No-one asked why but I told them anyway

So happy that a) Cloudflare have unlimited free bandwidth and b) that Walkipedia wasn't built in PHP/MYSQL.

This new tool layers Wikipedia articles onto a map to make your half-hour walk more interesting trib.al/V4ph9Xf

Thanks to feedback from users LIKE YOU, this now has a sticky nav: www.neil-scott.com/walkipedia/

Due to Ed getting annoyed with me I have renamed this to Walkipedia: www.neil-scott.com/walkipedia/ As suggeted to me by @robbiegordon.bsky.social, the legend from @wonderfools.org

I have, I am embarrassed to say, gone semi-viral on X with my remix of Ed’s local wiki thing. www.neil-scott.com/localwiki/

Inspired by @edjefferson.com's excellent Local Wiki, I made a version where you can see where everything is on the map: www.neil-scott.com/localwiki/

New interview on The Crop with Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert: crop.photography/p/what-will-...

Carping feature images of AI’s boy supermen are on the rise as the tech escapes all guardrails. This frame, from an AI animation, opened a New Yorker story asking if Sam Altman can be trusted. Cracks in the Cult of the AI Supermen readingthepictures.media/p/the-cracks... Visual by David Szauder

Bluesky's image filters somehow managed to discern that this distant figure is actually naked. Not really Adult Content, but well done anyway!

Revisiting the last ten years of @getglasgowmoving.org crop.photography/p/activism-b...

Between 14-27 September, my photo of pigeons in front of a giant croissant will be in the southside of Glasgow as part of a poster campaign. The idea is to replace adverts with “something unusual, out of place, serendipitous, or thought-provoking hidden within the everyday” urbancoincidence.com

Women in a bakery trying to get catch a pigeon. They had left a trail of crumbs going out of the shop ... but it is a bakery so wasn't much of an inducement.

Read Thomas Love Peacock.

The Calton Weavers suffered a terrible injustice in life, and in death. Next year is the 240th anniversary of the killing. It's time to revoke the Freedom of the City which was bestowed on the officers who ordered the massacre and grant it to the weavers! Pass it on! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYbG...

“If you want to understand Instagram, you’d be better off going to a zoo or watching a nature documentary—anywhere you can see chimpanzees picking parasites out of each other’s fur, an activity we have replaced with clicking ‘like’ on each other’s posts.” crop.photography/p/stopping-t...

By the far the best piece I've read on the Arday affair, from Sam Kriss: samkriss.substack.com/p/the-carrio...

Lots of people by the Clyde. These were the only ones with eclipse glasses.

Apparently, it is ten years since I appeared on 15 to 1 (alas, Sandi Toksvig era, not William G Stewart).

Good to hear from @francismckee.bsky.social on this.

Blaes - the spent shale from early fossil fuel extraction - in use on Scotland's football training grounds.

New post! This one is about a visit to Jupiter Artland via the Niddrie Woman. crop.photography/p/niddrie-wo...

Seemingly a lot of responses from the Amish community in John's comments.

Between Glasgow and Edinburgh is Niddrie Woman. In 1976, the artist John Latham proposed reframing Scotland’s shale bings as ‘process sculptures’ or land art. www.tate.org.uk/research/tat...

While the HMRC website is bad, with Making Tax Digital I now need to choose from 122 different apps to file a quarterly return. Now imagining an article by @jamesmeek.bsky.social or @will-davies.bsky.social about the failures of neoliberalism.

The doors of culture shall be opened ... and sold off to the highest bidder. So depressing. www.bidspotter.co.uk/en-gb/auctio...

It has to be Gwendoline Riley (ie I haven’t read the others).
