A quotation from Samuel Johnson

But when thoughts and words are collected and adjusted, and the whole composition at last concluded, it seldom gratifies the author, when he comes coolly and deliberately to review it, with the hopes which had been excited in the fury of the performance: novelty always captivates the mind; as our thoughts rise fresh upon us, we readily believe them just and original, which, when the pleasure of production is over, we find to be mean and common, or borrowed from the works of others, and supplied by memory rather than invention.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1754-03-02), The Adventurer, No. 138

Wishing I could be shocked that the current executive branch was trying to undermine the constitution... Really disappointed that our local congress who cheats at hockey is neck deep trying to undermine the constitution with a bill to interfere and undermine state elections

@Binder Today, I accidentally discovered the hashtag #RadonGasExposure. But, being me, I read it #RaDongASexPosure Is a "posure" a cross between a position and a posture? I should look into this... oh, I mis-read it. #disappointment

Došel jsem na konec Duolinga 🇩🇪, takže teď můžu v klidu spočinout.
FYI takhle to tam vypadá. Žádný Easter egg, žádný cool obsah, žádná aspoň ochutnávka něčeho víc (Texty písniček? Křížovky? Vtipy? Slovní humor? ...) Jen dokolečka náhodně vybrané předchozí lekce.

But I guess still better than AI slop lessons. So take your time, @duolingo .

Duolingo end level 80, with just 6 circles of lessons around the owl.

A quotation from Ambrose Bierce

OBLIVION, n. The state or condition in which the wicked cease from struggling and the dreary are at rest. Fame’s eternal dumping ground. Cold storage for high hopes. A place where ambitious authors meet their works without pride and their betters without envy. A dormitory without an alarm clock.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
“Oblivion,” The Devil’s Dictionary (1911)

Whether you got what you wanted or... well, didn’t, may my gift bring you joy or at least a chuckle! So, are we cool? If not, just remember: it’s the thought that counts... right?

A humorous and playful illustrated message about expectations, featuring two anthropomorphic animals. The left side shows an anthro purple dog expressing joy from receiving what was requested, while the right side features a gray anthro cat looking disappointed. The text below the dog reads, “For those who not only asked for it, but also actually got it.” Under the cat, it says, “For those who didn’t get what they wanted! You’re officially part of the ‘Better Luck Next Time’ club.”

I hate Wireless WPS setups. The Office HP printer decided to take a holiday today and no amount of button pressing on the printer and router will get it back online.

Of course it happened just before a meeting where I needed some documents.

Just to make things worse my office Laptop decided to reboot whilst I was out of the room. It has taken me 20 minutes to get back to where I was.

I should have stayed at home :(

@ahalam I was excited about Graphene OS until I saw that they're still a part of Elon's circus of bullshit.

🎩🔍 misplaced an animated rabbit, and we're all supposed to care? 🤷‍♂️ Meanwhile, Doctorow's 'privacy' crusade feels more like a hipster's wet dream: no ads, no trackers, just a whole lot of smug. 🐰💨
