was briefly baffled by this CAPTCHA until i realized it was asking me to identify the animal that was bigger in real life than the other animals in the picture, not the animal that, in real life, is bigger than roughly 1cm

A CAPTCHA with the instructions "Please click on the thing that is bigger in real life". The image is a multicolored backgrounds with square patterns, with small photos of crabs, birds, and a panda superimposed.

we are rapidly approaching the point at which CAPTCHAs clever enough to keep the bots out are too confusing for the humans

really upsetting to see former Wikimedia Foundation director and CEO Katherine Maher getting targeted by the rightwing outrage machine in her new role as NPR CEO. she's wonderful, and NPR is lucky to have her. i hope they stand behind her.
