Man, am I glad* I lived to see the age of A.I. and the way it's permeated society. How the fuck did I ever manage** to live my life without it, I ask myself. *not glad. **I managed just fine, thank you.

Paused the movie to get another drink. WTF is this? I guess us little people are killing the planet by watering our plants and washing our cars. Big corporations on the other hand...

Pause screen if a streamed movie at home. An image shows a child shouting through a megaphone, with the text Let's Save Water: Oi, Grown ups, save some water for us

#OnThisDay in 1888, George Eastman patents the very first roll film camera and registers @Kodak as a trademark. It revolutionised photography, making it truly portable. The first Kodak cameras produced circular snapshots, only 2.5 inches in diameter: publicdomainreview.org/collection/k... #OTD

Twelve years ago today #RobinWilliams died. No one knew at the time he had #Lewybodydementia. His wife Susan Schneider Williams wrote a powerful piece about Robin and the disease that had caused him so much pain.

Well, I've kept this account pretty quiet for a long time - I've never been eager to draw attention, and the dance between personal expression and risking blowback from my employer hasn't been worth it. As of today, however, I'm one of many who were laid off across the XBox division. (thread)

"Wood Pigeon and The Thing From Hell" coming soon to a cinema near you... Second year in a row this #pigeon (I'm assuming it's the same one) has nested on top of a storage cupboard in my rear porch (oo-er, missus). Last year two chicks were raised, this year only one of the two eggs hatched #nature

A photograph of a wood pigeon sitting in its nest with its young chick next to it. Wood pigeons may be all sleek and colour coordinated but their chicks? Not so much.

If you check out the #buyastrangerabook hashtag and you live in the UK, you'll see about 10 unclaimed offers. People are offering to buy people books, but nobody is asking. It's not tricky to do. Essentially, people are being lovely. So check out the hashtag, stop being a doof, and just ask!

I think spring has finally arrived (fingers crossed) in my small corner of the English Lake District, so to celebrate here's a virtual photo of #spring. #GT7 #GranTurismo7 #VirtualPhotography #ChevyNova #PhotoMode #Playstation

An image captured from the video game Gran Turismo 7. The image is predominately several trees covered in pink blossom. In the lower right had corner of the image a customised 1967 Chevrolet Nova. The car is painted metallic purple and has a decorative, contrasting purple strip along its side, low-rider style. Chrome bumpers reflect the sunlight, while chrome wheels with purple insets complete the image.
