I love sketching Kīrolisks, because it starts as an asemic mark and I have to look for the entity within it. 😌

Laurie managed to sneak into the greenhouse this morning.
He has his eyes closed so that we can't see him, which is his response any time we find him somewhere that he thinks he shouldn't be. Cute - but it doesn't work.

I have a rather sad #caturday post today. This sweet boy is no longer in the physical realm with us. His kitty cat dementia and other health issues just became too much for him.
He had an episode where it seemed like he didn't recognize any of us and he's been with us since he was a teeny kitten. He attacked our other cat and was growling at everyone, even his puppies who loved so much.
I'm not really a cat person... never have been but he sure did make it a lot easier to think about being a cat person.
Bye Moby.

Sometimes I wish computers had an OST beyond the ambient "hard drive noises".
P.S. Please do tell me you love my shitposts.
yes, I definitely love your shitposts.
For me, the ultimate computer hacking music isn’t anything punk or techno, it is from this scene in the old 1992 movie “Sneakers,” youtu.be/F5bAa6gFvLs
I’ll bet Nina knows all about that film, but for those who don’t, it’s about a group of penetration testers who are hired to steal a computer chip that was developed by a mathematician who (unbeknownst to the pen tester) had figured out how to factor products of two primes in O(n) time and encoded his equation into a computer chip, thus letting them break any asymmetric key cryptography. This is the scene where they discover exactly what it is that they have stolen.
That is the OST for everything I do on a computer.
The guy who wrote the OST for “Sneakers” also did the music for “A Beautiful Mind.” youtu.be/ZF4d17PUb3M (warning, it is an American propaganda film).

Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy this pic of this beautiful tidal marsh that I saw on a walk near the ocean yesterday. This marsh is connected to the ocean (but not seen in this pic). I could hear the pounding of the surf from the ocean the entire walk! #ocean #hiking #CapeCod

“But many more scientists had not planned on relocating, until Trump began gutting funding and firing researchers. ‘This is my home — I really love my country,’ says a graduate student at a top US university who works in plant genomics and agriculture. ‘But a lot of my mentors have been telling me to get out, right now.’”

Mischief is putting in some cheery boxwork. The Opalcat is less amused so she is giving me a textbook classic #tortittude scowl.
OK so I made a video.

ICE officers arrested 54-year-old Julio Noriega and moved him into a van before he could explain himself, he said. He spent several hours in an ICE processing center before officers checked his wallet and realized he is a U.S. citizen.

People are expected to carry proof of nationality around with them in the USA?
That's pretty much the definition of a police state.

She was deported to #Auschwitz from Drancy on 28 October 1943. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.
