A legislative experiment explores communication using "What Three Words" addresses to create ... well, I'm not sure what. It's some sort of useless mnemonic aid I guess.

https://waferiction.blogspot.com/2025/09/what-three-words-legislative-experiment.html

This project uses seemingly random words, nonsense couplets and AI-generated art. The resulting images, akin to early modern emblems, serve as mnemonic aids, exploring how we create meaning. #Capitals #Provinces #AIArt #Canada #geography #Emblems

Emblem of the Glasgw Humane Society on its headquarters on Glasgow Green. Founded in 1790, by members of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, the Glasgow Humane Society aims to preserve human life in and around the waterways of Greater Glasgow. At 34 years older than the RNLI, it arguably operates the oldest continuing lifeboat service in the world.
