I started with the pine cone, to see where inbetween pbr and handpainted I wanted the rest of the assets

Ah I couldn’t do that so easy. The nature of my day job means a lot of kids come across my profiles.

Gotta keep it bookmarked so you know never to look at its. Pure depravity

And for anyone who isn’t a politician or in a position to do any of this, dressing like a frog is the answer

Absolutely. I’ve coupled it all with some home automation and a live tracker to calculate the energy savings based on the current tariffs. It’s like a little scoreboard that gives a small dopamine hit whenever I see it.

I’m pretty sure as we get into November my solar panels alone won’t be enough to keep the house heated, but 9 months a year of almost no grid usage is pretty dang good.

It was expensive, and I had at least a couple electric shocks on the way, but it’s so good.

First world problem but this house is big and has so many radiators and bleed valves, it takes like an hour to repressurise everything ready to have the heating on for the first time since February.

But also fully off-grid heating is so good right now.

I’d assume you were a bot with that kind of take, but only a human can use intelligence as a yard stick while being so grammatically challenged.

DEI consultant entering my office, totally shaken up

“Yo did you know that there are PEOPLE out there? They’re just like, wandering around! There’s girl people and short people and different coloured people it’s insane! We gotta shove this into your game to let everyone else know!”

Ever think about how easy it would be to make a lot of money by just ditching your morals and sense of guilt?

Consider that when you see billionaires. They didn’t get rich by doing things nicely or working hard. They took the easy way (and had the easy start)

Frankfurt Kitchen

#reference #materialreference #buildingreference

Architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky revolutionised housework with this fitted kitchen, 10,000 of which were installed across housing projects in Frankfurt, Germany.
By her own admission, Schütte-Lihotzky did not know how to cook. Rather she designed this compact space based on conversations with housewives about their daily work. Features like a pull-out chopping board for food preparation and easy-clean surfaces aimed to make domestic labour more efficient and hygienic.
The V&A collected this kitchen for its Modernism exhibition in 2005, as an example of a successful and influential kitchen from the 1900s.

MAKER:
Margarete (Grete) Schütte-Lihotzky
LOCATION AND DATE:
Frankfurt, Germany. 1926-27
MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES:
Wood, glass, metal, paint, enamel

"DEI consultants" are a classic example of Genre Media Demiurge - a constructed enemy, responsible for everything wrong and corrupted about the work but not responsible for anything you enjoyed.

So does this person really think indie devs are hiring DEI consultants specifically to put women into games?

Portland right now.

Kermit the Frog sitting in his swamp and paying his banjo, singing:

Fuck you I won't do what you tell me Fuck you I won't do what you tell me Fuck you I won't do what you tell me

Fighting the Macho ManGuy with whimsy and joy totally contradicts the narrative of Portland being a ruthless war zone. It makes it so obvious who the aggressors are and can’t be reasonably framed as anything other than frogs dancing near guys with guns.

The Portland frog brigade is great. Not only is it bringing smiles where they’re desperately needed, but it’s showing the fascists that they’re not taken seriously, they’re a joke (albeit a dangerous one) so they’ll be treated like one.
