Ok, that’s it… I’m installing Linux

Dozens of identical pop up alerts fill the screen from “Program Compatibility Assistant”

The message in the alert reads,
“This app can't run on this device
ASUS Dial Control Panel Toolkit
ASUSTek COMPUTER INC.
This app can't run because it causes security or performance issues on Windows. A new version may be available. Check with your software provider for an updated version that runs on this version of Windows.” With two option “Learn more” and “cancel.”

The bottom of the screen has two task bars filled with yellow alert icons.

"Top 1% Commenter" flair on reddit should be worn like a badge of shame. Unless you are that guy who is genuinely helpful in a niche subreddit.

No newts from this past weekend’s hike but I did see a couple of salamanders. I don’t have a good ID on this one so if you know let me know! (Southwest PA) #salamander #animals #wildlife #photography #naturalist #naturephotography #herps #hiking #pennsylvania #woodland

A little, black salamander on a leaf on top of a slab of bark on the ground.

once my wedding is finally over I can devote the portion of my brain that has been ruminating on wedding planning to other endeavors like how to make cheez-it ice cream

it's funny to me as someone who works on a lot of corporate branding projects that companies are throwing out brand standards in favor of AI design because they can't account for accuracy. close enough is only good enough because that's the best the computer can do.

Adobe updated Photoshop to include an AI editing assistant. You can toggle between “AI Assisted” and “Pro Editor” modes. Which is a pretty damning indictment on the type of user using AI imo. The “Pro Editor” is just the normal Photoshop interface.

Who stayed up to watch the eclipse? I shot this in my backyard despite all my neighbors flood lights blasting my corneas out. #moon #lunareclipse #astronomy #astrophotography #space #photography

Shot of the moon during a partial (96%) lunar eclipse. This was taken shortly after the maximum eclipse. The top of the moon is bright white while the bottom portion is a rusty red.

I know I am late to the party but Magdalena Bay's Imaginal Disk is one of the best albums I've listened to in a long time. A rare album that keeps delivering track after track. This is an all-time great for me.

Here are three photos I took over the past weekend that I like together. They display better on Tumblr so that's why I am linking there.

Got back from my bachelor party weekend and got to do all the cool bachelor party things like hanging with my buds, skipping stones along Lake Erie, buying Pokémon cards, and, most importantly, seeing a newt. #newt #photography #redeft #wildlife #animals #amphibian #macrophotography

A red eft, the terrestrial stage of the Eastern Spotted Newt, crawls on top of fallen leaves on the ground.

I was heading to Kennywood the other day and there was a turkey in the middle of an intersection near the bridge. I thought this was a funny one off-thing but this turkey has been hanging out there trying to fight cars for weeks!

it’s always a bummer when a youtuber is like “I had a cool idea for a project but it doesn’t fit with my current format and I can’t risk upsetting the algorithm gods or else it’s over for me.”

I am rounding out my 10th year as a full-time freelancer and my biggest feeling right now is that I don't want to make things for other people anymore. I just want to make things for myself.

the haunting feeling when you close out 5 tabs that are just your inbox and then you look over to your other monitor and there is yet another window with your email open this is all to say your emails are not finding me well today

When I die I'd like to be turned into 40-80 smooth stones so my loved ones can hurl them through the windows of my enemies.

Screenshot of an ad on Reddit from a company called Parting Stone. Text reads, "Transform ashes into 40-80 smooth stones your family can hold and share." Picture is of hands holding three smooth, white stones above a pile of more of these stones on a wooden table.

I sincerely believe using Generative AI diminishes the spark of light inside your soul. You are worse off as a human being for using it.

Dylan Mirales @realistic.dog · 25/07/2026

Just saw someone on facebook using AI to animate photos of someone who was recently murdered to peddle their shitty click farm. Generative AI is truly depraved technology.

I need to rank every PA turnpike rest stop. I’ve been to nearly all of them at this point.

Dylan Mirales @realistic.dog · 19/07/2026

You hate to roll up to a rest stop after a long time on the road and the only lunch/dinner option is a Roy Rogers. A true garbage tier fast food establishment. High school cafeteria tasting burgers. Still, I’d rather eat there than a Subway.
