Every once in a while, the internet delivers sublime joy.

Two images. On the left, Magritte's "The Son of Man" featuring a man in a black suit and bowler. A green apple obscures his face. On the right, a modern woman in white pants and a black top taking a selfie. Her face is obscured by an iPhone.

Below is the text:
Just imagine if Rene Magritte was actually a seer, he saw the future, but due to his time he couldn't understand and explain what kind of apples people have in front of the faces and simply painted his interpretation of what he saw.

Personally I like to edit in new and improved typos with every round of editing 😁 Even grammar has to 'Evolve or Die' in this new fast paced world 😜😂

Shout-out to the typos that make it through three rounds of content edits, copyedits, and two rounds of proofreading. I am inspired by your dedication and tenacity.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Calor nivel: hasta las gaviotas han decidido hacer una asamblea bajo una sombrilla ajena. 😂

Ni picotear, ni sobrevolar la playa, ni robar bocadillos.
Hoy toca respetar la sombra, mantener el pico cerrado y esperar a que el sol deje de comportarse como si quisiera freírnos a todos.

Al final va a resultar que no somos tan diferentes.
Ellas buscando un trocito de fresco... y nosotros peleándonos por los cinco centímetros de sombra que deja la sombrilla a las cuatro de la tarde. 🌞🪶

Moraleja ninguna.
Si hasta las gaviotas se han rendido al calor, hoy no le exijas productividad a nadie.

Ebook: https://books2read.com/EmergentConsequences

The painter of the universe, known as Life, just wanted to fulfill her reason for being, by creating a universe full of beautiful wonders and living things, but her twin brother, Death, exists solely to destroy her work, leading to an intractable argument about whose work should prevail.

@bookstodon
#author #indieauthor #writing #fantasy #fiction #shortstory #life #death #creation #destruction #humor #satire #darkhumor

(Left) The Cover of Emergent Consequences, by Owen Tyme, illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

Life and Death lay asleep in a the grass, the way they lay slightly resembling the yin-yang symbol. The tools of their trades are scattered around them.

Life is a woman with black hair, in a white robe. Behind her are the paint brush and palette she paints the universe with. She's rather short and has rosy cheeks.

Death is a skeleton in a black robe, which appears to be continually disintegrating at the hem line. Behind him lay his scythe and scroll of names.

Between Life and Death is the hourglass that serves as the source of time for the entire universe, an item that's most commonly carried by Death, but which is part of the work of both of them.

The artwork is cartoonish, with some bushes and a tree that has one red piece of fruit dangling from it. The scene is looked upon by the sun, which frowns at everything.

(Right) The background is an image of some green bacteria with the following quote over the top:

"I think I'll call it Ted."

"Ted? You want to name a micro-organism Ted? Are you serious?"

"Yes, Ted."

"Alright, I just thought Bob would fit better."

All in favour of changing Library to Book hoard, and Librarian to Book Dragon? 😁

P.S Book Dragon is obviously the best kind of dragon 😊

Post by dolohkov:

An Old English word for library was “bochord”, which literally means “book hoard”, and honestly I really think we should go back to saying that because not only does it sound really cool, but it also sort of implies that librarians are dragons.

Amazon Compute Linkline for Startups connects your workloads through a fully managed linkline architecture that continuously routes compute resources along a straight path until they reach their intended destination, at which point they are automatically redirected to a slightly different destination for optimization purposes. The linkline operates at up to 10 Gbps throughput with sub-millisecond latency in us-east-1, and is available in other regions once you open a support ticket, wait 6 to 8 weeks, and accept that the latency numbers in the press release were measured under conditions that no longer exist. The Free Tier includes 500 linkline-hours per month for the first month only, after which your account will be billed per segment traversed, per redirect event, per optimization suggestion whether accepted or not, and a monthly linkline-presence fee that is listed in the pricing page under a tab that renders incorrectly in Firefox.
