I've searched for Archers Announcers and can't find it on BBC Sounds. #TheArchers

@5ml.bsky.social Hope you're doing ok, it's been really tough for you both recently. x

“many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers” is deep wisdom and you don’t need to reproduce to embrace it!

Last week I helped a lady on the train from Waterloo find her ticket (it had slipped behind her trolley and lodged in the metal bar at the back). On Saturday I helped a different lady get to Victoria, rather than struggle with the complicated tube journey her daughter gave her as Waterloo was shut.

Tony "standing in the yard with his tools out" - double entendre of the week. #TheArchers

Lina's Algerian stall in Coventry market is about to close and could do with a bit of financial assistance. If you're able to help it would mean a lot. gofund.me/bdaa7f531

@sil.kryogenix.org I take it you've heard Uncle Tim on this week's Desert Island Discs?

Halloween party tonight, here’s my costume as a ChatGPT output

PSA.

What the BBC noticed a *long* time ago is that when they have left/liberals on Question Time, neither the right nor the left watch or talk about it. When they have swivel-eyed far-right goons on, the right watches and talks about it, but so very much so does the left.

it's me, unnamed critter from bosch's triptych of the temptation of anthony!

A mate of mine agreed to do a well-paid corporate gig supposedly about art & diversity but really about branding. They gave him a script, he departed from it a bit, they made a video of the event and used an AI imitating his voice to speak the bit of their script he had skipped. Without asking him.

If anyone knows anyone in or near Cardiff who would like an old spaniel who just needs a quiet house and a lot of love and attention in her final years please let me know, I will walk and dog sit for very cheap if you need, if that helps

Reminding National Trust members not to turn into a pumpkin - please *use your vote* before the end of the month to support genuine candidates and keep the disingenuous ‘Restore’ stooges away from the Trust’s assets. Easiest way is use ‘Quick Vote’ to endorse official NT AGM recommendations.

This reminds me of Jeremy Hardy (RIP, sadly missed) and his refusal to use postcodes on letters because it put postal workers out of a job.

Under Over Over - West Hampstead So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains. The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.

@5ml.bsky.social HB!! Hope you're having a good one. I know things have been rough for you both recently. xx

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

And here was the inspiration, Michelle Dorrell, the woman who voted Tory and then got upset the Tories cut her working Tax Credits

@jesslynnrose.bsky.social Forwarding this to you knowing you'll be fascinated but furious at me! 🤪

Having a day of extreme cognitive dissonance today. On the one hand, I'm going to Parliament for a Westminster Hall debate in honour of Ada Lovelace Day, a thing that I created in 2009 and that I'm very proud of. Otoh, I'm broke. By many measures, ALD was a huge success — people picked up the...

Higgledy piggledy Timothée Chalamet Has a name meriting Endless design Much like his forerunner Benedict Cumberbatch: Hexasyllabically, Easy to rhyme

“AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society, and our descendants will be digging it out for generations.”

Everybody's stupid, that's for sure

My old 16-page comic where Frasier meets Columbo can be read on my website: joechouinard.com/columbo

These two are currently in Slovenia at the 13B gallery in Kamnik. Always keen to represent Coventry in other places and this is a fab opportunity! 🐘🐘🐘

Might be Jill's last F&P show. Mind you, we said that last year. #TheArchers

Have we heard of Herbert before? Or was he introduced as a character only to die moments later? A brief but pivotal career, RIP. #TheArchers

Peopl of Film Bluesky, please help me out. For years I've been trying to find a Russian 70s/80s film that my dad recorded off the telly but missed the first half - its a compendium movie with a segment on a train, which is followed by a boy going out to help irrigation in Siberia (i think) 1/

Saw Ben Wheatley's new film Bulk last night, made in secret, using obsolete S-VHS cameras, iPhones & VFX made from Airfix kits ordered off the internet. The end credits, hand-drawn by Wheatley, offer instructions on how to do the same at home if you want to. This is the anti-AI art we need.

Odes to Keir Starmer, 2020 vs 2025

SCALA!!! News...

This is a great example of how AI works, and how badly it fails.

@jamiebear.uk Have you seen this? I know it's in That London... whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/defau...

I always enjoy reading the TripAdvisor London Forum because I'm fascinated to see what foreign tourists expect, what they ask about and what surprises them. I thought this post from someone from Texas was a really lovely and cheering comment about riding the tube late at night

Eadweard Muybridge: Animal Locomotion: An Electro-Photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movement 1872-1885

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

The ONLY AI I will allow! For those wondering: Adrak means ginger and ilaichi means cardammom. A proper Chai indeed, well deserving of that GPT. This Indian approves.

Knowingly saw my first JanSport Backpack in the wild today. #Sparks #Mad #JanSportBackPack

What actor’s expression in a movie will stay with you for the rest of your life?

@davidtrussler.bsky.social Season at the BFI.

Young kids are taught farmyard animal noises to test their development (what does the cow say? Moo! etc), to which my friend added to his son's vocabulary "what does Frankie Howard say?" *Frankie Howard ooOOOooo noise*

Surprised that Kate, with all her green credentials, is so blasé about flying. You can get to Albania by train you know! #TheArchers

Grandparents' names often develop organically. My schoolfriend's grandfather was called Umpy because that's how she said grandpa (and he was always Umpy to everyone including us). #TheArchers
