Another good reason to write #imagedescriptions :

You will look more closely at the image and be less likely to be tricked by an AI generated image. This is also the case for finding the attribution for images where possible.

Funeral director by day, shibari instructor by night. Worlds collided a few years ago when a customer asked if her deceased (sub) husband could be buried in bondage. Boyo sleeps eternal in rope, gag, and chastity cage. She's got the key and wore it at the funeral.
The mass collection and storage of license plate data is “by definition indiscriminate surveillance,” EFF’s Matthew Guariglia told the Provincetown (MA) Independent. “You have these license plate readers tracking somebody throughout their day.” https://provincetownindependent.org/local-journalism-project/2026/03/18/advocates-warn-drivers-of-indiscriminate-surveillance/
