Horrible new bullshit from the sea every time. It’s never ‘oh we found a new pink fish that is so happy’ it’s always stuff like this, the crush-depth screw-headed dongwongler, and it’s got to have big long creepy bits. Sick of the ocean tbh.

I love this guy www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The captains are texting

Watering the plot at 6am and absolutely pouring with sweat. But everything is looking lovely.

I find this all very disturbing. No MP voted this guy to be PM, no leadership contest has been held yet.

Roasted salmon and sweet potato and cauliflower early this morning, now made outrageous miso ginger dressing to drizzle over for tea, absolute dazzling foresight on my part

Uh oh

We really done fucked up eh?

Been too busy growing things to post much / nerd out about polar stuff

Changing my name to Preserved Fish en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preserv...

Genuinely didn’t realise turtles were this meaty (RIP poor turtles)

THE MOUSE TAKES THE CHEESE FOR THE WOMEN

On it

32.3ºC at Kew Gardens is the hottest May temperature on record at the station since records began in 1881, beating its previous May maximum by 2ºC (30.3ºC, 25th May 1922). It beat its maximum temperature date record for the 24th of May by OVER 2ºC (30.2ºC, 1922), exceptional.

Heatwave and chest cold is a special kind of hell

I’ve got news for her about using AI for research. In any case, this is beyond depressing.

…and shockingly doesn’t try to shoot it

Is it though? Is it really?

My love for The Runaway at Lewes station is undying

The tall ship Morgenstern is coming to Shoreham port and all the day sails are sold out 😭 This is the second time I've missed out — saw her in Aberdeen last year! www.shoreham-port.co.uk/news-events/...

Was looking for alternative translations of the Ross family motto, and accidentally mistyped it into Google Translate — now THAT is a motto.

What a lovely and evocative read

Happy birthday to the incredible and lovely @jmgatford.bsky.social (who btw you should contact if you want to make your writing like a hundred times better)

Fun fact for bores like me: When the expedition first docked at St. Helena on their outbound journey on January 1840, Napoleon (or what was left of him) was still there. By the time they visited again on their return voyage, he'd been shipped off back to France.

@susie-morello.bsky.social Hey Susie, a few weeks ago you very kindly reached out to SPRI about James Ross’ snuff box, after I posted about it on the FE Facebook group. Is it okay if I write a little blog post about its provenance, with credit to you?

Peglar Papers are Peglar’s says paper

He's so much more than that www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

It’s a great day to be a huge nerd about dead Victorian sailors

So so chuffed for @katiegors.bsky.social whose genealogical research played such an important part in this www.ctvnews.ca/kitchener/ar...

Experimenting with this ink I found

This summer I might finally read Moby Dick

I was checking to see what thrilling photos I took yesterday and:

I love this patch of earth more than I can say

Seagull on the roof alert

here come old record he come cleaning up slowly he got crumbling binding he one useful resource he got red rot on our knee one thing i can tell you is the historicity

Oh that’s gutting 💔

If you have a workplace pension, some of it (even if it’s a minuscule amount) is likely invested in these psychos

Man I love windflowers. Absolute stunners

Is this thing on?

A reply from the Trust on Facebook: the image, which they call “flawed”, will be replaced in due course.

If your organisation deals in historical fact and uses fictional AI renderings, you will only have yourself to blame when the doors close and your funding disappears. If I want fiction, I'll go somewhere that does it better than Pembroke Dock Heritage Trust.

“What really happened to Erebus?” Doomed by ‘re-imagining’ that (like nearly everything else using the term) demonstrates a singular lack of any kind of imagination, so she was…

Anyone hearing the distant whistled intro to a 90s power ballad by the German rock band Scorpions? Just me?

Pembroke Dock Heritage Trust is using genAI to promote its upcoming HMS Erebus exhibiton. I want to say something but it feels futile, a losing battle. I see so many smaller museums resort to AI slop.

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

There’s gotta be more to it than this. I see AI slop on flyers for local fundraisers and street cleanups; on my allotment’s Facebook posts; on our community garden signage. This stuff is being aggressively peddled at people, shoved under their noses where they work and make things. Like free drugs.
