Well, a GIF search here doesn't see much difference between the two?

A college of GIF search results for 'Artificial Insemination' which happens to also include as many Artificial Intelligence as Insemination results.

Some back peddling going on already from the BBC in the latest versions acknowledging that even if he wanted to Burnham cant actually announce anything on this. Ridiculous 'journalism' and merely headline chasing.

Dr Gavin Merrifield @drgavinm.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

How is this non-story the main headline on the BBC News front page? Even at a basic level it has no new 'news' content.

Funny how he didn't jump to such extreme reactions when his mates in Russia started trying to strip Ukraine of its sovereignty. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How strange that two such stories around Trump should appear on the same day.

An extremely disappointing result locally last night. Huge Reform surge and now likely the Tories will hold the swing of power locally.l one vote by vote basis. Neither party has a history of working constructively with others. Absolute madness. Absolute madness In the comments section as well.

Very much enjoying tonight's conversation at the Theos event on Science, Faith and the Future of Humanity. Great conversation going on between Francis Collins, @nickebs.bsky.social and Madeline Davies.

N has been inspired by @gavtrdq.bsky.social and meeting @jlawrenceart.bsky.social and @nickroche.bsky.social recently... Bit of an upgrade on her usual stick figures! (with help from a YouTube guide..)

Wondered if my new phone might do me some better astro photos. It does indeed! Default settings other than zoomed in to max. Hand held. No tweaking of settings etc. Barely got more than a white disk before. Excellent stuff.

I redid it on a big computer monitor. Not as good. I should now definitely make a TV docu-show about how smartphones are good for you and improve your eyesight.

Enjoyed this. Lots to chew over and be encouraged by. And spotted this at the station on the way home.. @bvlsingler.bsky.social

But.. his comments were not right and certainly not accurate, no matter the specific words used. Madness. If you cannot connect with reality and basic fact you will end up with the current American situation.

And there's me, drifting on the fringes of the UK Anglicans, which while true to an extent is also a bit 🤷

"Desecrating a house of God", eh? About time that they are reminded that each and every individual they stop, harass, abuse, beat or shoot is someone created in the very Image and Likeness of God. 'House of God' be damned. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

They were not "terrible" for complaining. They were terrible because of how they did it and how they treated the other person involved.

Lovely clear evening yesterday w/ a full moon. Pushing my elderly smartphone to the limits and a lot of manual adjustments to camera settings, but not a bad result for a quick handheld session. Enjoyed getting this and then being outside with binoculars for general stargazing with my little girl. 🙂

Moon photo with smartphone camera auto settings. The Moon is a very bright, over exposed disk.

A sliver of encouragement is that, over on FB at least, the announcement from Girlguides is, overall, not going down well.

Unsurprising perhaps giving the last 24 hrs.

Well done Girlguiding. You've put blood in the water and they're coming after others now because of your weakness. They will never be satisfied. That is why you do not feed them. *Slow hand clap*

There was apparently a (a!) parent threatening them with legal action. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I'm having serious doubts about keeping my daughter going to Rainbows if the organisation is now not just exclusionary but won't fight for what it thinks is right.

It's not your imagination, the flight travel in the USA really has become more uncivilised... since Trump took over things and started setting the example.

Picked this up to borrow from the local library. Delighted to find that the fantastic @jlawrenceart.bsky.social was on the art! Superb stuff 👍

Extraordinary headlines. "Google boss" says our products are crap, but is worried something may cause the AI finance bubble to burst and harm everyone. Hmm... 🤔 If only people hadn't been warning about exactly this for years.

It's not impressive from the Chancellor's part, but there are really times the Tories just need to stay quiet. They were a party of lawbreakers pretending to be lawmakers themselves not that long ago. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
