I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

You're inevitable reminder that #AI cannot recognise garbage even when it is clearly junk to a human.
#copilot here summarising a document and claiming assertively various things are discussed and including citations for these claims.
All very believable. The problem? Let's look at the document...

What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?
Honestly I think you'd be surprised how every so often an odd skill resurfaces (possibly/hopefully with the exception of @williamnb.bsky.social's shaped charges)
Least likely - stripping a 2 stroke outboard carburettor.

In my case, using plastic explosives to make shaped charges, to direct a blast in a certain direction.

Cable lacing for me. We would stitch hundreds of metres of cables into telephone exchanges using waxed string. We all had callouses on our fingers from pulling them tight.
They use zip ties nowadays!

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”
A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.
Do the steps sound familiar?
