Sent to me by a friend: Someone started running billboard ads for Omarchy in Copenhagen - "Beautiful, fun Linux with agents from DHH". What timeline is this.

Got a new art book today, and even my cat loves John Blanche.

To quote a friend: "Academic-ish non fiction authors are some of the saltiest and funniest people alive". I agree.

Did half a dozen interviews with potential hires today. It took me until the last one to realize I was using a Waifu-cup I gifted to a report as a physical manifestation of shitposting months back throughout the day. Well, fuck.

Had a sneezing fit while my cat was laying on my leg, dozing. Someone is personally offended by my existence.
A close-up shot of the face of a cat with a fur that's a mixture of different browns, laying between an upper leg and the back of a couch, looking at the camera with very tired eyes.

Imagine you are a soldier, advancing behind the cover of your own tank .. only to get absolutely decked by an ejected shell casing of said tank.

Currently reading this while it has 40 degrees in my city, a comparable temperature to the battlefields of Tunisia. Except I'm rested, healthy, well-fed, not at war, in front of a fan blasting my face. And I'm still dying of the heat. Can't imagine how horrible fighting in such climate must be.

One of my niche hobbies is collecting small snippets from old comics for use as reaction images with my friends. Beware the UFO CULTS!
An image in the style of American comics of the 1950ies and 1960ies of a man staring at another man while flashes come out of his eyes with a text bubble on top of the image saying "UFO CULTS MAY PRACTICE FORMS OF HYPONOTISM OR BRAIN-WASHING".

So .. if all of the authors out there could stop writing about anything related to Russia, I would deeply appreciate it. I can't keep up. This is my collection of unread books that I already own, and there are more out there that I don't. Please stop, I am begging you.

When your owner reads weird books again so you're using the chance to educate yourself on the military tactics of Daesh in Iraq, Syria, Libya and Egypt.

How it feels standing next to my partner while she introduces me to someone.
The image depicts a bile troll from the videogame Warhamer Vermintide II. It shows a large, monstrous humanoid creature standing in a dim, candle-lit stone chamber. It has pale, rough skin, distorted facial features, and prominent tusks. Skulls hang from its armor and belt, giving it a grim, ritualistic appearance. The scene has a dark fantasy or dungeon-like atmosphere, with scattered bones and candles illuminating the creature from below.

Having outgoing traffic on port 25 blocked for new customers: Okay. I understand the rationale, although it is annoying for me. But having to *call* customer support to get it unlocked .. come on.

To post something that isn't related to the train into the abyss (aka "current world events"): Tried my hand at painting flames with a "blended" transition for the first time. Not perfect, especially because I thinned the colors too runny, but .. it's a start!

This image applies to cats as well. No my dear cat, you can't drink from the bowl of water I use for washing my brushes. Please use the dedicated drinking bowl you have that I replenish with fresh water regularly, only for you to ignore it.
