Alternatively just play YYZ on a permanent loop - I'd be happy.

Heathrow to pipe 'sounds of an airport' around airport

The airport has commissioned a soundtrack recorded on site to reflect the "excitement" of waiting to board a flight.

I recently got back from a fabulous Interrail holiday to Scandinavia. I visited Brussels, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Aarhus, Cologne, and Maastricht. How lucky am I? Denmark was particularly fantastic. 😍

It's #WaterfallWednesday 💙 Scale Haw Force is a pretty little waterfall a short walk from the village of Hebden in Wharfedale. What's not to love about this photograph!

A serene waterfall cascades over a rocky cliff surrounded by lush greenery. Multiple streams of water create a misty effect as they hit moss-covered rocks below. Sunlight filters through the trees, illuminating parts of the waterfall and foliage

Clever use of 2 mirrors on either side of a window high up in Cley Windmill, giving the illusion of a receding passageway.

A repeated pattern of window with bars giving the impression of a receding passageway, created by 2 mirrors (one placed either side of the window).

Der #Fählensee im #Alpstein – der schönste «Fjord» der #Schweiz – eingebettet zwischen Widderalpstöcken, Hundstein, Altmann und Kreuzbergen. Ein echtes #Sommer-Highlight. 🏔💦🤩

Wandertipp: «Drei-Seen-Wanderung im Alpstein» 👉 buff.ly/f3MXzQc

Blick auf den smaragdgrünen Fählensee im Alpstein, eingebettet zwischen steilen, felsigen Bergflanken mit spitzen Zacken. Im Vordergrund steht ein traditionelles Berggasthaus mit roten Fensterläden, umgeben von grünen Wiesen und Nadelbäumen. Über dem Tal strahlt der blaue Himmel mit wenigen weissen Wolken.

With X and Grok now actively promoting Nazism and the Holocaust, now is a great time to ask individuals and institutions why they're still supporting that platform.

Jonathan Portes @jdportes.bsky.social · Jul 8

I have sent this email to my Director of Comms at KCL and would encourage others to do likewise.

I am writing to ask you to delete the official King’s account on X, or at least to stop posting there, and to instruct other official KCL accounts to do the same

“Grok” – which is the official X integrated AI/chat feature – is now directly praising Hitler and calling for Jews and others to be put in concentration camps. This is ,as widely reported, the direct result of its reprogramming by Elon Musk. In other words, it’s not that X has been largely overrun by far-right accounts – although that is also the case – this directly Nazi propaganda is coming directly from X itself/its senior management

There is absolutely no excuse or justification for us to have any presence there at all any more and we should stop

Musk has adjusted Grok’s algorithm so it’s now a neo-Nazi.

Pretty cool that almost every progressive commentator, elected official and organization still uses Musk’s X algorithm to communicate with the public! Good job guys.

I’m not on Facebook, as it’s a privacy sh!tshow even before the latest AI stuff. But giving access to your photo library to their AI is bonkers. Also, another example of wasting resources for frivolous crap to feed the advertising monster 🤷‍♂️
