I washed my bedding this morning but every time I tried to put the sheets back on there were cats occupying my bed. I eventually just had to pile up the sheets, which these three appreciated.

Me: Indoor rowing workout.

Loki: meow
Me: No, I can’t pet you right now.

Loki: meow?
Me: The handle only balances if I put two hands on it. That leaves zero hands for pets.

Loki: meow
Me: Sorry, I can’t change anatomy on demand.

Went to take out the dog, opened the front door, greeted by a big fat skunk right at the bottom of the front step. Thankfully it hustled off pretty quick before the dog figured out what was going on and he didn't get close enough to trigger a blast.

Давайте просто отдыхать
И в солнце ласковом купаться!
Давайте просто будем жить,
Ведь жизнь проходит незаметно,
Ничем потом не заменить
Ни этот миг, ни это лето!
Оно проходит навсегда,
Потом уже не повторится,
И не вернётся никогда,
Как жизни прожитой страница.
Перевернул, и всё прошло,
Закаты эти и рассветы,
И это дивное тепло,
И это сказочное лето...

Paolini fuori dal singolo degli US Open. Nel maschile derby toscano Musetti-Cobolli

Support-Ende für Windows 10: Millionen PCs betroffen
Mitte Oktober stellt Microsoft die regulären Sicherheits-Updates für Windows 10 ein. Erstmals können auch Privatnutzer an einem offiziellen Verlängerungsprogramm teilnehmen. Experten empfehlen dennoch ein Update. Von Jens Eberl.
Wer braucht schon Windows.
Ich hoffe doch im bezahlten Rundfunk von ARD und ZDF weiss man diese Nachrichten zu deuten und hat fleißig alle Windowsgeräte auf Linux umgestellt, um die unnötige Neuanschaffung noch einsstzfähiger Geräte aus den Rundfunkgebühren zu vermeiden.
Linux, Libreoffice, Thunderbird, Matrix sind DAS Handwerkzeug für Journalisten.
"The classical end of all pure democracy is the popular tyrant. And incidentally all successful tyrants throughout history have been popular idols."
- Dorothy Thompson, 1938.
Miss Thompson (a.k.a. Mrs. Sinclair Lewis) was the first US correspondent to be expelled from Germany after interviewing Chancellor Hitler. She stated upon arrival in Paris that he "is no longer a man, he is a religion."
Thompson also got thrown out of the German-American Bund's massive NAZI rally at the Madison Square Garden in 1939 for heckling the speakers.
What a woman!
"The history of the German-American Bund reminds us that facism is ultra-nationalist. In other words, there is no such thing as foerign facism. Facism is always home grown."
- Sarah Churchwell, Cultural Historian.

Emily Writes about the sad reality of #Aotearoa #NewZealand losing its courage to stand up for what is right.
That courage, that spirit of justice, is nowhere to be found when it comes to #Israel ’s brutal genocide and ethnic cleansing of #Palestinians.
Our reputation is in tatters, and we can never claim to be a country that stands up for what is right, regardless of what the #US thinks, if we don’t act immediately.

Final Fantasy (1987) for the NES.
The game that kicked off what would become the most iconic JRPG series of all time. A lot of people mistakenly think it was the first JRPG—but it wasn’t. What it was, though, was the one that introduced most Western players to the genre.
The mechanics are straightforward, heavily inspired by Wizardry and Ultima with their obsession over stats and party composition. Yet so many of the things we now consider JRPG archetypes—job classes, elemental magic, overworld exploration—were solidified here.
I never owned Final Fantasy as a kid, but when I finally got my own NES years later, this was one of the first cartridges I hunted down.

in reply to Ada 🏳️⚧️ • • •The image features a character named Thea from a video game. Thea is depicted in a stylized, cartoonish art style, standing on a circular platform against a deep blue background. She has dark hair with a yellow streak and wears a white cap with a green feather, a yellow scarf, and a black and white outfit with gold accents. Thea is holding a small black creature with a white face and yellow eyes. The character's pose is confident, with one hand on her hip and the other holding the creature. At the bottom of the image, there are two buttons labeled "Confirm" and "A," indicating an interactive element. Above Thea, there are several small icons, possibly representing other characters or items. The overall color scheme is vibrant, with a focus on yellow, black, and white, set against the blue background.
