This is an intro to a rather cool new AI art generating system, I've been using Promptus to create things like this image. While I don't think AI art will replace human artists for proper art, it's great for letting us non-artists play with creativity. youtu.be/Dsk3UHhnsQY?...

The weekend just past, Alice and I visited the stunning Wightwick Manor near Wolverinehampton. Utterly gorgeous Victorian half-timbeted fantasy, superbly well done. www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/birmin...

The vast space of the great parlour, a medieval style great hall, with gorgeous woodwork and stained glass windows. The half timbered exterior, stunning Victorian craftwork. Me standing on the great hall gallery. The very cosy fireplace in the house library.

Spotted "Mumsnet" trending on the deadbird site. Transphobia again? Nah, that's so last year. Now it's full on eugenics against disabled kids getting an education.
A post and reply, from the deadbird site, in which a Mumsnet user suggests that children with special needs should not be educated because they're never going to work and it costs a lot of money to teach them. This is of course a form of eugenics and is rightly being called out as such.

Paws for thought.
Two beautiful cat paws, one front and one back, of a sleeping black and white cat.

Can't help but be amused by what's trending over on the deadbird site at the moment. So the other three are specific examples of the first one?
The "What's Happening" list from what used to be Twitter at the moment, showing, in order: "Vermin", "Sycamore Gap", "Suella", and "Napoleon".

Thanks! Agree with you about a brilliant time of year for photography, over the years I've got some stunning Autumn images. NMA put it best, "Everything is beautiful, because everything is dying." These were taken at Hardcastle Crags with Alice in 2015.

I love walking at Temple Newsam in the mornings, and on Monday it was truly atmospheric, the entire estate shrouded in the fog that occupied all of Leeds for most of the day.
Temple Newsam House, a great brick-built Elizabethan manor, in the fog. The lakes at Temple Newsam, surrounded by mist-shrouded trees. The Avenue, an arrow straight roadway through the fog-shrouded woodland at Temple Newsam. A spider's web in a metal gate, with water droplets condensed onto the silk, and one of the house's bay windows in soft-focus behind.

Morningcat. ^..^
A close up side view of my cat Midnight's face and whiskers with one eye visible. My cat Midnight looking up towards the camera. A photograph of my cat and I. A drawing of a young Goth woman wearing a black dress with a skull decoration, in a graveyard, surrounded by black cats, with a caption "all the best souls I know belong to cats".

There need to be more #catfeets on this platform. Here are Midnight's pretty paws.
Cute cat paws, cat standing on a printer. Cute cat paws, cat standing on a printer. My cat Midnight, black and white, standing on a printer.
