psst. take a sec. and relax your shoulders

staying with a relative after a few days at family reunion. I'm currently "taking a nap", but really it's just me sitting in a quiet room by myself with headphones on for an hour because holy shit introvert's fatigue is a thing

I put hours & hours into this #blog, combing through newspaper archives for cool fun images of what newspaper illustrators thought of computer crime in the 1970s. If you’ve ever wondered about the origin of #hacker illustration tropes here it is.

Staircase Sunday! Is it a thing? Well, this is one of my favourite staircases. It was inside the Château de Le Quesnel (Château Secession) in France. Sadly, it was burnt down and lost forever.

thinking about how back in the day getting a U2 album for free whether you wanted it or not was the height of tech company bullshit

Wow, this is something else. JWST pic of a star-forming region just north of the Orion Nebula.

From the ESA webpage:

“This image shows just a small, northern portion of OMC-2, located 1280 light-years from Earth and a little north of the Orion Nebula. Every stage of star formation – from the youngest stellar embryos, to protoplanetary discs, to newly-minted pre-main sequence stars – is contained within just this scene, which stretches 150 light-years across. The intense star-forming activity has produced an impressive display of billowing outflows and sparkling stars atop swirling layers of gas and dark, obscuring clouds.”
