- unwind 4y agoMr Higgins is mentioned in the article as being the person who (backed by the EFF, I guess) got them to make the images available so the connection makes sense. I guess that's one use of the paintings that was not possible before, so yay! That being said, I wish the bot could learn how to capitalize (at least given names like those of the painters involved) properly. :)

- thatguy0900 4y agoI was very curious and scrolled through quite a bit without seeing anything but paintings and author titles, what vulgarity are you referencing?
