Tosny Times 13 - "damage in the mind"

🐋 Welcome

🐨 Here are the things that I have done or discovered this week

3 Pieces of News 📰

1. Uganda is to close its schools to try to stop the spread of the terrible Ebola virus. So far out of 136 cases, there have been 53 deaths. This is a harrowing mortality rate 😔

2. The ambassador for Qatar's World Cup ⚽️ said that homosexuality is "damage in the mind". I still can't work out how Qatar 🇶🇦 got to host the World Cup.

3. Scientists have discovered an incredible 300-mile-long river beneath the Antarctic HERE. There is something about Antarctica 🗻 that is so interesting to me and not just the vivid story-telling. That land's enormous altitudes of frozen ice 🧊 are breathtaking.

What did I do? 🐶

1. Published an article to Medium on alternative apps 📱 you might want to try out HERE

2. Published another article to Medium on 3 new (to me) apps 📲 I have been testing HERE

3. Published a 3rd article of the week to Medium about 4 websites 🖥 that help me earn on the internet HERE

What did I discover? 💡

1. Some incredible examples of what the AI 🤖 generator Midjourney can achieve now HERE. It has really come along nicely in the past few months and examples of isometric art, pixel art and just people 🤷‍♂️, in general, show amazing results from oldboygone on Reddit.

2. A great article looking at off-grid house hunting in Yorkshire HERE. For those not familiar with the UK, Yorkshire has some of the most beautiful scenery 🦌 in England. With the idea of off-grid or isolated living appealing to more people, these kinds of things will only become more common.

3. That The Watcher on Netflix 📺, is actually a story I already knew about. I had to restrain what I already knew but after finishing what I think was a well-made series, I will have to start the mandatory process of comparing the show to the real story and be grumpy at every moment of creative license.

Property Focus 🏡

5-bedroom townhouse in Bath, UK which was formerly a commercial unit and still looks that way on the inside for £750,000. An interesting project for someone who can afford it in my favourite city.
