I think someone in my street doesn't appreciate how my upstairs neighbours park their bikes, so decided to passive-aggressively park them in front of *my* door.
View from a doorway to outside; three bikes are parked in front of it (with some room to walk out)

#kermit #phone #meme
Image of Kermit the Frog sitting in an office watching a smartphone in his hand, smirking (my interpretation). The image is captioned "Me waiting for my phone to stop ringing because I don't use it for that.

Interessant is ook de vertaling hier op Mastodon. Ik heb geen idee hoe die van "probleemoplosseks" tot de vertaling "Problem solvent" komt. (For English readers: "probleemoplosseks" should translate to "problem solving sex", unless there is some obscure meaning […] [Original post on mstdn.social]
Screenshot of an automated translation of the previous toot: "Nice suggestion of LibreOffice as spelling correction for problem solvers: Problem solvent." (for the reader, the word "probleemoplosseks" should translate to "problem solving sex")

Mooie suggestie van LibreOffice als spellingcorrectie voor probleemoplossers: probleemoplosseks.
Screenshot van een testfragment in een tekstverwerker. Het woord "probleemoplossers" is rood onderlijnd. Een popup toon vier alternatieven: "probleemoplossets", "probleemoplosseks", "probleemoplossen" en "vervoersprobleem". Het woord "probleemoplosseks" is met de hand omcirkeld (in rood).

Yesterday, I was gifted this by a good friend. She really knows me well :)
A rectangular ceramic tile, white glazed, with the handwritten text "UGH. PEOPLE." in black. The tile is on a wooden surface.

My only concession to Koningsdag (Kingsday) today: an orange tompouce.
A picture of a desk with a plate with an orange tompouce and a fork. On the background there are two computer monitors, a keyboard and mouse. Also shown is needlepoint artwork with the text "Fuck it" and a (Effin' Birds) mug with the text "I bet this problem will go away if we have more fucking meetings" next to a black and white image of a duck (I think).

I guess some AI scraper has found my Firebird list archive on AWS...
Image of a stacked bar chart (from AWS). The title is "Cost breakdown", it's grouped by source. It shows stacks from April 2025 - September 2025. For April - Juli, the cost is just below $1.00, for Augusts around $1.50, and for September around $9.00. Majority of the cost is for Amazon Simple Storage Service, the remainder is for Tax.

Perfect Effin' Birds alignment in my timeline from @effinbirds and @birdfeed
Two post by Effin' Birds (from different accounts). The first was posted by @effinbirds@mastodon.social and is marked 9 hours ago and its original alt text is "A painting of a bird next to the words "I didn't think I'd ever see shit this spectacularly dumb"". The bird looks down, towards the second post.

The second post was by @birdfeed@effinbirds.social and is marked 15 hours ago, no original alt text, but it shows a painting of a bird (maybe a Toucan?) with a large yellow beak, black feathers on its head and back, wings and tail. Its eyes are surrounded by red, and has orange an yellow feathers towards its belly, the belly is red. The bird is looking up (towards the first post). Next to the painting is the text "okay. well fuck that".
