Experiment successful.

The cast of TV sitcom Cheers, Cliff, Coach, Carla, Sam, Diane and Norm, but they're all been quickly faceswapped with Cher's face. The title above reads 'Chers'.

Great log dragon o’ the wood.

One of Keats’s finest.

A page from a collection of John Keats’s poems with the playground rhyme ‘Harty Farty’ photoshopped at the top of it.
Omnes: “Harty Farty had a party
All the farts were there -
Tutti Fruity did a beauty
And they all went out for air.”

“Our AI data centre will create 250 jobs until it works out a way to make 200 of them redundant.”

Alex Morris @asjmorris.bsky.social · 20d

The creation of 250 jobs doesn’t seem like a huge gift back to the community that’s going to be housing this boiling behemoth.

I’m surprised that Musk hasn’t built a huge AI server farm here already, solely dedicated to help him defeat level 183b of Path of Exile 7.

Alex Morris @asjmorris.bsky.social · 20d

I mean if you going to put a pin in a map for where to flatten land and build a boiling hot server farm.

And when there’s a hosepipe ban? I guess this is nothing to do with the William Girling and King George’s reservoirs being just down the road, is it?

What is Microsoft's new AI supercomputer in Loughton, Essex?

Loughton is set to become the heart of the UK's AI revolution when its data centre opens in 2026.

...and the Know How books. Usborne books are brilliant for kids.

A selection of Usbourne's first 11 Know How books for children, including the Know How books of Experiments, Fishing, Jokes and Tricks, Paper Fun, Puppets, Spycraft, Flying Models, Batteries and Magnets, Print and Paint, Action Toys and Action Games.

Alex Morris @asjmorris.bsky.social · 21d

I loved the way that Usbourne made that and The Detective’s Handbook, so you could play against your mates using the skills you’d learned.

An illustration from the excellent children's book The Spy's Guidebook showing two pictures under the heading 'Who's Watching Who?'. The first picture shows a spy looking out of a window with binoculars while another spy is visible by their hat from behind a garden fence, apparently looking through a hole - the picture is accompanied by the text "This spy is trapped in his house. An enemy spy has stood outside not moving, for five hours. But all is not as it seems.". The second image reveals the other side of the stand-off. The other spy in the blue hat is a wooden pole with a hat on the end the other side of the fence. The text on the second picture reads "The enemy spy is just a decoy made up of a few wooden planks, shoes and a hat."

A photo of King Charles, Queen Camilla and - most likely - a decoy Melania Trump made up of a few wooden planks, shoes and a purple hat.

Would you ask a professional sports person the same question? Or even an enthusiastic amateur runner? If you hold down CMD and OPTION you can get it to do a cold scan. But I wouldn't. I cold scanned a comic page I was really proud of and it came out like this:

Possibly, although it's a coal-fired, twenty five year old Epson 1660. Don't think they cared about such stuff back then...

Every so often scan a bank statement, just to keep it on its toes.
