Who says games are for kids? Probably the same guys who say comics and cartoons are for kids... Well I guess this 50 something father of two, artist, gamer, Content creator, comic reading, movie loving and general all round nerd didn't get the memo! ๐Ÿ˜œ

Put some wing sculptures up to catch my Philips Ambilight glow!

I love the way that the feather's details catch the colour highlights and the shadow that they cast up the wall...

I know it's not exactly exciting, but they absolutely transforms the room! ๐Ÿ˜š๐Ÿ‘Œ

I think that the European name change may be due to a Danish zoo, carrying the Zootopia brand name.

But I still believe that it's because Zootopia is a play on the word 'Utopia'...

Such 'Perfect world' ideology has been drained from our conceptual thoughts over the past few generations here! ๐Ÿคฃ

Birmingham  Black Sabbath mural and Ozzy exhibition.
Birmingham Black Sabbath mural and Ozzy exhibition. YouTube video by RetroSpexx

I have to admit, The Ozzy tribute at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery got me quite emotional when I went last year, also the Crown Pub and bridge mural were touching!

I'm thinking of going back again, since they've extended the exhibition.

I hope that you both got home safely.

Public transport is getting worse all over the country, IMO.

Here in Northampton, due to driver shortages, we often have cancelled busses and delays, and it sucks! ๐Ÿคฌ

I feel that there's almost a third...

The ones who genuinely would like to make a difference, but also feel as though they don't belong here at all, and that the world might be a better place without them in it.

Technically, that places them in the first camp, but there is a subtle difference.

I knew it was Bub and Bob, so I guess I now know what Bob is short for?!

I am now curious however, as to what Bub's real name is?

(Guessing Bublun!)

It's weirdly mood dependant for me.

I love a deep pan when I'm feeling low and need some comfort food, stuffed crust when I'm drinking, and I would choose italian style thin and crispy or a calzone in a restaurant.

All pizza is god tier food!

And, YES, I am also pineapple on pizza advocate!

We are living in scary times.

Sitting on the precipice of something absolutely groudbreaking whilst at the same time potentially devastating.

And, as a public, we have no choice in any of it.

Forced to just sit and watch as humanity races headlong towards its potential demise.

It's worrying! ๐Ÿฅบ

That might sound like science fiction, and I don't mean it in a Terminator sense.

But the inevitable job losses and finilancial/economical instability caused by AGI could lead to severe unrest and possible violence, if not governed correctly.

And I do not trust out world leaders to get this right.

I'm genuinely terrified about humanity's future.

Sure, AI can be used to help us in many ways right now, and that's very convenient for those sinking billions into striving for AGI, because it keeps the masses distracted from just how dangerous it'll almost certainly become if/when they succeed!
