@kennysbookshop.bsky.social do you think you'll be getting this into stock when it comes out? I'm a big fan of murdle and this sounds great. www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ba...
Ah tá sé ann anois, grma 👍
@tg4.bsky.social an mbeidh cluiche Dé Domhnaigh idir Maigh Eo agus Monaghan ar fáil le féachaint air arís ar an seinnteoir?
I only found the man himself with some help from Wikipedia 😄 Fascinating painting.
This is great, I never knew about the app!
Niche content, but his story is SO interesting. Thinking of telling next season. A
Looking forward to it, especially 10 books you should read with @rickoshea.bsky.social and @hazelgaynor.bsky.social.

Wikipedia editors trying to fend off the onslaught of AI crap have crowdsourced some telltale signs of LLM-generated writing; it might be handy for editors and proofreaders generally. Thanks to @ellenrykers.com for pointing me to it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...
Feeling better about my commute this week because I can listen to this 😊
Screenshot of the first two questions in the survey - there's only six to answer. #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Ireland #Art
There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...
Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
I absolutely love this about the library, picking up books on spec. Often gems but if not, I just return guilt-free and onto the next book.
Oh thank you for this idea! I use the library all the time but never thought of looking for sheet music. And I just checked the catalogue and they have lots, I'm delighted 😊
It's so depressing to remember how good Google search used to be. I used the instructions here to hide that awful AI overview, it works pretty well tenbluelinks.org
The Scot from Paisley who photographed The Bear - way back in the 1880s! My bit on the great William Notman @markcousinsfilm.bsky.social @timadamswrites.bsky.social @englishsettlement.bsky.social @allanjenkins21.bsky.social observer.co.uk/culture/phot...
🆕 AESOP II: A dolphin and a seagull were hurling insults at each other 🐬
Is truth a set of facts? Might something fake be authentic? Can you contruct a truth out of lies? And why are unreliable narrators more compelling?

AI overviews are destroying search, destroying websites, and are easy to game. Really bleak stuff here: www.404media.co/googles-ai-i...
This is good for hiding the ai overview on Google - doesn't mean the search results are better beyond that but I was fed up scrolling quickly past the AI overview to get to proper Web pages. tenbluelinks.org

Cover of Jenny Odell's How to do nothing - resisting the attention economy.
Me too, beautiful and compelling. I also loved Jenny Odell's How to do nothing - resisting the attention economy. Also beautiful and meditative.
Greetings and good morning it’s the Wednesday farm rush hour with baby donkey Letty-Lou & mum Nutmeg
This podcast is wonderfully crafted, can't recommend it highly enough. Delighted the new episode is up!
📜 New AESOP I - Virtue Signaller or Fake News Merchant? 🏛️
Part One of Three: Stories have had a moral for as long as we've had stories. So why is Aesop, enduringly, one of the few moralists we accept can dish it out?

Let joy be unconfined!*
After weeks of sleepless battle that nearly broke me, with the story and fables of Aesop, a Nolanesque epic trilogy is coming atcha.
"Aesop, Part I" drops tomorrow, Sunday, lunchtime, with Part II and Part III the following two weekends.
Or should that be "unconfirmed"?
No advice that hasn't already been suggested but seeing sweet dogs, especially older ones and rescues, is one of the best things about bluesky 💓

Pun intended.
After a self-care break for both me and the contributors the slate is 12/7, 26/7, 9/8. Thank you for asking. A x
