Today's jigsaw puzzle is about a certain mood. A dark rainy image of busy people in the streets of Paris. The lights glow and the rain water reflects.

Love the vibe in this painting by Charles Courtney Curran.

Just finished another round of my favorite jigsaw puzzle. It is big, but a lot of details to focus on and really interesting to study.

You can also collaborate with friends - just use the "Play with Friends" button and send the invite code and the URL.

My scared foster kitten fell asleep on me today. I did pick her up against her will, but she quickly gave in and started purring.

We took a nap in a chair together and when she woke up, she looked frightened like she couldn't believe she had fallen asleep and not kept an eye open. Poor baby.

"Too many European governments still behave as if losing Ukraine would be unfortunate but manageable. This is fantasy. The destruction of Ukraine would reshape Europe’s security architecture for decades, and not in Europe’s favour."

Strong message by @drjademcglynn.bsky.social.
Circus
Amidst the absolute chaos of a Witkoff-stamped Russian psyop-as-peace plan, discussion is filled with anger at Washington and at Moscow.

Still making online multiplayer jigsaws. I found this one more challenging than I imagined when I decided to make it. Lots of attention to details needed.

This is our little Christmas game with snow effect ❄️❄️ Snow is not part of the final game since it would put a strain on the players' computer. We only render when there are actual changes and not when the player is idling (🤔 thinking). #screenshotsaturday #threejs #indie #gamedev #blender #christmas

Bluesky needed a "Starry Night", so today's puzzle is by Vincent van Gogh.

I thought this one would be more difficult because of all the blue, so I didn't make it big, but actually it is on the easy side because the brush strokes reveal a lot. Beautiful to study.

I just got two very frightened #fosterkittens who haven’t had the best experiences with people. My job is to give them time and earn their trust.

Last night I spent some time just sitting near one of them. Then she crept under the blanket next to me and I put her on my lap. She purred tentatively.

Today’s jigsaw puzzle: the Mona Lisa.

You really need sharp attention to detail for this one. The subtle shades of brown. It is fascinating to study the painting so closely.

I just spent the last two hours debugging the Bluetooth stack *in anger* because for the last few weeks I've had to re-pair my mouse with my laptop. Every time. Remove mouse, re-pair.

Turns out I had two identical mice in my backpack and I've been switching between them.

It was me.

I really don't like it when charities send you physical mail to ask for donations (please use my donations for doing good instead of sending mail) but I also know they do it because it works.

Can we all just agree to donate without a reminder in the mail?
