The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

I'm 50/50 on thinking poor Dane, or thinking that it is a lucky escape for him.

55 yrs ago this week, 4/17/71, all 4 former Beatles had solo singles in the UK charts:

Paul McCartney: "Another Day,"
Ringo Starr: "It Don’t Come Easy"
John Lennon: "Power To The People"
George Harrison: "My Sweet Lord"

All 4 songs still sound great, 55 yrs later.
Play 'em loud.

Bert really is the Pantomime Dame of Grumpy Old Men.

I always find the survival of glass from antiquity to be amazing, but sometimes you come across quite extraordinary pieces.

This Romano-Germanic glass item is moulded into the form of a little fish or whale and it’s delightful.

AI learns language from skewed sources. That could change how we humans speak – and think | Bruce Schneier Large language models aren’t trained on real-life conversations. As we encounter their language, it could affect our own

Oh:

A 2022 study found that children in households that used voice commands with tools like Siri and Alexa became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting obedience, especially from anyone whose voice resembled the default-female electronic voices.

Had anybody considered that the Dorset Echo merely has a better grasp of logistics than those currently in charge of the US military?

"We need a photo of a Spitfire."
"What's a Spitfire?"
"What's a Spi- It's the most important aircraft of WW2!"
"Ah. Right you are."
