He looked so regal in that pic, I had to draw him! Hope that's OK. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. He looks a beautiful boy who probably purred really loud 🌸☘👑
A digital illustration of an incredibly fluffy cat, drawn in a watercolour-and-ink style. The colours are pastel with lots of yellow, aqua, and cool pink. The cat sits facing us, his bushy white chest contrasting with brown tabby colouring, giving the air of a wise white-bearded king. He has white paws and a white blaze on his face that covers his cheeks and nose. His long, bushy tail curves behind him, adding drama to the seated pose. A gold crown with red gems floats above his head like a halo, sending off radiant lines in the background. He sits on a fluffy white cloud. Around the image is a stylised frame, decorated with red clover (state flower of Vermont) and in the centre, the subject's name: FERGUS.

Gandhi would not have been successful if there had not been a lot of violence and resistance alongside him. Gandhi's embrace of nonviolence gave the British a way to exit and save face at a time when it was becoming clear that they could no longer hold India for long.

well i tried to connect the ardiuno ide to some kind of esp32 thing and it didnt immediately work so i gave up.

If anyone has a good tutorial trail for this sort of thing that'd be super. I am of course running linux, so if its not all windowsey that would be cool too.

One Piece of Trivia
a comic that looks like a retro back of a magazine ad that says "do you have one piece of trivia that you love to whip out in conversations?" A floating young man's head says "Did you know Roger Ebert wrote Beyond The Valley of The Dolls?" A floating young woman's head responds "the drummer from Fall Out Boy is an 'anarcho-primativist'" Big text says "EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS! It's not interesting! Gain real knowledge today!" Even bigger text says "Descend into your city's sewers!" Slightly smaller text says "enter a world of esoteric truths while you wind your way through a labyrinth of forgotten catacombs!" A second young man, sticking out of a manhole, covered in gloop and smoking a pipe gives testimony: "I've seen things down here you people wouldn't believe! Beneath our feet, a world beyond your comprehension. The secrets shared with me by the mole people are worth more than 100 years of schooling!" Finally, text at the bottom says "Impress your friends! Terrify your neighbors! You'll be the life of every party!"

sora is both extremely impressive but also such an amazingly bad idea and I think it’s neat that we’re so far past the “good idea” rubicon that this got greenlit. who the fuck cares about anything anymore?

Absolutely no respect for dudes who collect lots of little Funko style toys. As a grown man you should get one toy every 2 years, it should cost at least $4800, and be grounds for divorce
