Keep yourself educated. Chances are you've already encountered deepfakes in some form or other, and that—even if just for a brief moment—you didn't realise they were fake. And chances are that sooner or later one may catch you and trick you in ways that'll hurt you or the people around you.

… to see the nonsense of his own words.

Unless of course he is so dense that this light is swallowed by the immense gravity well of cognitive dissonance, leaving him to remain in the comfort of his precious intellectual darkness.

Someone just described himself as “A follower of Christ and our beloved president Donald Trump”.

But this doesn't physics. If a Christ particle and an Antichrist particle met, they should instantly annihilate each other in a flash of energy so bright that even the follower of both were able…

Rather will I read a book that is born through the sweat and toil and torment and love and dreams and intellect and perseverance of a human mind, than one chugged out by a soulless automaton.

As earworms go, this one is far from the worst to wake up to, even if it's just the chorus on repeat. So here's the whole thing (whilst the CD is playing on the HiFi).

“Walkabout”, Nik Kershaw, “The Works” (1989)

The full moon last night.

Yeah, the sky could have been clearer.

House still at the same address, car not stuck up a tree around the corner, dog (size S) merely *almost* airborne on the last walk. So far we're doing okay 😊

Amy is storming in to give us a good blowing. So far tonight it's mostly heavy breathing, but guess who'll be in the wet spot tomorrow.

Pro tip: When you call a tech support line, you do not—and I repeat, you do NOT!—start the conversation with “Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord Jesus?”

I'd be far more impressed with your extra luxury sized bus if instead of an extra foot of headroom, I could get a couple more inches of legroom.

Sincerely, six foot four.

Bus smells: Someone is drinking beer, and quietly keeping it to himself. Another has gas, and is quietly sharing it with everyone. And somewhere nearby there's a woman who doesn't understand the concept ‘too much of a good thing’.

And for all that I know, they may well all be the same person.

If I tell an American that I'm about to walk out into 29°, he'll caution me to dress up for the cold. Well, we do °C over here. I'll be dressing down as much as is legally advisable.

Those moments when you're standing in line at the supermarket, impatiently waiting to check out your groceries, and then your thoughts drift to people in Gaza getting shot dead by Israelis whilst waiting in line for food.

According to the latest update, it's a coin toss whether the new monster arrives late today or some time tomorrow. The edge of my seat is in dire need of reinforcing as I pass the time with industrial strength waiting.

Just got confirmation from the courier service that my new computer is on its way. All I have to do now is check the delivery status every thirty seconds for the next few days until I have it at home.

Pausing for a moment to reflect on that time when I got in a fight for slicing bread too damn straight.

No fancy meme, just me saying that I consider it everyone's right to seek happiness, love, purpose, and fulfilment, in whatever way or form as they find right and natural for themself, regardless of gender, sex, or orientation, as long as it is between adult, consenting equals, and harms no-one.🏳️‍🌈

Good morning, my dear fellow apes of all colours, shapes, and sizes. I wish you a smooth and pleasant ride as we perform yet another merry spin about the axis of our little home in the sky 😊

The RAW versus the edit.

No filters or presets used, just a chain of choices, and a good amount of trial and error.
