Scientists have crossed the DNA of a crab with a cheetah.

They had to cancel the project because things went sideways *real* fast.

He has a strange sense of humour, must get it from his Mum.

Looking forward with great excitement to see what Father's Day card I get from my son this year.

Last year's card:

And so it begins:

In Derbyshire a policeman has been discovered using AI * associated technologies to 'create evidential material in a number of cases'....

And you can bet across the UK's numerous police forces there are more cases of evidence manipulation & generation by AI that have gone un-noticed or been quietly ignored.

This may not be new (Police have fabricated evidence in the past) but AI makes it much easier & more difficult to detect!

I think Eve is a booking genius with her woven bookmarks. If they were not described as such I'd say they're miniature wall-hanging art.

I know I'm biased but it's true. I'm driving her to Allendale shortly where these and other items will be going in to restock her display in the Allendale Forge craft shop. #Crafts #HandMade

Cyclists, I need your help! Boosts appreciated! :-3

I want an electric bike. I wasn't able to ride a bike for years, and now, I want some independence without a car (I can't get a license, long story).

My main needs are:
- Needs to be able to haul my ass 20km at the bare minimum
- I don't need any fancy stuff
- I need to be able to pedal on my own, easily, too. So probably will need bigger tires?
- I often will have to ride on dirt/mud, as some roads here just look like that
- I live in Poland, so something that I don't have to buy off of amazon is preferable.

I saw two ants running off together the other day, they were about to antelope.

Expressing gratitude in this post to the unknown person who found my knapsack hanging off the hook on the back of a supermarket trolley at Lidl’s in Niddrie and handed it in to the Security guard. My wallet with all my cards was inside the knapsack. So #thankyou to that person.
Here's my no expense spared filming rig. Don't obsess over cameras, magic arms are the most fun filming kit you can buy. That and a tripod IMHO
