Dudes rock.

Definitely agree, can see what you’re saying.

Would like to add, that it also makes him a better fit for this role, if that makes sense.

Similar to, how in workplace, you’d get better managers from folks who got pushed into that role by situation/circumstance & chose to step up to the challenge.

Artemis 2 launch, NASA downloaded video from down-facing camera on upper stage.

There was another drone as well, that hit an apartment building in Lviv’s Sykhiv neighborhood. I have family there as well - thankfully they are okay. Just got windows busted by the shockwave

It’s maddening stuff. I used to live within about 15 minute walk from this place.

Great shot - I loved that place

Cover of John Varley’s book “Demon” (part of his Gaean trilogy)

Books #3-5:
John Varley’s “Gaean” trilogy. Discovered his works last year, with four books of the “Eight Worlds” series - enjoyed them tremendously, so decided to continue the journey. Gaea was a trip for certain!

Thank you, we hope so too! 🙏🏻

One of the neighbors did say that he may have seen him cross that road too some days back, promised to keep an eye out.

Girl cats (we have two) miss him as well - try to call out from the backyard and the youngest started bringing the fuzzy ball toy that Buddy loved to play with to bed

Been kind of crazy stressful past few weeks without the silly little guy.

Did find his collar (with AirTag) on the side of the road around the corner from where we live, but no other traces. Collar was of this variety that would open to avoid choking the animal.

HELP! Buddy is MISSING! Short-haired tabby with black spots on back, multicolored nose with white stripe

Mr Buddy disappeared last week sadly :(

Intense and at times uncomfortable read. Excellent.

Greetings! Several hundred protesters are currently at Pershing Square. They are protesting against recent fatal shootings in the US by ICE officers.

Excellent captures! Liking the third one a lot

3 Screenshots from the movie "RoboCop" (1987): First, a group of lab technicians in party hats wave enthusiastically, surrounded by New Year’s decorations, with the caption, "Hey, look, look! He's watching us!" Second, a close-up of a woman wearing oversized glasses and holding up a festive New Year’s hat, smiling warmly at the camera with the caption, "This is for you." Third, the same woman leans closer to the camera, delivering the caption, "Happy new year," with a cheerful expression.

Dec 31st - While the scientists working on it had a new years eve party, the in-production law enforcement cyborg "Robocop" woke up.
