Had an niche anxiety dream that the British Library moved to Lancaster so I had to travel 200+ miles and when I got there it was shut because it was a Saturday.

Police who deal with less "serious" stuff like anti-social behaviour. So it doesn't take police away from solving murders etc. They are the people who will also do welfare checks if you are worried about a neighbour or elderly person.

I think if the videos are going to be used by the Police, then she can't share them till maybe after a trial or a caution has been issued.

I was in room of disabled people volunteering to assess access in public. Group shown series of disabled symbols & asked to identify them. For the person with a blind cane I said "danger, blind people attacking." Only the blind guy laughed. 10 others horrified. Yes, I have the tism.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

You'd say a Blackpool Pier. Just like I'd say I worked at a Blackpool nightclub but if I said the name it would be meaningless to anyone who didn't drink in Blackpool 99 to 2002.

Humans using machines make clothes and books. Most clothes are to general sizes and a few to a specific individuas measurements. The equivalent in books would be if you commissioned a novel just for you. Otherwise we are all reading general sizing books.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Why is the BBC news giving sofree publicity for a book he's promoting? It's not news. It was on Radio 4 news too. I just don't really care what a posh man said about his dead ex wife 30 years ago. This post at least has something vaguely current (press & MM), but the rest were tosh

Hookland should twin with Cleveleys in Lancashire which has this art from the local council. There's a stone maze too and they gave every school child a book about the petrified forest that was washed away by the sea, presumably so they would have dreams of drowning.
A statue of a giant squatting and looking out to sea photographed in black and white. This is a real piece of public art and not AI.Close up of a weather beaten stone ogre looking out to sea with completely black eyes. He looks unhappy.

Happy to help! I was diagnosed as hypermobile in 1996 and EDS in 2022. I have to say the plus side is looking 10 years + younger than I am, because my faulty collagen isn't wrinkling my face.

You should think more fascia than ligaments or muscles. And if it's EDS in most people it's failing to keep joints in place. But in some it's causing stiffness all over. In EDS muscles don't get a chance to stretch as everything around it is stretching instead. Stay away from stretch workouts!
040
Caroline B 👩🏻‍🦼 @sunnystitcher.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
The way it was explained to me was the fascia (connective tissue) is stretching, not the muscles. So doing stretches a normal body might warm up then exercise will use the muscles. EDS people are just going straight to injuries or stiffness.
