A daffodil in bloom pointing downwards in focus, while in the background a small spaniel dog looks like it's about to pounce on it. She actually didn't, she's was heading to me and not the flower!

When men's workload is automated, it's genius; when women's workload is automated it's a character flaw and morally questionable.

My brother, we had to explain a 1/3 pound burger was bigger than a quarter pound burger and still failed

You've answered a long-standing question of mine with the second part, something I guess I was too lazy to search about!

"Why do you want to have a 1970s music pavilion at the Shakespeare festival?"

"It features wine made by the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party!"

"But how does that make it anything to do with Shakespeare?"

"Mao is the vintner of our disco tent!"

Today I want to talk about Jess’ Rule and Martha’s Rule, two new initiatives across NHS England that I think are really important and you should know about.
Tl;dr: if your symptoms are not improving or getting worse, at home or in hospital, you have the right and Drs the responsibility to review.

A snail! It's translucent and almost as long as from the tip of your finger to the base of your palm. A brown shell sits on the middle of its body as it moves across the top of a stone wall.

A snail similar to the previous one and is moving on the same bit of wall. It's shorter though, maybe the length of a long finger. The shell is relatively large and takes up most of the back. Near the head you can see brown markings. There's grass behind the edge of the wall that's spilling on to the surface.

So I took these photos last night...

Off-roading in our chalk streams destroys our natural environment and kills wildlife.

The Conservative-run Hampshire County Council must listen and take decisive action.

I secured a meeting with the Minister to discuss ways to ensure this ecological vandalism is stopped for good.

I understand what these words mean when these words get put together but I don't understand how these words could possibly be together.

If you're a vegan it is okay to eat a comet but not so much an asteroid because they're a little meteor

You know it's a test match when you see "Richa Ghosh 11 (41)" because otherwise it's more likely to be the other way around! #AusVInd #cricket

More importantly, when a bug gets caught, how does one remove *only that bug* from the codebase and keep the same functionality?

"Hey agent, built me another version of XYZ app but this time don't cut off the first three letters of the username by mistake" isn't a valid prompt (I think)

"Alexander Armstrong travels to India to find a land of contrasts where the traditional and modern sit side by side"

Could he have just not gone to YouTube like the rest of the non-Indian world? Yet another zero charisma personality gets paid for this?

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, β€œI do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

There used to be an old sign by the path, warning passers-by of the local sleeping willow, which would trap the unwary with fatigue, engulf them while they slept, and release them a hundred years later.

There was a new sign:

"This sleeping willow is full."

And a map of other locations to try.
