For the record, I've never used Midjourney or ChatGPT or any other LLM or art-mangling AI. I gave up on Google and use DuckDuckGo with the AI functions and images turned off under the Manage AI setting. I use spellcheck in Word because my spelling sucks and I visit the Merriam-Webster website a lot.

Actor and comedian Stanley Baxter dies
Baxter was a multi-faceted comic actor and impressionist who was bold enough to mimic the Pope and even the Queen.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

Boris Johnson approved China’s London super-embassy proposal in 2018
Exclusive: Former PM gave consent while foreign secretary for Royal Mint Court complex, a project still in limbo seven years later
Boris Johnson approved the China’s super-embassy proposal in 2018 and welcomed the fact it would represent “China’s largest overseas diplomatic investment” anywhere in the world, the Guardian can disclose.
In a letter to Wang Yi, China’s top diplomat, Johnson gave his consent for Royal Mint Court to house a sprawling diplomatic complex in May 2018. The Chinese government bought the 20,000 sq metres site for £255m that same month. Continue reading...

If you live in California and happen to see Spartan Mosquito Pro Techs for sale, please send me a photograph and the address of the store. The scam tubes are banned there and company gets fined up to $10,000 *per* instance. I'd very much like to facilitate that happening. #california #mosquitoes

As the world has looked back on VE day this week, we have had a question about St Bartholomew's Hospital in the Second World War, which we can't answer. Can you help?!
This photo was taken in the hospital square in the 1940s; what was the purpose of the temporary wooden structures in the background?

This weekend is Imbolc; halfway between winter and spring. Today in NH there will be 10 hours of light between sunrise and sunset. It's also Groundhog Day, and whether or not Phil saw his shadow (he did) it's still 10 to 12 weeks minimum until spring weather arrives. Hope is lighting the darkness.

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people
