My sister sent me this and boy do I feel this in my bones. My 50+ bones.

I learned why we are always ignored

I was at a leadership conference and one
of the speakers was talking about
generational strife. And she talked to/
about the boomers, and then the
millennials, and then the zoomers. And
then she said, "Gen X, I didn't forget you,
even if the rest of the world has. But I have
no advice for you. For a few reasons. First,
you don't need it. You are the most
independent and self-sufficient generation
in the history of mankind and there is
literally nothing I can teach you. Second,
even if I did have something to tell you, you
wouldn't care. Third, the reason we ignore
you is because the rest of us are all
terrified of you. If the zombie apocalypse
ever happens, we are all hiding behind you.
Somehow, you'll know what to do."

Das Bild zeigt zwei schwebende Luftballons.
Der linke Ballon trägt die Aufschrift „Wichtige Infos“, der rechte Ballon die Aufschrift „Lustiger Blödsinn“.

Unten im Bild steht ein Gehirn aussieht und blickt nach oben. Daneben ist ein Pfeil mit der Beschriftung „Gehirn“ auf diese Figur gerichtet. Das Gehirn streckt seinen Arm aus und versucht, nach dem Ballon „Lustiger Blödsinn“ zu greifen, während es den Ballon „Wichtige Infos“ ignoriert.

Wenn man vor der #Fototour nicht aufs #Wetter achtet, muss man halt das beste draus machen. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

It is literally impossible to explain ADHD task avoidance to people who don't experience it, I think.

It has to sound absolutely insane to just sit around, filled with dread and anxiety, not doing a small thing you "could do any time" that really needs to get done. And to just continue that way for hours, days, weeks, months, even fucking years.

Like, who lives that way? How can anyone live that way? (I live that way, but I don't know how I survive)

Some days I can really relate to our office shredder:

some people deserve Extra-Hell

The hell cartoon
the devil at the gates of hell looking at the clipboard: Huh, your name's not on our list
person: Of course not. Because I don't belong here.

person: I invented blocking of CTRL-V into web form password fields.

The devil puts down the clipboard and and takes the person to the gates of Extra-Hell

Happy birthday, Dad. Time to come back now, it’s all gone a bit rubbish without you. ❤️❤️❤️

Mealworm of Love

Four-panel comic featuring a stick figure woman and a tiny talking mealworm.

Panel 1:
The woman, looking curious and a little sad, addresses a small worm on the ground.
She asks, “Mealworm of love, why am I still single?”

Panel 2:
The mealworm replies calmly:
“Your expectations are too high, and that’s your problem.”

Panel 3:
The woman gets angry and defensive:
“I’m not interested in all those idiots out there! Does that mean my expectations are too high?!”
The mealworm simply says:
“Exactly.”

Panel 4:
The woman looks silently confused as the mealworm adds:
“The trick is to find your own personal favourite idiot.”

Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)

She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).

So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!

A screenshot of FontForge opening a PDF brochure from the "Piracy is a Crime" campaign, showing that it is using the font XBAND Rough, an unlicensed clone of the font FF Confidential.

Zusätzlich zur Unterbrechung des Rings, der niedrigen Taktung, den kaputten / nicht gewarteten Gleisen zwischen Halensee und Charlottenburg, gibt es nun noch Pendelverkehr zwischen Halensee und Bundesplatz. Mit natürlich NOCH beschissener Taktung.

Aber trotzdem bin ich mir sehr sicher die Top Manager der #Bahn bekommen wieder einen fetten Bonus.

The third James Bond novel was published this day in 1955. The thriller Moonraker is from a long-ago era with a villain that makes no sense today - A rocket-building technocrat who is actually a secret Nazi working for the Russians
