Waterstones would sell books written by AI, says chain's boss www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Personally, I’m endlessly surprised by how crap AI actually is. Big tech stole all my books but still can’t create anything of value. Normal thieves are more effective! @waterstones

James Daunt says booksellers instinctively have "disdain" for AI but it could be sold if clearly labelled.

Album Cover Love 🤍

LOCKS - Skeletal Blues 💀 Artwork by Jemma Hardingham.

Each skeleton represents a track from the album, although having listened to it a million times, I’ve no idea which is which 🤣

Ever seen fungal illustrations? 🍄 Our Fungarium Sequencing Project Team is thrilled to show some of the original illustrations that were created when the species were first described as new to science. In some cases, this is the only visual reference material of the original fungus that we have! 🧵👇

Possibly a bit too small to notice on here, but look close enough, and you might even see a subtle vintage paper texture.

Happy Sunday ☕️☀️

Booooooo 🙈 I always loved how Mastodon showed a portrait image at the full width of the column.

Now it's got a big gap to the right when viewing on desktop.

This seems to be how all the other Twitter style platforms (including Bluesky) do it, so maybe there's a reason?

Anyone know?
