What I am learning from the proliferation of AI images across Facebook is that a lot of people clearly didn't do enough Spot the Difference pictures as kids. It hasn't just added colour John!!!
Headline from The Guardian: Traders placed over $1 billion in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war. What is going on?
Yeah geez weird impossible to know I guess
Headline on Hollywood Reporter that reads ”Paddington 4, Escape From New York' Reboot in the Works”
I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…
I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!
Too thin, too fat, too tall, too strong, too masculine ('WE CAN ALWAYS TELL!!!"), too feminine ("WHAT A SLUT, WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS???"), too weak, too Black ("I DON'T SEE COLOUR THOUGH, I'M NOT LIKE THOSE OTHER RACISTS"), never 'enough, just a woman, exactly the way she is'.
This myth of biological certainty is just another attempt, in a long and disgraceful line of them, to give a veneer of objectivity and acceptability to what is at heart, yet again, simply another manifestation of patriarchal and misogynistic social control, and, yet again, women are suffering

Whatever skills I have as a translator came from the million+ words I translated down the translation mines. If all the unglamorous grunt work disappears there won't be anywhere to learn

It is absolutely incredible that HMRC thought (and still thinks) that it is acceptable to tell every sole trader in the country that they have to file digitally, but that HMRC isn't providing any means to do, that you probably need to get some software from somewhere, and that it sucks to be you.

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

To all the Cats who collectively assisted in the Splashdown portion of the Artemis II mission, including my Gonzo, I salute you and thank you for your service. #catsthatlovenasa #cats #nasa #artemisII
"We now cross live to The White House..."
It ended the practice 30 years ago after its own internal report said was scientifically flawed, discriminatory, and a cause of emotional trauma

Happy 8th anniversary to the tweet that changed us forever. Look at this absolute unit.
I concur. Still a couple of chances left to see the show on this tour. Go see.
The bits and bobs we have are tip top. You should definitely treat yourself.
During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.
Reid Wiseman on #Artemis II: "We have Earth out window 4 and Moon out window 3... the Moon is about 3-4 times the size of the Earth and it is almost full, and the Earth is just a small crescent out there... it's magnificent... such a majestic view out here"
Mission Control: "Amaze, amaze, amaze!"
THEN PERHAPS STOP FORCING IT ON EVERYONE
If the Ferrero Group does not use this as an ad for Nutella, they are out of their collective Italian minds.
They should also put up funds for STEM scholarships or something... Nutella Space Camp anyone?
If you're proud of where you live then just be proud. Saying things like 'It's a shithole but it's our shithole' undermines your pride in it.
I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …
The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.
It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
Must be real nice for the crew of Artemis II to know that if all goes well, they’ll have 10 solid days off from occupying the same planet as Trump.
Also, it's not double-checking. It's never double-checking. It's always just checking.
Oh so now copyright matters.
