Even the algorithm recognised that as a sculpture of Godzilla, and grouped my feed accordingly
Screenshot of my Bluesky feed, showing Natalie's post immediately followed by a post by "Godzilla vs Content" showing a scene from Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001). The photo in Natalie's post of a Roman eagle looks very unlike an eagle and much more like Godzilla from the original 1954 film.

Top reply to that post is delicious
Reply on X/Twitter by @CcpSkipTracer (includes news article screenshots as proof): "You’re so full of shit. You bought this vehicle in 2013 for Mariah and Cara Kennedy-Cuomo, who were 17 at the time. Your youngest daughter, Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo, was nearly 16. If you can be this dishonest with the people on the eve of Election Day, what else will you lie about?"

Not sure if I've got this 100% right, but I've had a try at the full alt text

It only gets worse...
Screenshots further in the Financial Times podcast transcript, as mentioned above: "Marc Filippino: Is that a little ironic that you’re using AI to figure out this thing about AI? Melissa Heikkilä: Well, actually it’s a great use case, right? Because this is a massive dataset and would’ve taken us weeks, months even, to do this manually. And so yeah, so we use the tool to do this analysis. And then we went through what it said and then we got our findings."

General standards. www.markpack.org.uk/168548/why-i... also www.britishpollingcouncil.org/faqs-about-p... and you can keep going but you won't find a professional opinion saying 1500 is bad
Screenshot: "However, there is a law of diminishing returns. A poll of 2,000 people is not twice as likely to be accurate as one of 1,000 people. As a result, there is no “minimum” sample size which is acceptable. But bearing in mind cost and likely accuracy, the established norm for an opinion poll in Great Britain is that it interviews at least 1,000 people."

At the Leicester Square Odeon, London, for the premiere of "Captured Souls: In Conversation with Graham Humphreys" for which I did (almost all) the music and sound design.

Astronomy But Make It Sleeves
The cover of Stevie Wonder's album "Songs in the Key of Life" which, as a series of concentric orange rings increasing in intensity towards a bright centre, resembles the blazar illustrated in the original post.

Ok. Here's what you said in full. You're absolutely the same sort of Democrat who said this kind of thing about, for example, gay marriage rights in the past
Post by Mere J 42 @meredithjerome.bsky.social: "I am all for trans rights. But I do not want this to be the hill we die on. I agree Charlie Kirk was ridiculous to have one. He's trying to have a more open dialogue. But this is all a distraction. Newsome outrage is on the back burner for me. When we are about to lose our country."

This yours?
A photo of three small shops in a terraced row in Deptford, South London. Nestled between Hung's Chinese Takeaway and Indian Kitchen sat my favourite sinister shopfront, the yellow sign for The Semiconductor Archives, boasting "MILITARY AND INDUSTRIAL OBSOLETE SEMICONDUCTORS". The sign also lists their telephone and fax number, which it gloriously lists as "Facsimile".

Photo: Pop star Adam Ant in the early 1980s. He stands before a red background dressed in 18th century "Stand And Deliver" costume. His head is tilted down and a white stripe is painted horizontally from cheek to cheek across the bridge of his nose, just like the fur pattern of the cat in the original post.

It was created by David Shrigley, an artist with an intentionally comedic, child-like style. He usually makes things like this:
A black line drawing on a white background of a snake-haired Gorgon. She has a unibrow and her slightly opened lips form a tight ring around her central incisors, giving her a squirrel-ish look of benign good humour. At the foot of the page is written in capital letters, underlined: "THIS PICTURE DOES NOT DO YOU JUSTICE"

Biden deported more people than Trump. Trump is evil and his plans with ICE are evil, but why are you suddenly making Nazi Germany comparisons if you weren't saying the same of Biden?
BBC News, 20 December 2024: "US immigration authorities last year deported the largest number of undocumented immigrants in nearly a decade, surpassing the record of Donald Trump's first term in office. More than 271,000 immigrants were deported from the US over the last fiscal year, according to [ICE's internal report]"

This was their subtweet directly after these replies to them, so... No, they didn't
