The back of a baby’s head reaching out to a fridge with coloured magnetic letters on it. There’s a jumble of letters but the ride word C u N T is spelt out. She is just placing the T at the end.

Just found my 1 year old making rude words on the fridge πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I think unless you’re a person that replies on alt text then your opinion doesn’t count. AI generated alt text is still incredibly inaccurate in 2024.

A table of white plates and red wine, on the plates is a venison dish. There’s a waitress explaining the wine at the end of the table.

I guess BlueSky is the one for the food shots.

Treated to a 9 course meal at Restaurant Story this evening with some incredible accessibility company this evening.

I’m humbled and stuffed.

BlueSky feels a bit like just shouting at a cloud at the moment. No one is reading this, and no one cares, right? Yeah Karl.

Always reminds me of that cult leader in the Simpsons.
