A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans.

Last year I did a Middle Aged Man Gift Guide and Advice Thread on Mastodon.
Middle Aged Men are difficult to think of gifts for- it is why there are so many jokes about just getting them socks.
But even Middle Aged Men have gift dreams- even if they don’t know what they are themselves.
I'll help

This reminds me of this respectful photo at the history festival when local historical figure James Toller, the giant of Eynesbury, stopped to show respect when the queen died.

Really REALLY important that everyone who enjoys #SpéirGhorm goes through these settings and toggles the switch to enable 'rude' posts. Tis a rare one of us who doesn't have a colourful tongue.
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

It's not a grassroots working class movement.

Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

Started watching this late last night and finished it this morning. Reminding me how much distraction is used daily so that our attention has always been elsewhere. I knew none of this nor cared. Our press is the absolute pits.

When was the last time you had to watch TV? No pause facility, no apps? Having to watch the ad breaks? It’s been soooo long for me that I hadn’t realised quite how awful it is. The further up the channel numbers you go the older the demographic it seems. The overall message is dying and death.(cont)

It’s Friday & I’m pleased to announce that for the Half Man Half Biscuit fan who thinks they have everything,a new HMHB map of the UK has arrived with over 200 locations mentioned in their inimitable lyrics. Something for the weekend? Oh, yes, I think so. xx

Every year I lament the lack of something like this here where I live. Cambridgeshire is nice but boring as hell. Work on a cultural strategy got shelved by the new mayor of the combined authority which is a mistake. The new focus is heritage and tourism. Without supporting culture, that won’t work.
Culture Night is back for its 20th edition, with more than 1,700 free events taking place across the country.

@curatorkate.bsky.social might give this a go. Also, if you’re on YouTube look for Bobby Fingers. You’ll be taken on a journey that’s for sure!
Go watch this documentary. 10/10 highly recommend. Unexpected, interesting, funny, charming, full of character, and full of characters. AND it’s all on YouTube without ads cos the two gorgeous brothers who made it, made it just for the joy of it. Watch it.
“How did you cut your finger so badly Panti?!”
“Oh I was mincing (shut up!) garlic while also *totally* engrossed in this unexpectedly engrossing and really fun documentary about two adorable stoner straight guys getting involved in the surprisingly competitive world of competitive bird watching”

Hi guys, did you already know there are competitions for window tinting? With better commentators than most of the tennis matches I’ve watched on ESPN? (Low bar I know)

I’ve been advised this week that I should watch Gilmore Girls so that’s the plan, oh and ‘Over the Garden Wall’ (which I’ve seen before but will watch again)
While the original series ended in 2007, Gilmore Girls has become a staple watch in the years since it originally aired – especially as Autumn creeps in.
So, time to test your knowledge on all things Stars Hallow...
