I have to admit all the US cults look and sound the same to me. Even the fictional ones. Well OK especially the fictional ones.

I assure you they wake up every single day and choose violence. They hate everything. They hate other birds, other animals, each other, and very specifically they hate you. Just the most vicious petty little aggressive shits ever. Good job they're so tiny.

Very pretty though. We have 3 feeders.

BTW this is a picture off Wikipedia. I can't see the owls, because they are being tricksy owls as usual, I can only hear them.

A barred owl - it has brown and white horizontal stripes all over its wings and body, a yellow beak, and a large round face and eyes with no obvious ears.

It is 4pm, the sun hasn't set yet, and I hear barred owls courting. Looks like we'll get baby owls again this year. Look out squirrels!

gay hockey game update: merging models is too hard so I'm doing a weird turtle hack where he nests himself inside the hockey player "shell" and shrinks all his bones #screenshotsaturday

I remember the fuss a few years ago when a character in Last Of Us (I think?) took their T-shirt off, and it looked perfect and realistic and all the graphics coders & animators in the room had their jaws on the floor while everybody else was like "OK he took his shirt off, and?" Shit's hard, yo.

Displaying Team USA Olympic figure skater Ilia Malnin on a CRT brings out a lot of the artist-intended details that get lost with pure pixels, this is why so many of us retain vintage hardware

The Caveman’s Lament
Β 
me think about her when sun rises
me think about her when sun sets
me say to her how much me love her
she tell me love invent not yet
Β 
me make cave all warm and cosy
me lie bearskin on cave floor
me play song of love on bone flute
she choose cave of Tim next door
Β 
me no more go out hunt mammoth
me throw spear too short or long
me sit in cave me paint her pictureΒ 
she say me got perspective wrong
Β 
me cook meal to show me love her β€”
diplodocus with fried beans β€”
she say food anachronistic
me not know what this means
Β 
stone age mighty hard for lovers
yet rub two flints look what you get
small sparks lead to big inferno
but she say love invent not yet


homo unrequitus

To mark Valentine’s Day, here is what is believed to be the world’s oldest surviving love poem, written 1.5 million years ago by one of our earliest ancestors, homo unrequitus.
