Screengrab reading"

George Clooney is an actor.

Put him in the role of a surgeon in front of a camera, and he will do and say things the average non-surgeon viewer will agree are surgeonish. After an hour of that, we are, as average non-surgeon viewers, satisfied and entertained. 

Put him in an operating theatre, and the patient will fucking die because he's not a surgeon and knows nothing about really doing surgery. 

This is a post about LLMs.

This justifies EV ownership for me. Two wind generators, plus batteries. Off grid, half the price of on grid charging stations. #forEVer #Fuuse #CheckleyWood

Effing Tesla driver. Parking in a charging bay, no intention of charging (he's the wrong way round) even though there are plenty of parking spaces. Plus, when he left, he turned right against a "no right turn" sign. Are Teslas the new BMWs? #tesla #BadDriving

This camera is too pretty to hide away in a bag, it needs to be out there with a roll of film in it taking photos. Sadly the light seals are a bit dodgy, so it'll sit here looking pretty until I can get it serviced. #olympus #FilmPhotography #Analog #SLR #OM10
