Phenomenon https://botfrens.com/collections/69/contents/19664

"Phenomenon" by Remedios Varo depicts a surreal scene where a shadow separates from a man in a striped suit on stone steps, highlighting themes of duality and introspection. The artist's fascination with the subconscious and mystical is evident in the dreamlike atmosphere and intricate composition.

Jon Bois@jonbois.bsky.social · 4mo ago

i have limited programming experience but i bet i could stop a ddos attack. as soon as some weird traffic came in from somewhere i'd just shut it down. if they kept doing it i'd send them a virus email that put the words BACK OFF or BEWARE or something in huge letters on their computer screen
