Struggling with social media at this point. Taking a break. The only place where I am not overwhelmed by politics is Pinterest.

Yes. Our rock paintings. San people have been here since the stone age.

Your house is older than my country. That is a mind-blowing thought for 5am

In the spirit of loathing everything Nazi Muskrat related - I can teach you some very descriptive afrikaans swear words.

Why does it feel like we are rearranging deck chairs in the Titanic?

As per my partner 'daai man is van sy gesiggie af'

Walvisbay Sunset.

Good morning, BlueSky! I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!

My setup might not be as fancy as most of the ones I've seen. But its mine.

You know what the real kicker is. I am not American. I am not even on the same continent. My Qs are not American either.

I'm over 40.. so I am with you there. But I can understand that people are upset that people are loosing their community.

Onward to the googles then.

My 10 buck pens write better than my Stainless steel Parker that was like 300bucks. (NAD not USD).

Now show us Gemini on Samaung phones?because that shit is irritating

I hear what you guys are saying about the Oscars, and how they're a celebration of life, and the show must go on, blah-blah-blah, so-on-and-so-forth. It all makes a degree of sense, but to me it still feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while LA burns.

You are not wrong. Lets leave it there

I could not even finish the Vulture article on Niel Gaiman. All I hope is that Sir Pterry did not know. Because if he did, and did nothing, that will effectively ruin my childhood.

Right? I just want to get through payrun every month and play Witcher 3 on weekends. Read my book. Maybe bake some muffins. Wash the curtains when I am on leave. I have had enough of 'living in unprecedented times'.

I am not American - so apart from the big players, I don't recognise a lot of your politicians. I don't know much about Hegseth but he gives the 'ick' as the kids say.

Chief MAGGAT/Q comes in an hour earlier to work - 'its quiet and I can get a lot of work done'. Procceeds to spend entire hour discussing latest Q talking points with my manager (who is also Q). Every single day. I come in an hour earlier and actually work.

You are entirely correct.

My nephew makes custom knives. He gets a piece of metal and goes from there.

Getting metal from ore is an entirely more intricate process. I worked on a zinc mine - the end product being a 5kg pure zinc ingot.The manpower and effort and electricity etc that went into that is mindblowing.

How does one make ink, for that matter?

Ursula K. LeGuin on technology

Probably one of the reasons why Tik Tok was banned - can't have the kids sharing ideas.

So, the Qs/MAGGATS in office are already stocking up on the horse dewormer.

And I just realised (with their talk about the L.A fires) how f*cking homophobic they are.

My response when they try to engage me in this kinda talk?
"I find it unprofessional to discuss politics and religion at work"
