When Gen X goes into taxidermy. 😂

To all fathers of daughters out there, we're still real men! 😂🍻

Ok, Austria, I took one for the team. I got a big ass voucher for €5/7901 Sats. You pay 1% extra, min €5 and €200 max. The good thing is that you don't need to spend it all at once and you can use it like an anonymous debit card. It's one small step in the right direction. As a side note, Interspar has a bunch of other types of vouchers and we should be able to buy them using the Interspar one. Modern problems require modern solutions, I guess. 😂 View quoted note →

I'm sure there's a Ferengi rule of acquisitions that states something like "orange pilling starts in the family" so I introduced my wife to @PayPerQ and paying with Lightning. Needless to say, it was her wow moment. 😂

We live in the best of times.

Let's see if you're a glass-is-half-full or half-empty type of person. I found him!

Lucio Oliveri's 2012 sculpture "Il Grande Silenzio" (The Great Silence). You can admire it these days in Mougins, a gorgeous hilltop village in the south of France, at a 10-minute drive from Cannes, overlooking the bay of Cannes. This village is more like an open-air museum that I can't recommend enough, especially if you have kids and want them naturally introduced to art. If you need more convincing, Picasso spent his final years here. An extra tip. If you drive from Cannes, you can spend a few more minutes driving to visit Grasse, the world's perfume capital. To put it into a bit of perspective, if in the Champagne region you have a lot of houses, big and small, dedicated to making champagne, here's the same thing but for parfumes. Grasse can be accessed by train too, from Cannes or any seaside city on the French Riviera.

Life should be peaceful.

I was asked a question about this bronze sculpture and I realised that maybe I should offer a bit extra, at least once in a while. I don't have the resources to provide a new account related to art, nor the proper training since I paint walls for a living, but sometimes I like to joke that that makes me capable of talking about paintings, and maybe a bit more. And I like paintings too! This sculpture is called “Pheaton”, created by the Dutch artist Gabriël Sterk. It's related to the Greek mythology, where Phaeton, not listening to his father Helios, "joyriding" in his father's sun chariot came too close to Earth, risking destroying it with its flames. As a consequence, the angry Zeus struck him with a thunderbolt and made him fall into the waters of the Eridanus (hint: here comes the statue). [English is not my native language, so accept a few horrors here and there.]

Worst of 2026, so far. 🤣😂

I posted before about Ememem, he's a French artist specialised in making potholes "pretty". This is his last piece, in Reims (that's in the Champagne region 🥂). This is called flacking.

There are these days when I fucking swear every few minutes! 🖕😂

F'in joke of the day: What do an INCEL and EXCEL have in common? They both incorrectly assume that something is a date. 🤣😂

Life's good when you're surrounded by beaches. 🥂

If #flowerstr exists, let's use it. Did you know that you can make jam from peonies?

Happy 420 if you celebrate! Not my thing, 'cause I'm a functional alcoholic and it's enough, but it makes me smile and wonder a bit if it's a coincidence or not for choosing Hitler's birthday for this occasion. ✌️😂

BITCOIN! SOVEREIGNTY! Now that I have got your attention, here are a few pictures from Mougins, a small village in the South of France that you should definitely visit.
