@compoundchem time for a shower, guys

@rhysmorgan cmon boyo you know better than to equate courage and conviction with testicles (Hercules pronunciation stylee)

Fish, chips, burgers, kebab kinda things?

@selzero @xinit @Noortjevee I am also waiting for a reputable outlet to write something up. It's very speculation at the minute.
Which I'm fine with people doing - I too would love to see her crash and burn. But as you say, if it's basically a nothing burger she will use that and she will raise more funds to cause more harm. So I'm waiting.

@astronomerritt @macpsych if you can get over to Borough the Long Lane Fish Bar is pretty good
Or there's Kennedy's up around Moorgate
But yeah don't think there's much on isle o dogs...

@skeuomorphology I don't see how this can be well interpreted without something like waste water as well though. Most people aren't testing :/ (or is that what this is..?)

It will never stop being funny to me that the whole "you can't trust Wikipedia because anyone can edit it" scare happened and now Wikipedia is the only trustworthy website because it turns out profit motive is the reason things turn to shit.

The demand isn’t that Picard lie. The demand is that Picard stop trusting his own eyes.

@skinnylatte what an absolute piece of shit.

“The best way to proceed is to ignore it,” Chomsky wrote, according to text signed under his first name that Epstein sent to a lawyer and publicist. “That’s particularly true now with the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women, which has reached the point that even questioning a charge is a crime worse than murder.”

@skinnylatte @mloxton I have been to... Edinburgh 🙃
Thanks to brexit, going to work across Europe is not the option it was before my first job.

Now that the finished work has arrived with its new owner, I can reveal it here!

The same embroidery piece as in previous posts of this thread, now finished.

On a piece of off-white muslin cloth, it says "fuck ai" in the top half of the fabric, stitched in cursive with red yarn in chain stitch.
Below, a flower meadow with multi-colored flowers, some green leaves, some branches with tiny leaves, flower stems and grass. Washed-out greenery (done with textile markers) is visible in the background.

@neil @welshpixie and when they turn up to tell everyone to use Linux despite them already explaining why that might not be possible for them [right now]

@skinnylatte I feel like this about London 🫠
Don't know how anywhere else works (including California! Failed at that)

The cartoon illustrates the problem of water use in the AI age: a farmer's child and his mother are pumping a little water from a well for their daily use. Two knights in armor, transporting a large, spherical water container on wheels, come by and say, "The King wishes to make more avatars of himself as a Ghibli character."
In the background, a castle sits enthroned on a hill. The cartoon illustrates the excessive water consumption required for AI model queries.

@ianRobinson are you saying the two are the same, or very comparable? Because hard disagree.

Hab noch ein weiteres quadratisches Aquarell fertig gemalt. Noch rechtzeitig für die nächste Con, auf der ich bin. Auch hier suche ich einen lieben Menschen, der es gerne adoptieren möchte.
Ich habe Aquarell Buntstifte und Büttenpapier verwendet. Größe: 21x21cm. Und es glitzert sogar
