“There is no point in being grown up if you can’t be childish sometimes.” Jesus - on turning water into Ribena just to mess with the wedding guests at Cana in Galilee.

I really like the Artemis pictures that are clearly taken from the window. It gives it a sense of ‘realness’. Like we’ve all tried to take a cool picture out of the window of an airplane only to have the reflection of the window spoil the image.

Love those famous sitcom catchphrases
A sign at the BBC saying, incorrectly, "Don't tell him your name Pike". As we all know the correct line is "hey Pike, don't tell the German U Boat Captain what your name is, your name being Pike. Private Frank Pike. Remember not to reveal that information". Classic.

“Broombridge at Sunrise” First painting of the year and the first for a while. I’m quite pleased with how the sky turned out. I really wanted to capture this sunrise from my commute, and the trams and train arriving together spoke to me. Water mixable oils on a canvas board.
Oil painting of a tram station next to a train station. A train has arrived and passengers are crossing a footbridge to reach the tram station. A tram is boarding passengers, one tram has departed. The morning sky is orange, pink and lilac, and the sky tones are reflected on the ground.

I’m not sure about the rules of baseball, but I’m pretty sure in cricket this would be ruled as a no ball, and so my team would get the winning run needed without needing to hit the baby at all.

It boils my piss that the news stories are continuously 'are we over-diagnosing mental health problems?' rather than 'oh my God what have we DONE to ourselves that SO many people are SO profoundly unhappy and anxious and unwell?'

If genAI was any good, all they'd have to do is tell us about it, and show us a demo. We'd taste it and say, "Egad! This is truly a tool of the gods!" and we'd throw all our money at it. But it's no good, so they jizz it all over our basic work tools, stand back, and smugly say, "you're welcome."

The main outcome of social media is the ability for nut jobs of all persuasions to cluster together and validate their insanity with other equally deluded people. Before social media they generally existed in isolation & could be ignored. Now loudness is confused with legitimacy.
