IT'S ALIVE!

This was posted automatically from @manyfold when I uploaded a new model on my personal instance.

Manyfold is now a real part of the Fediverse!

A screenshot of a post in a Mastodon feed. The text reads: > I've just added a new model: “Hello Fediverse, this is Manyfold” #fediverse #activitypub Included is an image preview, with the "hello this is dog" meme, where a human arm holds a telephone next to a large black dog's head.

Spotted at my local leisure centre, in the car park, this wonderful piece of whimsy…

A small sign, such as you might get in an art gallery, that reads: Artist: F. Prefect (b. 1955) Piece: Life, The Universe & Everything 2016 Steel, Paint H.O.M.A Horsham Objects of Modern Art Sponsored by HEX This triptych of columns was created in 2016 to mark the 15th anniversary of the untimely passing of Douglas Adams and situated so as to blend into the benign setting of a leisure centre car park. The eponymously named installation, an homage to the 3rd book in the Hitchhikers series, has the structures of 'Life and Everything' standing aside column number '42' as the "Universe'. Each column, like a vertical time capsule, holds a carefully wrapped towel, six packets of salted peanuts and the recipe for a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. A much love mile marker for the park joggers of Golgafrincham the trio of columns, in Shaftspole's style, is a firm favourite for humans and other forms of alien life that find themselves stranded on the planet. Much loved apart of course by the Vogons, they hate it. "The Answer to the Great Question. Of Life, the Universe and Everything. Is. Forty-two,' said Deep Thought with infinite majesty and calm." Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The full installation; three vertical tubes/pipes/poles in a car park, with the maintenance number 42 on the central one.

When a musician’s name came up suddenly with a sad face in our casual slack, it used to mean they’d died. Now it means they’ve started talking about NFTs.
