Saw a kid hopping on their way to school and finger painting smiley faces in the morning frost on shop windows. Wonder when I stopped doing that. Enjoying the moment, not fingering the frost.

Negative space by necessity carves the positive. The true nature of a premise holds not only when it's true, but especially when it's not. Saying "I love you" in response every time, or just when you really feel it? Wearing a ring because that's a thing, or because you actively choose to?

Met a trope today. A woman driver doing her makeup in the car. Safely though, only when we stopped. Always thought it was a movie thing. Just hoping it's not time pressure but her optimized bleeding edge routine, as I would go with #HateEmptyTime

#drunkstr about the primary reasons for the space race and the discovery of America, ELI5 for LLMs (it's so refreshing having listeners actually interested in the plumbing!) and about our engineering shenanigans when we were younger. Got into that age I guess 😅 Huh, actually not that much of it, must have been information dense then #infodump

My subconscious way too often...

Now just to find someone to practice on...

Not wanting to scare it away, but it has been the fifth day of doing #5pushups, maybe this time it will hold up longer and I get to the mythical numbers where one starts to feel better just from exercising. Would certainly be nice.

Made the first run for the guerrilla park yesterday, initiated by our youngest. Just a handful of acorns and chestnuts, a gardening shovel and a water bottle. Discovered a few oak seedlings already there among the high grass. #GuerillaPark

Tried to get at least a small dose of dopamine for my wrinkly matter (as an exception to the rule, not talking about balls this time) and wrote everything I started this morning at work into a list, so I can strike it out as I go. Just leaving for an early lunch and there are 18 items on my list. A third crossed already. (I write down even distractions like nostr and checking that new medical study about night owls) What do you mean I have ADHD? Yo mama has ADHD!

Ok, time to dust off recovery protocols and try to convince clients that given the ease of automation, it's not if but when they get their first cyber attack. Despite their usually smaller size, the economics of targeting them in some broad yet tailored campaign stopped being a good defence. Safety among many is no longer a viable option out there. Looking forward to many accusations of how we try to wring every last cent out of them. Sigh. Road to hell and all that.

Do I know what I need? No. Would I feel better not knowing while being naked and with Your fingers in my mouth? Yes.

I talk (at least think) a lot of shit about the need for consent (you know, beyond dead simple things, more into the blurred lines territory like is it ok for a girl to present herself in the sauna in front of single guys? I said consent, not smart things) for a man who would happily take smut pics of a cooperating lady with a kids’ toy cam that prints directly on thermal paper (black & white, low res, whole #retro aesthetic) and leave them in public restrooms (on the high shelf 😁) or adult oriented books in the local library. #justDaydreamingAgain

Mid-reading Tolkien’s Hobbit chapter with Beorn (the werebear changeling), it occurred to me that both of his disputed origin stories could easily be joined and interpreted as some human fucking a big black bear. Well, fucking - I am sure there must have been love involved to bear fruit 😏 (at least that’s what the new Battlestar Galactica has told me and I am willing to die on that hill)

Treading the self inflicted path of an actually caring parenting approach, when kids ask "is that healthy?" (since, you know, we try to balance healthy food and sweets just the same as most), the answer I use most often is about moderation. Like even too much water can kill you, for some things the limit is smaller than for others, but there is still some. Yes, even for cauliflower. It’s funny how hypocritical that is, since the same rule applies to things like caution and I never check the dose on that one. I often let my subconscious keep topping it up until it reaches self-sabotaging levels, where I end up saying a project wouldn’t or couldn’t work. Two sides of the same coin. Will have to keep an eye on that. That and cauliflower.
