Hello #PortfolioDay , I'm a 3d artist specializing in extinct fauna!

Amazing algorithms from the smartest people in the world. What would he like to watch? Well he's watched these videos, so let's recommend something similar... or indeed exactly the same.

The vaulted undercroft at Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire. The abbey was originally established by Benedictine monks from St Mary's Abbey in York in 1132 and became one of the largest Cistercian houses in England. 📸 My own. #MedievalMonday #FountainsAbbey #Yorkshire

Oh it's a toss up between dropping a pencil that I had just sharpened at both ends and it sticking in the carpet mid step and I stood on it and the lead snapped off in my toe. Or, hanging out the washing, I shook a towel, flicked a barbed grass seed into my eye which damaged the cornea.

I think I learned most of what I know from these reprobates. @praxiscast.bsky.social But I've no idea how to link to an episode because modern tech is enshittified.

Whilst I can give you a list of thousands of films I'll never watch once, never mind getting to again, can't stand 99% of music, there's not really anything I'd refuse to eat. I don't like desiccated coconut, but if you give me a slice of homemade cake I'll eat it out of politeness.

Birds are so weird. It must take quite a bit of energy to fly, but sometimes they just go round in a bit of a circle. Where do I find out about bird behaviour?

The perfect pairing, the gout and gastro wombo combo.

He's going to steal your skull and take it back to his spaceship

If eating scotch eggs in an Austin Allegro had a face.

I suppose the main difference between a corner shop and a bodega is that a bodega doesn't have any laws about sanitation and animals? I love cats. Your cats anus doesn't belong on my drinks can.

Ah the old bit from Yes Minister again. One day it'll definitely happen. Definitely. Emulsified high fat offal tube.

I just had a delightful time reading people blowing smoke up Pickford's arse. There's not a lot of serious analysis, but it's still a good time. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

This is outrageous slander. Look at my little trustworthy face

Right then Blueskyers, as I enjoyed it so much last year at Goodison I’ve decided to spend a night at HD next month raising money for EitC as part of Sleepout campaign. If you can spare a few bob to support this worthy cause it would be appreciated. Thanks www.justgiving.com/page/stuart-...

I am usually really opposed to acting in football. Usually it's cheating. But James Tarkowski as Ed Gein is a really nice surprise. He does it surprisingly well! (there were scenes where he looked far more alike, but Netflix's bizarre decision to not allow sscreenshots hampered me)

I'm assuming Completely Wrong Zoe Williams is just her full name?

Before Old Olly C went and did genocide in Ireland to avoid paying the soldiers and allowing them self determination, England was trying to use Eels as justification to take over there.

📍Barna Woods, Galway. Trees damaged during Storm Éowyn transformed into these beautiful pieces.

‘left’ commentators when you suggest phasing out private landlords

If the media covered Palantir/BlackRock's public sector takeover and the rollout of deregulated investment zones with the same intensity as Nigel Farage and immigration, we'd see actual outrage at the seismic corporate power grab secretly remaking Britain. The UK is being privatised.

No, just state their name for the judge.

This complete shambles is a useful reminder of why companies who say "Don't worry about the carbon, we're planting trees for that" should be treated with scepticism.

After several failed attempts, we finally found a Turtle Frog (Myobatrachus gouldii). Endemic to SW Australia, they only emerge a few nights a year to find mates. #herps #canon #wildlife #wildlifephotography #frogs

Yes

Never trust anyone that says they will destroy the data, or not shove it into the Ai shredder or anything like that. By design, incompetence or design masquerading as incompetence. Always assume anything you send over the internet isn't that private.

The first data breach (that we know of) because of the age verification nonsense in the Online Safety Bill most certainly won't be the last.

"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that

And the thing is, they were at times. They had no economic power, no voting power, far fewer rights. So sometimes they resorted to terrorism because isometric forces aren't a fair fight. So you do what you can.

Wind is making rain fall on my sofa, which is inconvenient, as I'm also on my sofa.

I really need some wireless earphones that aren't utter arse. I am surviving on a £15 from B&M pair that are awful in every way. Except the LED display, which is cute. Recommendations for not wildly expensive ones?

There were Boris Johnson bots having public breakdowns and payments flying all over the place. If there had been sufficient outrage by the media about how bent that was, labour wouldn't even have to hire friends.

Important PSA! Charcoal is a natural absorbent. Unfortunately it's quite liberal when it comes to WHAT it absorbs, meaning: it absorbs ANYTHING that goes into your stomach and gut. That includes all the active substances from ANY kind of medication you take (incl. contraceptives, vitamins et al).

Last election for the first time ever, I didn't vote Labour, I spoiled my ballot. And voted green in the mayoral stuff because Chris Leslie might have been involved in Labour there. I can't see any possible reason I'd not vote Green at the next election.

"We absolutely need to stop the boats,” Polanski said, “but let’s stop the boats by offering safe and legal routes to asylum and not having people clinging on to dinghies for dear life.* www.newstatesman.com/politics/gre...

On the plus side, Luke the Nuke looks like he's about to burst in the not very distant future.

How is it that every few months, it seems, the US government is in shut down and government workers aren't getting paid? How have they failed such a basic way to run a country?

Hi! Did you know that you aren’t pronouncing axolotl correctly? Suppression of indigenous languages by the Spanish is one of the Four Wounds of Colonization. This is a small subversion of colonial power you can use! Axolotl is a Nahuatl word, and it sounds like this:

Occasional reminder that the best version of Sabotage is this version of Sabotage - also under three minutes! #chooseday youtu.be/eAE1j3Rea6c?...

Good things happen in autumn

I was just checking I correctly remembered the property of a chemical for purposes of being a smart arse and... I'm confused.

Labour party hits out at far right by punching itself in the head

If you assembled a football team of players with the same name, would a team of Gabriel's be unbeatable? I've not properly thought this through and made an 11 but half the arsenal team plus Batistuta to start with
