@michaelwhittle @webflow Looks like it was actually AWS, but mine all seems to be up again.

Is @webflow down?

When a birder starts running… instagram.com/reel/CrTy_KjKK… Spent some @bindobirding time in Kirstenbosch with Dave Winter, who has seen up to 12 raptors in one day there!

‘Beyoncé as chess pieces’

Favourite #midjourney ai generated images from past few days. ‘A young and and old man debating computer interface designs.’

‘Stevie Wonder as chess pieces’

This one is interesting as I made typo… ‘Earth Vader bronze by Umberto Boccioni’

Also great that you can just use emoticons. ‘Bauhaus 🤖’

Skylines of Durban, Pretoria, Bloemfontein, Johannesburg.

‘Little boy missing his mother’ by some famous photographers - Ansel Adams, Jeff Wall, Roger Ballen, Dorothea Lange.

‘Darth Vader by Picasso, Dali, Rothko and Pollock’

Including some of the starting options and variants. ‘Julius the baboon eating peanuts with Jesus’

‘Labeled map of a psychedelic cape point nature reserve with regional borders in the style of the voynich manuscript’

Most emerged just from describing things I encountered in reality, including conversations. ‘A credit card in a fantastical world’

‘Baboon listening in on a bed time story’

Most compositions feel surprisingly intentional. ‘The baboon stole the paintball gun’

What most of this week felt like looking through binoculars with @bindobirding #flocktomarion
