By the way, hello to everyone on here, I’ve not used this in centuries but I hope it’s still alive and kicking?

I’ve discovered the interactive online whiteboard MIRO. A really great tool but yet it surprises me that you can’t get a similar tool as software, so you can locally host for multiple collaborators, instead of everything being behind a paywall.

Direct copy from X. I’m referring to the England Lionesses, of course! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Someone needs to take the plunge, if we can’t go - then someone has to!

I’m obsessed with the @Lionesses. It’s not just the football, they just come across as such a special, positive and lovely bunch of people. They radiate teamwork and support for each other. This is a one of a kind squad.

I also want to say that Big Finish gives many fresh designers, writers, actors and producers opportunities at the beginning of their careers. So by supporting Big Finish, you’re actually helping to kickstart careers and help creative people with their first foot on the ladder.

I can’t tell you how happy I am to see a dexterous textured style come back to iPhone! Sick of minimalist design!

This is Google Flow. It’s a new AI that can create videos with dialogue, sound design and music. It’s pretty much going to annihilate the career of thousands of creatives. What a time to be alive. youtu.be/kC8dxvMKsEc?...

Protect human storytelling. This company clearly doesn’t care about that, only maximising profit. The entire world will look, sound and feel entirely bland soon, all in the name of progress. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

This makes you realise how the original (made in 1999) really was innovative. It barely looks any different to this new modern reboot! youtu.be/Y4qqoyIcERU?...

Why did they use AI to upscale Wallace and Gromit when it was shot on film? Is this the future that it’s cheaper to use AI than transfer? Did they transfer *and* use AI? Just curious
