If your day has been difficult, or if you’re feeling anxious, here’s some Cornish medicine to ease your heart. It might not change things much but hopefully a moment of calm will help in a small way. May your evening be peaceful, my friends. 😊 #Cornwall #sunset #sky #ocean #calm #peace #photography

I've been living in (S-E) England for almost 30 years and never heard of a "stottie" before! Want one now. I've also never had pease pudding. Or is that the same as mashed peas? (In which case, I have.) youtu.be/VoSFV5-yleo #Stottie #xl8

The threat of climate change is over. BP is expected to ditch a target to ramp up renewable energy generation by 2030. For a while there I was worried about global warming but if BP says it’s safe that’s good enough for me. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The mysteries of PR... The ghost of the GDR lives on in the map organised by second votes (= share of seats) with the notable addition of Kaiserslautern, AfD-blue in the SW. Switch to first votes (direct votes for local candidates) and Kaiserslautern turns red (won by Mathias Mieves, SPD). 🤷‍♂️

Looks like they built the housing estate on unsuitable terrain (on top of caves and sandpits, of all things). How can that happen? Ah, yes, greed, of course.

UK #creatives: please say "NO" to giving up #copyright protection. You only have until 25 Feb to complete the #UK government's #AI #consultation survey. Only 9 questions are essential. I've found some templates you can use if you don't have time to think of your own responses. 👇 #AITools #xl8

Biologists are discovering a world of beings tinier than viruses that appear to be everywhere – even living inside us. We have no idea what most of them are doing, but they raise profound questions about what life is and how it got started. www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...

Sneezed while bending down to pick something up. My Gen X-back can't believe I did that. Ouch.

Today I feel like going to Riyadh to negotiate the surrender of France to Germany. I hope the UK may get to keep Provence as part of the deal. Naturally France won't be attending.

I (somewhat belatedly) found out yesterday that Trump has had friendly relations with Russia since the 80s. So much so that a former KGB spy called him an "asset". Interesting, isn't it? www.businessinsider.com/russia-culti...

For much-needed escapism, I've been watching old films on the Internet Archive. Also found some good books there (including some German ones!). archive.org #InternetArchive #Books #Music #Films #Movies

What are the odds? Got a new book from the library and started reading an Oxford resident's WW2 diaries while waiting for my dental appointment. Turns out, the person who wrote the diary lived IN the house where my dental practice is these days! #Synchronicity #Coincidence #Weird

So, the US and the UK have refused to sign the #AI summit declaration. 🙄 The US is "reportedly unhappy about the wording, which includes phrases such as “sustainable and inclusive AI”". Can't have tech that protects the environment and respects people if it means less cash, I guess. #AISummit
