Finally my desk is organized. I installed my monitors on a three-monitor stand and gained a ton of desktop realestate. Oh happy day!

No bread, no problem. Mammy taught me well. Freshly baked — olfactory heaven — carrying me straight back to childhood. Buttermilk and Greek yoghurt loaf for the win. From “just one thin slice” to nearly devouring the whole thing: exquisite. The alchemy of scent and flavour turns denial into communion.

Computers can be hacked—so can human minds!
Computers use firewalls—our minds need psychological defences.
What cognitive firewalls do you use?

Privacy: WTF is privacy ask Alexa, google home, ask your phone… ask your smart TV, fridge or even your smart bin and toilet. We have come to a point where if we want privacy, even at home, we need to construct a skiff (faraday cage)! Yet we still have people chasing the rather laughable Red-Herring conspiracy that vaccines contain a tracker in them: they don’t: but just about everything else we own is so “up in our business” you may think they’re a proctologist’s devices!

Love

Love is not sugared kisses or candied dreams,
it's not brewed in mystical love potions.
It's not rainbow colours or kaleidoscope themes,
Those are just fancy idealised notions.
It's not endless change and always exciting,
It's choice, it's work, it's tireless devotion.
It can be dull, grey, and emotionally biting.
Yet, in its embrace, we find profound emotion.

Amor dolor est, amor est voluptas, amor vita!
(Love is pain, love is pleasure, love is life!
