Thanks. Hope yours gets sorted soon too!

Today: LINO. Is lino cutting not an art form in the US? #NYT #SpellingBee

They're both on the list to check, thanks - well, I've already done the test they suggest on the main toilet, and that seems OK. It's possible that it's outside the house, but they want us to rule out all the likely causes inside first.

I feel your pain: got an email from the water company earlier saying they think we have a small leak (small amounts of water are being used all night, apparently), but I haven't found it so far...

#OpenUniversity folk, it's not *our* OU, to save you a wasted click!

A photo of 3 long-tailed tits on a feeder in a snowy garden. One of them is missing its tail.

Not all long-tailed tits have a long tail though - this is one photographed in my garden a few years ago 😁

A friend of mine calls them lollipops

“Push (feat. Show Tyme, MeLa Machinko & Tower of Power)” by Pharoahe Monch #nowplaying #6music

Interesting grid, and apparently my 4th guess was the other one of two remaining possibilities.

Oh yeah, Wordle Bot, it's always a lucky guess when *I beat you*, isn't it??

Ooh, no, "Cronnyslug" (wtaf?) for Crawford beats that hands down 🤣

Still checking transcripts. Today's highlight is "Dr Mabee" for "Document B" 😳

Just watched Mickey 17. Really enjoyed it - entertaining and thought-provoking in equal measure. Have never really got the Robert Pattinson thing, but he was (doubly) great too.

Beat the Bot 🥳

'poor and edam-wapping' 🙄
Pioneered in Wapping 🤦🏻‍♀️

Examples in just one transcript - from a speaker with a very clear RP voice, so it's not as if a strong accent is causing the mistranscriptions: 'grandfather' instead of Grenfell; 'co-op and trough' instead of carpentry 🤨; 'PC' instead of QC; 'AIDS' instead of aides... The list goes on 🙄

Currently checking AI-generated transcripts against their source material. Please, if you care at all about learners/users who rely on transcripts, spend some of your resource on getting them proofread and edited, because I guarantee they will contain some absolute gibberish. #ProofreadingMatters

Better than yesterday, at least!
