Oh it's one book with a long title (taken from a line in the Man Who Fell to Earth, starring David Bowie). It's a novel about growing up, basically.

Oh, sorry, for accuracy, joined sampdoria, who are in Genoa, to avoid tax, because he's a bad person.

It's fascinating that the "why Souness joined Genoa" isn't going much harder on "to avoid tax, because he's a bad person".

It's a bizarre profession where you can write all the text and someone totally different writes the title. Imagine being an author and allowing that!

Okay. Let's act on it and put them all in prison for their crimes. Doxxing, revenge porn, copyright breaches. Theft of EVERYTHING. Corporate espionage, hacking, interference with government property. That'll get them life in prison with no internet access.

I genuinely wonder what the solution to things like this is. To build a quicker, more convenient society, records are digitised and stored on networked systems. But I don't know if there's a realistic way to make that convenience secure and still convenient. But almost everything has holes.

Is that made with Ai? It looks truly awful. In fact it looks like dialogue from Starfield.

If someone asks for a definition of a job, it's going to be something like "doing work for money", which this isn't. This is volunteering for a private company.

Maybe it'll be a little more stiff and better for detailing and it turns out you're actually a genius not a chaotic mess.

Today's the 960th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, so obviously I'm reposting my scenes from the Bayeux Tapestry in Playmobil.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Heather, a Canadian illustrator and educator. I work in many different media and much of my art ends up in interpretive panels that I create for clients all over the place. I also teach online drawing classes. #SciArt

A digital painting of a pair of wood ducks sitting on a rock next to the water's edge in a green forest. The greyish female is on the left and the colourful male with his bright green head, red eye and orange bill is on the right. A digitally painted diorama depicting all of the different animals that benefit from badger digging in southern Alberta. There is a black and white badger crawling down a hole after a Richardson's ground squirrel while a green and black tiger salamander rest in a side cave. Another side cave holds a western rattlesnake. Above ground, you see two burrowing owls poking their heads out of a hole while a swift fox and her kit sit among the wildflowers. A common nighthawk flies overhead in the light of sunset.

Presumably because the only people that think a 2cv is desirable rather than desperate loved the, and i apologise for saying this 'BoHo' vibe. They were truly awful cars. But kitsch. It's a niche target audience, but its there

I genuinely don't know how it works. Is it just a website? It feels like they'd really want an app. Do i need an account? Do i need to link my payment details? The only Ai I've engaged with was trying to figure out how to disable Ai overview on YouTube and accidentally reading s search summary.

I never had a backpack for casual use because I hate them and they're ugly. But I accidentally got one about ten years ago and it's outrageously practical. And that is slightly bigger than mine, a LOT less ugly than mine, and doesn't look like it's trying to be sporty at me. I can do £35 for it.

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

I think this is pretty expected though isn't it? TFG made us stable mid table (though with a cut to the bone squad because american investment fund) and will double their money. Better than the last guy. Not very exciting.

It's amazing how often these people are wrong, but as long as they're right once, they can coast on it for a long time. A bit like the RA, they only need to get lucky once.

I think because the status quo was always a negotiated two state solution, the assumption was that things would just go back to the 90s or so boundaries
