Just finished watching They Live (1988) again, one of my favorite movies, and one that has (sadly) remained relevant for nearly 40 years (some might even argue it’s more relevant today than ever).

Obey. Consume. No independent thought. Honor apathy. Do not question authority.

They live, we sleep.

Rachel Judge: When sleeping on the job is not enough to justify dismissal
With the Fifa World Cup kicking off today, some fans will have a busy viewing schedule to fit in around working hours. With a few early morning starts, staying awake for the rest of the day may become tricky. Where does that leave you if you fall asleep on the job? Recent case law shows that justifying dismissal in this situation is harder than you may think.

I can’t tell if this actually is a vacation or just therapy for burnout. 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Awwwwwwww! I love these stripes, very cool!

Oh, I bet these inclines are no joke. I also know one about 200 meters long terribly steep dirt path up a hill around here. Climbing that is super exhausting. I just looked it up on a map. And it’s just ~17° or ~30% incline. Okay, that’s absolutely nothing compared to your adventure. :-D

But you got your exercises for the day then. Which will make for an even greater sleep tonight. ;-)

2nd Van trip coming up this weekend, taking Friday off work. Gonna sleep in the Van tonight and see if I can fiddle with the town water supply (basically our outside tap near the Van haha 😆) and see if I can have a shower in the Van, brush my teeth and go to bed 🛌 – Basically I just want to figure out the rest of the plumbing 🪠

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It’s not that bad. She let me sleep three times last night alone!

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Congrats, mate, no sleep at night anymore! ;-D That’s a cool age measuring blanket. Haven’t seen something like that before.

Btw. the index.html includes an out of place </ul>. And I just wanna let you know that the full-size photos don’t load for me over here across the pond. They always run into a timeout after a few slooow percent. But no worries. :-)

Wel… It was a very comfortable night’s sleep 😴

sleeping in my van tonight, which is parked outside the front of our house just as a test from overnight 😂

What a beautiful, beautiful 0°C Sunday arvo and evening! The weather forecast delayed the snow by the minute. An hour or so after it finally started very, very lightly, I headed off for the woods to check out the lake again. Unfortunately, with the fresh snow layer, the crazy wild surface texture of the ice sheet wasn’t visible anymore. But it brought some other nice views and photo opportunities.

I initially thought that I just go for a quick turn. However, with the snowfall a wee bit increasing I was hooked and kept going. Visibility was poor, but the snow blankets just looked too stunning. The road surfaces were quite slippery, so I often just walked alongside the pathways. On downhill slopes I had some good fun sliding down the road on my feet. With varying success. Luckily, I managed not to fall.

On the summit of the mountain the twigs had those absolutely magnificently looking windblown crystal coverings. Awwwwwww! They never get old. It was already getting dark, so the camera was tired and wanted to sleep. The snow program then made use of the flash and I’m quite pleased with how these shots turned out.

Two deer crossed the road in front of me and ran into the woods, that was sight for sore eyes. Although I felt bad that they had to flee from me in this white terrain. By the time I got home, the snow had accumulated around eight centimeters in height, even in town down in the valley. Walking on this fresh snow is just amazing. And I love the sound it makes. Today, the snow consistency must have been just right, because the crushing sound was really loud.

I cannot recall that I had frozen hair and beard before, but today, there was a thick ice buildup. In case I had, it was definitely never this much. Felt really cool.

Enough of this preliminary skirmishing, there ya go: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-01-25/

Poor Sleep Quality Accelerates Brain Aging
A large-scale study tracking more than 27,500 middle-aged and elderly people over roughly nine years has found that poor sleep quality is associated with accelerated brain aging, and chronic inflammation appears to be one of the key mechanisms driving this effect.
