Finally got tired of struggling the the GNU Image Manipulation Program (ugh) and it is amazing how much easier this is for me to do like quick edits/photo bashing type junk. Thank you wayback machine.

Dog woke me up at 5:15. Fed her, let her out, let her back in. She's gone back to sleep, just snoring away over there. Little jerk 😂

I'm also convinced Miles Teller is a lost Manning brother

Enjoying The Gorge so far, but laughing at the plot of this section being "I know this gorge is the gateway to Hell but Anya Taylor-Joy is just too sexy"

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

I think the Nic Cage movie Arcadian was good but I'm actually not sure?

Movies you've watched more than 6 times, gifs only

On the one hand, I am old, on the other I've apparently been a Garbage fan since I was 11 which is pretty awesome 😂

People of Mississippi, do not go outside, it's not worth it

It is an hour before I'm officially on the clock and I'm having to tell people things like "Don't use the QA endpoint I gave you for testing in production" 🙃

I love this

Got really into For All Mankind. Last night watching the episode with the orbital hotel, relationship drama punctuated by disaster, I realized it's Space Grey's Anatomy

Call Travolta and Slater, we're doing a sequel called "Laid Off Arrow"

Sometimes I wake up at night and think about this garlic I ate once in Ireland. Aged something like 10 years in balsamic vinegar.

Me: I need these ink lines really thick, I'll use a brush Me, 5 minutes later: you haven't inked with a brush in over 10 years, why didn't you practice before you started this, idiot

Damp magic eraser -> 800 grit sandpaper -> 1500 grit -> burnish with a spoon

How did I get tiny coffee drips on this drawing? I don't bring coffee to my art table. ...it dripped from my mustache 😐

Got a free Nest Mini years ago, and finally set it up. After explaining to the 5yo it wasn't Alexa and how this one works, he started saying 'Hey Goo Goo', and it activates so that is how we engage with the Nest from now on

for every 50 likes nelly furtado will become like a bird.

Working on a cyberpunk/art nouveau piece, if this has been done a lot before don't tell me, it felt very creative when I thought of it 😂

Person who wants to use my new API: hey when will it be ready? Me: getting close, I just need some testers and feedback before we release! Person: oh ok, let me know when you're done

First time I've said "sexy toaster" since Battlestar Galactica ended

My DevOps guy was sick today. I got bored and installed Laravel Octane with FrankenPHP. The answer to how many requests you can handle per second is "how much CPU can you pay for". My laptop is returning 70ms max (8ms min!) at 1000 requests per second. 1500 maxes the CPU on docker 🤷🏻‍♂️
