It would seem AI slop has come for #NationalAlbumDay... www.nationalalbumday.co.uk/2026-release...
Screenshot of four compilation albums by Acrobat Music on the National Album Day website - 'Blues Icons: From the delta to the city'; 'Country icons; from hillbilly to honky tonk'; 'Rock 'n' Roll Icons: a musical revolution' and 'Street Corner Icons: the story of Doo Wop' - all with obvious AI-generated album artwork: the country one is the most obvious.

At this point, I'd prefer a nice tabulated outline of times rather than having to do mental calculations for an hourly #bus service... isn't this why they call it a bus timeTABLE? #hull
Portrait photograph of a slightly glared-out bus timetable provided by Hull City Council at the Barham Road Shops bus stop. The route, the 40 to Hull Interchange (effective 31 March 2024), running via Maybury (Road), Cavendish (Road) and Garden Village, displays 'usual times' between stops: Cromarty Road is advertised as being 3 minutes away, Lambwath Road is advertised as 9 minutes, Endymion Street is advertised as 14 minutes and Hull Interchange is advertised as 21 minutes.

The actual timetable outlay is one tabled block for Mondays to Fridays. Text variably in black-on-white and white-on-blue is, and I quote, '0856 Hull Interchange then at 56 Hull Interchange past until 1456 Hull Interchange'. Below this is the timetable for Saturdays, which reads: '0856 Hull Interchange then at 56 Hull Interchange past until 1456 Hull Interchange': this inbound stop is not serves by two extra Saturday outbound journeys for some reason. Below these times, for 'Sundays & Public Holiday', reads: 'No Sunday or Public Holiday service from this stop'.

How's free #bus travel for under-18s in the height of summer going for people? Of course you won't hear it here, but the reaction I'm seeing from drivers is uniformly negative, ie. kids left to run around buses like its a nursery. For me, it sounds like a good idea until you actually experience it.

#Pride in #Hull again today; my first Pride for a few years now. Didn't honestly think of going today given other commitments, but soon changed my mind when #Stagecoach brought a new Pride-liveried #bus in!
Dark blue double-decker Stagecoach bus (fleet no. 10741, registration SN66 VXJ) with orange, blue and green elements along the bottom and various Pride logos spread around the front and sides; a sticker above the door next to a Progress Pride flag states 'Proudly supporting Pride'. The scene here is someone stepping off the bus while off to the right, a Stagecoach gazebo stall is being attended to by Stagecoach drivers (one of whom is mugging for the camera) and interested members of the public.

Back from a five-day Bluesky sabbatical for my mental health (probably going to log out again, mind), and I've come to the conclusion that I really need to get back into #writing. Not the big, full-length novel kind burning me out, but maybe short stories I can do to put my foot in the door locally.

#Enshittification has sadly come for the only 'pointless' app I was willing to die on a hill for: the Oral-B toothbrush app. Compare a few years ago to tonight:
Screenshot dating back to 2022 of the Oral-B iO app, showing a representation of my teeth by how much the app deems I've brushed them by, in this case 95%. The 'daily coaching' provided states 'Your last session was near-perfect! Keep up the good work.' Screenshot tonight of the Oral-B iO app, now mainly dominated by a Corporate Memphis styled image of two women high-fiving in front of a tooth, subtitled with the advertorial 'Welcome [redacted]! Get ready to brush with our 3D Teeth Tracking technology'. 'Daily coaching' is now replaced by 'Today's mission: Charge your toothbrush now to ensure it is always ready to go!'
