Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? Illustrator: That’s called negative space. It gives the composition some breathing room and draws focus onto the parts of the image that are important to the idea that is being conveyed.
Ruin a book by adding a word The EVIL Bible Captain Corelli's Mandolin Hammer Pride and Racial Prejudice The Problematic Godfather The Great Big Gatsby The Count Dracula of Monty Cristo The Lord of the Penis Rings Black Beauty Pageant Watership Down Syndrome The Erotic Tale of Peter Rabbit The Secret Murder Diary of Adrian Mole Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Massacre (reckon I've improved some NOT ALL of these tbh)
Russia can end the war at any time by dragging Putin into the street like the Ceaușescus
It's apparently National Coming Out Day. The first person I came out to was my ex. I was 25: One night, she was mad at me for mentioning how I thought Misato and Kaji's relationship in Evangelion was cute. She didnt think they had "real love" and was mad that I liked them together. She told me to
Bad news: Caps lost. Good news: the shepherd’s pie at Ireland’s Four Courts in Court House still slaps.
Dire Straits are FUMMIN after they found out that the pencil-necked desk jockeys at the council are planning to introduce parking restrictions on the Telegraph Road. “We’re going to have to leave our cars So Far Away,” muscle-bound Geordie strummer Mark Knopfler says.
Top of the class.
#31daysofgraves humor (humour) is the topic today. Once there was a post, by a claimed #taphophile, amazed to find a monument shaped like a tree (very common in the Midwest) It’s our private joke now- OMG COME OVER HERE, THAT ONE LOOKS LIKE A TREE!!! #cemetery #headstone #gravestone
Happy National Coming Out Day! in previous years i have come out as, in order: - bi - pan - queer - non-binary - trans non-binary - trans woman - lesbian this year i am coming out as: - tired #NationalComingOutDay
Intro to an actual podcast ad I just heard: “Starting a business seems easy, until influencers, Reddit and AI all give different advice”
Reading about selection effects in exoplanet samples, including P distributions Guy who looks at election polls all day: This is a lot like selecting for GOP wave years like 2022 and 2024 in polls in 2026 when those don't reflect the real electorate.
Years ago I noticed how the times of day that right-wing trolls were active looked a lot like Moscow working hours. And also how occasionally when I replied to them in Russian, they replied back to me in Russian too. When I talked about this, I was called paranoid. Freely admitted; doesn't mean I was wrong.
Have you seen the Dr. pepper commercial where the refs were pulled into a police lineup? "It was him," cried the fan. The ref says "Cry me a river". When what he was really thinking was "I just made six grand". The #NFL has a gambling problem.
underground hip-hop is a very weird microgenre because it contains both dudes whose main aesthetic inspiration was avant-garde electronica that sounds like cutting yourself and also dudes whose main aesthetic inspiration is they might be giants

Fantasy Worldbuilding advice: You actually DON'T need to know how many sheep exist in fantasyland before writing a novel or running a campaign in it. You have a "Go Outisde" Problem. It can be fixed by simply talking to other people who don't look and think like you. You know we synthesize wool?
My pledge is that Sliding On Ice will not be in a Russian data center, and will continue to run on an Intel i386DX computer housed in a computer lab in Rocky Mount, NC If you’re wondering how it loads so quickly despite that, someone pressed the “Turbo” button before booting the computer up
A commercial that starts out with a woman saying “my first memory of food is my mom taking food away at 5 and obsessing over my weight. Since then, I’ve thought about my weight every day” I was so stoked for it to be about how she realized her mom was an asshole…nope! GLP-1s on Medicare commercial
In my first year of university I had what I thought was a balanced diet of 5 pints of Guinness a day (spread out) accompanied by 5 packets of dry roasted peanuts. That was all. All was good until Easter when the pub wasn't opened and I shook like a leaf. Not drunk a pint since.
I just accused my sister of "being a big fan of colonialism" because she said she was on the side of the oxygen-producing cyanobacteria that caused the Great Oxygen Catastrophe of the Paleoproterozoic, 2.46 billion years ago.
If the Dems swing a massive win because all the botfarms in Yandex are suddenly down at just the right moment, I feel like they at least owe Ukraine a tip?

Look, go birds and Fly Eagles Fly and all those good things, sure. …but have we maybe considered playing with an offensive line that is any stronger than rice paper? I feel it could really help.
sonic mania mfs when sonic runs at 10 billion miles an hour so you never see any of the beautiful art and also there is a constant 24/7 assault on all of your senses good game though
It is actually illegal as a DJ(ane) to transition into playing acid without that one voice clip and track as a starter. You will get your deck destroyed by the acid entities.
I've made art complicated again when I said I wasn't going to "It'll be so simple this time I'll knock it out like it's nothing" Sure Christine, sure
Yes, yes, I am super happy readers got my books this weekend, but what made me even happier is that I sent home 5 of Dex Greenbright’s Defiant Potato stickers with happy customers. This quote makes me so happy.
what if they made the infinity tabs icon in Firefox swell up to become more and more rounded until it becomes a circle when you hit like 20000 tabs
currently in the "weak and having weird dreams w a low fever after NSAIDs" stage myself. kind of doubtful my dr will be amused if i tell her i lost 6% of my body weight bc of this tho. >.> can i go in to work tuesday? whoof. big maybe rn
I created 9 AI personas to test a product I'm building. 8 users with different roles + one very mean and judgy Internet tech review journalist. Absolutely amazing results... They drove the product using the Web UI, CLI, and through terraform and didn't hold back. UX epic incoming. 😂
Its National Coming Out day, and if you didn't know: I'm Gay, Poly-amorous, and so very tired. I also believe that Trans Rights are essential to the queer rights movement, your AI poster is ugly and you're stupid for making it, and no one is illegal on stolen land. (pic: baby me at pride)
I just peeked at his Twitter account and he's got literally dozens of posts about this over the last day or so. Just non-stop bitching that a woman got the Nobel Prize even though she's clearly got lady parts! It's just the saddest, sweatiest crashout I've ever seen.
"How dare you suggest that the fact that I have a face matters", says woman running for the "Leopards Eating People's Faces Party" right before leopards start eating her face. @leopardsatemyface #ReformUK #UK #SuellaBraverman tube.opentech-auc.org/w/9heXDS… en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Leopard…
The phrase “because my stream can’t keep up” in the Spectrum ad they play during Canes games will never fail to make me giggle

TFW you have your most powerful build so far (fists, great stacking status effects, solid cast) and arrive at Dad with 250/250 health and three death defiances... then it turns out that the 10th time you reach him he just lets you past. Fight, you coward!
If there's one thing I've learned from reality TV it's this; if your boss calls you into his office and fires you, you say thank you and in floods of tears you explain to the taxi driver why the boss was wrong

I always think I'm going to chew more than ten pieces of gum per day, but I never do. Which is fine because I need to chew less soon as I wind down. Also, I don't wake up needing it, so that is good. Waking up is the smoker's hour for sure...
Listen! I will tell you an epic tale. Of delayed trains, rail-replacement bus services and a signalling fault on the Glasgow low line.
Last evening I combined semi prepared ingredients to have food for the coming week. I might have done the most white man thing ever: Parbroiled Rice + a jar of hot Salsa + diced rotisserie chicken + oven roasted Currywurst+Cayenne pepper chickpeas. Is this what the kids call Boy Kibble?
I tried to understand that feeling you get when your love of a cute animal video turns to sick realisation you're watching AI slop.
a lot of my friends are trans women and/or defense contractors so my only public statement on the gaytheon merch is: my mailing address is discoverable and christmas is coming up. also i wear 10.5 male us shoes
The shitty humblebrag about the gap in your resume joke is that it’s like “do you remember the dotcom bust?”

solution: low level consumable items in an rpg should come with an expiration time. if you don't use them in the next ____ hours (in game time), they're gone.
I genuinely cannot remember. It was a reggae band. Oh! Oh! Third World! I basically ditched reggae entirely when I discovered how violently homophobic the scene was/is. Most my favorite artists had singles like Kill Da Batty Bois (Nah For Real Do It At This Party Tonight This Isn't Hyperbole).
If you find yourself short, may I suggest: taking up pottery, you will have more shallow bowls than you know what to do with, especially if you like me have hands that don’t have the strength to centre more than about 600g of clay
Remember a Hot Minute ago when I told you about all the roosters around here... And I was like it can't possibly get any louder than this... well... I was wrong 😆 Now there are like 7 new roosters... all in various parts of my hood and all going off at The. Exact. Same. Time Even my dog was like what are these things and why do they sound delicious? #AmWriting #Writing #Editing
It is funny reading the blurbs the spambot account creation requests have. "Tech necromancer, solo gamedev, Krita enjoyer, radical anarchist." Like that's exactly what a bio generated from the context of thousands of Fediverse users would say.
I have a tendency just to try and work through illness. But the nice thing about working with a team is that when you join a call looking like this ⬇️ You have people to tell you to go rest 🥲
It's October. Which means it's the start of months of whippets in jumpers. Which also means months of me having to retrieve blankets and snuggle sacks off them because they no longer slide gently off their incredibly silky butts when they get up.
