First rhubarb jam of the season. Didn’t make enough so the jars aren’t sealing so gotta eat this one swiftly!
Two jars of dark red/brown jam jars that aren’t filled to the top very well

I find that @herring1967.bsky.social has excellent emergency questions to test AI gimmicks on.

Here’s to a pretty good ham hand.
An AI generated image of a human hand made out of ham made famous from Richard Herring’s emergency question: “Would you rather have a hand made of ham or an armpit that dispenses sun cream?” Alas I can’t show an armpit as that’s a bit too nsfw for Apple.

Is this the moment when ScotRail and the Scottish Government deal the ultimate flex and sue X Corp?
The new X logo, white X on a black background aka Twitter. Next it the ScotRail logo, a white X on a blue background like the saltire flag.
