Why are the melting Simpsons picture and the Santa(?) drawing so high up the wall? 🤔

Cropped version of photo from an old house, with what appears to be a 'The Simpsons' poster - except the details are kinda smooshed together so they look like yellow blobs.

I'm guessing this is an artifact from the photo being upscaled or converted from a fisheye-lens image?

Yeah, it seems like it is more of a recent variation, but it's certainly a thing people are known say - probably because it sounds like a better-armed proactive version of "I'm rooting for you" idioms.thefreedictionary.com/gunning+for

I'm only just realising that "gunning for" someone could be seen as adversarial! Without context, I'd read "I'm gunning for you" as supportive (i.e. "I've got your back") "I'm gunning for your job," not so much.

Have you seen Logical Increments? www.logicalincrements.com They rank sets of components in levels of fanciness, so you can maybe see how OK your GPU is? I visit when I try to work out what the state of the art is these days- it's handy for knowing what is overkill, and what is just normal now.

They give 5% back as Uber Credit, which is maybe worth it if you're making an expensive journey. It does incentivise coming back though, which is the point! Their app is more fiddly than others I've tried though

For me, it's just that they give some money back - otherwise I wouldn't bother 🤷‍♂️

I've got a huge pile of art to ink up, so I thought I'd get in the zone by doing one of my occasional "just for fun" pages... and to get some of that weird imagery out of my head and onto the paper. One day I'm going to collect all these in a book.
