So we had a little Masked Lapwing drama across the road from us, the babies were stuck in the gutter and the parents couldn't work out how to get them up. Ramps were improvised so all ended well #Photography #BirdPhotography #WheelchairPhotography #AustralianBirds #Plover #MaskedLapwing

A roadside gutter. Two adult Masked Lapwings, stand guard over their chicks who are wandering along the gutter.

A roadside gutter. A bird with long thin legs and prominent yellow flaps on its face stands next to a chick. The chick is white, brown and black and very fluffy

A roadside gutter. A small fluffy chick is in the gutter looking ahead. It is very small compared to the gutter

I keep seeing articles about men worrying they won't pass on their genes, and I don't understand why the media won't tell the plain truth: as a man hoping to sire children, the most important thing to do is artfully assemble a bower and surround it with a collection of startlingly blue objects.

A greeny/brown patch of grass. We can see the silhouettes of two adult ducks and five ducklings as they walk across the grass. The sun can be seem highlighting the ducklings feathers, giving them a fuzzy halo.

Sigh, I'm pretty sure that if I boycotted all of the local take aways for using AI to make their posters, I'd be stuck with Maccas and KFC (who seem to be fine with selling junk, but using real media to do so).

"people are anthropomorphizing LLMs because they are so astonishingly good at processing human thought and language" people will anthropomorphize a chair if you put the stitches in the right place.

Just a gentle reminder. LLMs do not have feelings, they are not sentient, they are literally tools to be used or discarded as we see fit. That is all

I work at a radio station. Before the advent of AI, I listened to most of the new music we received to know if it was any good. Now, whenever I receive a song with AI-generated image, I don't even press play, I know it's gonna be crap. I don't feel even remotely guilty for it.

Here's a question for #Photographers of Bluesky. When you share your photos, do you prefer to upload directly here, or share a link to a third party site like Instagram/Pixelfed/Flickr etc etc. #Photography

Honestly climate change scares the heck out of me and it makes me so sad to see what we're losing because of it.

@AstroKatie Maybe you should learn some actual SCIENCE then, and stop listening to the criminals pushing the #GlobalWarming SCAM!

@gary4205 | dunno, man, I already went and got a PhD in astrophysics.
Seems like more than that would be overkill at this point.

Thought I might give macro another go with this Pink Fritonnia I'm using the extension tubes with a EF Nifty Fifty. It came out a bit too dark and grainy so I'm going to give it another go, but here are some of the better shots #Photography #WheelchairPhotography #Plants #HousePlants #Macro

Tourist and locals in Budapest spoke to Reuters as Hungary switched off decorative and non-essential lighting at all state institutions at night. Record-low water levels on the Danube forced the country to largely shut down its sole nuclear plant, stretching power supply capacity to its limits.

Chalk this one up to shots that might have been. Overexposed and out of focus, but would have been great if I had managed to get everything lined up. #Photography #WheelchairPhotography #Oops
