Guillotine au Chocolat

Thank you. And yes, nature can be very interesting!

A pretty textured sky by sunset

The sky was pretty today, and I have a new phone so I took a picture to check if it’s ok. It seems quite ok.

I was now reading an essay by Jean-Paul Sartre on my iPad quite joyfully, and a popup came stating that my personal time had ended.
Immediately the joy was gone and I looked at the iPad as an anti-existentialist agent. Perhaps it's a Christian iPad, who knows.

Hmm, after some googling (or aiing, i don't know how to call it...), and admitting my total ignorance about him, it does seem like a good suggestion. I'll get reading it asap. Thank you for the suggestion!

Thank you for the suggestion. However, it seems to touch 2 subjects I'd rather avoid at the moment: psychology and atheism (for reasons that don't really matter now).
Of course, it's hard to avoid those subjects, but this book seems to be quite incisive about them. Maybe another time, thank you.

I'd like to read something philosophical and spiritual, maybe theological, but nothing academic as it should be light enough for some bedtime reading, but also not as light as something you'd find in the supermarket.

Any suggestions?

A Hot Wheels die cast car representing the Mazda 787b, in a top down view against a black textured surface.

Mazda 787b, the first Japanese Le Mans winner, here in Hot Wheels form!
I don't really like the rims (that you can't see in the photo), but otherwise I love it.

I checked which Fast and Furious movie was considered the best, and there seems to be a tie between 5 and 7, so I went and watched 7.
The actors are actually not bad, but the movie is terrible, a real piece of crap.

A Koenigsegg Jesko Hot Wheel.

A Sweedish car with a Sweedish name I can't pronounce in my kitchen.
I mean, I can't pronounce it anywhere, it just happens to be in my kitchen. Well, I put it there for the photo, yes, it didn't "happen to be" there by chance. Jesus.

I totally forgot it's Halloween today (we don't celebrate it that much in these parts) until the kids started to ring and I didn't have a single candy to give.

So I turned off the bell and pretended I'm not home. No need to spend all evening apologizing for not having candy.

So, the AI helped me troubleshoot the installation of Grim Dawn on an old gaming laptop (with a dreaded Optimus system) with Linux.
I'd never, ever solve it on my own or googling it. I'd just give up. The AI chewed through a ton of error logs and provided a working solution. Amazing stuff, really.

Just another story

Another day, another place.

I love this time of the year, the slight introspection that comes with the rain balances with the increasing proximity of the festivities. Yes, I know there's a lot of consuming and all, but I still love it.

Looks promising, following!

I only use the AI for serious investigation

What's your channel on YouTube?

Wow, I dig the raceway! Can't wait for more action!

I'm buying myself a Hot Wheels track soon enough, as these little things are way more fun in action than on a shelf!

A 92 Ford Mustang Hot Wheels, on the wheel of a 2010 Volkswagen Golf with some warning lights I probably should fix.

Impulse buy

I know AI has downsides, but it sure is amazing for troubleshooting linux stuff when you're a complete noob.

A Hot Wheels Shelby Cobra on an open laptop

I really like these little toys. Curiously, I couldn't care less about them when I was a kid, but I do enjoy them now.

Today I spotted a Portuguese staple (Madeira food) turned into a franchise in a mall. I've lost faith in humanity.

Just take the boy out of the picture! You look much better with your amazing black fur if you're alone.

I'll have to review the people I follow (all 10 of them!). There's way too much USA politics in my wall (is that what it's called?).
With all due respect to Americans, I'm just not interested in your politics. I mean, I do actually care a bit, but I'm in Bluesky for dog pictures and Hot Wheels.

Psychotherapy sometimes brings up some really nasty memories your brain took the extra mile to hide (and rightfully so...)

A racing Ford HT with a bunch of other cars in the background.
I was just playing a bit with contrast on very low light. I think it came out quite fine.

This green Ford GT is probably my favorite car, so I'll likely feature it more in my photos.

Ditching nostalgia. That was my key to get out of a depression.

A Carbonator!

There are strange and weird Hot Wheels. Then there's the Carbonator, a hybrid of a bottle and a bottle opener (and a car).
Carbonators have been around for a while. This is the 2026 version, as awesome as ever!

The cover of the Aldebaran book, "L'integrale" version, by Léo. Dargaud edition.

This is one of my favorite Franco Belgian bande desinée series. Yes, Léo did draw some awkward smiles and the (defunct) Humanoids version has quite the ridiculous censorship. But overall, the creatures are amazing and caught the imagination of young me quite profoundly!

#comics #art #sciart

Wow, I wasn't expecting this... While it always bothered me that they censored Dargaud's tits in Aldebaran, they did do quite a job spreading the magnificent Franco Belgian bande desinée all over the English speaking world. A shame indeed.

Absolutely amazing illustration!
