I suggest we bring this attitude to our doings in 2026.

When the carpet matches the drapes; dog edition.

In a beautiful merger of Dead Internet with people's intense love of quoting famous authors, today's image search turned up this wonderfully juxtaposed gem.
A quote from George Orwell's 1948 book, 1984. It reads "If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- forever." The quote is superimposed on an inspiring landscape image of a pier on a still lake with calm mountains in the background.

A zoomed in picture of a blonde, furry dog with black ears, bearing the attitude of an unknowing cloud, staring at the camera. Two little nubs jutting out of the bottom into patchy grass offer a rough estimation of his skeletal structure, it being much smaller than the volume suggested by his fur.

Doing the important work of reconnoitering the city of Bruges in advance of #Etmaal2025. She's a beaut!
A picture of a tree-lined square in Bruges at dawn. In the background a cathedral looms over the square, shrouded in a colorful haze of orange and blue. Dark storefronts and a statue on a plinth are silhouetted in the foreground.

Good to see Alan Cumming had such a strong musical career before his acting took off.

Loved seeing this one too. Almost got myself a 'computron', which also has that name going for it.
