Already aggravated by 'X'...

@JimBeattie18 It's at the Yale museum with a handful of other Hoppers. Never quite known what to make of it.

@JimBeattie18 Inspired no doubt to some degree by David Hockney, who recently passed-away.

@Art93539166 If that's a van Gogh then I'm a small packet of frotted wulberries.

@Glastomichelle Can't believe someone built a fortified stone tower right behind the squirrel you were trying to photograph.

@historigins It's not AI. I checked pretty extensively. It was later colorised and it's seeming high-resolution gives it an AI-feel, but the original image was indeed taken by Joh Topham on September 3rd 1940 in Kent, England and can be found in many other places.

Certified genuine ✅

@JamesMelville Without more AI we'll have to go back to reading wikipedia and interacting with people.

And that's like, so 2018.

@Helen_Whately @Jacob_Rees_Mogg Forgive me, but 'Conservatives will... {whatever sounds plausible and popular at any given moment}' just isn't going to cut it any more.

36 years of non-stop incompetence and betrayals and now you're here lip-syncing to Reform songs in an undiginified act of vote-gleaning.

[Richard Bateman @RichardBatemanX]

@YesterdaysBrit1 Yes. I remember it well. Four red phone boxes at the same spot in every town and a local baker called 'LOCAL BAKER'.

Yes is was a better time. It breaks my heart to see how the British social fabric has been torn apart.

But this is an AI monetisation lie.

Very un-British.

@JamesMelville Not many votes for Bradford so far...

@bo66ie29 It looked so clear, so detailed, so colourful, so staged that I assumed it was AI. One of those 'look how we used to be!' nostalgia pictures that are all over social media at the moment.

But it's really-real. LGI. 1956. Jack Esten. A different time and place and value system.

[Richard Bateman @RichardBatemanX]

@thesundaysport Looks like a mashup of Peter Stringfellow and Gollum.

[Richard Bateman @RichardBatemanX]

@AwayDaysTips That's genuinely beautiful. But in a way that's all that's left of the Manchester City we all grew up with. I look at this and feel bad for the fans of clubs that get 'purchased' by some bored oligarch with dirty fingertips and turned into a subbuteo set.

@GracchusTalius @GamewithDave I loved that version!

Peaked for me at Civ IV.

Been downhill since...

@TheFigen_ Van gogh never said this. He was simply quoting a line from Émile Zola’s 1883 novel Au Bonheur des Dames in a letter he wrote to his brother.

[Richard Bateman @RichardBatemanX]

@QuoteJung Answer: None.

Jung never said or wrote this.

[Richard Bateman @RichardBatemanX]

@QuoteJung From which of Carl Jung's published works or writings was this quote taken?
