The title says:

I like the image this conjures. A cup of char before the violence starts... From: www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Snippet from a Guardian story. It reads:

In front of a crowd of 55,744, forward Bia Zaneratto was sent off in added time for a second yellow card before tea-mate Tarciane was ordered off for elbowing USA forward Sophia Wilson.

tea-mate, of course, being a Grauniad classic.

Scary juxtaposition... @yorecomputer.bsky.social @theguardian.com
Two Bluesky posts. First is from the Guardian with Boris Johnson being himself - sadly. Second if from Yore Computer on how to make a mask that looks like Boris Johnson.

Had a ferret in the loft and found this. A working 1972 Hammond 102200 mini synth.
Top view of the synth. 3 1/2 octave keyboard and patch bank. 
Patch bank of the synth from the side. 
Closer view of the patch bank. 
There are presets on the right (French horn, violin and space echo amongst them), octave selectors and filters elsewhere. 
A slider allows you to add wind (noise) and tune it. 
Some button tops are missing, but the button works OK.

You can try adding -ai to your query and, for now, Google will omit the summary.
