Can you spot the fake? 👀

AI-generated images are getting really convincing these days, and spotting what’s real vs. fake is becoming a huge challenge.

Think you have the “AI eye”? Test your skills with CCDH’s new “Spot the Fake” game 👇

I've been lurking in crypts again. Big fan of this Lucio Fulci-ass worm-ridden skull on the casket of Frederick Michael, Count Palatine of Zweibrücken...

Cake report:

Tastes delicious.
Under risen.
Bit claggy.
Perhaps over-worked.

5/10.

Sad times.

My most-used words in 2025 were:

1. "scifi" (48×)
2. "lovely" (46×)
3. "fella" (46×)
4. "illustration" (40×)
5. "fucking" (39×)

Seems reasonable.

Hey.

It's #buyastrangerabook day tomorrow. As if you didn't know!

People buy people books for the joy of buying people books.

It's fun.

Join in as a giver or a receiver.

It's the greatest thing on Bluesky, so i've heard.

Not far from my hotel is the absurdly blingy 18th century Late Baroque private chapel Asamkirche, home to a golden skeleton brandishing scissors to cut the cord of life..!
