Our car did not survive yesterday. Wouldn't start yesterday and it's 100% dead this morning. :(
Netflix's "Cunk on Earth" is the laugh you need right now.

Someone in Australia is currently very pleased that they got to use their fancy 360 degree gamma spectroscope camera device to find that lost radioactive source.

@parisba Complain about it -- I dare you!
I'm participating in #GenreJukebox early this month but that's the only commitment that's holding me on Twitter. The shutting down of the API was very indicative of the way it's going and, frankly, it's not offering much (anything?) that Mastodon doesn't do better at this point.

my career would not be what it is today without there having been a free and open Twitter API. Making it paid-only is a monumentally stupid business decision but also just like… what a loss for internet weirdos everywhere

Captured this small and violent squall that moved over the lighthouse last June, we could not believe what we were witnessing, the rain and hail came in seconds after I took this shot and we had to retreat #RubhaNanGall #Lighthouse #Nature #LandscapePhotography #BeautifulScotland #IsleOfMull #Mull #Tobermory #Scotland #StormyWeather #Rainbow #Photography #SunSet #AltText

People are needlessly concerned that the unavoidable #misuse of #AI (language and visual) tools will "break the #information landscape". The quality and quantity of "fake news" and other published BS may increase but people with the #knowledge and #tools to distinguish between #reality and #fiction will always have the upper hand.
Humanity was in this situation of "disruptive innovation" many times in the past, and it somehow managed to grow up of it a little bit better than before.
Show me a single non-rhyming poem that adds something positive to the human experience and deserves long-term memetic propagation.
