Still haven’t figured out which content they’re not content with, because for starters I explicitly do not paint anything NC-17 rated (at least, not in the recent 3-4 years). Those 2,5 unicorns of NSFW images that are on my blog are well hidden under huge banners like, “AVERT YOUR EYES”, and they are most definitely not even trying to be ‘recent’. My most recent entry was a single image for an annual art exchange that included a singing elf of all things (the one before that was uploaded IN APRIL OF 2018, HOW RECENT IS THAT???).
As a piano nerd, allow me to reassure you that the reason that many Classical keyboard compositions sound terrible to you isn’t because you lack the background to properly appreciate them. I mean, you do lack the background to properly appreciate them, but they’re also objectively terrible, and the fact that you need the proper background to understand them is big part of why they’re terrible. They’re so preoccupied with demonstrating the technical skill of the performer that they totally forgot about actually sounding good, producing pieces that are comprehensible only to other keyboardists. And even we don’t really enjoy them – we just play them to torture ourselves, because all serious keyboardists are also masochists.

Fisherman: Friend, what do you want? [weasel sniffs at a closed bucket with fish] Hungry for some fish, aren’t you? Maybe I should give you a fishing pole? Eager beaver. Let me open it. [weasel is busy digging under the bucket. fisherman gently pokes it] Hey, there is a lid up here. Come on, pick any you want. [weasel grabs a fish and runs away] Hey, no “thank you”? Well, you’re welcome.
I’m NEVER going to get tired of watching Russians interact with wildlife
Poor chap. I really didn’t know what to do with him. The ground hasn’t frozen over yet, despite the snow, so maybe he’ll still find some place to winter.
OK, I know I’m a city boy, but I’m reasonably sure that the top one is wild pig. I’ve seen pictures, ok? And the bottom one seems to be a fox or some other small predator.
