Thanks. Jet's very much into the now. Now I'm asleep on my outdoor bed. Now I'm awake and hungry. Now Robert's given me a treat, but I'm still hungry. 😂

That'll do me, #Wordle. First night home after a 5 week #outback #roadtrip to #Uluru with my 14-year-old dog. What's that, Jet? No more road trips? Okay, good dog! ❤️🐶 #Wordle1575 3/6 #dogs #mydogposts

Jet was happy to arrive home in #Sydney after our #outback #roadtrip to #Uluru. But he also needed a big sleep under my writing desk. ❤️🐶 #dogs #mydog #olddog #mydogposts #van #vanlife #ontheroad

Thanks, David. I hope you enjoy your adventures as much as I have mine. I've loved the freedom of the van, even if the breakdown did dent my confidence in it. But hey, there 280,000+ kilometres on the odo! 😂

Robert Fairhead @tallandtrue.bsky.social · 2d

We'll be back in Sydney again tomorrow, Jet. What's that? You want to keep going on our road trip? Oh, you don't want to keep going, you want to stay home! Okay, good dog. ❤️🐶 #dogs #mydog #olddog #mydogposts #van #vanlife #outback #sydney #uluru #roadtrip

Started the day in #Dubbo with a walk along the Macquarie River with Jet and a fond memories selfie outside #DubboZoo (no dogs allowed!). 🦏 #van #vanlife #outback #roadtrip #nsw #dogs #mydog #olddog #mydogposts

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.
