The US is using #AI targeting in its attacks on Iran. In unconnected news: In the last few days I've uploaded a batch of photos of streets/buildings in 1960-61 Manchester in search of their sources, and AI's unsolicited assistance has proven to be 100% wrong about location/date. Example:

Fucking WhatsApp gif search, fucking kids today... grumble... chunter...

UK surgeon cleared of antisemitism criticises GMC’s plan to challenge ruling

Some very nice looking mega structures and interior spaces in this trailer and good luck to them getting the funding to make the full thing.

Can Jon Favreau change his name to something else please. If you're unsure which Jon Favreau I mean it's the "Oh, the other one, phew!" Jon Favreau and not Jon Favreau.

Vaguely wondering what @dankaszeta.bsky.social's replies would look like if he wasn't wearing a baseball cap in his profile pic. Probably not much better, let's be honest, but it would be interesting as an experiment.

Who wants a Swarovski Shrek (rhetorical) when you could want a porcelain Tachikoma? I apologise in advance for your new mighty need.

Destroyer HMS Ledbury was part of the disastrous PQ17 arctic convoy During Pedestal, she was ordered back to Gibraltar. Her captain ignored it. He'd sworn they'd never leave a convoy again, if there was a chance to save it She found Penn and Bramham trying to save SS Ohio and was the difference /1

Believe it or not, the owner of these MONSTROUS FANGS is a grass-eater, but they have a friendship with a meat-eating wolf. Meet the gelada, (Theropithecus gelada), native to the Ethiopian highlands. They're called 'bleeding-heart monkey' for the 'cleavage' that turns red in females in estrus.

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default “I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

Vaguely wondering what a Lib Dem/Green pact would look like in the next general. Probably a lot of mieage in them not splitting their similar vote if Labour don't change course. Was a bit of a thing here last election where Greens could have returned Conservatives if they'd done a little better.

Lots of people saying Gorton and Denton represents this and that in ideological, policy terms. But, really, I don't think I can stress enough how much of a draw "a normal person who lives round here and has a normal job" is compared to "careerist toady bussed in from the Westminster circle-jerk".

I made this in a couple of hours and posted it a few days after another piece which I spent a full month on. While the latter got a pretty mute response and sold few prints, this little critter ended up being one of my most viral pieces. It's was a good lesson in learning to have no expectations

We've finally invented the homework machine from the classic Shel Silverstein poem "the homework machine sucks and we shouldn't do it"

100% this. And also calling yourself or others a "Creative". If you have to further explain what you actually do, just call yourself that instead.
