My apologies to anyone else who’s old enough not to want to be reminded just how fucking long ago it was, but: today is the 41st anniversary of the release of Cloudbusting—so it must be time to tell you about Wilhelm Reich and his orgasmatron...

Hello to all the new followers via retro Starter Packs! My main #retrocomputing passion is for the #SAMCoupe, a British #Z80 based home computer released in December 1989 - It's over 33 years I've been developing for it! Since 2020 I've also made hardware for #ZXSpectrum and #RC2014 & compatibles.

A SAM Coupe computer and a ZX Spectrum, surrounded by hardware, software and magazines I've produced over the year, along with some of my original game development drawings.

Hello #Portfolioday! I'm Anine, an illustrator based in Scotland, and I'm looking for work - email me if you think I'd be a good fit for your project ✨ 💻 www.anineillustration.com 💌 anine@anineillustration.com (I also do private commissions, email me for that too)

A snippet from a larger piece showing a group of people digging up a big stone head and some smaller atrefacts. Some people are drawing. There are goats as well.

A drawing of some items arranged neatly: A tortoiseshell comb, a blue ribbon, a notebook with paper scraps, two keys, a sealed letter, a knife or letter opener (ornate), a majolica bottle with a blue bird design, a pencil with a pencil extender, some sweets, and a string with coins threaded onto it.

A drawing of some things you might find in a kitchen: a tea towel, a bundle of herbs (parsley, thyme, sage, bay), two wooden spoons, some butcher's twine, a cutting board, a big knife, a candle stub on a little plate, a ceramic jar, some cardamom pods, a garlic bulb (bisected).

Three small drawings: One of a shrine under a pine tree with a stone inside, one of a salamander on the forest floor, one of a coastal path with stone steps, two tall trees, stone columns and two hikers in the distance. The overall feel is very late summer to early autumn.

you can probably figure this out. trust me. you might possibly remember Allan Sherman's novelty song about Camp Granada. what's a trajectory for pronunciation after that? "what's with your foyer today?" might sound odd, but it wouldn't sound uncanny. some idiosyncratic part of Long Island, say.

I am a firm believer that an Englishman should always look slightly shabby on even the most formal of occasions. A tie shouldn't ever have a perfect knot, a shirt collar should always be a bit skew-whiff, everything needs to be a bit asymmetrical. If it looks like you've tried too hard, that's bad.

Out of a wreckage of a dying star, a new planet was born. And now that planet is evaporating like a comet, leaving a trail that whips around the star every 4 days. It's a remarkable story written in chemical clues. Nobody has ever seen anything like it before. 🧪🔭 esahubble.org/news/heic2613/

In this (not-to-scale) artist’s concept, a lower-mass star like the Sun (1) ages into a puffy red giant star (2) that eventually expels its outer envelope of gas and dust into space, which forms a disk around the bright cinder of its remaining core, called a white dwarf (3). A second-generation planet forms in this disk, orbiting the white dwarf and losing some of its atmosphere back onto the white dwarf’s surface (4).

Captured from within the open second-story pavilion of Rurikō-in in Yase, Kyoto, Japan, this photograph by Patrick Vierthaler presents a serene study in architectural geometry, shadow, and nature.

The composition is framed by dark, polished wooden pillars, balustrades, and overhanging timber eaves. To the right, a low, mirror-like black lacquer table sits upon woven tatami flooring, its immaculate surface reflecting the fiery scarlet and amber maple leaves (momiji) beyond the open veranda (engawa). On the left, a polished dark wooden hallway stretches toward the balustrade, echoing the vibrant autumn foliage outside in its subtle, glossy floor reflections. Through the rectangular openings formed by the posts and lintels, the view opens into a dense, forest-like canopy of maple branches, their dark, gnarled limbs tracing delicate lines across fields of crimson, gold, and lingering green leaves. The image awakens a tranquil, sensory atmosphere: the cool, smooth texture of hand-lacquered wood beneath bare feet, the soft, crisp scent of autumn mountain air mingling with tatami straw and damp cedar, the gentle rustle of falling maple leaves drifting down toward the moss garden below, and the profound, airless stillness of a secluded temple sanctuary nestled at the foot of Mount Hiei.

Da man jetzt bei Instagram Fotos in die Kommentare posten kann, hier ein Bild zur freien Verwendung. 😊

Der Cartoon spielt in einer Berufsberatung. Eine blonde Frau in einem rosa Oberteil sitzt mit einem Laptop hinter einem Schreibtisch, auf dem groß „BERUFSBERATUNG“ steht. Ihr gegenüber sitzt ein älterer, kahl werdender Mann mit Brille und braunem Pullover.
Die Beraterin sagt zu ihm:
„Sie haben ein sehr großes Mitteilungsbedürfnis und überhaupt keine Selbstzweifel! Was halten Sie von einer Ausbildung zum Internet-Troll?“
Dann ergänzt sie:
„Und es hätte den Vorteil, dass Sie bei Mama wohnen bleiben können.“
