I had some #limerick fun with the #prompt word #school:

An old boor who believes that he's hot
Is considered decidedly NOT.
He's called "too cool for school"
And an "arrogant fool
With less charm than your average bot."

Story prompt: magic is real, and involves exploiting bugs in the Universe’s handling of unusual or unexpected actions/combinations of materials. The reason why magic is rare now is because most of the bugs have been patched. Magicians need to be careful when using magic, because if they draw too much attention, the bug might get fixed.

Just for fun, here is a random photo from my collection of beautiful places lost in time. Would you like to hear its story? Did something catch your eye? Ask me a question in the comments!

A user of my #Moodle #AIText question type (free text with #LLM feedback) was telling me how they supplied as much as possible of the answers in the #prompt to improve the quality of responses. This reminded me that no matter how interested I am in how my code is used, there is no substitute for it being used “in anger” by a real #teacher.

(*anger is used as a metaphor in this context, I prefer it if teachers are not actually angry using my plugins)

#Prompt: #Progenitor
#BattleOfSedgemoor #MonmouthRebellion #FamilyTree #History #Histodon

Researching my family tree,
I found out a very strange thing.
An old progenitor to me,
Once tried to overthrow the king.

[I found out that a direct ancestor of mine was involved in the Monmouth Rebellion and fought at the Battle of Sedgemoor in an attempt to overthrow James II]

To pick beans from poo?

If you really wish
Not to use "purple",
Do not use
Indigo, it can
Go away!
Off, damned indigo!

Crickets chirp bye to the sun
An indigo sky

Walls, I guess. Oh, John...
