I think Amber fits you very well. :)

As a 50-something year old working mostly with 20 and 30-something year olds, I feel that pain nearly every work day.

A few years ago, I answered "Mork & Mindy" to an icebreaker question during orientation. The young woman from HR had no idea what that was. 👨‍🦳

I would not. In fact, I feel personally insulted when I find myself reading something online that wasn't written by a human.

I'm glad to know he feels that way. I'm sure he considers the paperwork underlying his bank accounts, vehicle title(s), and personal property all equally provisional.

I think somebody needs to tell Andy that we're going to seize all his shit, regardless of any "paperwork" standing in the way.

Oh yes, I see your new watch now that you mentioned it! 😜

Way to stay ungovernable! 😆

Is it just me, or does the US nearly always make things worse in the Middle East when we intervene militarily and attempt to topple a regime?

We still don't have all of those Epstein files.

That's a good point. I can't prove that you all don't vanish from existence once I close my browser — only to be reconstituted when I fire it up and click that tab again.

Or maybe it's the exact opposite: I only exist when seen by you!

Are you currently contributing the environmental destruction of our planet?

A. Yes, I poured highly toxic chemicals into a lake on my way to work today.

B. No, but I feel a deep need to hurt animals and people.

Looking forward to unplugging from the world and reading for a while tonight. The world will continue its death spiral, whether I'm watching it burn or not. 🌎

The pollen is starting to get to me this afternoon — and I'm inside next to a small air filter, not far from the household air intake where I just changed the filter last weekend. 🫤

Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

I genuinely had no idea that's what that word meant. I've heard the expression but never echoed it (thankfully).

Awesome! I believe I've got a roll or two in the freezer. 😀

Nudes in nature are the best kind.

A favorite emulsion of mine. It's been years since the last #FP4Party! Are we doing one?

It can be a fine line. Using an Auto button to optimize exposure and white balance can be considered a form of artificial intelligence. But those tools have been around for many years, and don't rely on stolen data.

i draw the line at tools that insert stolen graphic elements whole cloth.

Shame about the women.

Thanks, Paula. :)

I'm sure it's tasty, but the color scheme reminds me of old cookbooks from the 70s, with their copious jello molds and oddball colors. 😀

Managing a smile without looking like I plan to eat the viewer is tricky.

For this shot, I visualized a power portrait for some executive in a high tech company — so there's a bit of playful irony here as a mere peon. Might as well put my skills to good use! 😆

Thanks. When I sent it to HR a few minutes ago, I asked if they could please leave a bit of the tie in the photo. I got it just for this shot! Some companies like a really tight crop, so we'll see what they do with it.

Portrait of a middle-aged man in front of a dark background. He's wearing a light blue dress shirt and a tie with penguin prints. He's looking up towards the camera at a slight angle, arms crossed, and has a faint smile.

Taking a self-portrait is always a challenge for me, and the subject doesn't make my job any easier. 😆 After puttering around with lights and some editing tomfoolery, I think this is a passable head shot.

The tie says IT professional, but the penguins say, "Microsoft software — really?!" #Linux

Jesus' prophecy about "wars and rumors of wars" before the eschaton continues to have zero predictive value.

War has been a reality for humans stretching back to prehistory, and there is no basis to think we're now living in special times.

He ain't coming back; it's up to us to stop the killing.

US state laws push age checks into the operating system : Bad legislation, but an especially big headache for FOSS

"Please won't SOMEBODY think of the children?!"

It's a total coincidence that Big Data and the government will have new ways to track you with these laws. #AgeVerification #Privacy www.theregister.com/2026/03/06/o...

Male, not "mail." 🙄

Up to half my kingdom for a Bluesky edit button!

Tell me more about this Wheeler Jesus.

A nesting pair of hawks in the crook of a distant tree. One is resting in the nest. The other (presumably the mail) has just landed, and is standing looking in a different direction.

A male red cardinal perched on a backyard fence. Directly behind him, ivy grows up the side of a tree.

A pileated woodpecker, with its dramatically red head crest, holds onto the side of a tree.

A little amateur backyard birding this morning. The nesting pair of hawks are back for the 3rd year since I've been watching. I had to crop that image heavily, even at 600mm equivalent on an APS-C sensor. #Birds #FujifilmXT5
