I have the solution to the rogue Artificial Intelligence problem. Pull the plug, by whatever means necessary, on data centres, no brain no bot/swarm. Sure, it'll cause a global meltdown, we survived without this tech before. World leaders can thank me by planting a billion trees.

Crane flies are complete idiots, the cats were going bananas last night chasing these crazy creatures. I feel they should spend their short life doing something other than flying into the light.

A close up photo of a golden Highland cow lay down in a green field this afternoon at Heaton Park. 
The early evening sun is shining onto the young cow as it probably wonders what thst weird woman is doing taking her photo

The painted lady is back, not sure that there's much left in the verbena, it's busy out there.

#10minutesfromhome #Scape #ClassicMono St Peter's Square Manchester
A mostly black and white photo looking across St Peter's Square Manchester last week.
In the foreground is a puddle that is reflecting Central Library in the distance. 
Beyond the puddle everything is softly out of focus with the curved library building and a passing tram part of the shot.
A blurred figure wearing all black can be seen walking across the square. 
I have left part of the tram yellow to make the photo arty farty

I sometimes feel that the more obnoxious the world becomes the further down the road to becoming a totally eccentric old geezer I travel. I'm not adapting to these people, there's a nice shady rock waiting for them.

More pebbles squished into the gaps between the rocks. Such pleasing shapes, colours & textures :) #Iceland #AwesomeFoursome
Grey pebbles in between a gap in rocks. The rocks are reddish-orange with  a white circle on the right hand one.A long line of pebbles between grey rocks - goes on throughout the whole photo diagonally.Another line of pebbles between some orange rocks. Possible face visible (a bit of pareidolia).More neat lines of pebbles between grey and orange rocks.

It seems that many countries have finally got the message regarding renewable energy, and see it as the way forward. You don't need to extract and burn things to create energy. Apparently the U.S. administration missed the memo, because they are working hard doing the exact opposite #climatechange

People in the UK, do you think we really need to go stock up on canned food, bottled water, etc. The supermarkets are selling a lot of these products by the look of it. I can't make up my mind if it's distraction tactics by the government or a real threat.

Four years ago, Korbessa arrived at our Kaluku Neonate Nursery. She was days old, rescued after falling into a well in Meru National Park. She was the smallest orphan, but soon took charge of the group. Now, she runs a tighter ship than ever: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/korb...

I think most people are realising that climate change is a huge problem. Why is the water infrastructure not being dramatically improved/renationalised? Where is a nationwide program to really push solar and battery tech and to make people aware of energy usage? Wake up FFS🤔

Holy crap, I just went down the rabbit hole of "how many stars are there in the visible universe". Astronomers estimate between 70 sextillion and 1 septillion stars in the observable universe. That's way, way, more than the last time I checked. I'm actually struggling to get my brain around that.

The long read: Given the size and age of the universe, it should be full of species with technology far more advanced than our own. But so far there is no trace

I'm invested in the idea of running my home off of solar and a sodium based power pack. I've been reading around and it looks like the price will stabilise next year. I really do wonder if this tech could revolutionise the way we use energy, and I'm a next level pessimist, fingers crossed 🤔

There's two, possibly three, painted lady butterflies in the garden at the moment, they love the Verbena. I caught them the wrong time of day, they have their wings up trying to cool down #invertebrates #butterflies
