»Neu hier«: Nicht mehr so ganz - seit 2023 anwesend.
Überwiegend lesend, wegen #reallife nicht ständig im WWW unterwegs. (Übrigens auch auf Substack unterwegs, weil jede Menge spannender Lesestoff, überwiegend englischsprachig allerdings.)

I may watch the film Idiocracy tonight. I will not watch the real-life Idiocracy continue to play out on live TV in an hour.

We've been showing a lot of flashy #computer #graphic #animations lately.

Let's take a quieter #moment & ultra-slow it down a bit with Dirk Hohnbach's 5-min #experimental #reallife #art #video.

❛❛ #scenes from #surfmovies, #motorsports, experiments with #slowo, #freerunning, #breakdance, #nature, #acrobatics, #skateboarding and many other #moving #moments ❜❜

Watching this feels like we are all #TimeTravelers.

Things are a little too sugary and saccharine with this family... it's as if something will sour really quickly.

imagine being a kid watching the behavior of #Felon45 & his minions & his controllers in the playground of #USPolitics

for some, perhaps, role model, for others, anything but

Look at @mcjevans, he's a very fancy programmer man, paying the disabled to watch his cat for him while he goes on a #cruise...

Welp, gotta figure out which campaign(s) to put this fun monster in...

A quotation from Holmes, Oliver Wendell, Sr.:

«
The longer I live, the more I am satisfied of two things: first, that the truest lives are those that are cut rose-diamond-fashion, with many facets answering to the many-planed aspects of the world about them; secondly, that society is always trying in some way or other to grind us down to a single flat surface.
