I should probably at least do a first post to say hello - so, hello 👋 - I'm Rick, I like a bit of photography and walking around the UK moorland where we live, and for work I build fancy careers websites for big UK companies. This is Wendy, our #Corgi, watching me do a spot of gardening

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

There's a heartbreaking amount of emboldened hate in Britain at the moment, and this is beautifully put about why all the flags going up are so problematic - everyone knows they're a proxy for racists airing their views rather than actually loving their country.

Just watched a webinar about AI use in security pen-testing, and "crapplication" (vibe-coded applications with security flaws) is now my favourite term 😂

Hello!
It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business.
My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares, accessories and stationery.
I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing.

The hamlet of Oldroyd on the opposite side of the valley from my house always looks super pretty at this time of year as all the Hawthorn trees flower 😍

A view of the side of a valley, lush green grass at the bottom and rough Pennine moorland at the top, in the middle are old stone farm buildings, surrounded by lots of white-flowering Hawthorne trees. Taken near sunset with golden light and long shadows highlighting the bumpy contours of the land.

A few photos I took from a day out at @yspsculpture.bsky.social yesterday (it's a world class art gallery set within a country park in Yorkshire, UK).

I'm still thinking about the tasty chocolate and banana tray-bake from the cafe there - so good 🤤

#Art #Sculpture #Photography
The sculpture 'Into Being' by the sculptor Laura Ellen Bacon - a very large 'flowing' sculpture (like draped fabric with ripples in it) by weaving and bending wicker tree twigs (like a wicker basket, but a more free-form shape and a lot bigger with 'waves' of texture to it). There's a person stood next to it for scale (it's taller than her, a bit over 2 metres tall, about 8-10 meters wide, about 6 meters deep (it mostly fills the room) and there's a path through the middle of it to allow you to be within the sculpture The sculpture 'six women' by Bharti Kher, there are casts of 6 seated and naked women made out of plaster of Paris, each sat on wooden stools, set in a white cavernous gallery space. On the far wall stands a man looking at a very large circular artwork on the wall made out of thousands of small golden discs in a tightly packed spiral. The sculpture 'Djinn' by artist Bharti Kher, a 5 meter tall metal sculpture, reminiscent of a (stylised) figure sat holding a giant bunch of bananas covering their face and fanning out over their head). The statue is situated outside, with an old building behind it, sat on grass, and a blue sky overhead. 'Love' sculpture by artist Robert Indiana, sat on a grassy bank with a countryside view rolling away behind it. The sculpture is typography of the word 'love' in red and extruded as 3d. It's split into 2 rows - 'LO' on top of 'VE'., and the 'O' is at a 45 degree angle.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

To say I love 5 mins down the road from it, I really should go for a walk around Hardcastle Crags more often - lovely walk this morning.
