Their poised yet defiant attitudes suggest a moment of pause amidst action — perhaps the climax of a story steeped in intrigue, danger, and mutual reliance.

This image presents an intricately sculpted figure of two characters, rich with emotional tension and striking visual contrasts. The man, with windswept hair and piercing eyes, exudes calm confidence. Dressed in a flowing green trench coat over casual jeans and boots, his stance and subtle smirk suggest a figure of authority or mystery. His arm wraps protectively around the woman, reinforcing his role as a protector or ally. Their body language and expressions evoke an air of suspense, romance, and danger.

This photograph showcases a captivating and highly detailed figurine of two characters locked in a powerful and emotionally charged stance. The man, standing tall and confident, is a commanding figure. His thick, tousled hair adds a touch of rugged charm, while his intense gaze exudes calm determination. The long green trench coat draped over his shoulders enhances his enigmatic presence, flowing down in dramatic contrast to the darker background. The interplay of their body language and expressions tells a story of both vulnerability and strength, making the image feel alive despite its static nature.

Just finished a couple of books by Byung-Chul Han. Deeply intrigued by his take on self-imposed efficiency.

But I was left wanting more. How do we fight back with Eros in the age of agony?

This miniature sculpture reflects the darker side of fantasy art, where beauty is found in the grotesque, and unexpected elements provoke curiosity and wonder.

The photo captures a remarkable, intricately painted miniature sculpture that exudes a sense of menace, grotesque beauty, and chaotic energy. The central figure is a hulking, grotesque warrior with distorted, fleshy features and grotesque musculature. His armor, battered and corroded, is adorned with jagged horns that curve outward, adding to his intimidating silhouette. The armor’s dark, rusted tones contrast with the fleshy pink and diseased-looking textures of his exposed skin, suggesting a creature corrupted by some dark force. His helmet, partially concealing his bloated face, has slits for the eyes, and his gaping mouth reveals jagged teeth, amplifying his monstrous presence. The attention to detail in the craftsmanship is extraordinary, creating a scene that feels alive and bursting with personality.

The vibrant bayou gremlin, bursting with attitude, and her enchanted wooden steed create a dynamic duo of mischief and mysticism.

This image captures a beautifully hand-painted miniature that bursts with color, character, and narrative potential. At first glance, it depicts a goblin-like figure astride a small, animated tree-like creature—a fantastical mount that seems both ancient and mischievous. The contrast between the organic, earthy base and the dynamic, vibrant rider creates an instantly compelling composition, reminiscent of whimsical yet perilous forest adventures from old folklore or tabletop RPGs.

The goblin herself is a dazzling centerpiece: her luminous green skin contrasts brilliantly against her richly colored garments—deep purple trousers, a vivid red sash, a blue scarf fluttering behind her, and a bright turquoise shirt sleeve. Each color pops without clashing, revealing an artist with a fearless sense of palette. Her posture, one arm raised high holding a crude, menacing club adorned with metal shards, evokes power and feral delight. Her face, now visible in fuller detail, is expressive—mouth agape in a shout or cackle, with eyes keen and wild. Beneath her, the wooden steed appears even more animated from this angle. Its face is carved with a mischievous and determined expression—its glowing cyan eyes and jagged wooden brow suggesting a spirit more cunning than brutish. The texture of its bark is lovingly rendered in earthy hues, enriched with mossy green hints and streaks of unnatural blue glowing from crevices—adding a magical undertone. The tendrils, roots, and twisted limbs all feel alive and reactive, as if this creature is both wild beast and ancient guardian.

This rear three-quarter view of the miniature unveils an entirely different layer of character—almost cinematic in its drama. From this angle, the dynamic goblin rider appears regal and commanding, gazing forward as her mount strides defiantly onward. We’re no longer just witnessing whimsy and mischief, but purpose and presence. The details hidden from the front now come into full focus, revealing even more complexity and flair.

I was surprised to realize that walking around the city without my contact lenses - with my vision at minus three, actually feels more comfortable than wearing them

Of course, I am talking about casual strolls, not business meetings. The world around me just doesn’t seem quite... frantic

This miniature figure that fuses artistry, elegance, and evokes themes of balance between beauty and power, nature and artifice. The cherry-blossom motifs, combined with the traditional samurai-like armor, suggest a cultural influence rooted in Japanese aesthetics.

This is a breathtakingly intricate miniature figure that fuses artistry, elegance, and a sense of otherworldly mystique. The figure is dressed in a complex mix of garments and armor. Her armor is a dark metallic shade, ornately sculpted with flowing patterns that intertwine like vines, complementing the fantastical theme. Delicate, cherry-blossom-like designs adorn her flowing purple garments, which billow dramatically around her figure, suggesting movement despite the static nature of the miniature. Her stance is commanding yet poised, suggesting confidence and a sense of purpose, as if she is about to step into a legendary battle or an elaborate narrative.

This photo captures the rear view of a meticulously crafted and painted miniature figure, highlighting the dynamic flow and intricate details of the character's attire and environment. The most striking feature in this view is the movement suggested by the long, flowing ribbons. Painted in a gradient of deep crimson to a soft magenta, they create a sense of energy and dynamism, framing the figure and drawing the eye to various elements of the composition. The balance between the ornamental design and the serene yet powerful posture creates a compelling visual narrative.

What sets this scene apart is the soldier's position atop the artillery piece, a symbol of victory, defiance, or even futility in the chaos of war.

This is a strikingly detailed diorama or miniature scene, meticulously crafted to depict a dramatic moment in wartime history. The focus is on a lone soldier in World War II-era uniform standing atop a destroyed artillery piece, which is perched precariously on a pile of rubble. The soldier is rendered with incredible realism, his uniform crisp and accurate to historical details, featuring meticulously painted insignias and creases in the fabric. His expression is stoic yet determined, giving the scene an emotional gravity. He clutches a submachine gun—a German MP40—across his chest, a pose that exudes authority and readiness. His weathered boots and the slight wear on his helmet add a subtle touch of realism that suggests he has endured hardship.

This miniature scene captures both the devastation of war and the resilience of those who endure it. Its level of detail, from the soldier’s expression to the texture of the rubble, invites prolonged contemplation. It is not just a static representation but a vivid narrative, full of tension and emotion. The craftsmanship elevates this piece into a poignant reminder of the complexities and consequences of conflict.

Thanks to #ElevenReader app narration, I've explored more books than I'd ever have time to read myself.

Yet, I often wonder: does listening #book offer the same depth of understanding as turning pages?

The convenience is undeniable, but perhaps something subtle is missed when words aren't absorbed visually. Maybe true insight requires the quiet intimacy of #reading.

Just finished Breath, The New Science of a Lost Art.

This book inspired me to explore orthopaedic breathing techniques.

The book includes a fascinating reading list that opens the door to a whole new world of literature on breathing.

This image captures a derelict freight wagon resting on rusted, overgrown railway tracks, evoking a profound sense of abandonment and decay. The wagon’s structure is a haunting testament to its age. Its wooden panels, warped and splintered, bear countless scars—gaping holes and deep cracks that speak of prolonged exposure to the elements. The metal framework is cloaked in layers of rust, an oxidized palette of ochre and deep brown that amplifies its weathered appearance. The roof, with its uneven corrugation, is dotted with patches of corrosion, giving it a precarious, fragile look.

This piece seems to celebrate the spirit of childhood -- the unyielding curiosity, boundless imagination, and the heartwarming companionship of a beloved pet. The juxtaposition of old and new, with aviator goggles and modern headphones, creates a timeless quality.

This image showcases a stunningly detailed miniature figure of a young girl, radiating an adventurous and nostalgic charm. The girl is dressed in a quirky, layered outfit that speaks of youthful imagination and exploration. She wears a lime-green T-shirt adorned with whimsical illustrations—one of which appears to be a playful monster or alien figure—paired with a turquoise skirt and off-white leggings. Her sneakers, slightly scuffed, suggest practical comfort for her adventurous pursuits. She sports a brown fingerless glove on one hand, adding a sense of rugged curiosity to her otherwise playful appearance.

The figure’s attire and the wreckage hint at a world where advanced technology led to ruin. The meticulous painting, from the subtle highlights on her armor to the dusty gradients on the ground, enhances the scene’s realism and emotional depth.

This miniature scene is an evocative diorama that tells a story of solitude, resilience, and perhaps a touch of melancholy. The woman has an angular, dynamic pose, leaning slightly backward as she rests on the machine. Her blue hair is vivid and eye-catching, a contrast to the otherwise muted and earthy tones of the diorama. She wears a mix of battle-worn armor and sleek futuristic attire, with details such as metallic knee guards and reinforced boots suggesting a life of survival and action. Her expression, though subtle, conveys introspection, as if she’s lost in thought or recovering after a long journey. The mechanical relic she’s seated on — possibly the remains of a robot — features a single visible, lens-like eye that stares blankly into the void, a haunting reminder of technology's downfall.

This set of four images provides multiple perspectives of a masterfully crafted diorama featuring a striking character and an evocative environment. The figure—a futuristic, battle-worn woman — sits atop a mechanical remnant in a barren, desolate landscape. Each angle emphasizes different details, revealing the layers of storytelling embedded in the composition.

I came up with a funny way to use an #LLM.

I send GPT a photo of my kitchen and ask it to suggest where to place the powder so the cockroaches are sure to find it.

This bust resonates with themes of shamanism, mythology, and the cycle of life. The crescent moon and earthy elements call to mind Celtic or druidic traditions, where the natural world was imbued with spiritual significance.

This image presents a masterfully crafted miniature bust, a vivid and evocative piece of art that feels alive with mysticism and earthy energy. The figure depicted appears to be a druid or shaman, radiating an aura of connection to the natural world and ancient rituals. The centerpiece of the bust is the figure’s face, framed by cascading auburn hair and a voluminous beard. The eyes are piercing, with a mystical blue face paint surrounding them, accentuated by a crescent moon symbol etched into the forehead. This emblem reinforces the character’s ties to lunar or cosmic influences, suggesting themes of mysticism and spirituality.

Earlier this month, I read to The #Autoimmune Cure.

It really helped me see why traditional medicine doesn’t always manage to fix things like psoriasis — and it gave me some ideas for adjusting my #lifestyle to better support how my body works.

That’s also where I first heard about the #eliminationdiet — basically a way to figure out which foods might be causing problems by cutting them out for a bit.

The book even walks you through a step-by-step guide to try the whole thing on your own.

This sculpture seems to draw inspiration from classical depictions of Venus while infusing a modern sensitivity to detail and texture. The delicate balance between sensuality, innocence, and divinity evokes themes of rebirth, purity, and beauty.

The image portrays a stunningly detailed sculpture or artistic representation of a mythological scene, radiating both classical elegance and an ethereal beauty. At the center is a feminine figure, likely a representation of Venus or Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. She stands gracefully on an oversized seashell, a clear nod to the classical motif of "The Birth of Venus." The goddess’s pose exudes fluidity and grace, her arms raised to adjust her flowing hair. Her long, golden locks cascade down in meticulously sculpted waves, framing her serene yet alluring expression. She wears a delicate pink, semi-transparent garment that clings to her form, revealing subtle contours of her body while maintaining a sense of refinement. A floral crown of vivid red roses adorns her head, adding a natural, earthy contrast to her otherwise divine aura.

This diorama feels like a bold reinterpretation of classic fantasy tales, blending elements of steampunk, gothic horror, and surrealism. It invites viewers to imagine a new narrative where familiar characters take on darker, more mature roles.

This image depicts a stunningly detailed diorama that immerses viewers into a fantastical, surreal world reminiscent of "Alice in Wonderland." Encased within a vertical frame, the piece combines storytelling, artistry, and intricate craftsmanship to create a sense of depth and otherworldliness. The scene is set under a luminous full moon against a misty, eerie night sky filled with gnarled tree branches. At the heart of the composition is a dynamic group of characters navigating a strange, dreamlike environment.

The laurel wreath and helmet suggest inspirations from Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, while the angelic wings add an unexpected spiritual dimension, blending mythologies and traditions into a singular figure.

It's “amusing” to realize that even the most groundbreaking project, if it's truly good, can simply be taken by those in power, renamed, and implemented without the original creator.

I've observed this more than once, though truly excellent projects are quite rare.

Despite claims of decentralization, the system’s structure is elitist: only Meritors are authorized to make decisions, which paves the way for excluding dissenting voices under the guise of selecting the “best”.

The rejection of parties and representative mechanisms appears as an attempt to eliminate ideological competition.

In conclusion: it is necessary to unify the Voices of Voters and the Body of Voices, and to clearly articulate the criteria for what constitutes the “best” meritocrat.
