OH MY GOD THE CAPTION #CelebrityTraitors

Good day to log out and unplug. I’m not gonna do it, but it’s a good day for it.

@BenjiNaesen I'm sorry, I'm still on the #GCKUSS train

When is the "João Almeida wins La Vuelta" hype starting? 🇵🇹 #TDF2024

@AsdaServiceTeam hello, please can you update the opening hours for the Asda Bedminster store on your website and on Google Business? It says it's open until midnight, but we rocked up at 22.15 and the store was already closed. Thank you!

@BenjiNaesen #CavToTheTour!!! 🎉

MARK CAVENDISH WITH NUMBER 35! 💥 #TDF2024

@LegoLostAtSea @tizwiz45 Thanks for replying, that's super interesting. I'll be keeping an eye out when on the beaches in Weston to see if I do spot anything!

@lagringaeterna @tizwiz45 Not in Weston-super-Mare but across the Bristol Channel at beaches such as Aberthaw, and quite recently too. There are outline maps in our book showing where the Lego has washed up to date.

Another black Lego dragon has escaped its watery lair, 27 years after it plummeted into the ocean. It was discovered on Thursday by Hayley Hardstaff, who found it among shells at Portwrinkle beach in Cornwall. There were 33,941 Lego dragons inside the shipping container that fell off the Tokio Express in 1997, 33,427 black dragons and 514 green. Although many have been found in Cornwall, some drifted much further, washing up on the shores of the Netherlands. Many thanks to Hayley for giving us permission to share her picture.

@LegoLostAtSea @tizwiz45 Ah that's super exciting to hear. Would you be able to say – have any pieces been found as high up as Weston-super-Mare?

@lagringaeterna @tizwiz45 Not yet - it will form part of a scientific paper...

@LegoLostAtSea @tizwiz45 Hello! Is your map accessible online? I'd love to see it if so ☺️

@tizwiz45 Thank you - we'll add yours to the map too! Where do you keep it now?

@Elephantrop @TalkTalk Experiencing the same in BS3 this morning

@TalkTalk Morning. Looks like there’s an internet outage in BS3 area in Bristol. Just DM’d you.

Good morning, everyone🙂 We're here until 9pm, send us a tweet or DM if you need any help.

@DeanCruddace 😅

Ok Google, but should I call an ambulance or not?

@DeanCruddace I also liked the pun (it's going to be a shit show)

@DeanCruddace And, if not conflicting advice, then repeated advice: - You have abdominal pain - You have a pain or lump in your tummy

@thatkatieberry I've shared concerns about AI Overviews in the health space. The information is not "wrong", but it could be misleading as the health advice seems to shift depending on how you phrase the query: x.com/lagringaeterna…

Friends, I have a favor to ask: every time you see an AI answer that’s wrong, please screenshot and share it. Let others know. Right now is our best chance to keep AI summaries and answers from catching on and wiping out independent and accountable sources of information. Google has introduced AI answers globally starting today. I can’t begin to tell you the damage this is causing to websites, news sites, answer sites, and businesses as AI scrapes our content and makes it available without a site visit. There is NO verified data supporting Google’s claim, and a TON showing that businesses are already losing billions of dollars to this. Please don’t let what looks like a convenient way to save time feed a corporation determined to be the sole provider and gateway of everything you see and read online.

@lilyraynyc This post inspired me to get searching 😅 x.com/lagringaeterna…

* by I, I mean the SEO team at @torchbox I couldn't imagine a better bunch to be on this crazy train from SGE-ville to AI-town with 🚂 @emm_benn, @seoliviamae, @JessMackereth, @molliearogers & Eleanor

AI Overviews aren't available in the UK (yet), but they might be rolled out this year. I* have concerns about what this could mean for health information, not just from an SEO perspective but thinking about the impact on people's lives (YMYL!).
