Wouldn't it be cool if #ElonMusk used some of his fortune to set up a real life Thunderbirds / International rescue just like the 60s TV show... ??.

@carolduncan Under no circumstances. For many years I have stood by the correct spelling of nobber / nob / nob’ed etc. on this timeline. Other variations are not permitted.

Honestly - a few of the replies to this little tribute to engineering excellence exhibit a level of stupidity that suggests to me that it won’t be long before our spacecraft are the only thing that remains of our increasingly dim-witted civilisation. Until recently my guess has been that the answer to the Fermi Paradox might be found in biology - complex biological systems are rare. I’m increasingly of the view that the reason for The Great Silence is that civilisations are inevitably crushed by the weight of nobheads shortly after inventing the internet.

It never ceases to amaze me that a spacecraft launched in 1977 can be fixed remotely from Earth.

Meet the new iPad Pro: the thinnest product we’ve ever created, the most advanced display we’ve ever produced, with the incredible power of the M4 chip. Just imagine all the things it’ll be used to create.

Again proud of our learners for raising their concerns. Still time for leader of @SunderlandUK Cllr. Miller to talk to us about reversing the decision to DEFUND @WEAadulted but so far no proposed meeting accepted
The WEA@WEAadulted

Thanks to our Sunderland learners and tutors for their support @SunderlandUK - calling for #NEMCA to reverse its decision to focus adult education funding on colleges, which are alien environments for learners who left school with nothing but poor experiences and failure!

@duborges Aside from the spots, it's only a passing resemblance to a Dalmatian...

Prompt: The camera directly faces colorful buildings in burano italy. An adorable dalmation looks through a window on a building on the ground floor. Many people are walking and cycling along the canal streets in front of the buildings.

This video was generated by Sora. That's the new model by OpenAI. The most advanced text-to-video tool created so far. I'll share the videos here. Absolutely insane. Prompt: This close-up shot of a Victoria crowned pigeon showcases its striking blue plumage and red chest. Its crest is made of delicate, lacy feathers, while its eye is a striking red color. The bird’s head is tilted slightly to the side, giving the impression of it looking regal and majestic. The background is blurred, drawing attention to the bird’s striking appearance.

Fast asleep, snoring like pigs in a bowl of truffles & flatulating clouds of noxious methane capable of melting reinforced concrete.

@prigorodnoye @LuanHanratty Change the Moor's purpose one iota and it would be gone before you could blink. The Moor would be under concrete in a year. Diversity to the majority of property developers means having a MacDonald's outlet and a Burger King sharing the same car park.

@LuanHanratty I'd love to see it "rewilded" then it could truly be the lungs of the city and offset lots of carbon while allowing more diversity.

Newcastle is unique in having so much common land in the form of the Town Moor. Every town had a common for pasture and roaming, but these were sold off as urban centres grew. Through its preservation, we get a direct link going back to medieval times in the middle of the city.
